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 The Game Boy song is called Reducerad, and was originally made for my upcoming 8bp EP, but I've decided it doesn't quite make the cut.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!

Go to their Episodes page and scroll to the bottom to download the videos, featuring Syphus, Spheres of Chaos, Firebrand Boy, Sabrepulse and of course yours truly (in part 2) - or start subscribing to the podcast! http://www.gamewavepodcast.com/rss.xml is the adress to do that.
CalmDownKidder also did some nice filming at the Sheffield gig. Watch his videos on his YouTube page.
Kyle from Distant Tonic Photography, that came along the tour as official tour photographer, have started to upload pictures on his MySpace as well - Have a look!

Yes, I'm a little bit late with this news, but anyway - Here it is! Kill Club #001 - A compilation CD with 14 chiptune tracks, made by 14 different artists, from five (?) different countries. Unfortunately it is only available in Asia, but hopefully some kind of European and American distribution will be put into action some time... Anyway, my song "Rymden Är Jävligt Cool" is featured on the CD, and you can download an mp3 of that here (Right-click and "Save Target As..."): http://www.randomizer.se/tunes/gameboy/Random_-_Rymden.mp3
Enjoy!

A couple of days ago I got a message from some German trance dude called Nic Ginto on MySpace, saying that he really likes my song Spontaneous Devotion and that he "...felt free to keep up this wonderful melody and make a small Trance-remix".
Trance is usually not my cup of tea, but I admit that Spontaneous Devotion actually is kind of trancey, so it fits pretty well being remixed as a trance song :)
Ginto's message also made me remembered that another remix was done of Spontaneous Devotion, back in 2006, by no one else than Spanish chiptune king Sergeeo! It is a NES remix and the second song he ever composed using FamiTracker.
Enjoy! (Right-click and "Save Target As..."):

Once again, chip- and micromusicians have been plagiarized. This time it's Laromlab aka Brandon Harrods who have been ripping off music by artists such as Crazy Q, Dubmood, Lotek Style and Dma-Sc (and released a full album with their songs!), but also Ikuma, Goto80 and myself... My song (Project24) was only used in a really shitty movie review podcast called "Popcast", but Laromlab clearly claimed in a myspace blog post that it was his composition. Read it here.
He has now posted an official excuse on his myspace page, but the ripped material, including the podcast episodes, are still floating around on the Internet.
To read the full story, and more detailed description of which songs have been plagiarize, please visit this page: http://technopolitan.se/~crazyq/dontcopythatfloppy/

I just received an e-mail from Last.fm Team:
we're still working on ways of separating artists with the same name, for the
mean time there will be no single control of the page by any one artist.
Sorry we can't help with this, but we do take the issue seriously and are
making progress on it.
Good news I suppose! Let's just wait and see what happens...

I will be performing at Club Robot's launching party April 23rd. It's taking place at a really nice venue called Under The Westway in London, and Intelligentsia and Komputer will also be playing, so make sure not to miss it!
I have uploaded a gigs page as well, which you can find in the Menu, with a boring list of all my previous and upcoming live shows :)

Random is a damn good artist name. Perhaps it's even too good, since at least six other artists other than me wants to use it. This can be slightly problematic sometimes, for several reasons which you can probably figure out yourself.
Recently there has been a small war going on between me and some other Randoms on Last.fm. It started with my picture being changed to a picture of five hopeless Austrian emopunk wretches sitting in a room looking very serious about life and their hairdos, and a few days later the Random page on Last.fm was pestered with (suprise, surprise!) a bunch of emopunk songs. Not acceptable.
It took a little work and some e-mails to change it back, and for the moment it's a bit of a compromise with two of my songs and two emopunk songs on the page, but I'm planning to put Operation Ruthless into action soon...

So... there's a "48h Challenge"-thread going on over at the 8bc forums, where one person at a time gets challenged in to composing a song in 48 hours, following certain rules given by the challenger. Two days ago, wedanced challenged me to make a tune with the following rules:
8-bit theme song for a unicorns and dragons vs. chuck Noris and David bowie (as the the goblin king) battle sequence with lol cats dancing in the background.
He is obviously insane, but I accepted the challenge non the less. The result (which is more of a 10-songs-in-1-megamix than an actual theme song) can be downloaded here or from the original 8bc post. Enjoy the madness.
