Yeah, I know exactly what you mean about having creative constraints. I have the same problem, except usually I don't bother constraining myself production-wise, so despite attempting to write melody-focused electronic music my output ends up completely all over the map. AADs are nice opportunities for temporary constraints, but since each one's usually radically different that only end up contributing to the perception that my overall style is incredibly eclectic almost to the point of incoherence.

And I'll give you deep bass sawtooth, but what about deep bass square wave? BRRRRRRRT hell yeah.

Also, I might have to respectfully decline Mr. Graue's hoisting of me as #1 Fan, as I don't even have TBQ, Marm & Toc, or untitled.gif orchestra, yet. Also I think the latter is down which only feeds my completist urges more. Plus, I downloaded Underground Onions and then deleted it because I thought it sucked, so that might disqualify me from the position entirely.

Hello Tom,

This is the best website I ever visited!
 
7796. Cpt. Spaceface (62.242.234.234) – 14 Nov 2008 09:39:22 How to convert your Timex Ironmanâ„¢ Triathlonâ„¢ brand digital wrist watch to space time ]
This is brilliant. Years ago I had the same Timex Ironman model, but it was stolen from me before I had the chance to set it to space time. What I do have though is a brand new digital watch running on space time after following your tutorial.

Thanks for the tip

Oh yeah, good point. Also available if the flash version doesn't work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGI-GqAK9c
Glad you liked the dancing. Sorta harder to robot dance when we're playing guitar though. We'll work on it.

Well, first of all, I do think of chiptunes as "serious" electronic music, but your scare quotes indicate I don't really need to argue about that. I think there are three reasons why I usually do that: I have a certain nostalgia for video game music; I like the format and the terseness of expression. Two is that I think that electronic music in general is so underconstrained as to make it difficult for me to find a voice; I like to make stuff under constraints that force me to be creative within them (I think this is what you were getting at). Particularly, a lot of electronic music is about texture or ambience or feeling or dance rhythm or something, and to me the most important thing is melody. Chiptunes are highly melody-oriented, usually. Three is that even though I call them constraints, I actually think that the sawtooth wave is pretty much the best sounding instrument of all time. Specifically a deep bass sawtooth. That is hot shit. Believe it or not, but I find clicking on the piano roll a really intuitive and expressive way of making music, almost like real-time.

All of the songs in HSE are real in the sense that there is an intended melody and stuff. I've only recorded them on a little hand-held tape recorder, but I'd like to make them slightly more professionally available at some point...

That video was awesome (especially the dancing, all SR songs should have synchronized robot steps) but I think Nels may have been referring to the SIGBOVIK presentation by VVV: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/sigbovik/mario3.swf

I definitely understand the compulsion to not get in ruts, and purely making chiptunes certainly forces you to be original in writing. Is that why you stick to chiptunes instead of doing more "serious" electronic music, or is it something else?

Interesting that you mention clicking randomly to write, I'm usually totally crippled without having my keyboard to play stuff on and come up with chords etc. The exceptions are right now, since I don't have my keyboard where I am, and when I do deaf ear AADs, of which I have entirely too many now.

rerereverb: I mean the very first split second of the song, it sounds like a reverb tail from the last notes got placed at the beginning.

Also, I just finished HSE the other day, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It almost got kinda meaningful at the end, which I was hoping for. Did you ever record any of the rock opera songs, or are they analogs for other preexisting songs, or anything like that?

I honor video upload requests from band members only:

http://vimeo.com/2220555

The reason I didn't upload this one in the first place is that I forgot to record the mics at the beginning of the show, so it has only bad camcorder sound. Oh, well.
