good advices in this thread "don't get famous" (dont get caught!!) & "don't make money from it". given that plenty of people get away with uploading albums in full to youtube you will prbably be alright withsome sampling but if you try to sell it that's risky

the music section isnt very active i think most people are here for the forums but welcome to chip music.org

i think that backwards its the same thing. like looking at some visual art reflected L/R. not much is lost

in the music it can be disconcerting if you use a lot of volume envelopes but otherwise its just a reflection of the original. every atemporal element of the song is identical and some things temporal don't change much either. 4/4 is still 4/4, interval movements are the same but opposite direction, tempo doesn't change.

the song will lose a lot of your intentions depending on how you wrote it - tensions come after resolutions and so on.

if you think of your song in a more abstract organisation of information than just (a sequence of bytes) nothing actually changed apart from the piece of information which says "listen to this forwards". which likely you didn't even encode into your song, everyone just assumed that forwards would be the best direction to listen

so i think that's why it still sounds good backwards. depending on the software you use you may be able to reverse the notes without reversing the sounds - which can be really cool

in the coming months a comet will be coming fairly close to earth and hopefully will be a "great comet" ~ a bright comet visible with the naked eye

i was thinking maybe we could put together a tribute album for the comet. it doesn't have to be done in time for the comet's arrival since the comet is not going to listen to it, i thought it'd be better if we used our feelings before, during and after the comet's visit as inspiration for the music, so maybe a release date of early-mid 2014 would be appropriate

i see no real reason why it should be limited to chiptunes so if you have other projects feel free to contribute. i may or may not cherry-pick the entries depending on mine & your feelings about that and on the number of entries (probably there won't be much interest so i'll probably not cherry pick)

what do you guys n girls think? comet album good idea or bad idea? & also what do you think about the comet itself! how do you think it will affect your music?
