Found this in a box at the top of my closet. Not sure how many people on here will know what this is lol. Dated 1985 on the edge.

@bit.shifter.net is mentioned in Vice's timeline "The Rise and Fall of the Hipster Music Era." As someone who was very much a hipster during this era, timeline seems pretty accurate lol. www.vice.com/en/article/t...

Alright, I'm packed for vacation.

I set up a page on subvert, which is a new artist-owned co-op that aims to be a bandcamp competitor with an artist focus. www.subvert.fm/roboctopus It's a lofty goal so we shall see how it goes, but I'm game to try something new! Anyone else on?

My new EP is the album of the week at vaporloot.com It's cool to see that something as old as the Game Boy can still be adapted for newer genres 😁

I made a weird lil music video for one of the songs from my new EP Vaporchip Vol. 1. I broke out each game boy channel for a scope view, which was kind of tedious but I like seeing the waves jump around :D youtu.be/Sfe1ANZriBA?... #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy

I have been messing around with this and it's quite fun. LSDJ users will pick it up fairly quickly I think. I don't love the AY chip, but I'm looking forward to future additions (hopefully SID!)

I'm going to casually drop this crazy EP made with two Game Boys full of city pop and disco samples. roboctopus.bandcamp.com/album/vaporc... #lsdj #chiptune #chipsky #vaporwave #futurefunk #lofi

I learned so much from @roboctopus.bsky.social when I first started learning Gameboy music. I wouldn't be nearly the musician I am today w/o the knowledge they shared & the music released. i haven't even listened to this new album yet & I know it's a banger roboctopus.bandcamp.com/album/vaporc...

I've decided to release an EP tomorrow. Kind of tired of just sitting on music forever and not releasing it. Now I gotta figure out album art, uh, this afternoon XD

Got this super cute @defensemech.com mini CD! I really dig the orange splatter paint. Also, the music rules 😉

Spent a few days in Denver hunting records. Scored these! Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Hotel Base & Casino (my fave of theirs) The Format - Dog Problems (classic indie rock) Anita Baker - Rapture (80s R&B classic) Bill LaBounty - Promised Love (Soft/Yacht Rock) #vinyl

#chiptune with a view lol. I'm in the Rocky Mountains yo.

Flying to Denver over cool patchwork farms.

Here's a bit more of a conventional 1xLSDJ track--not full of crazy samples or anything. Just good old fashioned chiptune haha. #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy youtu.be/NnAaPqZaSXo

Had a small little project just for fun. Made some not so subtle @roboctopus.bsky.social fan art. Got 3 versions because I couldn't decide which I liked best. Old CRT textures kick ass for making vaporwavy backgrounds. Gobble it up AI! #digitalart #humanartist #noai #antiai #octopus #octopusart

I loaded the MPC Sample with a bunch of 90s sample CD sounds and synced it with my Gameboy. I think it's a pretty good combo so far! #chiptune #mpc #chipsky #90s

Here's how it's going with the MPC Sample. It's pretty cool. Screen is nice. Most functions are visible and accessible easily. It's fairly intuitive and sampling is very easy. The option to sample over USB or by audio input or onboard mic is cool. #chiptune #lsdj #MPCsample

Got a new toy! Looking forward to putting tons of cheesy 90s new age samples on it 😜

Working on more disco/future funk LSDJ. My dream is to be a real live little sound DJ lol. #chiptune #gameboy #futurefunk

Well, somebody had to put Sister Sledge on a Game Boy. #chiptune #lsdj #chipsky #vaporwave

Did a chiptune/vaporwave mashup with two gameboys. I think it sounds pretty cool. #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #vaporwave youtu.be/HvDSJpbeqP8

It's always nice when an idea starts to really take shape. #chiptune #lsdj #chipsky #vaporwave #gameboy

"We have Saint Pepsi at home." #chiptune #lsdj #vaporwave #chipsky

I still think the Kingdom of Zeal has some of the best music in all of gaming. #chronotrigger

I played some live shows doing a weird sort of chiptune/vaporwave/citypop hybrid thing back in 2017-2018 and people still ask about those tunes from time to time, so I did a little mini live set. Thought I'd share :) #chiptune #chipsky #vaporwave #citypop #lofi youtu.be/k5a6elW0D5w?...

