“I Want to Report a Murder”
Posted in Music, Video
Director and friend of the site Russel Rocheleau recently released his music video for the song “I Want To Report A Murder” by Otto Kinzel. The Song is from Otto Kinzel‘s 2011 full-length album “We Are All Doomed: The Zodiac Killer”. Why am I posting you this update? Because I can proudly say, that the Zodiac font featured was created by yours truly, four years ago.
So if you like the video and/or the music, be sure to give a thumbs up or leave a nice comment!

Street Fighter 2 & Not So Much Free Time
Posted in Games, Reports, Seph Carissa / texx sound
So I did it again, but this time with a different game: After ripping the music-instrument samples from F-Zero and creating a soundfont out of it, I attempted just the same with Street Fighter 2 for the Super Nintendo. If you’re looking for some technical insights in Capcom’s SNES music, wanna listen to some music or just the frickin’ download for the soundfont, you’ve come to the right place! -

F-Zero & Too Much Free Time
Posted in Games, Music, Reports, Retro
Today was National Day in Austria and I had some free time on my hands. That’s why I tried hard not to get some work done today. “I’ll be messing around with my Super Nintendo,” I told Conny. And she said “Alright. Have fun with it.” And I did. But in a totally unexpected way. Read on if you want to learn about F-Zero and a little about the making of its music… -

♫ My Friend, the Game Designer
Posted in Games, People, Reports, Seph Carissa / texx sound
A good friend of mine is a game designer who designs actual games, and recently he asked me for one little favor which made me feel honored at first but also a little clueless on second thought, stressed in the process and eventually set me under creative pressure. But in the end everything turned out well… -

BleepCast – Level 8
Posted in BleepCast, Games, People, Retro
Oh my god — it’s a bonus level! It’s a bonus to past BleepCast levels where I want to add a few of things or just pop in particular personal perspectives. And now there’s finally a way to do so! This bonus level deals with some awesome music for the SNES I totally forgot to play; and then there was this… misconception in BleepCast Level 1 that I need to fix — bleep-style! -

BleepCast – Level 7
Posted in BleepCast, Computing, Games, Music, People, Quotes, Retro
This is the BleepCast on Rob Hubbard, part two. Everything you want to know about the man that taught the Commodore 64 to produce grand sound-scapes and catchy tunes amidst the incoherent 8-bit turds coated with incompetence in the early 80′s. We will hear his later music, hear him talk about his time in the US and why he eventually came back. Don’t miss it! -

BleepCast – Level 6
Posted in BleepCast, Games, Music, Quotes, Retro
Two words that describe this and the next BleepCast: Rob Hubbard. The man that taught the Commodore 64 to produce grand sound-scapes and catchy tunes amidst the incoherent 8-bit turds coated with incompetence in the early 80′s. This level is huge, so it’s clipped into two. And you better stock up on extra lives and get ready to enjoy Hubbard’s music, hear Hubbard’s voice and lean about the man in a tenaciously researched podcast. This is part one. -

BleepCast – Level 5
Posted in BleepCast, Films, Games, Retro, Seph Carissa / texx sound
The BleepCast inspects covers, remixes and de-makes of our favorite tunes in the last 30 years in this level and asks how everything started, how it evolved and where it all went. This is a broad topic and so there’s no screwing around: This BleepCast hits you massively with 50 minutes of pure nerdsound, spoken and played alike. And the best of all: You’ll love it! I’m happy, Bob! -

BleepCast – Level 4
Posted in BleepCast, Games, Retro
This is a rather personal episode of the BleepCast and deals with the first games I had been playing when I was a little kid and how my love for chipmusic eventually evolved over the years. I take you back to the 1980′s once again: You know the time, but most of you won’t know the place: My brain. Enjoy music from the C64, early PCs and some ramblings from my youth. If you don’t like it… then you’re a poo-poo-head! -

BleepCast – Level 3
Posted in BleepCast, Computing, Games
This all new episode of the BleepCast deals with gamifications of great movie scores. If you were already alive in the 80′s, going to the movies or just watching classic flicks from the 80′s on your VCR you probably had once the urge to become Indiana Jones, Marty McFly or Luke Skywalker yourself. Then you just had to go out (yes, I know, that’s the hardest part in the life of a nerd) and get yourself one of the games that had licensed movie content among them, and usually some crappy game as well. Although sometimes you would be surprised by actually real good games…
