Chiptunes Podcast

microphone
I have a confession to make, this is an old podcast. But it was brought to my attention today on Small World Podcast. The episode, which originally aired on solipsistic NATION, goes into a bit of the history of chip tunes and synths.

Chiptune is music written in sound formats where the sounds are synthesized by a computer or video game console sound chip. The so-called “golden age” of chiptunes was the mid 1980s to early 1990s, when such sound chips were the only way for creating music on computers.

Sorry for the old news, but as the podcast says, the holidays make for slow news. Have a good weekend, everybody.
