1. Album concept
= = = = = = = = =

Nada-nada yang di buat dalam kompilasi ini umumnya menggunakan “toys machines” seperti game boy, Nintendo, Atari , dan mainan-mainan klasik lainnya yang mengingatkan kita pada masa dimana super Mario dan Donkey Kong berjaya melawan musuh-musuhnya. Ada juga beberapa software yang di gunakan atau beberapa efek game klasik untuk menciptakan nada atau visual game itu sendiri.

Kompilasi ini di buat untuk memperkenalkan kepada orang luas tentang games music (8bit music/chip tune music). Di buat dengan penuh suka dan gembira untuk memuaskan hati bagi pribadi maupun orang lain,dengan memperkenalkan juga beberapa artist 8bit music lokal yang mulai bermunculan dan di lihat dari masih sedikitnya orang yang tertarik memainkan musik ini dan audience yang belum cukup banyak tau akan hal ini maka album kompilasi ini di buat. Album kompilasi ini di buat secara power full dan karakter dari setiap band mempengaruhi isi musik itu sendiri agar terlihat lebih catchy dan funny .

Album kompilasi ini diikuti oleh tiga belas 8-bit artis yang tersebar dari seluruh Indonesia, plus penampilan spesial dari Boy Vs Bacteria yang berasal dari Swedia. Kami bagikan gratis, untuk memperluas jangkauan orang untuk memperoleh isi rekaman ini.

8-bit (music)

Jump to: navigation, search
8-bit can refer to a style of electronic music inspired by the sound of old computer consoles from the 8 bit era of video games. This music will often reflect sounds from technology that is seen as primitive or “outdated” such as the Game Boy and home made synthesisers.

Chip tune

Jump to: navigation, search

MOS 6581 and 8580 Commodore 64 SID chipsA chiptune, or chip music, is music written in sound formats where all the sounds are synthesized in realtime by a computer or video game console sound chip, instead of using sample-based synthesis. The “golden age” of chiptunes was the mid 1980s to early 1990s, when such sound chips were the most common method for creating music on computers. In their desire to create a more complex arrangement that the restrictions posed by the medium apparently allowed, composers developed creative approaches when developing their own electronic sounds. This is due to the early computer sound chips having only simple tone and noise generators imposing limitations on the complexity of the sound. The resultant chiptunes sometimes seem harsh or squeaky to the unaccustomed listener. Chiptunes are closely related to video game music. The term has also been recently applied to more recent compositions that attempt to recreate the chiptune sound, albeit with more complex technology.

Game Boy music is a type of chiptune produced using a game system of the Game Boy line. To produce music of the genre, one needs a Game Boy and a cartridge containing the appropriate software. There are several pieces of software available, but most Game Boy musicians use Nanoloop or Little Sound DJ. Other software includes Carillon Editor, Music Box, Pocket Music, the Game Boy Camera, and others. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

(Lyric)
True Love 1980

True love

A silver heart upon a chain
In 1980 was engraved
A heart so innocent
Before you knew a world of pain
Before you learned to be afraid

And lived through times so cruel
But you can start again
For what you mean to me
No words they can explain

I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
We're two fools who stand divided
You and I should be united
True, true love

I watch you dance across the room
Your eyes are closed, so beautiful
You're in another place
The music has enraptured you

So free of cares, I wish that you
Could always feel this way
Oh we can start again
For what you mean to me
I'll never walk away

I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
We're two fools who stand divided
You and I should be united
Don't be scared of your emotions
I will give you my devotion

True, true love

True love

A silver heart upon a chain
In 1980 was engraved
A heart so innocent
Yeah we can start again
For what you mean to me
No-one could take your place

I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
We're two fools who stand divided
You and I should be united

I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
Don't be scared of your emotions
I will give you my devotion
True, true love
