I've always thought C64+Sax went well together. Alot of C64 music uses sax like instruments to begin with.

Good stuff.

I like to mix it up, depending on the mood of the tune.

So if in fact chipmusic is solely a medium, would it be seemly for music distribution sites to list jazz songs composed of sampled Atari 2600 bleeps in the same section as jazz songs played with a saxophone?

In a perfect world I think it would be just fine edit: as long as they have jazz songs played with piano, guitar, vibraphone, etc, in the same section.

But jazz songs composed in a tracker isn't really jazz, because it's fully composed. Unless it was composed using live keyboard input playing recorded to the tracker.

Does chipmusic = chiptune?

Chipmusic is music made with chips. This is the closest I could find to real chip music.

I hadn't known that discussion was so inhibiting to the process of composing music.

Have you ever spent hours on a forum beating a dead horse instead of writing music? And when you're done, you're often too exhausted and mentally fatigued to even think about thinking about music. #spellinitout4u

What confuses people is that due to hardware limitations, composer often resort to stylistic tricks like arps or bass and drum on the same channel.  These things, coupled with the distinct sound of raw waveforms and noise percussion, lead people to apply the genre tag.

This is a good point.

Pretty sure this is just a lofi joke people make on youtube

I do it for real, no joke. But mostly only for the 8bit "retro" stuff, or the fakebit. Mostly.

Just sayin'...
