Isn't the word "chipbusking" a bit excessive? It reminds me of "It's a good thing I brought my empty alphabet soup batcontainer" and "Wow, this weighs a Mega-ton!".

Do people say "ukubusking" or "guitbusking" or "saxbusking"? It just seems so odd.

I just kind of started saying it and we started using the term to differentiate between busking with guitars and with Game Boys. Whatever.

"Yes."

Plant some crack on the scene, boys.

The general public will probably always assume that you're just pressing play no matter what you do. Even if you play guitar and run around, people are going to ask stuff like "so what video games do you get your samples from?"

I almost feel like giving a preamble speech before I play about what LSDJ is and how I make music, but that'd be kind of silly.


Necrothread whatever, it's a perennial chipmusic issue

A lot of contained energy and otherwise pent up stress comes out when I play live, for sure. I'm never able to comfortably talk to people, and that's something that doesn't go away even when I'm playing and people are cheering, so I just awkwardly fumble through stage banter the same way I do with conversations "in real life".

Thank you for taking my question seriously. Outside of the lsdj fanbase there is this stigma that lsdj artists who perform live "pretend" that pressing start and spazzing out = performing a piece of music, basically micro-skrillex with a gameboy, and I've just been thinking about that lately. I know it is not necessarily true, and I've read this thread so I've seen the ideas of what goes into a good live performance. I just wanted to see people's thoughts on the question. Thank you.

Personally, I actually would enjoy the experience of listening to stuff in a live setting with the group experience and big speakers. You can't always get that, so, even if the artist just presses play and twiddles some knobs on a mixer, I'd be perfectly fine. It's like a listening party of sorts.

I posted about this like...3 pages ago.

This thread's started to just sound like people getting butthurt because they like having people come out to see them jump up and down and do nothing while music plays. "Complicating the presentation of the music" ≠ "I want to present this song to people by using my own efforts and spur of the moment creativity in conjunction with previous ideas I laid out".

I wrote this acoustic song. I'm gonna play it now.
Just give us the sheet music and go home.

I got started with Famitracker. It has a learning curve like a cliff at first, but tutorials on the internet explain literally any problems you are having. Learning chiptune is more difficult than an average instrument, so it'll take a bit to figure it out.

I have friends who haven't picked up an instrument in their lives yet took to writing chiptune within about a week and a half.
