lazygecko Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7458479.stm In this BBC article the earliest known instance of music being programmed directly on a computer can be traced back to 1951. Pretty significant seeing as it predates even most types of electronic music. Quote
OverCoat Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I'll see if I can get eKid to write a .xm loader for it Quote
The Damned Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Was it techno like every other chiptune? Kidding, kidding... we all know chiptunes aren't real music like techno. Quote
Jaybell Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 58 years of getting rejected from OCR, amirite?!?! Also this made me lol because I wasn't expecting that swing type song to come on at the end. Quote
TheSnowStorm Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Man, and here I thought chiptunes were a 80s thing. That's pretty amazing. "God Save the Queen"- Wrost chiptune remix ever. God, that was horrible. Quote
Sinewav Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I'm glad they didn't trash it just because it sounded like crap. Remember this next time you make something you think is innovative, but just not "good enough" to make the cut. Quote
