Ah, the humble Gameboy. As well as revolutionising portable gaming, Nintendo\u2019s wonder device provided us with such classics as Pokemon Yellow and Tetris and is so sturdy it\u2019s known to have survived a Gulf War barracks bombings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameboy Beginnings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The original Gameboy persists in the minds of many who were invigorated by it\u2019s wonder as a child, but you may be shocked to learn that the pocket powerhouse is now a bona fide piece of musical equipment, responsible for an entire genre of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine if you will, you\u2019re waiting with your drink in a sold-out venue, and a band arrives on stage holding Game Boys and fiddling with Commodore consoles. If you\u2019re a Chip music fan, this isn\u2019t too far from a good Friday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Chiptune work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chip music artists use tracker software to basically hack old consoles and turn them into instruments. The Game Boy\u2019s known software is called Little Sound DJ, and it contains \u201c59 phonemes for programmable speech,\u201d as well as drum kits sampled from iconic machines, including 707s, 808s and more. You can create a MIDI interface with it if you want to. For an example, here\u2019s Jamiroquai\u2019s \u201cVirtual Insanity\u201d recreated via a hacked Game Boy. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You basically turn the sound chip within the console into an instrument that you can control and modify to create tunes that sound unmistakably like soundtracks from the back catalogue of said device. It\u2019s an incredible way to keep the memory of old consoles alive and create new and exciting audio-visual experiences long after they\u2019ve been forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have an old Game Boy lying around, consider looking into the modding and hacking scene if you\u2019re musically minded. You can even emulate the ROM of LSDJ on your PC if you don\u2019t want to buy admittedly expensive old kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chiptune in the mainstream<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ever since the dawn of hacked console & user-generated video game music in the 70s and 80s, Chip music has exploded, spawning a variety of genres form Nintendocore to Complextro and Bitpop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just last week American boy band Anamanaguchi released their third album [USA] to rave reviews. They\u2019re known for using hacked NES and Game Boy consoles in their music similar to the style mentioned above, yet they also incorporate more standard instrumentation via guitar and drums, creating a Chiptune sound influenced by pop-rock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a fascinating mix and explains why they stand out so clearly as Chiptune\u2019s major modern trailblazers. Check out their single Air On Line <\/a>which has remarkable retro influence from the 70s right through to the early 00s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See if you can spot notes of Spyro, Zelda, Final Fantasy and the ethereal vocoders that come together with the physical drums and guitars to create a mystifying song that homages the past whilst being grounded in the present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a fascinating field of music that is dying to be explored by video game fans. If you often listen to retro soundtracks on YouTube whilst you work, consider looking into artists like Anamanaguchi, Toby Fox, Chipzel and Sabrepulse that twist your beloved OSTs into their own special art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
