/hugs for the community, thank you for inspiring and opening my mind to a multitude of beautiful new musical worlds this last year
have a great 2013

what a month it's been, so much quality, and this is right up there.
that's some lovely work.
captures the feel of early acid so well, reminds me a lot of tuff little unit's "come and join the future" and that fuse vs. lfo track the title of which escapes me.
thankyouthankyouthankyou for much happiness
soulful stuff
thanks for the nice comments. I just put up a bunch of demo tracks from it that fell by the wayside.
even the out-takes make a spectacular release.
frightening.
I've maybe posted this before, but it's still a great concept, encouraging fresh thinking that is also personal :

a few examples that have got me inspired this morning
"You can only make one dot at a time"
"Dont be afraid of things because they're easy to do"
"Give way to your worst impulse"
great stuff ! shades of early Autechre in there
been looking forward to this one for a while now, going to be a great weekend
even if it turns out we're all wrong and there's a third thing it can be, it's not going to change the way people write music
Yeah, that's probably true, I can't really disagree without something desperate like "well, we don't know what the new thing the far out guy is going to say", and even I can see that's barrel scraping.
Not many people changed the way they used numbers after Godel tore the previous assumed truths to pieces, but it was still a powerful and beautiful thing to do.
Would have been sad if someone said him, "Oi Kurt, shuttit ya troll, people have done number theory in the other journal mate and your new here anyway"
Personally, I think a lot of the debate is more a problem of language than logic; so back to the tracker..
chip music is the best language to define chip music 
how can you ask this question differently though?
if chipmusic as a medium is heading north at 80mph and chipmusic as a genre is heading south at 75mph ...?
that was in response to nitro2k01 - who posted 8 examples.
The point I really wanted to make is that knowledge isn't a static thing, and if people are discouraged from questioning current thinking improving it will be more difficult.
If this discussion ceases for all time we will never hear from the guy who has the new insight which opens our minds to whole other worlds of possibilities.
This happens in things as objective as maths and science all the time; the chances of it happening with music conceptualization are high, and slight alterations to the question can shed new light.
For me, for now, the chipflip definition trinity seems the best we have.
At first glance I thought
it doesnt matter...
if you want to shoehorn them into a classification instead of a feeling, then you're making art under completely plastic pretenses
had it nailed, but then
none of this makes any difference to the actual sounds I'm trying to make, it's more of a fun text based mini game to play while the other part of my brain works out how to finish those tracks it's working on.
if you insist that chiptune isnt a genre it's your own fault when rock fans dont like your NES music at their gigs (which they won't)
i think you might be trying to legitimise it by saying "it's not a genre, it's a way of making TOTALLY LEGIT rock music!! just like nirvana and the beatles!!"
if someone played me a heos song my first thought would be "what a cool chiptune" not "what a cool metal song" and so would you i think and so would everyone else
very very rarely, it's possible for things to work the other way around, this one I first thought "what a rockin rock track", and only realized a few weeks later how synthetic it was.

it's a rare thing though...
ethos
inspiring and beautiful
Some random 4am warehouse conversations about how to create better feedback loops for performance have been coming back to me after reading this thread...
"wouldn't it be great if we could monitor peoples heartbeats and temperatures and change the tempo and rhythms based on that... and 303 sounds seem to get peoples spines moving more when they're dancing, so if we could somehow video the people dancing and analyze the images the rubbery bassline could be based on that"
Using something Kinekt like, this stuff isn't at all impossible now.
Post-gig analysis would be interesting too -
37% more people raised their hands to 1m or above when major 7th chords were playing, kindofthing
