about

Randomly generated chiptune music. Soundtracks for games that don't exist.

I wrote a program in GW-BASIC to generate melodies, then compiled it to make the album's name. Each pass generates one melody; I then record and mix them in Audacity, with no editing / processing other than to make sure things line up. It's what 2013's music would sound like in 1985 if 1985 were 2013, or something like that.

I'll be uploading tracks as I create them. Contact me if you'd like the program or the source code.

Also, if you enjoy soundtracks to already-existing games, you might also enjoy *But Our Princess Is in Another Castle,* my collection of prose poems inspired by classic videogames. Check out the third link on the right.
