Same here, and let me just say the wife isn't that supportive since we've married. So I go to school, get out and go to work, then go home to the wife and do homework. However, I wake up at 5am in the morning and "silently" poor myself a cup of ambition to work on my craft until she wakes up around 10. It's brutal but so far it's the only way I can, without starting a fight. When I ask her to hear something new I've been working on, she usually responds with," How long is it"?
I feel your pain sir.
He might very well be, Yuma however is in an isolated corner between a border, and hard place. It would be killer to go up to phoenix or tuscon to do a show. But it seems like I have not find an audience that has positively responded to my sounds. I either hear its too downtempo/ambiant for a club, or too hyphy/industrial and is not mellow enough for an audience to tolerate; so I've steadily been losing confidence to promote myself, especially out of town. I wouldn't know the first place to start, or where I should even begin looking. Last I knew phoenix had (somewhat of) a chiptune artist that I knew by the name of Milk:Blood. I met him when I was 14 back in 04'; when I brought up chiptune he had no idea what I was talking about. I told him his menacing tunes reminded me of columns meets beethoven to which he responded," I'll show you my column! But seriously I don't know what your talking about". All of his music was mainly composed through a pc and a few synths with a handful of midi-plug ins. It sounded like hardcore GG or SMS built instrumentation, it was the first 8bit-esque music I heard before I even discovered it, which then lead me to discover Bit-Shifter, Nullsleep, Random.SE, Sabrepulse and all those other pioneers. I might try to do something soon; a venue just opened promoting local talent but I'm not quite sure how to approach them with my style/genre.
horrid....HORRID! I think there's like what; four of us all together? It use to be five but the other one moved away. Random came to town not too long ago from SD for shit's and giggles I guess but it was a one time gig. Out of the four of us remaining (that are currently known) two are heavily underground; me and this other guy who I know by name, not by handle. And two brothers who are separate acts: 10SPD, and Ianflux. Shit sucks man...I'm dying to do a show; things continue this way I may go bananas and do a flash mob. Either that or wait till I move back to Cali, but waiting for that would be a sinking ship of my ambitions.
oh shit man, I'm ambient as hell. just to throw that in there; barely read that. Best place to reach me would be here initially if your interested, and then we'll take it from there.
Tell me what sound your looking for and I'd be happy to either make something, or show you stuff I already have to give you an idea of what I'm capable of; there's ample more than what I have on here. No compensation required, just recognition where fit (@ the end in other words haha). I'm more than happy doing pro-bono but I understand if you have better offers from a generous amount of other artists that already have the sounds your seeking.

I'm a slowbro in chip and at heart. If I could compose over 100bpm I would try it, but I can't, there's a mental road block there. Standard for me is anywhere from 30bpm to 90bpm though I do have one and only one song at 120bpm.hahaha
Wow, who knew nerds were capable of managing their time wisely? However, the ability to delve into something deeper beyond pixels, collectables, sexbox, and bitches is completely optional. I'm something in between. I'm 22, married. Have my own place, cat, plastic gold (old cartridge systems).And I'm studying in music for a bachelors in visual media, and composition. That way I can pursue my dream while making a living (or at least trying to anyway). Yet for some reason, I can't seem to escape chiptuning. It's consuming me0_o Then again it's the first hobby I've had where I feel like I'm gaining more from simply enjoying myself rather than the skill I possess over others or the medium. Although skill would be nice, it'll be rewarded in due time by my efforts and hard work. In the mean time I can't wait to learn more, and I always look forward to hearing the new sounds others' make that move my soul. Douche bag nags or nerds with heart, your all winners' in my book, that is if you've got the rhythm.
