  1. It's Gameboy's birthday apparently.
    I didn't have a GB back in the day. Borrowed one and played a little Tetris, but: a) I couldn't afford one, b) I wasn't impressed.😄

    BUT sometime around 2005 I discovered the new wave of #chipmusic, which seems to have sprung up from the invention of #LSDJ (but don't quote me on that), and was hooked on artists such as Bit Shifter and Animal Style (later nmlstyl).

    So here's some personal favourites:

  4. Lovely instrument! Gameboy. This time running an LSDJ tracker in a non-emulator context. Love the crunchy rough sounds in the making enjoying how the commands and values generate fun results.

    Just 4 channels: 2 pulse waves, 1 wave and a noise channel. Simple, portable in look but it has much inside going beyond nostalgia.

    It gave me so much perspective, including smoothening my introduction to Renoise back in the day when I wanted to explore it as I just love learning and playing with a wide range of tools when I can, not just for teaching.

    Great to revisit after writing so much about it in thesis context years ago.

    And I would suggest you follow @defensem3ch’s work for some of the best chiptunes and learning!

  9. Figure 0C: Someone who is obsessed with the Retrig command in LSDJ’s noise channel. I am not sure if that’s what the mighty @defensem3ch meant with “the joys of noise” hehe

  14. Busy times… And then I went onto running the 2nd leg of a session on chip music, trackers, and demoscene. Today it was on OctaMED Amiga tracker and Akai sampler. Courtesy of Bizzy B/Brain Records an Equinox/Scientific Wax— underrepresented demoscene figures—haven’t seen them mentioned in journals… it was an attempt to take part in the efforts to give them recognition in my very own way

    On another note I have not been very up to date with my lsdj and renoise jams, I am using other tools more actively, even after writing so much about them back in 2019 but I hope to present some of my 4-bit setup here. Or I may not. Who knows… I wonder if there are people who use these things in fediverse, in any style of music. I know some and I would be keen to find out more.
