Night Animals is an album that was 3 years in the making. It is what we set out to do as BRIGHT PRIMATE, and we couldn't be happier to be finally sharing it with you, our friends and fans and internet associates. Its been an effort of love and we believe that it represents another small step forward in the evolution of chip music from a basement hobbyists pursuit to what we all know it can become.

There are so many people that have helped us shape this album, so many people who have inspired us or listened to rough mixes late at night or assisted us with their expertise in one way or another, and we would like to acknowledge some invaluable specifics: Carl AKA Radlib AKA Oxygenstar et al. for general solidness of character and always moving forward; Misfit Chris for many 5am chat sessions and lending me his ears on more than one occasion; Smiletron David for being a constant mellow optimist in the wee hours of the night; Disasterpeace Rich for setting the bar pretty high; Dan of the J. Arthur Keenes Band for showing us all just how great a vocal chiptune album can be. Boston8Bit, Toy Company, Bitmasters, 8Static, I/O, Chipwin, REboot, PAX and Magfest peeps; you know who you are. Nerd Rock Radio and Seaking's Seaglass too. Probably most of all though, thanks to you for listening to this record, whoever you are, because music is just two animals communicating in the night.

THX D0000DZ!!!

okay, so im trying to gauge interest in the production Q&A... i think it might be more clear after listening to the album why i think people would want to ask stuff, but the basic gist is something like "how to make chiptune sound HUGE using modern production techniques"

this something you might want to get info on?

James, I want to know how to make my chiptunes sound huge, so count me among the interested!

No. Never. Chiptunes are supposed to be bite-sized. I should be able to fit at least 20 into an 8 ounce bag.

No, but seriously, it would be cool to learn how to roll out some massive tortillas. I'm definitely into it.

are there any specific mixing/production topics that people want to talk about?

You could go over your process for a more visual representation of what many threads have covered here? Or...um...I dunno...I guess just your process in general would be interesting to see/hear about. Meh, anything about mixing/production would be cool. smile
