CHIPCHURCH SHOW AT THE GREAT DEPRESSION FT FUTURNARI, FAUXHOUND AND NEVER.
Last Saturday night at The Great Depression XXXX and XXXY hosted Futurnari’s last show in Christchurch before he skips to Melbourne. I started things off with the most down-beat performanceless charade of my life. My favourite part of my set was when I said “I had to balance how much I wanted to watch you [...]
FUTURNARI – DNA COMPUTING
Futurnari has released a Sega Megadrive (16-bit for the hip kids) EP entitled DNA Computing and it’s there <- for free. The piece (I like to pretend it’s one 9:55 song) builds in intensity and complexity, climaxing with this: If you don’t think it’s long enough try the repeat button on your media player. You’ll [...]
FUTURNARI – RETROSPECTIVE FORWARD THINKING. DIGITIZED META-CREATION MYTHOLOGY.
While I've been away sleeping on floors and sitting in the van Futurnari has been further establishing himself in the chipmusic scene. Soon after Another Unlikely Hero was picked up by Bleep City comes Retrospective Forward Thinking. This five-track EP is a synthesis of Atari 2600 and DMG music with a couple of field recordings. [...]
FUTURNARI – ANOTHER UNLIKELY HERO. NO FRUITY-LOOPS ALLOWED. TAKE YOUR VSTS AND BITCRUSHERS AND FUCK RIGHT OFF.

This DMG release is a 5-track EP in the vein of Zan-zan-zawa-veia and Alex Mauer. Download Another Unlikely Hero from Bandcamp. 8bitcollective profile/music. Chipmusic.org profile.
AROUND SEVEN MINUTES OF 40BPM DOOM MUSIC CONCERNING LOVE IS BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. ALSO, CHECK OUT MY BANGING FAVICON ON THE WEBSITE. SO SLEEK, SO CLASSY.
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 [...]
BUT IF I WAS BEING CONSCIOUS OF MY BANDWIDTH USAGE I’D JUST LISTEN TO THE TRACK
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 [...]
THANKS, BEN, FOR PUTTING THAT CRT MONITOR IN MY BED SO UPON ENTERING MY ROOM I WAS LIKE, “WHAT THE SHIT? THE CAT HAS SUDDENLY GROWN A GIANT TUMOUR!”
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 basically gave up television because I lost the ability to filter out advertising – likewise radio – in favour of the Internet where you can [...]
THEIR “BASS” IS A COMMODORE 64 THROUGH A METALZONE DISTORTION PEDAL OR SOMETHING. CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THEIR ACTUAL SITE IS BACK UP.
Here is some chipmusic that isn’t all chip that kids who like all that noisy pop stuff will probably like. Treewave are a band who used to have a sweet site made from ASCII but now only have the files that make up the 10″ vinyl release that this song comes from. You can go [...]
ON A SIDE NOTE, FAR OUT DO I MAKE COFFEE FAST WHEN I KNOW MY FIFTEEN FREE MINUTES ARE RUNNING OUT.
I’ve been listening to a heap of chipmusic recently and getting 1337 at NetHack (110163 no shit) and True Chip Till Death blogged Covox’s latest release, Infiltrator. This is some pretty legit and listenable chipmusic, right here. Listen to this if you like dance music. SHORTY K, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU: [Audio clip: view [...]
