Been playing with Faircamp—a static site generator for musicians and labels that sort of replaces bandcamp—and it's pretty neat: simonrepp.com/faircamp/
Something that's really nice is that it manages all the transcoding for you. So I was able to provide lossless tracks and have it automatically generate all the various formats I wanted to offer the music in.
Plus, makes it easy to do download codes and pay-what-you-can, both things that can be difficult for less-technical people/groups.
I set up a test of it on a subdomain of my music site and I may just eventually replace my existing music player and download system with this: music.jefftheworld.com/
Sidwizard is my C64 music software of choice, but somehow I missed the fact that it was now also available for Linux and Windows!

Just found "Opeth Music Cartridge for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive" on bandcamp. Instant purchase. Too bad the actual cartridges are sold out. The arrangements are really good and use the FM sounds of the Genesis' sound chip to great effect.
Look at this ancient video of me performing outside old city hall in Toronto! 2010 was almost a decade and a half ago!

New gigging Game Boy!
Having a Game Boy chassis made entirely of aluminum is probably overkill, but I need my gigging gear to be as robust as possible.
Any Oxford folks going to be going to the upcoming generative music event?
I'll be bringing a bunch of my chiptune stuff to jam out and people will be more than welcome to get hands on with my gear.

Music event by Vårtgården on Thursday, July 20 2023 with 142 people interested and 72 people going. 39 posts in the discussion.facebook.com
Hello everyone, here is my #introduction 😀
I am most of all a musician. I’ve been playing live and composing under the name “gwEm” for 20+ years.
Mostly I make #chiptune and I am deeply passionate about it. I do this outside and inside the #demoscene.
I also do old skool rave, electro, drum’n’bass, metal and punk.
Platforms of choice are in first place the Atari ST, and in second place the Commodore Amiga.
An awesome new record just arrived in the mail!
Bitshifter's fantastic Information Chase!
It's been ages since I've seen him in person—it may have been at a show we played together in Kitchener of all places—but this album brings back all the great memories of the early NA chiptune scene!
I suspect not many people use a Commodore keyboard to make Famicom music…

Anyone looking for some awesome new #AtariST #chipmusic?
I love hearing new #chiptune #music, so maybe we can turn this into a thread? Share any chiptune- or #micromusic-related stuff that you recommend!

4mat is a legend in the world of #Amiga #chiptune modules, so who better to give a history of the genre?
This is an older video so many of you #Commodore, #chipmusic, and #tracker nerds may have seen it already, but it's definitely a great watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of chip module music!
The Amiga computer had a little chipmusic scene of it's own, centred around the popular 'trackers' used back then. Some of these tracks still pop up in crac...YouTube
Okay, cabling aside, I think my portable #Nintendo gigging setup is pretty much good to go now!
I'd love to hear from other #chiptune, #chipmusic, and #micromusic folks about what their portable setups are like.
In fact, I'd love to hear from people outside the scene as in sure there are lots of #musicproducion, #synth, and #livemusic nerds doing interesting portable and #DAWless setups.
Had a broken #Spectrum #Microdrive, but I was able to repurpose it for my #chipmusic setup!
Anyone using a lot of USB-powered #audio equipment knows how annoying ground loops can be. With this I've got 5x stereo isolators in a relatively small box.
By popular demand, pcm2pwm v0.8 is now available as compiled binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows.

I know it's still waiting for me in storage, but I miss this NES.
Playing around in Famitracker with the FDS sound expansion.
The future of Game Boy chip music is pretty neat.
I hate using disposable batteries, and these are so convenient!
Here's my (relatively) portable #famicom (#nes) #chiptune setup.
I can power it with a portable USB battery and it packs away easily into a small bag. Great way to get my #2A03, #MIDINES fix on the go!
For other #chipmusic folks, what's your favourite (relatively) portable setup?
For other #micromusic or #electronicmusic people, what about you all?
Yeah, it's super cool!
A lot more powerful than you might think, especially given it doesn't actually have a sound chip. 😛
#houstontracker2 time! Will I finally get this ready for a release? 
It might be a small thing, but I'm very glad I did this little mod on my #MIDINES, because it makes this way easier to pack up and easier to use with my TRSMIDI gear.
Just a reminder that all my music is free to download at jefftheworld.com , so please check it out if you're into #chiptune, #chipmusic, and other #micromusic.

In case you missed me a couple years ago! I finally got the footage from this event. I'm clearly not exceptionally animated in this video but I was exhausted because I was doing two shows in separate parts of the city and I'd been running back and forth between the two all night long. Worthwhile in the end, but oh-so-tiring.

Woah, Blip Noir dropped a new #chiptune EP after a decade of being MIA!
The Game Boy Guerrillas (jefftheworld, Eastern Blok & deadbeatblast) rip up Nuit Blanche with some awesome chiptune music.
Thanks to everyone in Toronto who came by!
Two songs appear in this video which were created by artists who could not attend, but were graciously given to us to play:

Beware's Mobius Strip

Very excited to use this at my next live show!
Really missing my Commodore 64s. They're in storage back in Canada, but I did bring this Kerberos cartridge with me so that I can jump right in if I find a fair price on a C64 here.
