Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | http://www.8bitpeoples.com/ I've only sampled a couple of songs, but it is quite amusing, and somehow lovely at the same time. I really don't like techno, in fact, I pretty much hate it. But these songs, you can imagine them being in some video game. And, that is glorious. These people are crazy. ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Hmm.... do they make their own music in 8 bit style, or do they simply 'imitate' existing computer music? ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | No, they aren't completely pure, I think they only imitate the style. I've sampled more of it, and only the 'Mesu' guys music sounds convincing. The others I've heard is still just that stupid brain rattling beat music. It would be interesting to see somebody acutally do 8 bit. ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | In any case, it's good to have classic computer music (as well as graphics) to be accepted as a general artistic style as opposed to just embarrassing technical inability from stone age. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | There's definitely some good music on that page... it's amazing what some people can get out of, for example, a C64. Once I even heard a guy called LOWBATT or something on the radio who made music with two Game Boys and a load of effects boxes. I think they even have a festival for this kind of music somewhere in Belgium, but I can't remember the name. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |
