Why I like 8-Bit Music/Chiptune(Re: JAMMING TO SABREPULSE)

[RadicalPresident]

no idea who you are, but damn you speak the truth. im surprised now one has dont a chiptune remix of this.

[LifeAccording2Chris]

@RadicalPresident Thank you man. I'm actually writing a blog about Chiptune now. I've finally been getting more time to write music as well. Thank you for your kind words. I'm just a guy who likes good music.

[RadicalPresident]

@LifeAccording2Chris Awesome, where can i here your music? would you be interested to here some of my chiptunes?

[LifeAccording2Chris]

@RadicalPresident For sure man. I'm always down to listen to chiptune.

[RadicalPresident]

@LifeAccording2Chris Awesome ! =D il send one of my songs to you in a msg ^ ^

[frickinasshle]

nooo, sabrepulse, THEN bit shifter, then shirobon and so on...

[FantomenK]

Nice speech man, Go ahead and check my tunes out if you like the genre.

[ScTMoVB]

I'm 13 and Sabrepulse is my hero. I heard of him when I was 7 or 8 but didn't really know it was chiptune/8bit music, I just liked his music. Couple years later when I was 10 all of a sudden at school while I was day-dreaming I was thinking back to the past and I remembered that song, I just completely forgot the title and the artist. So after hours and hours of trying to find that one song I found it and now I'm happily doing what he is pretty much doing, making music on a gameboy with LSDJ.

[Skaarj11]

i love chiptunes is becoz I grew up playing on an NES

[DeLe1000]

I grew up on 8bit music too. And today i'm a chiptune musician. Check out my channel bro.

[SynthSpeek]

Lifeaccordingtochris check out LittleSoundDJ (LSDJ) it's what sabrepulse uses! it's great.

[Passthefukingapljuce]

Took the words right out of my mouth. +100000000000000000000000

[RawrCars]

btw!.. if you like it so much then its also enjoyable to make some of it too!

try milkytracker to start, a free program!

[RawrCars]

LSDJ for the win!

[lawlawlowned]

[adamtlee]

listen to nullsleep talk about poetry great stuff

[KaslarProductions]

I like SID tunes

[Majnore]

Chiptune is the biz. What other chiptune artists do u listen to? Youtube is full of awesome Chiptune :D

[LifeAccording2Chris]

@Majnore Almost everything I can get my hands on.  Big fan of Fighter X and Henry Homesweet too

[Majnore]

@LifeAccording2Chris I recently aquired alot of juicy Henry Homesweet, Im a major fan of Anamanaguchi and Shirobon, highly reccomended, also, Unicorn Kid :) Liking ur videos mate, full of energy and confidence :)

[WiiClassic2usb]

@LifeAccording2Chris - "I try to be open minded to all types of music." What about foreign music? I like chip as much as the next guy, but I lurrrrrrvz me some J-Rock. Listen to some Dir en grey and MUCC (both japanese bands). I recommend the songs "Ware Yami Tote" by DeG and "Gentou Sanka" by MUCC. I _think_ you might like them.

[guitarconspiracy]

saberpulse did an awesome lsdj tutorial. you should look it up on google after you buy lsdj.

[XxPushoverxX]

im like you, i like every kind of music, and i fucking loveeeeeeee 8-bit chipbreak music :D

its pretty much amazing. i grew up on video games, so the first time i heard it, i was like oh my god what is this and where can i find more! lol my friends think im weird cause i listen to alot of it xD but its fantastic :D

[LifeAccording2Chris]

TOTALLY AWESOME! thanks for subscribing too by the way!

[Cable3999]

Have you checked out the 8-bit collective website?

[LifeAccording2Chris]

OH YEAH!

[MrHungryal]

no music gets cooler than music made on gameboys or vintage game consoles

or based on them =)

[Gameboygenius]

You're just scraping the surface. Now go to 8bitpeoples and download some stuff. I recommend Random's two albums for starters.

[hoodieninja89]

im high on acid and i love 8bit

FACT

[terminaldeity]

It's definitely a generational thing.

[8bitFanatic]

8-bit forever ! ;)

[newbanZo]

Respect =]

[MacJ0naz]

Respect :]

8Bit For life

[daniel14]

Amen brotha...finaaly someone gets it.

[XGibsX]

yeah its so true this music is amazing and chris knows what hes talking about. listen to him hes amazing and i love the video

[dastyho]

u rock chris! preach it

[leves777]

chris for president!

[xTannerBreaksx]

I feel literally the exact same way about chiptune and any form of 8Bit

Like im into alot of hardcore and deathcore

just brutal stuff

then when i heard fighterX , SabrePulse, HenryHomesweet, etc... it blew my mind

its truly liberating

Ilove it

and im glad tyo see somebody else giving it the props it deserves

[franjipan89]

uuuuuuuuuuuiwasjustlikeuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuublack

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Likewise :)

[Seckser]

That was an amazing video.

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Thanks!

[duhmeir]

I'm glad that you feel about this music the same way I do. The only people I ever see listening to it is scene kids and hipsters who think it's cool to listen to. I listen to it because I grew up playing my gameboy and this sound brings me back. But also it does have a more modern sound integrated in it too. I get crazy nostalgia, and other warm and fuzzy feelings too :) Alethio by Sabrepulse is one of my favorite songs of the chiptune genre.

[kibjohn]

Thanks for appreciating the genre of music I also create since I happen to be a chiptune/8-bit artist as well...you would see my covers of popular songs here on youtube in NES renditions.

