I think they like to act like they played there pokemon and are making music out of nostalgia, me, im the opposite.
I /did/ play Pokemon on mine, but since day one of chipmusic-ing, I've done everything in my power to entirely segregate my music from "omg i rembr mario and pokman".

I'll bet most of you haven't heard of Mr. Gimmick.
probably the most advanced soundtrack ever made for the NES. Crazy Japan only Sunsoft game that came out super late in the NES dev cycle.
Mr. Gimmick's probably more known for its soundtrack than the game itself.
And that sweet DPCM bass.

You should play songs that only have saxophone in them.

wait who uses the DJ prefix? I can only think of DJ Cutman
edit: seems like it's used mostly to differentiate from things that already exist, cause the only other one I can think of is DJ Scotch Egg
I do love DJ Scotch Egg. DMG+bullhorn is a match made in heaven.

All of my tracks in LSDJ either have been set up to demand constant pattern triggering, set up to allow for shit-tons of changes (even alternate bridges/endings), soloing/muting, set up to add stuff in from scratch on the fly, or all of the above (and thensome). With a little planning and imaginative laying out of chains, 1xLSDJ can be super interactive for live stuff. The "oh chiptune? I think everyone just hits play and dances" thing gets old pretty fast. Plus, lsdj keyboard.

I'm also getting into chipmusic but this is a higher priority at the moment
an EMS cart is quick and cheap enough, and the cart-battery replacements are like 2 bucks.
Also, I fucking love Wario Land 3.

Re: Ever played a non-chiptune open mic? (7 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Back when Borders Books was a thing, I hit up their coffee shop's open mic nights with my DMG all the time. Some cute older girls who worked at the front were into it, which, in itself, I count as a small success.

What's is exactly the point of reading what others think chiptune is?
That's not necessarily the topic. Often, people write about what it is just for them. A friend of mine wrote some blog post a while back about how chipmusic is a powerful way for him to express himself more than he used to, etc.
