You can't go wrong with a Pixies cover. Fantastic work.

WOOT PIXIES!

May I ask, respectfully, what the point of all this work is?


I would guess that the point was the challenge of reproducing a very popular song in a seemingly restrictive format. Like a sidewalk chalk drawing of the Mona Lisa, or a Lego version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa - to approach what is widely regarded as a great piece of art (in this case, modern music) and to pay homage to it in a format not envisioned by the original artist.

8-bit?
Don't think so.


The samples used are digitized and not FM synth which is usually what is implied when people say 8 bit chip tunes, but the samples are indeed 8bit. They also usually range from 8-22khz and are uncompressed. I think the only mod formats that support 16bit samples were XM and I think mtm (When I last looked up the scene, I saw that one of the formats was upgraded to support full 16 bit stereo samples).

Meh, I'm not impressed. 67 votes? really? I have a shit load of mods (mod, it, mtm, xm, s3m) which are alot better. -_-


We all like The Pixies.

What's the point of creating any art?


@Sarzy
There is clearly a difference between converting a pre existing thing into another format at grate effort v not making any art at all.



Nothing wrong with doing this project and it can be nice to hear or see preexcisting things in another format or way. Personally id rather just hear new chip music if sum one is going to go to the effort of replotting all the notes into a software package. but hay whatever so long as the person making this enjoyed doing and didn't harm any one in the process who cares.

@ Shuac , As for why sum-one would do this Allot of people like chip tune music , this is most probably because people seem to build up a nostalgia for chip music as its what they hurd as they grew up and its also quite popular at this point in time to make chip tune / pixel art / lofi versions of things as enoughf time has passed from when they were main stream.

I think people in general like to do obscure versions of things just out of interest its often fun to see how different a recognizable tune can be when played with another instrument or different context allowing you to Enjoy something. Id quite like to hear a Tovan throught singing version of Bohemian Rhapsody

oh and obviously some people just like chip tune music in general as some people like specific instruments or arangments , and that would nacesitate people remix , remake songs in a format that alows them to most enjoy it.

Creating something impressive whilst working within a very strict and consistent set of constraints can be pretty fun, especially when there is a community of folks doing the same thing.

You know, that ain't half bad actually. I was expecting my ears to be raped.


I know, it caught me by surprise too!

It's because it's Bassnectar. The guy is the most stereotypical boring example of pretty much every genre he tries.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Banal electronic or hip hop re-imaginings of great tunes is a personal pet peeve. By all means, indulge in unimaginative synth noodling all you like, but leave the Pixies out of it.

I can imagine an awesome dubstep version of this song, but it doesn't sound like this. This fucking sucks.

Subjective as it is, I'm disinclined to agree with you.

Somebody needs to do a dubstep playlist by the way.


Your wish is my command:
http://videosift.com/playlists/LarsaruS/Dubstep

So far only the videos with Dubstep in the tags is in. There are probably more in the sift so feel free to link em or something so I can add them in there. Also if you feel that something that is in there isn't dubstep tell me and I'll remove it...
