The 16 bit generation brough sample playback to devs working on the SNES. This opened up a new field of possibilities for soft music that was simply impossible on the NES. What did they do with this ability?
Let’s take a listen.

it shone bright only for a moment was composed for the UCF New Music Ensemble concert, FREE VERSE, at UCF Celebrates the Arts. Each composer for the concert wrote a line to a poem, which became the title of their piece.

When I came up with the line “it shone bright only for a moment,” I found two interpretations:

The first is that our lives are nothing but short blips in the timeline of the universe. Yet, to us, our lives are bright and vivid, filled with unique stories and experiences, both good and bad.

The second interpretation was from my friend, Bec, who related it to a specific feeling: you want to experience happiness, but you’re scared it’ll be short- lived, and you’ll return to a dull and sad place. You can try to enjoy the happy moments, but the anxiety of what could be is always there.

For this piece, I took elements of both interpretations, and tried to capture the feeling of trying your hardest to hold onto fleeting moments for as long as you can. I also tried to paint the image of an old light bulb flickering on, only to shine brightly one last time.

Originally created as my 1st ever 'BishBattle' for @welcome2bishu's stream. 
Original Title: (My First Bish' [BishBattle - "Future Tone Dubstep"] (7 19 23)

Each participant was given a few sounds from a sample pack and 2 hours to complete a 45 second track.

I wound up extending it and including it on my STORAGE SPACE 'B-SIDES' EP.

Event: 音電Opening Night! @ or TOKYO (2023-09-17)

9月17日、渋谷MIYASHITA PARK内「or TOKYO」にて開かれたSHIBUYA PIXEL ART 2023のオープニングイベント、「音電Opening Night!」 のMIXに、当日どうしてもかけたかった曲（14）を追加しました。
チップチューン、チップミュージックと一口に言っても、実機を基準に置く制作や演奏環境がより相対化され、より漠然とした、かつニッチなジャンルになりつつあるようです。このMIXでは、過去約十年の「Chiptune」とタグ付けされた幅広いトラックから選曲しています。nanoloopのようなソフトウェアを用いた曲もあれば、参照する「実機」が何か不明なDAWトラックも含まれます。
Blip FestivalやSquare Soundのような大きなイベントではチップミュージックとダンスミュージックの接合が多く見られ、当時はとりわけダブステップをよく耳にしました。チップチューン・パーティがさらに稀少化し、コロナ禍も到来することで、「フロア」からやや遠ざかってしまったかに見えるこのシーンに、ダンスという文脈を今一度持ち込みたく、後半はJuke/Footworkが多めになっています。

SHIBUYA PIXEL ART is the biggest annual Shibuya-based pixelart event in Japan and this year it also had the opening party called Onden 音電. Pixelart is often related to chip sounds and some performers at the event were in the chip scene in a borad sense. So this party reminded me Blip Festival and Square Sounds and I wanted to play modern danceable chiptunes under the context.
Although Dubstep was a strong option in the chip scene before, Juke/Footwork was comparatively minor then. I think little-scale is one of the pioneering musician who tried to make Juke/Footwork chipmusic. That is why the latter hald of the mix includes his track and devoted to the genre.
