Guest j Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 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 http://gorehole.org/mp3death/ Another article yet another article some more info asdfjawjexxxx Add your own. Somewhat related, and cool: http://www.gamebombing.com/ http://www.atariage.com/features/shows/age2003/images/Cynthcart_1_thumb.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPiTA Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 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.

Dirty_habiT Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 There's always good ol' "maktone" and "purple motion" both famous "intro music" programmers for hacked/ripped gb games.... you can download complete chip disks by them.... although I forget where. I'm sure if you've looked into the subject much you know of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vektrone Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 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.

Mr. Peanut Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 wow i had no idea anything like this at all existed. probably the coolest thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh0wnz Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BROWNer Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BROWNer Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 ps-that key tune is pretty good. the dot matrix one would be doper if they didn't filter in the amen break and it was strictly printer funk(tions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
