Doctor Octoroc Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) In a week and a half, I'll be launching a Kickstarter to fund the press of my third album on vinyl - a recreation of the entirety of "Sea Change" by Beck using only a Nintendo and a Gameboy. Previously, I've done "In the Aeroplane Over The Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel and "The Soft Bulletin" by The Flaming Lips, so I'm excited to be doing it again with an album in my personal top 5 of all time. I also liked the challenge of recreating such somber music with heavy lyrics in a genre typically associated with cheery, upbeat tracks. If you're a Beck fan and at least curious about chip-tunes (I know, I know...it's not for everyone), check it out and hit that green 'notify me on launch' button so you'll know when it goes live. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctoroctoroc/c-change-a-chiptune-tribute-to-beck Edited September 14, 2022 by Doctor Octoroc aopps42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Octoroc Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Here's a video of the first cut of the album playing on a turntable I made from a broken NES some years ago to promote my first album (and it's become sort of a tradition at this point). This is a one-off lathed copy but the full press is coming, with your help! Give it a listen and let me know what you think! What's your favorite track from the original album? Do you think I captured the sound and feel of it in this format? Edited September 23, 2022 by Doctor Octoroc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
