Hello /links people, hope your week is going well. Here's the podcast I usually post on here on a Sunday. The theme this time is BlipBlop, otherwise known as Bitpop or Chiptunes (and quite possibly a number of other things) - it's a new type of music, but also a (slightly) old one. The idea is to make music using outdated consoles and computers. Bit Shifter, for example, composes entirely on the Nintendo Game Boy. Strict restrictions on creativity like this are counter-intuitive - the more you are handicapped, the more you think of clever ways to get around problems. Having said that, some of the tracks and artists here stray a fair bit from that idea. But you get the point. Strangely enough it was through /links that I found out about all this in the first place, when someone posted the Bit Shifter track.
Anyway, enjoy!
