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.

Oooh, this looks sort of neat:

"A Chiptune Audio Workstation for the 21st Century"

Any #Chiptune / #Chipmusic / #Tracker folks try this out yet?

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!

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.

I did it. I made music on a TI-83 graphing calculator. This is insane. Massive shout-out to @jefftheworld for letting me know this exists. Man was this a pain to get up and running. I still run into a problem where it only plays the first note and then nothing else. I find if I leave row play mode off it doesn't do that but I'm stumped as to what it could be causing it. The only thing that solves it is reinstalling. Yikes! Well, it works. For now. Gotta get the emulator up and running so I have a more reliable platform to work with the tracker. Then I can port the ROM over to the calculator.

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.

The future of Game Boy chip music is pretty neat.

I hate using disposable batteries, and these are so convenient!

#chiptune #chipmusic #gameboy #batteries #rechargeable


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?


@cobracommander

Yeah, it's super cool!

A lot more powerful than you might think, especially given it doesn't actually have a sound chip. 😛

#chiptune


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 https://jefftheworld.com , so please check it out if you're into #chiptune, #chipmusic, and other #micromusic.

jefftheworld live @ TIFF Bell Lightbox Theater


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.

Indonesian, chiptune boomer shooter?

Yes please!

Game Boy Guerrillas @ Nuit Blanche 2009


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:

Ultrasyd's Lost in Fractal Dimension
&
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.

The @dirtywavemusic #m8tracker and these @retrokitsdev RK-TRS-Xs are basically best friends.

Putting together a bit of a portable live setup.

Get ready, Europe!

I absolutely _love_ seeing a device like this utilizing easily replaceable switches.

M8 synth with two keycaps removed and one keyswitch removed. A keycap puller sits atop the synth.
