Chiptune forward

Post by superkons » Thu Oct 10, 2024 5:41 am

The countless hours I spent playing games on the Commodore 64 and the Nintendo Entertainment Systems (NES) certainly paid off in the long run as my tuen "Riding the Clouds" was forwarded for the below listing:

Tons of POSITIVE CHIPTUNE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a well-established Los Angeles-based production house/library with a long track record of tv, film, and advertising placements.

This Company is searching for Up-Tempo Instrumentals that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following examples:

"Bonk (You Got Bonked)" by Starship Amazing

"Petriform" by M-Wave

"If I Sing in the Sky" by Studio Megaane

Quoting the VP of the Company: "We are looking for fun, happy, upbeat, and positive sounding Chiptune Instrumentals. (8/16 bit) They must be up-tempo (fast or very fast) and they must be full arrangements with an 8/16-bit rhythm section being mandatory. No single line or single instrument tracks will work. Catchy earworm melody lines and grooves/riffs are a huge plus. We are open to hybrid arrangements that incorporate other instrumentation out of era. We're not going for historically accurate here, it's all about the fun vibes, but Chiptune sounds must be prominent."

Please submit original Chiptune Instrumentals with loads of energy and a happy, emotionally upbeat vibe! Your submissions should include positive-sounding motifs, great compositions, fun melodies, energetic rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best, and 8/16 bit chiptune needs to be predominantly featured as the main instrument. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are genre-appropriate. Original compositions only! (No covers please!)

P.S.: I still play Commodore 64 games on an emulator :P
