I mean, I know there's still some purely chip stuff that can hold its own, which is good. I just think that there isn't enough of it to keep chipmusic going for too much longer without help from things like unique integration of tech and tradition.
man i was really surprised by the level of quality even at the open mic, which was mostly dudes with gameboys there was also chip & vocals and also chip & flute though so i guess that's a thing! i guess i just feel like the medium has so much ground yet to cover, in terms of both composition & instrumentation. exciting times!
Fo' sho'. My band uses LSDJ as an automated synth when we do post-rockish and new-wave stuff. We use the LSDJ keyboard sometimes, too. The DMG is run through a bunch of pedals and takes over for guitar on some songs.
Lately I've felt like the only way we can keep chipmusic out of the "MYF1STLSD1XJ WIP" abyss is to keep pushing how we use the technology in conjunction with traditional music.
y'know i was thinking this (at least in regards to my own music) for like the last 3 or 4 months before i went to square sounds but then i went to square sounds :v it's not that there wasn't a lot of awesome fusion of tech and tradition there (pselodux, hunz, omodaka etc.), it's just that the stuff which was purely chip was engaging enough to stand out alongside everything else.
i think there are also a lot of people who are thinking the same as you but with the roles of technology and tradition reversed. it kinda depends on which side of tradition/tech you start from.
more chip n vocal stuff would be nice though!

Ezra Pound got into Imagism, and then it got popular among other American poets, so he stopped. Imagism didn't go away, and poets still find it difficult, relevant, and enjoyable.
Camera bag that is much, much more the size of a DMG than the tiny camera it came with. Also, it has a little pouch originally for who-the-fuck-knows and now for extra carts or a big ol' link cable.
The fact that they're impossible to keep in stock for more than a matter of days suggests that people wouldn't rather make their own.
Thanks again for mine, by the way. I don't think I ever shot you a thank-you email, so I'm doing it publicly here and also thereby promoting your products.
I have recently bought a Rasberry Pi, and was wondering whether it would be possible to run LSDJ through a emulator while using the DMG as a speaker to replicate the authentic sound?
