Today I found an article on chipmusic on the BBC site. Nice to see Tristan get some publicity for his new release, and to hear the guy behind the documentary that 10k mentioned a few weeks back too. Expect the usual references to old video games and Pixelh8 mentioning 8bitcollective too, haha.

Overall it's not a bad article though, just lacks a lot of research into the past and like most other articles will probably give off the impression to outsiders that we spend a lot of our time trying to make our own musical homages to Zelda.

CJ Noks1, well done, he's been caught before - does anyone remember on 8bc the whole chip + guitar track he ripped off of youtube?

I have a track chip and guitar, called the Digital East Sunrise, he betrayed him for the track about rabbit))) if we are about him, he stole this song from promodj.ru

I think the track that Beverage was referring to was by another artist called Fearofdark, (unless you are referring to another Moxom theft altogether Beverage)

Some temp sound solutions stuff is beautifully mellow too, particularly the tracks that were released on Ubiktune across the <insertseasonhere>tunes releases.

Some good stuff here! Enjoyed Sneedlehog's Pulsewidth cover the most although some other really good tracks in there.

A few of the ID3 tags are messed up a bit though; I can't remember all of them specifically but I think 'Alberto Balsam' should be changed to 'Alberto Balsalm' and Sneedlehog's tune has some word after Pulsewidth that shouldn't be there. Two of the tracks have something along the lines of 'demo' or 'cover' after them too.

Nothing major though, probably just how the artists sent their tracks in wink Thanks for organising the compo Emar big_smile

Yeah, really nice release! Don't normally dig much FM stuff but this was great! Satellites was my favourite too, I'm a sucker for ambience smile

not sure if it'll run on a 1040STF but musicmon might be a good shout?

Mine will be on its way soon in the next hour or so, I had a lot of fun making this! Good luck to everyone who entered smile

Edit: sent!

also how would one turn a song made in mod2psg2 into a wav file?

Here is how I do it (probably an easier way to do it but I've never known any better):

Make sure you save your file from mod2psg2 as a .vgm file first. Then proceed to download Winamp.

Once you've downloaded and installed Winamp download this plugin which enables .vgm playback in Winamp (can't remember exactly how I installed the plugin but I think there is a plugin folder in the Winamp directory on the C drive)

Once you've done all that, add your desired .vgm file to the library on Winamp and right click it>send to>format converter>convert to desired format.

Hope that helps!
