Anyone have/know of any bands doing "chip music" or music with old computers/video games? I'm talking real bands using GB's and such as actual instruments. This really interests me.

 

I grew up with Nintendo and Atari being a big part of my early childhood. I don't know if it helped me any, but anyway.. some of the music I'm hearing is pretty good.

 

I found a few links to get people who might be interested a start:

Wired article: 8bit Punk

Another article

yet another article

my friend told me about this 'band' of 4 germans

who wrote some kind of music software for the

gameboy advance and they've actually gone on tour.

 

the 4 gameboys are linked together and they 'play' a live 'show'.

 

I'll try to find a link

Fantastic idea for a thread! I read that wired article a couple months back, and was really interested in it. However, I ended up being a lazy-ass and never checking it out. I'd really like to learn of some specific bands, especially if you have them on your slsk.

there's a band from California called Estradasphere that throws in little remixes of nintendo game tunes with the rest of their songs. not played on gameboys or nintendo or anything, but it's game music remixed and changed a little. awesome band.

Most all gameboy, and c64 music is made on a tracker. Learning how to use trackers is a difficult thing that I am not real knowledgable on. They are still neat because of the way they make music, not like fruity loops or really anything used today.

i can't say i'm aware of anything that's made exclusively

with a gameboy/nintendo, but bogdan raczynski is pretty

nintendo style speed breaks.

the dot matrix one would be doper

if they didn't filter in the amen break and

it was strictly printer funk(tions).
