Razor 1911 was recently the first to do a real crack and not just a workaround for Ubisofts new DRM copyprotection and celebrated it with a crackintro that even auto started each time the game loaded, just like in the old days. The cracktro was designed and coded by a new Razor member that people thats been around the chipcomunity since the 90s probably know: Rez (ex eclipse, bomb & tpolm). Rez also runs chiptune.com and was one of few who did a enormous job to archive and keep chiptunes and related software alive during the chipmusic darkages aka the 90s. Thanks to his and a few other dedicated peoples work(HVSC, ST Pleasuredome, Amiga music preservation, modarchive etc), a lot of knowledge stuck around to help the new kids compose their tewns when the 00s 8bit hype struck.

And now he joined Razor 1911. His first intro feature a new chiptune by Dubmood. Made in FT2 and will suerly make everyone who likes dubmoods other crackintro musics very happy!

There is a very data friendly post over at 8bit today about Datastorm2010, the oldschool platform demoparty organised by our friends in UpRough!.
Including the Fairlight demo with music by me & Zabutom. You should definitly check it out!

Time to continue my promised series of live-extracts. This time its from Göteborg in spring 2009. I know the photos are from Stockholm, Lyon and Belfort but in soviet göteborg there are no cameras! =)

This is the first 17 or so minutes of my set and contains live-material from songs like the intro of the might pirate sessions #1 (Paul Shields), nukes chipshop, intromusic by 4mat Idas haschkaka, Botkyrka Sidekickers, Fyllecell Teenage Riot #4, Axwells Hybrid crackintro music RN85 & Såhärkanmanocksågöra (with zabutom).

Next up are my livesets from Nördik Impakt in Caen &  Endbaas in Holland, both from 2009 so stay with us!

Gaspar Noe shows good form with the real opening credits for his movie enter the void.

NYC is an attempt to make the city feel foreign yet familiar, smashing together two culturally common models of space: the lo-fi overhead world maps of 1980s role-playing and adventure games, and the geographically accurate data that drives today’s web maps and GPS navigation.

It works great and flashing takes about half the time when done in double speed mode, however I forgot to clear the secondary GBC bakground map when going from LSDj back into LFM, using the classic sel-start-B-A combo. What this means is that the colour pattern from LSDj will not be erased but remain on the screen. This gave this nice visual bug seen below. As you can see, the pattern resembles LSDj’s screen layout.

I’m going to finish one more feature before I release LittleFM 0.4, loading and saving of individual LSDj files, so LFM can truly replace the builtin file manager that comes with LSDj. I have an almost working version of this feature, but it has wrinkles which I want to iron out before releasing it.

The last picture is shitwave which actually looks marvellous with the backgrounds residue. It gives the vibrations more life and you can see what’s actually happenening rather than just vaguely vibrating lines. It may not be apparent on the still image, but it looks nice live.

Sorry for the long wait, but have patience!

Another Gameboy genius, NeX is at it again. What he has done is to connect the clock output from LSDj to 74161 and 4024 counters then that is sent through (what I assume is) a slewrate limiter kind of thing to control attack and decay. Then that signal iscontrolling the frequency of a LTC1799 variable oscillator which is contralling the clock frequency of the DMG running Shitwave. (Don’t forget that Shitwave sucks though!)

Notice how there’s an interference pattern with the screen update frequency and the left boy. And that this pattern oscillates at different frequencies as the clock speed is being modulated.

Finally its out. Data Airlines 009. Transregional des pyrenees. Gameboy electro house composed with LSDj by Dubmood in 2007 re-edited and re-released in 2009 and just like the case with British Rail, Sveriges Järnvägar or the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français, heavily delayed until 2010 by reasons force majeur. We are sorry for that but at least its out. Including remixes by Facteur, Fred Berthet and Goto80!  At the moment you can get it at Amazon, Itunes and Last.fm but it will soon be online at spotify, deezer and beatport (just follow the links). Again, we are very sorry for the long delay and stayed tune for the upcoming misfitchris release!
