Late last week I completed my first chipmusic release. It’s called Virtual Reality and you can get it here. I’ve put it up as individual tracks as well as a .zip archive that contains the album art as an HTML file and a couple of images. Those of you who’ve been reading for a while [...]
This is my pick out of the tracks of the latest Beep City compilation. Nario – The Tale Of A Pirate I guess this was put together in preparation for Valentine’s day? Thankfully there are no vocals. Download the full comp, Love Songs From The Future. EDIT: Obviously there is meant to be a media [...]
As part of the multitude of voices sounding out about current affairs I’d like to weigh in on why the fuck my ad blocker isn’t working anymore. This sucks.

I have some more thoughts relating to the virtual reality business essay so I [...]
Just to clarify a point from the first essay: I do not mean to propose anything about the actual name of the VR product. “Realise” is what I believe companies will call the process of virtualisation for the reasons I have already laid out. For now instead of referring to the ubiquitous “companies” I am [...]
The message of the future is: “Realise Your Dreams.”
Everyone who comes here knows that I love chipmusic. I guess a lot of people don’t want to bother with chipmusic because it “all sounds the same to me” or whatever or maybe they don’t like the sound of the chip. Sure, those are fairly legitimate concerns. BUT if you haven’t given any chipmusic a [...]
