If you’re reading this, it obviously means you’ve clicked on either my blog or username. Thanks. Even if you don’t read the whole thing, thanks, because you just brought up my hit counter.
I’ve been working on many things lately, partly because I had the week off. I started on my YYG competition entry. Haven’t gotten too much of it done, but it’s going well. I’ve also been working on chiptunes. Keeping the oldschool alive :D I’m self-taught when it comes to chiptunes, but then again, most people probably are. Check out one of my older blogs that had to do with chiptunes if you want to know more. Anyway, I’ve been messing around with some effects like changing the pitch and volume. Cool stuff. I’ll show you one of my short results at the end of the blog (it’s an xm file).Another thing I’ve been doing is working on my song for the music contest here (I have made 3 different ones so far, but I can’t decide which to use). My entries are not chiptunes, either. The contest is kindly hosted by Polystyrene Man. Originally it was sk8m8trix who came up with the idea (it was and is a good idea), but it never really got off the ground. I talked to Poly about starting it up, so he started it up :D Check it out, make a song, submit it, and see where you end up. You won’t regret it. Also, there are some good prizes as well, and stampede even made an awesome banner for it too. You may have noticed that my brother registered an account here. Yes, you should be concerned about duplicate accounts, especially since the Vezper/Ios event. I can assure any concerned modreators or members that it is not a duplicate account. We are two different people. We are not clones, Siamese twins, or anything of the sort. I believe Basil and amerup are brothers as well, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Here is a small chiptune that I made recently. Check it out. Please do, because it’s a very short loop and the zip file is only 1kb. You too, Juju.Download^Yes, I'll admit it's not that great. There is no melody or anything, but I my aim was to try out some effects. If you want to hear some more, pm and I'll send you some.For any people who aren’t fans of chiptunes (or chiptrackers :D), I’ll leave you with a song.

Castles made of Sand kicks ass too. And so does Fire. Fire is probably his best. I'm still amazed by how much its solo resembles to that of RHCP's Can't Stop.
Oh yeah the chip was shit. No recurring theme whatsoever. Loved the waveforms tough.
Communism is something that would be great in theory, but doesn't ever actually work in practicallity.
@E-Magination: Yes, the chiptune is a load of shit. I used very simple, basic waveforms and did some experimenting with them. RHCP is a good band. Fire is good, but not my favorite. Hey Joe or Purple Haze are :D
@F13: Precisely.The Rogue Traders version is pretty good as well.
The song is acctually called Voodoo CHILE
They're two different versions, you dumb shit. Voodoo Chile is 10 minutes longer than this one…
Here come the drums here come the drums
Babeh babeh babehhhhhhYOU ARE MY VOODOO CHILDMY VOODOO CHILDMoby went by the pseudonym "Voodoo Child" in 2004, I wonder if Hendrix had anything to do with that.
Purianite: Some of Moby's songs are quite good :D That's interesting, maybe it is connected. I'll read up…
Juju: I'm ashamed to say I haven't listened to their cover. I'll check it out.