-kidThunder

[DJKux]

You're amazing man ! :D

Like lolitaXcomplex said, we thanks you to listen and love chiptune music so much! ;)

[lolitaXcomplex]

dude, what a sick guy you really are, this video is heart warming. A big thankyou from everyone in the 8bit community back at you.

If you need any help getting going with making your own chiptune beats, feel free to send me a message!

Keep rocking it mate. Much love from the UK

[AirHendrix91]

Kids Get Hit By Buses kick ass!

[BeenJamin87]

hahaha "the music version of video game poetry" I love it. I'll check out SabrePulse. I like chiptune too.

[pigeonpuddin]

[MozartCore]

[Maz3r312]

[junosucked]

[KanbeiWarrior]

Awesome to see more people who also have grown up with video games. It's interesting that the taste of music actually depends on how you lived your early years.

I fully agree with you man! Chiptunes4life!

[LifeAccording2Chris]

8 BIT'S THE WAY!

[psychromesdead]

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Thanks man!

[mdgmatthewg]

do you have any idea about whats happened to sabrepulse?

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Heard he just we back underground because Myspace was become too "popular"

[OUPokes]

Very refreshing video, I can appreciate your stand on the topic. A very smart and well thought out little expression of your appreciation for music. You sound like the kind of guy I'd like! Well done.

[hubidybrubabrub]

duuude

you gotta see him live

it was best night of my life

he signed my shoe!!

[LifeAccording2Chris]

HAHA one of these days... if I ever find time and money to make it out to the UK... I'll be there!

[1videoaday]

nice

[stalepixel]

mann you're litterlaly saying everyhting i couldnt word. i just found chiptune music, but its what iv been looking for my whole life. snes is god

[PowerSmoothie]

Hahaha!  You put it into words so well :)

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Thank man.. :-)

[GenTechJ]

Well said, I grew up on Nintendo and Game Boy myself and deeply appreciate the music (but I'm also a bit of an audophile anyways). I actually got into Sabrepulse due to this video and you jamming to it, so thank you for that. Was browsing randomly for some 8 bit music and here was this video.

[cranberrytriangle]

Just after watching this video, I think you are awesome.

I admire your deep appreciation for music... and the fact that it's chiptune is just a bonus.

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Thank you... I really appreciate it!

[pixlcrushr]

Chiptune = nostalgia. There's more to it too, it has only 4 channels and it's instrumental. That means no Crank Dat dances to cover it up. When I was a kid I played Sonic (16-bit, still limited) and Pokemon more than anything. Both games had strict channel limitations and the composers worked melody magic with them. Also, the Mario overworld song is still popular today. It had a smart melody, slight bass, and some white noise percussion. No filler. If you can't compose, you can't do chiptune.

[aliceemily17]

moral edge is good too.

[TheSamSM]

I have every album. Awesome dude.

He just posted a myspace bulletin about you btw.

<3

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Yeah I saw... I just started a MS music page for some of the stuff I've been making and I let him know how thankful I was. Hopefully he reads it and doesn't just think it's fan mail LOL!

[FrankHowley]

Wonderful video.

Sabrepulse is excellent, and you are well spoken and hit the nail on the head with this video.

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Thank you Frank... Chiptunes are awesome!

[distanttonic]

You, my man, are excellent.

[LifeAccording2Chris]

LOL THANKS!

[gavmanmusic]

omg... chris man, you totally know wat your talking about. This is just the sort of response needed just to show some love to the successful peeps who make this music and are in the 8bit community :)

these words were inspiring, and i can feel that chris is totally inspired :P its like he's passing it on.

share the luv to chris =]

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Thank YOU! I appreciate you watching.... I truly do love this music. I'll be posting a vid shortly about my MS Music page I created for some tunes I've made! SO please stay tuned!

[pkgrip]

this reminds me of the time me and my friends were blasting it jamming in his car... there were 3 cute girls in the car laughing, because it was the most amazing nintendo music hey have ever heard... we were listening to horizons remix

[DNBJerk]

You have a great way with words. You seem like a cool guy to be around.

[LifeAccording2Chris]

I'd like to think so.... :-) Thank you for the comment!

[Blackxingu]

Agree 100%

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Thank yoU!

[Paroxysm8bit]

This is great. Awesome way of explaining it too, i felt just the same when i first discovered it a few years ago. (still do feel that way!) Anyway, i started making my own stuff a few months back, i'm not great, but it feels awesome to start your own stuff! (try it when you have time!) myspace/paroxysm8bit check me out if you want! :)

[LifeAccording2Chris]

It's ALWAYS worth it to try. Im currently making some tunes as well but they are thru Fruity Loops rather than LSDJ. I dont have the funds for that kind of hardware as of now.. BUT EVENTUALLY... I will. I also started up a MS music page for my tunes!

[sezradmark]

I agree with you completely.

Sabrepulse & Chiptune ftw!

[LifeAccording2Chris]

YES YES YES

[ChildLegend]

[M3L33MA5T3R]

I love 8-bit music. I don't know whether or not it's the actual way it sounds that makes me like it, or just the nostalgia, but I really enjoy it.

[capcomistle]

great words

[spannerchops]

Well done for voicing that :) Chiptune is amazing.

I've been making it for one year so far...

Why don't you start?

LSDJ & nanoloop are easy to get ahold of :)

[LifeAccording2Chris]

Very true... Maybe I will after this semester. I have to make sure everything is good with my schooling before I jump into something I might fall in love with lol

Thanks for the info on how to start!

[spannerchops]

No worries :)

If you need any help on getting started "how to" etc or where can i get this or this from, i'll do my best to help you out buddy!

Have a good one!
