I really would love to see chiptune artists break into electronic musical festivals.  I don't see why that wouldn't be a good thing and/or work mixed in with regular electronic musicians.

This has happened many times already, for years.

this might be happening in Europe but I don't see it in the great USA.

I think the problem I'm experiencing currently, which is not specific to chipmusic but effects us all, is this: currently there are two types of musicians that show promoters are aware of:

1. live musicians - this necessitates either some type of instrument that is performed on or singing
2. DJs - this is strictly someone spinning music they didn't make

What most promoters are not aware of, is that one can make and perform electronic music in a live setting without DJing. Even live improvisation (like guys playing with MPCs) is still relatively unknown to most promoters.

Basically what I'm saying is that if you tell the average show promoter that you are an electronic musician but *not* a DJ, they will give you a puzzled expression. They don't know there is such a thing.

So what I've typically seen is that the only shows that are open to chipmusicians are usually just the chipmusic specific ones or ones that are dedicated to electronic improv / DIY type stuff. Or you can get on a bill that is specifically for electronic music if you definitely play dance music and you definitely don't have gaps between your songs.

*Or* if you do have vocals then you are fine, you fall into the first category.

So I think we still have a task, a barrier to overcome, at least in the states: informing people that you can actually produce and perform original electronic music, live, without instruments or singing, and that it does not make you a DJ, you are actually an electronic musician and that is a thing and it can totally be entertaining and worthwhile in a live setting.

Just my $0.02.

i don't see what we need 62 netlabels for

there's probably not even that many chip artists out there

the majority of these netlabels feature music from chip artists that have since quit.

an un-modded DMG can't run LSDJ)

Pretty sure this is not right, from what I've read here.

yeah this is incorrect (FUD is rampant with LSDJ and DMGs). An un-modded DMG can run LSDJ just fine, it just has noise present on the stereo signal, which a prosound mod can eliminate. It's not the only way to do it, though. You can post-process the stereo signal with hardware (like a pissbox) or software (like Audacity).

In case you didn't know, Audacity is a free program. If you have a computer with a line-in (which I assume is how you recorded this music), then you can run Audacity on it. You can use Audacity to open the WAVs of your recordings, and use the built in "Noise Removal" effect to eliminate this noise hum. Just look up a tutorial or something for it, it's very easy to use once you know how.

Hope that helps.

BIOS games like this are a great way to test the performance of the system without needing a cartridge.

just to be clear, I am playing a DJ set, not really "performing," you all know I would much rather play other people's music.

So there's that.

your music is pretty cool but your recordings are extremely noisy, that high pitched gameboy hum is on all the tracks. you should at least try using noise reduction in Audacity.
