Chiptune funk fusion at its finest, Joshua Morse brings us Waveform 3, an album that defies my ability to put it into words.
A distinct chiptune atmosphere surrounds each neatly arranged and thoughtfully instrumented piece. I particularly love Joshua’s use of delay, taking traditional chiptune sounds and adding a depth and and breadth that wouldn’t have been possible through old hardware alone. A unique album most certainly worth a listen, and definintly worth a download at name-your-own-price.
ALRIGHTY THEN. Time to drop a knowledge bomb on you regarding the Chiptunes = WIN \m|♥|m/compilation as hard as I can! =D
First, if you haven’t watched the promo video yet, DO THAT NOW:
To reiterate what was stated in that awesomely ridiculous video, the 51 track Chiptunes MEGA compilation releases on June 5th at midnight via Bandcamp immediately following the 8 Bit Power Hour listening party starting at 8pm Eastern time on Areciboradio. A link to the Facebook event page for that can be found right here.
In the meantime, stay tuned on Mondays to Geekbeat LeRadio on Unregular Radio, & Nerd Rock Radio with Samuel Mulligan on WMFO Medford 91.5 FM for project news and teaser tracks from the upcoming compilation! Will hear different tracks on both programs on every show leading up to the release date!
Also, for more information and Chiptuney goodness feel free to check out the Chiptunes = WIN \m|♥|m/ Facebook page, the 8bitx blog page, and, of course, the 450+ member strong Facebook group that started it all! =D
And did I mention yet that Dj Cutman is mastering the entire project?EXACTLY. 8)
So hold on to your butts, because in only two weeks!!!!! teh Chiptune craziness is ON LIKE A NECKBONE!!
Champions of Chip. There’s more than a good handful of us out there, promoting Chipmusic with every fiber of our being. Because we love it. Because it’s fun. Because it gets us free beer at shows. (WUT?? That’s just as legit a reason!!! ;3 ). This Friday Freakout is dedicated to one of the most, well… dedicated of us that I’m aware of:
This crazy, awesome woman attacks Chipshows armed with nothing but her iPhone, working her way to the front of the stage, throwing elbows, dragon punches, flaming ninja stars, WUTTEHFUKEVAR IT TAKES to get in place to document the entire show in video. And then afterward she uploads them by sets/gigs/artists to her Youtube account for all of the chipworld to see in 720p (that rhymed! heheh ;3 ). She’s more or less providing awesome live video coverage of a substantial portion of the East coast chip scene, which is something that nobody else is doing (one of her very reasons for doing it actually).
Did I mention yet that THE WOMAN IS AWESOME!?!?!
Also, her latest spin on the project is what she’s calling an “Evolution” series. Basically, she’s taking a handful of Chipartists and chronicling their journies (via her live footage) from where she first encountered them to their gigs at Blipfest 2012 this Memorial Day weekend. Currently she has that happening for Chipocrite, Kris Keyser, and Danimal Cannon, but I believe she has plans to do that for a few more before Blipfest rolls around. In other words, STAY TUNED, FOTHERMUCKERS!! ;D Seriously, if you’re a chipfan and haven’t checked out her project by now, this is a great time to do it! =D
And this is the part where I’m just gonna flat out say THANKS A MEGACRAPTON, EM!! There’s more than a few of us out there who LOVE chipmusic but don’t have access to many live shows (due to location, being broke, a combination of the two, etc). And you do a damn good job of bringing some of that to us. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, YA CRAZY BROAD!! ;D We <3 you very much for it!
ALRIGHTY THEN. So you may’ve noticed references to my Fb group Chiptunes = WIN \m|♥|m/ here and there in mah posts on videogamedj.com (I’m a shameless plug whore, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT! ;3 Also, if you haven’t made it by yet, CLICK THE DAMN LINKY LINK ALREADY!! :P ). You also may’ve noticed references to the Chip compilation that I’m releasing via said group. Well, LEMME DROP ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE ON YOU RIGHT NOW:
In other words, yeah, this is the cover art for the compilation. And yes, that’s all you get this post.
IT’S CALLED A TEASER FOR A REASON!! DON’T BE SO GREEDY, YA PECKERWRINKLE!! GEEZ!!
ALRIGHT. FINE. BE A GREEDY PECKERWRINKLE!! Art and the knowledge that there’s 50+ tracks on this bad boy (51 tracks to be exact ;). 51 AMAZING chiptracks of a mix of both well known & loved artists and some spectacular up and comers.
In other words, 51 TRACKS OF AWESOMETASTIC CHIP BADASSERY LOVEBEERSEX FTW BOOYAH!! 8)
Yes, I’m a madman. Yes, you may/will/have no choice but to love me for it. DON’T WORRY. I CAN HANDLE IT.
