About a month ago I wrote about the 2 Channel Compilation released on CalmDownKidder Records. Now it’s time for the 1 Channel Compilation! Again, this compilation has been organized by little-scale from Australia, but features songs from a bunch or artists such as Crazy Q, Jellica, J. Arthur Keenes and Nestroyer just to name a few. I also submitted a track called “Single Espresso” (though, it has been mispelled to “Esspresso” in the actual comp). It’s a .xm module using only one channel, one-cycle waveform samples and one snare drum sample. 8 bit monophonic chiptune pop in stereo!
I went to Oslo for a gig about 10 days ago. When I got to the venue, I noticed that I had only brought one of my two old LSDJ cartridges with me, which are loaded with tunes. Instead, I had accidentally brought one of my three weeks new cart, which was completely blank! Luckfully I had about three hours until I was about to go on stage, so I managed to compose this silly dance floor track in the backstage area, just in time for my set!
little-scale from Australia started an open-for-all compilation, where anyone could submit a using only two channels. I submitted a track I made using MilkyTracker.
I’ve uploaded a new Game Boy-song and two junky XM-modules. The Game Boy song is called Reducerad, and was originally made for my upcoming 8bp EP, but I’ve decided it doesn’t quite make the cut. Get it here (randomizer.se) or here (8bc.org).
I’ve also made a little re-organization in /tunes. Now there a separate folder for each different formats. The modules folder, where I’ve uploaded two fairly new, small loopy tunes, now have a subfolder for “old” songs I did between 2003-2004.
The FM folder is now browsable (it was previously private), but there’s only one little test tune I did in January there so far… More things to come though!