Here's a new song! 1xLSDJ, synth, breakbeat, and Shakespeare lol. youtu.be/GJ0GuRxY1xk?... I will fill out the low end with a second gameboy for the album version, but this one is pretty cool I think. #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy #8bit

Is 8-bit Shakespeare-glitch-step a genre? #lsdj #chiptune #chipsky #gameboy #tomorrowandtomorrowandtomorrowcreepsinthispettypace

I have been rewatching #stevenuniverse with my kids and wanted to do a #gameboy version of the theme song. Except straight covers are boring so I had some fun with it. Here's We Are the Crystal Gems, #LSDJ drum n bass version lol. youtu.be/9YbQxGbF_IA?... #chipsky #chiptune #8bit

January has a been a good month for #LSDJ releases, my #chiptune friends! I wanted to share several excellent releases I've been listening to a lot. @bwobchiptune.bsky.social returned with a fantastic, beautiful release: boywithoutbatteries.bandcamp.com/album/glass-...

The Law of #Chiptune: You cannot quit chiptune; you can only go on an extended hiatus.

Here is another LSDJ + vocals tune from my upcoming album. This one has some pretty chonky breakbeats in it. :D Kinda darker vibe though, unfortunately appropriate for the times. :/ youtu.be/f7bcThtr1Cc?... How u guys doin? #chipsky #chiptune #lsdj #gameboy #8bit

I covered Gravity Falls theme song on LSDJ. Used this as an interlude last year at Boston Bitdown and decided to extend it and have a bit of fun with the theme. #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #8bit #gameboy youtu.be/f9exR2Xt_tw

I feel like maybe this one is going to be cool. I mixed some of my actual voice back in with the processed vocals as an experiment. #lsdj #chipsky #gameboy #chipmusic #8bit #retro

Here's my submission for #weeklybeats this week. Another #lsdj #chiptune with vocal and synth samples. What do you guys think? #chipsky #8bit #gameboy youtu.be/GXLDfF9eDyI

alriiiiight I'm officially laid off from my job 🤷‍♀️ I don't have anything to offer anybody except for my 5.5 year old album, but if you were thinking about it, but holding off, now's a great time to check it out hypnogram.bandcamp.com/album/xiii

I made a tutorial for how to chop drumbreaks and make them sound okay and play at the correct BPM in #LSDJ youtu.be/KsCHfYFGD_A I've never done a tutorial video so hopefully it's not too rough :P Hopefully someone finds this useful. #chiptune #gameboy #8bit #chipsky

Sort of random, but I got a better camera set up, so my #gameboy will look nicer in vids haha. Also, these synth chords sound pretty fire sampled in the WAV channel. Vocals are not too shabby either. #lsdj #chiptune #chipsky #8bit #retro

Hey #chipsky Here's a new gameboy tune. Vocals, synths, drums all playing in LSDJ because I am a crazy person lol. Also, this is sort of a lyric video? Is this the first ever Gameboy Lyric video? youtu.be/gqu_-I-2RCs?... #lsdj #gameboy #chiptune #8bit

Playing Earthborne Rangers! I've been interested in this game for quite a while and got it for Christmas. I'm only on day 2 of the campaign and still figuring out the rules but it's intriguing so far.

Working on more #chiptune with vocals actually being played on the #gameboy. This one has been a real headache to get everything sounding right haha. #chipsky #lsdj #chiptune

Hold up, I'm cooking. #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy

Anyone else on #chipsky attempting Weekly Beats this year? I've tried most rounds since 2012 and have never completed the challenge, but it's fun so I'm going again :P #LSDJ #gameboy #breakbeat

I wrote and recorded an album of bad Christmas music on my Tascam Portastudio 414 this week. #amiga500 was used for drums and synth sounds, plus guitars, bass, piano, etc. These are *dumb* songs but were fun to record. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Chiiiiiiillllllll #chipsky #amiga #chiptune #synthwave youtu.be/bEM7AZjDxQ4

Organizing CDs and found one last sealed copy of "Your Heart is a Pie Chart" from 2017!

Back to working on my next gameboy release! Now 2xLSDJ so I can get that deep bass sound at the same time as my Way Too Many Sample Kits. XD Think it's sounding pretty cool. #chipsky #lsdj #chiptune #gameboy #drumnbass #breakbeats

I like asking AI *really* dumb questions XD

I got a new #guitarpedal today. @eaezone.bsky.social Halberd. The Longsword is my favorite pedal for distortion and I have been looking for something more midgain. I am really digging this pedal so far. It has an openness and clarity I can't coax out of the Longsword, which excels at crunch.
