Henry Homesweet is a British Chiptune artist who currently uses Nanoloop on two Gameboy Advances. I saw him DESTROY EVERYTHING at this years BlipFestival, including ending his set by pouring FourLoko on his head and tearing the cart out of his gameboy. If this was twitter the only suitable tag would be #badass
You can listen to more Henry Homesweet and Bleepstreet Records on their respective Soundcloud pages, add Henry on MySpace and Facebook to support this radical dude. His website is a trip, and worth checking out if you’re into old hardware induced insanity, babes, and ball-pits [ I mean, who isn’t? ]
Just released a new remix I’ve been working on for the past few days. An 8-bit re-imagined version of “Something About Us” from Daft Punk’s album “Discovery,” possibly one of my favorite electronic albums of all time. Something about the way Daft Punk incorporated vocals into this album really stuck with me, and when a friend of mine did a hip-hop remix of this tune I knew I had to follow suit, taking it in a different direction.
I slowed the track down from the original, and utalized a very fun plug-in called The Magical 8-bit PlugIn, engineered by Japanese band YMCK. It’s simple controls allowed me to explore the most basic of the chiptune sounds (square, triangle, pulse and noise waves) while giving me freedom to focus on the mix and arrangement of the piece.
The total song is 16 tracks, 8 Chiptune tracks, 6 Sample tracks (for drums and vocals) and 2 sends for compression (to thicken the drums) and delay. I used Waves L1 and The Glue to master. A simpler mastering chain than I normally use, because I was going for a more authentic chiptune sound. Those true chip enthusiasts out there would criticize that this isn’t a “Chiptune” because this mix could never have come out of a single sound chip. But if you know me, I’m a production junkie. Screw the rules, man, I’m making music!
The track is also available from Bandcamp, for those who wish to support or just download it in a high quality format. The FLAC version sounds awesome (if I do say so myself :) You can also follow Dj CUTMAN on Facebook, Twitter, and Soundcloud.
As always, it’s provided as a FREE DOWNLOAD from Soundcloud.
