  1. Hey, guys. I put out a new six-track EP, all covers, with my boy Suzums.

    Here are six new covers commissioned during the Kickstarter we ran over the summer. Awesome.

    Free Download. Click the image to download.

    Track list:

    1. Skyway (originally by Apples in Stereo)

    2. The Distance (originally by Cake)

    3. Duvet (originally by Boa)

    4. Juese Belmont (originally by Disk Mastah Smokabitch)*

    5. Silent Running (originally by Mike and the Mechanics)

    6. Leave Out All the Rest (originally by Linkin Park)

    *featuring Z of Hipsterplease.com

    Silent Running, The Distance, and Juese are written for real NES hardware. Leave Out All the Rest utilizes an SPC source with samples from Chrono Trigger. Duvet and Skyway are fake chip, but still very nice if you ask me. Everything also has vox and guitars.

  3. Hmm, nobody has complained yet, I was on yesterday just fine along with everybody in IRC. Any body else having issues?

    I better not have this huge arm on the map again Shael >_<

    Edit:

    SHAEL: the backup of our world has doubled. Im going to render the map, and if i see a super huge long arm, its getting deleted. You may not have read this thread where Abadoss did the same thing, but we really dont want super long arms causing huge render images, its not fun for me trying to render, its not fun for anybody trying to look at the map

    I think im going to make a rule sheet so people know NOT to walk for infinate miles

    I didn't know that would cause a problem. Sorry. I'd like to see a copy of the map with the arm I created, though, if you have one.

  5. Hey, OCR!

    What is up, my homepeople?

    I mostly do original music now, but I am proud to have cut my teeth on the VGM scene. I love this website; I love you people; I love what you do, and I am proud, whenever an indie rock blogger or nerd music podcaster asks me about my music background, to say I spent my formative years with Overclocked Remix.

    There's almost no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be making the kind of music I'm making today--pop rock instrumentation with added NES chiptunes--were it not for the kind of thoughtful and passionate but also critical--and I mean it literally; rooted in the word "crticism"--appreciation for old video game music that OCR fostered in me. Thereby, I've always felt like I have a special home here, like it's the source of my secret power when people with a different music background ask "how did you learn to do that?"

    Not that I'm King Music Guy. That is not what I'm saying. Jake Kaufman I am not! Still, I learned amazing things here and have since been able to pass on some of what I learned to musicians from other communities, or no community at all. I've been fortunate in that people have sought me out, knowing my music.

    Most recently, me and fellow OCR veteran Ty "Suzumebachi" Guenley have prepared a new album of vocal chip-rock, consisting of ten new songs and six from our 2009 EP. It's all recorded, but we're seeking funding for professional engineering and mastering; we want to really make it sound as good as it can. So, we started this Kickstarter:

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shaelriley/ultimate-songs-from-the-pit-the-new-album-by-shael

    If you're interested in what I've been up to, check it out! It's got a link to our 2009 EP, which you can listen to for free. And, if you like the EP, you can pledge $10 to get a digital download of our full-length album once it's mastered. Or you can pledge $35 to get a limited-run, three-disc version with alternate and acoustic versions of every track, and some other bonus material. There are other rewards for pledging too. Check it out!

    It would be really helpful, too, if you could spread the word about our Kickstarter to anyone you think might be interested in chiptune pop-rock. If you have a Facebook, blog, Twitter or Podcast, you'd be doing me and Ty a great favor by helping to promote awareness of our new album and its need for funding.

    Thanks a bunch for reading this whole mess.

    I love all of ya'll.
