Uplink, by Megus
13 track album
megus.bandcamp.com
It's #BandcampFriday! Today I'm releasing Uplink, my album with #zxspectrum music covers I made on Dirtywave #m8tracker. This album is my way of paying tribute to the music that shaped my taste and got me into making music in the first place. megus.bandcamp.com/album/uplink
In 1997 my friend MAV and I made the ZX Spectrum version of a fun PC game Chopper Duel. I covered both tunes from the game. This is the menu music: youtu.be/ryz8U70WwUY

#MODtober we are going all the way back to May 1991 today with Tokyo Funk. My first ever tune released on a music disk, age 14. Probably ripped all the samples :)

#MODtober Time to dive into the single most popular soundchip of all time. The SID!. I've not made many tunes for the C64, but it was a lot of fun converting a Wavesabre tune (PC 32kb exe) down to 3 channels.

Eurodance music was very popular in Russia, so of course I listened to it a lot. Megadance Music was my attempt to make a Eurodance track on #zxspectrum. #chiptune youtu.be/--_hxwu1gQE

For todays #MODtober we're swinging over to the ZX Spectrum AY. This tune was made for the Sloanysoft game "Janky Joe in Retro Hell". Ended up with quite the infectious hook this.

#MODtober continues. Todays mod is Freerunner, a fast paced chip-tune with rolling beats, strong PWM bass and melancholic lead lines.

this video is about what happened after I removed my music from Spotify.

Chiptune is and has always been a social, community-oriented scene. Project files and tutorials are shared far and wide to help people learn how to make chiptune using predominately *free* tools made by revered members of our community. Turning your back to that and using AI is anti-social behavior.
Now that we've had some time to get off work & confer & write things down, we've put out a quick statement, removed the albums from the October newsletter, and will be making sure that folks know when they submit their albums (which these were not, btw, we were tagged) that we won't promo AI "art."

It’s so great making AY chiptunes in my #ChipNomad tracker while commuting to the office. The new alpha version coming soon!
