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.

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 history of Amiga chip modules with 4mat

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...

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.
Two pedalboard boxes filled with audio equipment. In one box is a MPK Mini, a Game Boy, Arduinoboy, and an 8x8 MIDI processor. In the other box is a Famicom AV with small display and a MIDINES cartridge, a DIY 5x5 stereo audio isolator, a 1010Music Bluebox mixer, and a Dirtywave M8.

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.

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. 😛

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.

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.

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.
