The Seattle Symphony did the PLAY! show in Seattle and it was incredibly meh, except for a few parts. It's sad, because the Seattle Symphony Orchestra usually rules - it's probably just because they were unfamiliar with the source and undoubtedly didn't have enough time to practice. I've also never seen them use a fake electric guitar on a Korg Triton. Unbelievably horrid. Also, the arrangements sucked, whoever did them needs to go back to their old day job. With the exception of a few japanese games [pretty much anything by Michiru Yamane, Yuzo Koshiro, or Fumito Tamayama], my favourite game music is from America or Europe [Tim Follin, Jeroen Tel, Rob Hubbard, Chris Huelsbeck, etc], even though the ratio of good to bad is way higher. So, I don't really know why Japanese videogame music is more popular than American or European soundtracks, except that the Japanese are the fucking masters of merch. If it's good enough they'll sell the OST for even more cash. You can also get model kids, wallscrolls, posters, windows apps, body pillows, mousepads with a game character's tits on them, etc.

You mean you wish Protricity would've left the old site alone am i rite I liked the VGMix 2.5 forums better, really :[ it's a shame - the entire staff is far too busy to complete VGMix at all, they're all doing way more interesting things with their time. We still have here, at least... or theshizz

I think most people, or anyone not on OCR wants to keep it close to the source material - actually that's the main offense to people against this site, is because we take the source and fuck with it too much - I think a higher number of people would rather just hear good covers than OC Remixes. I don't know if I'd pay for this though :V I'd rather buy THIS instead, because Hunz fucking rules.

HI I hope you like my remixes :3 also: check out a free ambient netlabel called ansiform. I recommend "Sleepy Eyes" "Artroom" and "Memories EP"

I'd upgrade but the last time I upgraded my ATi drivers I had to roll back because somehow the support for 1360x768 disappeared in their fucking catalyst thing.ehhhhhh I'll try again edit: hey they fixed it :3

Hey, one quick question When I try to run Emulator X, it says I need to "unload my debugger" before starting the program. What the fuck does that mean? I'm not running any debuggers.

did you guys like my casio :3

heavens, no. You have to teach yourself what a pulse table is, what a wavetable is... and how to cut off sections of them. Took me a while to wrap my head around this. On top of that the interface is shit, though it's the best you're going to get for .sid on windows, and unfortunately is probably better than most C64 options. I talked to Jeroen Tel (WAVE) about how he managed to make music on the C64, and he told me he just coded the song from scratch. Probably C64 BASIC or something. iirc zabutom and hoffmann(randall) use or have used goattracker [you'll see them in the HVSC] You can PROBABLY find a used gameboy fairly inexpensive, like 10 bucks at the most, I hope. I'm not sure of the cost of the flash cart and LSDJ though. Also, C64s, depending on how complete they are, can be anywhere from $20 to $100. C64s are totally worth it, and there's some kickass games available for it as well as any music apps you may find. Also, lookie here

For Gameboy you'll def. need a... well, a gameboy, plus a flash cart to put LSDJ on. I'll help you with the "figuring out how to use a tracker" part somewhat but I don't know enough of LSDJ's interface since I've only used it once or twice. For .sid making there's GoatTracker if you can find it, or you can make music on an actual C64, which has a lot more options. The DVD will be available for this documentary, I believe. It's just a promo thing that pitchfork is doing. http://2playerproductions.com/video/rftp/ is the site. It's getting played on screens, actually! But I don't know if a DVD will be available. Probably will - NOT releasing a DVD of your movie nowadays would be illogical

Happy birthday starky

SHOCK TO THE SISTEMMMMMM

how many necrobumps can a thread have? let's find out! I was blogg'd: http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/cyberpunk-music/overcoat-the-cyberpunk-adventure-ep/ I love when random people find my music

I think listening to movie soundtracks is weird Maybe because most hollywood soundtracks are just generic orchestral ambient garbage. Very few movie soundtracks are memorable to me.

http://www.pitchfork.tv/week/reformat-the-planet/chapter-01 This documentary will be available for a little less than a week so watch it now before it is not :3 This movie is very interesting if you want to know about chiptunes and the whole chip scene in New York, though this video does not completely represent chiptunes, in my opinion. More people need to understand that it goes way deeper than this, there's people who have been making chiptunes on the Atari ST/Amiga/PC/whatever for almost 20 years now, before the advent of LSDJ, hardware mods, midiNES, or anything like that, though it outlines the whole fascination with circuit bending, hardware mods, bleeps and bloops, and the similarities with the punk scene from the 70s/80s, so it's a good start for those who haven't considered listening to chip music or anything like that before.

... Also, don't some phones have line outs on them?

That's funny, I chat on #renoise with an Estonian guy who uses an Eee

The Fifteenth Garden. Picking up where I left off, I think. It's much like the rest of Garden Art, organic-sounding synths with some idm chillout thrown in.

Metroid Fusion was okay but getting chased by X sucked. At least it sort of brought back the Omega Metroid [more metroid games need the Metroid 2 mutations]

Renoise is the best tracker for Linux. It'll run you about $70, which is a bad price for a tracker [which is usually free] but amazingly cheap when compared to the average DAW which has more or less the same functionality. And Renoise is really fun to use, especially if you're a FT2 vet.

I assume you just contact djpretzel. actually wait, it's a wiki thingie now? I see an account sign up, but my forum account isn't linked to it, I think you need to make a new account and then add the link yourself. add a link for Anime Remix while you're at it :V

this is what the third garden looks like

Given up on DNF? Are you shitting me? Every day I live without Duke is pure agony.

I think it's pretty cool. I like the melody and the drums. Sounds like the fairies from Zelda are having a rave in a cave

Holy wow, this seemed like it was a ton of work - good job on staying dedicated to something like this for that long especially by yourself. I wish more "remix projects" were like this... Edit: hey! thanks for the anime remix link >:3
