We spent a good chunk of band practice working on the final song on our upcoming album. We ran through the whole thing at the end of practice, and after, John simply leaned back, looked at the ceiling and simply said "...wow..." Take that for what you will :) #BandPractice

Thanks to everyone who picked Chipsurf Pipeline on CD so far! That means a ton to us! And for those wanting more chipsurf, we have several chipsurf songs in flight and are working on a follow-up album! #Chipsurf #Chiptunes #8bit #Surf

It's finally here! Chipsurf Pipeline is now available on Compact Disc both on Bandcamp and on our website! Both include a digital download of the album, though we hope folks will take the actual CD for a spin! #ChipsurfPipeline #CompactDisc #CD #Chiptune #GameBoy #NES #8bit #Surf #MusicSky

Here it is! At least the front. The whole thing turned out beautiful and sounds fantastic! The CD artwork itself is so good! We hope to have these available as early as this week! Thank you to @duplication.bsky.social for their help in making this a reality! #CD #ChipsurfPipeline #Chiptunes #Surf

Another tease! #Chipsurf #Chiptune #ChipsurfPipeline #Soon #PhysicalMedia

Look what just arrived! #WhatsInTheBox

Thanks for everyone who participated in Bandcamp Friday or found ways to support your favorite bands! It means a lot to us that folks still appreciate music made by real people. Also we have some hopefully exciting news come Tuesday! #BandcampFriday #MusicSky #Tuesday

Reminder! Day is half over, at least for us, it's Bandcamp Friday! Great day to support musicians more directly, including (but of course not limited to) us! You can grab our latest single on Bandcamp: victimcache.bandcamp.com/track/syringe And also on victimcache.com. #BandcampFriday #MusicSky

It's BC Friday! And this time we thought we'd share a huge big 'ole list curated from Earth Modular Society (we're on it too): www.buymusic.club/list/earthmo... #BandCamp #BandCampFriday

More tape, Eurorack, keys, and stuff! We ended up getting a solid song idea at band practice yesterday. A sort of cross between the album we're getting close to finishing and Alien Me. We love tape! John made heavy use of Tim's WaveBoy module for delay on it too. #Cassette #Portastudio #MadeOnTape

And here's what the full 4 track loop sounds like! www.victimcache.com/2025/11/maki... #TapeLoop #Cassette #Lofi

Messing with John's modular guitar rig (complete with Tim's WaveBoy module for effects!). Today we're making a lo-fi tape loop! #Modular #GuitarRig #BandPractice

Super happy for this! We used J Lane plat for our cover-art photoshoot for Syringe and almost used it but did want that nuclear green color pop. We're nonetheless sooo excited these are about to be available again!

I just approved the final layouts for our CD release of Chipsurf Pipeline! It's happening! - Tim #CDs #CDSky #ItsHappening

Setting up the Portastudio in prep for band practice today! And reminder, we just tossed out our latest single, Syringe! Check it out on victimcache.com! #MadeOnTape #Cassette #DAWless

Our newest song, Syringe, is finally available! Available on both our website (www.victimcache.com) and bandcamp! Go Outside, Unplug Your Mind #Bandcamp #BandcampFriday #Industrial #SocialMedia #MusicSky #Syringe #BreakTheCycle #GoOutside

Tim messin around with his Eurorack setup again.

There is a bit of an irony in sharing this given the song's meaning, which the cover art also alludes to. So forgive the mild hypocrisy. Here's the artwork for our song which drops this Friday! #CoverArt #Ektar100 #LargeFormat #FilmPhotography #ShootFilmBeNice

New song coming this Friday, w00! It's been finished for a while - we've just been hard at work on the cover art and we're really happy with how everything's turned out!

Very little music work today at "band" practice haha. Instead we spent nearly the whole time talking about music video ideas. Not so useless as we ARE planning on music videos "soon", starting with songs off our Alien Me album. Very excited for some of these ideas!

We haven't talked about our CD release of Chipsurf Pipeline in a bit, but it's a thing! We had to tweak things a bit (and will be updating the 10th Anniv release too) but I think it's basically there. So expect more news soon! #ChipsurfPipeline #CD #Chipsurf #Chiptune #Surf #8bit

Tim whipping up some new features in his WaveBoy Eurorack module!

