First of all, once again I have followed Karawapo's (of Pepino) wise advice and (finally) moved over this blog to be hosted at randomizer.se, instead of wordpress.com's servers which this URL simply was directing to before. Actually, I didn't even do it myself, Karawapo did it for me! Thank you very much :)
Second, Chinese label Shanshui Records have started a side label called "Kill Club". It is run by Sulumi and the first release which soon is to be released is a compilation CD-R with "The amazing chiptunes that belongs to future, and namely, the chiptunes that are purely classic." - Now, how awesome doesn't that sound?! When I also tell you that the artists featured on this CD-R includes masters of the art such as Covox, Blasterhead, IKARI, Sulumi, USK, Maru, Aonami and of course Yours truly, I won't blame you if you just shit yourself of excitement. Anyway, a new post will come as soon as the CD-R is released and available to order!
Third and finally, I just wanted to inform you that I'm nearly finished with my third 8bitpeoples EP, and if everything goes according to plan (though, no guarantees that it will!) it will be released in April.
The guys over at 2PlayerProduction has now uploaded a bunch of nice videos from Blip Festival 2006 (which I played at) and from Blip Festival 2007 (which I didn't play at). You can find all the 2006 vids here, and all the 2007 vids here. Check them out!
I got a message on Myspace from AnalogMoz, who asked about the closed-for-public modules folder in randomizer.se/tunes. To be honest I didn't even know there were such a folder in there. Now I have however opened it for public, and uploaded a few old modules of mine. They are from the very beginning of my music career (late 2003/early 2004), when I was just starting out with chipmusic, but still hadn't found LSDJ and Game Boy-music. So don't expect anything but charm from these small attempts!
Oh, and, for those who don't know how to play these modules, go to un4seen.com and download XMPlay if you're using Windows, or to CocoModX and download the player there if you're using OSX.
Two upcoming gigs! First off is Bologna, Italy, where I'll play at Future Film FestivalJanuary 20th, where 8 bit movie, a documentary about art and video games, directed by Marcin Ramocki and Justin Strawhand also will be shown
Second is in Blackpool, UK, where I team up with Flanboy, Nordloef, Sabrepulse and Falco Lombardi for a night of chiptune frenzy at The 8-Bit Ball! February 2nd.
Last year my gig in Barcelona got canceled because I got really sick, which in turn made me miss my flight home, loose stupid money and go through a quite horrible travel experience (but very nice at times too, entirely thanks to Rabato, Yes Robot, Alicia, Rigo and everyone else). I was very happy when I got a new chance to take on Barcelona this year though, as the people at Lapsus Festival invited me to come and play for them. However, my happiness turned into another nightmare, when unreasonable bad luck and stupid misunderstandings made me miss two (two!) flights to Barcelona a few days ago...
I'm sorry it turned out like this - I'll promise to come back again in 2008, and that time...!
After having a temporary website for almost a year that hardly ever got updated, I've finally (following Karawapo's wise advice given to Rabato) decided to change my site into a fucking blog. We'll see how this goes...
