I understand.  I'm just gauging interest now.  if I get enough I'm going to talk to the organizers and see what we can do, if anything.

If you haven't heard of the Occupy Wall St movement and it's subsequent protest around the country, specifically the one in Seattle, go to http://occupywallst.org/ and http://occupyseattle.org/ for info.  You can also look online and make your own decisions towards it.

I will go so far to say that I support it, but that's not what this thread is about.

I do think these guys are doing an awesome job standing up for what they believe in, and I know that after being out in the cold and rain, and getting their protection from the elements taken away from them, they will probably need some things to keep their spirits up.

I was thinking of sometime next week heading down there and do a little "busking"/putting on a free show for them.  Would anyone else be interested in this?

Nothing is confirmed, as a matter of fact I still need to talk to the organizers about it, but wanted to see if anyone else would be willing to join me.

The sophmore album of chiprocker Jonny Nero Action Hero chronicles his major life change in  the last year.  More focused on the chip aspect than "Experimutations," Jonny wanted to solidify the foundation of his sound.  Because if your foundation isn't solid, nothing built on top of it would ever hope to be.

Track list
1. Epic Radio
2. V-Gaert
3. Geobella
4. Monetana
5. D-Day Eve
6. The Ballad of Sheep
7. Stillwig

Dude, you're playing Sunset?  I might make it out there, since you will probably be cheaper than Ana, and I've seen them like 6 times before

Not a full 8-bit show, but some pretty kick ass artists.  Extra Life, the 24 hour gaming marathon charity I work with will also be there, and half of whatever I make that night will be going to them

Keep in mind, it does not have to be a straight cover.  Creativity is absolutely encouraged and a big focus is going to be on the creativity of the arrangement, moreso than accuracy.

Great!  Because I just tried to pick out some of the notes on the track...and realized why I'm not a metal musician tongue

Hmmm....I'm not sure if I'll have anything by a deadline, but i've always tossed an idea in my head of what a guitar version of "Hey Kate" from Sabrepulse would sound like.  This might make me get off my butt and find out for sure. 

Due to speed constraints on my fingers, it's not going to be a perfect refelection, but it will definitely be recognizable

Guitar, Bass, Keys, Trombone, Violin, Drums, Harmonica for me.


My first album in the chiptune style.  Entitled "Experimutations," it describes the creation of the songs in the album.  Each song started as an experimentation in something; be it guitar sounds, new techniques on the gameboy, or just general cocking about.  Each experiment then mutated into the songs you hear on this album

You can download it here for free.  If you really want to give me your money, a name-your-own-price option is available, if you so choose.
