awepittance Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) im a big time purest when it comes to chiptunes. meaning that if someone makes a song without any nod or reference to a specific videogame system and its just all over the fucking place with just too many sounds i find it pretty shitty. Part of the reason i love original NES music is because composers were forced to compose in 4 channels only with no polyphony unless they wanted to take up a 2nd channel for it. Too many 'chiptune' composers i find mix too many modern sounds with their videogames, there are very few people i've hear that put on modern twists that do it properly like Cylob and Team Dyobi. there are others like Proswell though that i absolutely cannot stand, to me thats very very bad chiptune attempts. i find most of the best chiptune music is found in emulation circles where people actually make their own NSF (nes music) and SPC (snes music) files , i also listen to a lot of stuff made by Adlib/fm synth composers from the late 80s downloaded from the net.

One of Squarepusher's releases is called 'Dragon Disk 2' and one of the tracks was called 'Yoshi' but, iirc, that was made by a separate artist. EDIT: But then again, I found the sound a weapon in 'Turok: Dinosaur Hunter' made was the same sound in Aphex Twin's 'Green Calx'.

acid1 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm gonna go ahead and be the black sheep and say I don't care for chip tunes. There are many talented artists out there, but I think too many of the other type rely on the chip tune sound as a gimmick "oh this is cool, it sounds like nintendo." I've messed around with sid chips and yeah the novelty of recreating all those memorable lazer and explosions sounds is enjoyable, but beyond that I think that composers are just being lazy with sound design and relying too much on nostalgia.
