Is this considered Chipmusic?

Yes, that is most definitely chipmusic! It's most likely "fakebit" (composed with low-bit samples on a computer), but that doesn't mean it isn't chip.
I'll add a section to the OP about what is and isn't chipmusic soon.
I like the J Arthur keenes band
Not really 100% chiptune but it counts right?
A lot of chipmusic isn't composed exclusively with low-bit sounds. You may be familiar with Anamanaguchi - as far as I know they've three guitarists, a drummer, an NES,
and resources on par with Batman. And
One of my all-time favorites was composed with a Game Boy and violin samples.
And it looks like that album was released under the 8bitpeoples netlabel - the holiest of all chip netlabels - too, so that's a good sign. Thanks for the share! I liked it. :3
Finally, a chiptunes thread! A lot of great artists you got up there
My favorite artists (no particular order)
The list goes on... I know I've got lots more on my iPod, I would consider myself a "collector" of sorts.
Hopefully we can keep it alive. :p Good artists! It seem's I've been listening to quite a bit of an0va recently myself. His set at BRK was pretty great, and he
just released an EP today.
<3 i love chiptune
i used to make chiptunes but i wasn't very good at it. i made one decent six second jingle loop thing but everything else was terrible
What did you use to compose it? I'm not very familiar with PC-based trackers or samples from anything other than the Nintendo consoles, the Atari, and the Sega Genesis.
This was a well made OP. Good Job
Thank you very much! <3
i don't make chiptune, I loop music that's already made. Idk how i'm included in this but okay lol
Welcome aboard. :p
Dualtrax & Artfx! - Coastline
Mark 'TDK' Knight - Hoovering with a Hangover
Twistboy - Springs
pretty sure these all count as chiptune, i'm still a bit new to the genre.
Yessir! Coastline (which I've listened to
several times now lol) and
maybe the second are fakebit, but they're still chip! The third one was definitely composed on a Game Boy. And both the second and third are
Chip = Win tracks. :o
Anybody who isn't familiar with Chip = Win should definitely check them out! Their second annual release had a grand total of 52 tracks, each composed by a different artist. It's hot stuff.
tomorrow afternoon i'll try to remind myself to post a few really really good tunes i picked up around soundcloud
after your (end's) megapost of chiptunes in that previous thread (that megapost exists as a part of this OP now for those of you who didn't see it), i was inspired to scrounge every corner of the internet for as many chiptunes as possible. i've been playing video games, talking to friends, posting on this forum, eating, breathing, whatever, all while listening to this stuff for the past three weeks.
holy stuff when i type it out i realize how crazy i am
