Group Leader:
"...a chiptune is any synthetic music which is produced by or with simple, popular electronic devices such as vintage family computers or entertainment consoles. almost every older computer and gaming console had its own microchip used to produce sound, these simple synthesizers have been pushed to the limits by composers to create sound effects or try to imitate analogic instruments. the lack of possibilities of these early sound chips was a great motivation for originality. technical limits were close boundaries, and the trick was to find a way to get over them... each personality developed its own tricks resulting in a limitless originality, and that wide range of styles is one of the main interests of the chiptunes."--Trez & Brioche
