Doctor Octoroc Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) A little over a year ago I launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the vinyl press of a chiptune cover album which recreates the entirety of "The Soft Bulletin" using only a Nintendo and a Gameboy. Unfortunately, COVID hit the world hard during the month the campaign was live and I had to cancel the project. I recently relaunched the campaign and we're currently at 71% funded with three weeks left! I know chiptunes isn't everyone's jam but I thought some people might enjoy it. I got in touch with Scott Booker (band manager) to approve the use of the band's likeness for various campaign-exclusive rewards and sent him the final cut which he shared with the band. Wayne Coyne said he dug the arrangements! Edited May 26, 2021 by Doctor Octoroc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is definitely a step up from RP2A, arrangement-wise. Adding the Gameboy really fills the sound stage in a way that the NES can't do on it's own. It helps that the Gameboy can do stereo so I take full advantage of that for songs like "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" with the 'mouth drums' in the beginning. For the next project (I've already started laying down tracks) I'm adding a Commodore 64 which brings that much more to the table. I'll be doing "Sea Change" by Beck. But first thing's first, I need to get this one funded, pressed and sent out to backers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
