8 bit music
« on: August 19, 2005, 12:04:02 am »
In the usual web surfing I came across "8 bit music" (aka "chiptunes").  It consists of music written using a gameboy!  It literally sounds like your favorite arcade cabinet hosting its own party.  I can't think of a group of people that would appreciate it more then everyone here...

One of the best is BitShifter : www.bitshifter.cc
A good sample : http://www.bitshifter.cc/audio/bit_shifter_-_march_of_the_nucleotides.mp3

Another good sight where all the music (and album art) is made for fun and is free to downlaod : www.8bitpeoples.com

It's interesting...It would be neat attract mode music for a mame cab...let me know what you think.

Thanks, that's cool stuff.  There is certainly a site for everyone.  I usually grab the game remixes but I've never heard of people using the system to make original music.  I like what I've listened to so far.

Next I'll be on fries, and that's when the big money starts rolling in.

There is a lot of good stiff.  I like the bitshifer and psilodump work.  The 80s remakes by Mesu Kasumai on "my fiero" are a riot...play one and try to name the tune.
