I'm proud to announce my 5th album, Silicon Statue, is available for purchase now @ Bleep Bop Records!



From the liner notes: Silicon Statue erects a musical homage to days long gone, with an intense crispness that immerses the listener in a world of magic and mystery. Silicon Statue is incredibly diverse in tone and timbre, keeping the listener's ears alert and their heart's happy. Silicon Statue was made with the Famitracker and uses only the original NES chipset.



Here are three songs for your listening pleasure. Use the coupon code: NAmember for a 50% discount for the album purchase!



Thank you for your continued support and job opportunities! Last year I had the opportunity to compose for xmas 2013 as well as the upcoming homebrew "the Grind." I've already begun work on my next project, so stay tuned to Bleep Bop Record's website for updates!

Sounds good man. Have you ever considered doing limited cartridge runs of your albums. It would be cool to release like 30 carts or something with each album release.

funny you should say that, what. I was considering releasing my first 5 as an over-ambitious set of carts entitled "retrospectivity."

I've even gone so far as to make labels

Screw it, I'll start a new thread and maybe get some folks on board. I like the idea of making carts like Vegavoxes to give folks some graphics to go along with the music. I've been working with nesst and have my opening tiles splash made-

as with any homebrew project, there's a massive void between idle talk and pressing boards. For now, eh, I pressed this as mp3s and move on.
