Re: Article on Chip Music (30 replies, posted in General Discussion)
YMO were influential to game soundtracks because of their fun pop-but-light-jazzish style which has been recreated countless times by JRPG soundtrackers. but lol if more than 4% of the touring gameboy riders can make anything that sounds remotely like Rydeen ever

Re: Which of your EP's/Albums did you enjoy making the most? (38 replies, posted in Releases)
Fell Plot... it was the first time i'd messed with NES expansion chips so I was learning as I created. also because I was operating under the RPM "album in a month" Challenge rules a lot of desperation song ideas presented themselves as if from nowhere - the title track was written in ONE DAY and it's ten minutes long.

aanaaanaaanaaana.net is exciting
NSFs can be opened in a bunch of different stuff, I use VirtuaNSF but maybe you can't if you're not using windows
so Visit and Download and Listen and retain some of the data in my songs and in ant1's songs and in our silly demos

Re: snesei: How do you guys come up with melodies and bass lines? (20 replies, posted in General Discussion)
well i make sure not to touch the tracker until i've worked something out on keyboard. this doesn't always mean starting with a chord progression either, so much as looking for weird rhythmic clashes and quirks, or anything which slightly defies expectation. and after a certain amount of experience hunting for song ideas you'll start to gravitate naturally to comfortable ones, which is definitely a bad development, and you should try to resist doing your old stuff again.
my melodies still suck but you can't have everything
one way to find new stuff while jamming on an instrument is to do it while you're tired, because you'll mess up and miss chords and find stuff that might be new ground for you. i guess most people would have written "drugs" here

Re: How long have you spent on a release? (69 replies, posted in General Discussion)
love zzzv took ages and i hate it
fell plot took a month and i love it
n0de claw took two weeks and i really love it
moke moke took ages and ended up as an EP-length thing instead of the full length i imagined and i am already sick of it
maybe i'm saying don't overcook the ideas in your songs
