[b1bIs1337]

fucking sweet

[Chickenkeeper24]

Personally, I think 8-bit music is some of the best music around and is much better than dub-step. That's why I Kitsune2 is one of my favorite artists :)

[DukeNukemFl]

stfu its not dubstep its called bit music and its been around for years

[ZjebGenetyczny91]

Skrillex can suck your cock.

[ShufflinApple]

@taltigolt not really.. this is 8-bit music and is around for quite a long time.. dubstep is nothing compared to this

[TheFamas1920]

[ShorelineDefense]

Awesome ness.

[MattsAnarchy]

@ShorelineDefense I think you were meant to say Awesome-Snes.... Easy mistake :)

[thepimpleprechaun]

so after watching this video I do have a question. Did he load a song onto an atari card and then-using his program that he wrote-play that through his gAtari and modify it live for the crowd, or was he actually playing notes? It's 2:48 in the morning, I'm a little drunk and a little curious... (if that sounded too

sexual I'm sorry)

[maxinar]

@thepimpleprechaun it looks like the tracks are prerecorded, but he can apply effects and change tracks with the atari

[ShufflinApple]

@thepimpleprechaun he basicly writes the songs before he goes on the stage. while hes on the stage playing the preload song he can take certain sounds, do whammy's, slow it down, ect ect. he is basicly dj-ing with an atari x)

[redeyestint]

[UmbrellaFallout]

[Phexen74]

geil



[Lysergesaure1]

DAT BASS

[Skelanimal6x]

this shit is amazing!

anywhere i can find these songs?

[VCMGVCMG]

Why are people calling this dubstep? These songs have absolutely no dubstep elements in them at all. There's no half-time beat, there's no wobble bass, and I don't believe I heard a bass drop.

/rant

[d1ab0l1k]

@VCMGVCMG stop with the bass drop... there is dubstep with no bass drop

[DoomShizzle]

@VCMGVCMG The first song does have a number of things that are reminiscent of newer songs in the Dubstep genre. Just like any other genre, Dubstep has already evolved since its birth. It may not be classified as simply Dubstep but some elements are there.

When the main melody starts, you can hear a bloop bloop bloop sound at about 2:03 or 2:04 which imitates a wobble, and at 2:09 - 2:11 there's a simple bass wobble type sound in the background of the melody.

[IcarusLives666]

@VCMGVCMG inb4 misconceptions about what dubstep actually is

[StealthyXxX]

man you can't tell me this aint epic.

[juanjj44]

[sonngyn9]

Nerd Dubstep!!!



[HateCareSuperman]

@sonngyn9 no this isn't dubstep or even close

[Rukisforever]

EPIC!!!!!

[ObbyNiira]

Damn. I wasn't aware that the 2600 was capable of this. Time to hack up mine. e.e

[Lysergesaure1]

Oh my god, why didn't I find this earlier? So many eargasms right now…

[pwedza]

...prolly like 3 girls in attendance

[walkaboutarts]

@pwedza at least they're hot! NOT!

[WutLawl]

[V1nz0rd]

0:33 dortabords!

[Juranurlat]

.Круть! Вот талантище.

[guolha]

great inventor and artist

[Danteshizzle]

This is music, there even is a scene for this kind of music (it's underground ofcourse).. It's called glitchstep or 8bitstep, kinda like dubstep but more glitchy.. =)

[PLURandSKITTLES]

@Danteshizzle Not underground at all...

[OfficialParallelis]

cTrix is my hero

[Pencilandpaperaddict]

I'm impressed by the technology behind it.

But the sound it makes just isn't what i would call music.

I can't see this product making a lot of money, i'm out.

[ZLau13]

@Pencilandpaperaddict

Y not? I would call it as music without thinking twice!

[Pencilandpaperaddict]

@ZLau13 To me, there is just no soul or real energy, just a few repeated sounds which seem to make a beat.

But ech, i'm no musician, i'm an artist, this isn't my area.

All i know is, i like what i like, and this? Well... i don't.

[Paulwe1]

@Pencilandpaperaddict This isn't the best of chiptunes. This is OK, but the real stuff is here: /watch?v=VNnOobpzT1Q. Your opinion will improve.

[bulbastre]

@Pencilandpaperaddict Making a lot of money shouldn't be the primary goal for any artist.

[Basketalbi]

@Pencilandpaperaddict

What you consider music is irrelevant, the sound hes making contains rhythm and beat, thats why you see people in the audience nodding their head and thats why I'm shaking my leg to the rhythm. Now go back and listen to your post-folk, acoustic guitar galore and keep telling yourself that your taste is superior because you've discovered another form of music besides mainstream. Pseudo-intellectual edgy teens these days...

[aurinkotubbe]

Where can i buy/download/w.e that first song? O_O

[Jean793]

It's crap. Real guitars are better. Those digital things are rubbish.

[pat20105]

Fuck the haters

[elpaltaful]

this is not music :(

[cadmus98]

@elpaltaful Why not? It's got rhythm, repetitive motifs, etc.

[RetroTaco]

The first song was AAAWESOME

[SOYL000]

Totally stupid.

[RobotsWithShotguns]

:au:

Made a fucking awesome instrument!

[ToeKnee0126]

Now we have dubstep which can performed live. fantastic.

btw i know this doesn't qualify as dubstep. don't kill me for it. It's a joke.

[bluenotesoul]

@ToeKnee0126 This isn't live. He had to program the songs on the computer. He can only manipulate the audio output using the stompboxes. Close but no dice.

[iramirion]

@bluenotesoul Yes and no, technically he didn't output any notes. However, tracks could be re-arranged and certain elements from those tracks. This yield a total unique concert, far more unique than a band playing the same song list over and over again.

[THP808]

UTTERLY BRILLIANT.

[Jimmyraggazo]

Sweeeeeeeet

[musicman96388]

NERD STEP !

[GuachosRadicales]
