danimal cannon Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Turned out pretty good. Just a couple minor gaffes, sentences that start awkwardly, "Atari Amiga", but otherwise came out nicely. I really only speak from anecdotal experience so your mileage with chipmusic may vary. Hopefully it might make you think about your craft in a different light. My goals were: a) fawn over all the amazing things I witness in the chipmusic scene create an easily digestible primer for the uninitiated c) accurately convey how making this sort of music is diametrically opposed to most modern music, and why that can be a great thing.

Katajun Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 I would never be able to get up and talk to a bunch of people like that. Play music, sure, but give a lecture? I'll pass. Enjoyed it though, really can help to open people's eyes to this new movement. Quote

I wouldn't consider presentations and public speaking to be a particular talent of mine, but I overcame that with a lot of preparation and practice. Almost lost my voice a couple time just practicing all night long. Quote
Damashii!! Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 wow, HUGE props, man! great work, and congrats on the stellar opportunity. already going into my list of favorite TEDtalks. Quote
Phonetic Hero Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Nailed it man, I'm glad you had the opportunity to give this presentation Seemed like a horribly dry audience though... I would've AT LEAST chuckled at a lot of times, but it seems like a lot of people just gave you this look instead Edited November 16, 2013 by Phonetic Hero Quote
Red Shadow Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 i particularly like the assertion that learning to make chiptunes made you a better guitarist i decided to write a presentation about chiptunes for a speech class i took back in '07, and i believe that the basic understanding i have about music theory happens to be largely a component of the research i did for that speech Quote
Gario Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 That lecture was exactly what it needed to be - clear, concise and interesting. Very nice work on the Chiptune pimpage at TED, Danimal Cannon. Quote
