Fami supports MIDI, but I dont think the NSF or PRG files it creates does.

Greetings everyone!  I will be performing this Saturday at an Art Event in NYC.  Here are the details:

New York, November 10th 2012 – TEMP is pleased to announce CAN’T HEAR MY EYES, an evening of performance art and music by is. (aka Richie Brown) and HeavyW8bit organized by co-curators Chris Romero, Kimi Kitada, and Kristin North. Brown’s performance of the Will Smith E.P. opens the night, followed by HeavyW8bit’s melodic chiptunes.

is. (aka Richie Brown) takes his performing name from an interest in language and the writings of Alfred Korzybski. In his performance Will Smith E.P., Brown appropriates the music and films of rapper and actor Will Smith to comment on identity, popular music, and the tropes of hip-hop. Brown’s work manipulates and deconstructs Smith’s image, satirically echoing Smith’s transformation from a young rapper to an Oscar-nominated actor. The outcome is an abstract portrait of the former Fresh Prince that is equal parts experiment, tribute, and obsession. Brown’s work has been featured at 3rd Ward, Brooklyn; Webster Hall, NYC; and The Gutter Gallery, NJ.

HeavyW8bit, a chiptune musician, repurposes computer and video game consoles to create original musical compositions. Chiptune, as a genre, magnifies the capabilities of video game systems, giving new life to outdated devices. As a performer, Heavy’s stage persona pays homage to the exuberance of 80s and 90s professional wrestlers, which gained increased cultural attention at the same time as video games. Heavy’s custom-made software, capable of transforming the NES into a drum machine and the Atari 2600 into a lo-fi visual mechanism aids his prowess in the chiptune arena. Heavy has played all over New York including Queens Museum of Art, PULSEWAVE NYC, I/O Chip Music, and Figment.

I used to use the double kicks but it killed the dance floor every time i threw it in a live set.  But you are totally right I should mention how the drum beat is diff.

Thanks for checking it out!  The NSF's were written using FamiTracker, and I did the rest of the NES code.  For the art I took pics found online and converted them to NES graphics.

Cover Cart Vol. 1 - NOFX

Featuring all the NSFs from my NOFX cover set at the 2011 Halloween edition of PULSEWAVE.

Song Listing

Moron Bros., The Longest Line, Kill All the White Man, Stickin' In My Eye, Bob, Linoleum, Leave it Alone, Don't Call Me White, Lori Meyers, 180 Degrees, Falling In Love, Franco Unamerican

Hidden Bonus Track

I had about 2 weeks to come up with the set and did not get a chance to finish Kids of the K Hole in time. The unfinished track is hidden as an easter egg in the the welcome screen code of the ROM.

The Bonus Track can be unlocked with Game Genie code: PENTKIAA

Limited Edition Cartridges

In true Punk Rock fashion, a limited set of cartridges will be made. The Ltd. Edition Cartridges will feature a different welcome screen, and the bonus track play without the game genie code. Each cartridge will be numbered and the corresponding number will be displayed on the welcome screen.
Sign up for the email list to be notifed when the Ltd. Edition Cartridges are released.

Download the ROM at: http://heavyw8bit.com/nes_nofx.php

Dear Mods, I wasn't sure if this should be posted in the NES or Releases section.  Feel free to move the thread if necessary.

Developed a webpage that will generate a custom Atari 2600 ROM file that you can use for some visuals.

AvsB: I think some performers might be under 21.  If you are at least 18, then just bring a gig bag w/ you, and tell them that you are playing tonight and wont be drinking.