I had to derack our mixer to flip some jumpers (again). Saw this horror show of wires and snapped a photo. This was mostly for a friend that hates wires. But thought I'd share it out to the world too. - Tim #Wires #HorrorShow #AnalogGuts

WaveBoy 0.62 firmware is now available! Save-state bugfixes and a new wave manipulator are what's for dinner! www.bitbybitsynths.com/2025/10/wave... #WaveBoy #Firmware #Eurorack #Modular #Synthesizer #Chiptune

We'll be there today! Hope you will be too! The current state of things is a major part of what our upcoming album is about. For us, that means we need to be out there to represent the values and freedoms we hold dear. So should you if able! #NoKings #BandOuting

Behind the scenes for the Syringe cover art. Taken with a Chamonix 45F2 and Wolensak 150mm uncoated lens (which Tim hoped would pass more UV onto the film). BW sheets are drying now and color sheets are getting mailed to the lab today. #BTS #Syringe #LargeFormat #FilmPhotography #UV

Mixer setup for the mix/master of our next song, Syringe. We took the 2nd round of photographs for the cover art at band practice today too! #Syringe #NewMusicSoon

It's Bandcamp Friday! Today's a good day to support your favorite bands! We have several new that are almost don't but until then, how about some Friday Chipsurf. Here's Space Hatchet: victimcache.bandcamp.com/track/space-... #Bandcamp #BandcampFriday #MusicSky #Chipsurf #Chiptune

I was debating on sharing this as it may or may not be the official artwork for our song, Syringe and I don't want to spoil surprises. Taken on my 4x5 camera with a 1950's lens and shot on HP5 film. - Tim #Syringe #FilmPhotography #LargeFormat #CoverArt

Mixer pr0n. Finally getting around to adjust the aux bus config to be more suited for use as a studio, rather than live, mixer. - Tim #AnalogMixer #PCBs #Jumpers

Learning how to do DDP Masters in Reaper #Reaper #DDP #CD #CDMastering #ChipsurfPipeline

Tape rawr! What could we be using it for!? (Probably not hard to guess) #ReelToReel #TapeBounce #MusicSky #ChipsurfPipeline

My new to me CD player arrived! Yes an actual CD player playing an actual CD (not just ripping one). It's fun! (Probably foreshadows what we're planning as well) It's Iris' Awakening album for the curious. - Tim #CDs #CompactDisc

Cables are expensive. - Tim

Had some great responses and discussion with folks about our physical media plans (TinyVinyl also might be in the plans, we'll see!) But if you haven't given your $0.02 yet, survey is still open and we'd love to hear from you! www.surveymonkey.com/r/VLRS7FF #CDs #Vinyl #Cassette #Music #Survey

We wanna give Chipsurf Pipeline a full physical release. While we have an idea of what we wanna do, we'd love to hear from folks on which format they might prefer. www.surveymonkey.com/r/VLRS7FF #WouldYouLikeToTakeASurvey #PhysicalRelease #CD #Vinyl #Cassette

Band Prac was basically no practice but all talking about a lot of fun things we are planning and trying to figure out for the future. Things like next album, merch, chiptunes and even live shows again. Some really good ideas we're excited about!

It's Bandcamp Friday! A great day do support your favorite artists! #Bandcamp #BandcampFriday

In other news, we've finally finished recording all the parts for a song we have been working on for months now. We still need to mix and master it, but it was more challenging to record than most and we're excited to be entering a new phase of the song's development. #NewSongSoon #Soonish

No more Spotify at least for Chipsurf Pipeline. We're looking into the others too. We have a lot of thoughts on this (lots of folks do) but we're not cool with what Spotify is doing to artists (big and small) among other issues with distribution. #Spotify #Nope

I'm not saying this is what we're gonna do, but I always felt like a physical release of Chipsurf Pipeline deserved a full album and it would look pretty sweet on CD... It really deserves to be on vinyl, I think, but one risky project at a time. - Tim #CDs #ChipsurfPipeline #Chiptune #Chipsurf

Wonderful video which continues on from his last ones about physical media and why it's making a small but notable comeback: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjso... For us, I've been already considering the value of physical releases of our work. Very likely we'll be doing something soon! - Tim #Spotify

Listening to Enigma: Cross of Changes on CD (while on my physical media kick). Ooof. I didn't realize SIlent Warrior would have parallels to 2025.... - Tim

The instrumental one with the cowbell victimcache.bandcamp.com/track/e-v-o-... #MusicSky #Instrumental #Synthwave #AlienMe

What a great day it's been! Started with that amazing article about my WaveBoy on Sonicstate and then, after months, I finally think I nailed all the sax parts to one of our upcoming Synthwave songs! - Tim

Look who wrote an article about Tim's Eurorack module! The band is mentioned in it too! Holy crap!

For fellow musicians as well as listeners, which physical media formats do you prefer (either to offer as a musician or to listen to as a listener)? We're pondering formats for our previous and current albums and are curious. #Music #Media #Merch #MusicFormats

Need some angsty Chipsurf? We've got you covered! victimcache.bandcamp.com/track/space-... #Chipsurf #SpaceHatchet #Chiptune #Surf #Bandcamp #MusicSky #DMG-001 #GameBoy

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

Band practice quote of the day: Tim: You know, for organicism John: ....ok?
