How to bass bomb

How we make these silly videos. #DogButt #Video8 #SonyPVM #Lumix #Chipsurf #Chiptune #BTS

Our cover of Wily's Fortress: Stage 1 during band practice today. #chiptune #surfrock #retrograming

Tim attempts to label our press kit CD like it's the 90s. #bandlife #chiptune #surfrock #originalmusic

Yesterday is today and today is the future...or something. - Tim

I finally broke down and grabbed some DIYRE gear in prep for some mastering work for some chipsurf and industrial songs. Here's my EQP5 that I'm about 80% done building. - Tim #DIYRE #EQP5 #Pultec #500Series

Tim's been working hard on his WaveBoy and he just busted out firmware version 0.70 (which adds the new Jenny mode that we'll likely be using for our live shows!)

0.70 in action. Showing off the new Jenny mode with Internal Slew into the other WB running the realtime delay. Yummy! #WaveBoy #Slew #PWM #Folding #Modular #Chiptune #Eurorack

Been working hard on the new firmware and I'm super excited to use this rig for our next show! - Tim

Tim's finally doing it! Probably. This is going to sting but we've been wanting to try the 73P and EQP5 for a few years now and as we've been getting more and more analog for our mixing/mastering, now seems like the time. #DIYRE #73P #EQP5

Tim spent yesterday evening properly recording some #GameBoy bits for several upcoming #chipsurf songs! #DMG-001 #Chiptune #ArduinoBoy

Tim's Chipsurf Live Eurorack build! Using 2 of his own WaveBoy's, Univer Iter MIDI-CV, 2HP LFO, Befaco Slew, Veils VCA, and Doepfer Wasp filter in a neon green acrylic case with purple 3D printed plastics. We're calling it the Donatello. #WaveBoy #Chipsurf #Chiptune #Eurorack

Planning out a 42HP case if we decide to add WaveBoys into our live set. WB can do slew, LFO but since I haven't made a "WB Advance" yet, I can only modulate 1 thing via CV and being able to control those from my keyboard is important. 2nd WB is for the bassbomb because of course. - Tim #WaveBoy

For folks that missed us at CGF or want to have a memento of the performance, we plan on releasing some of the songs on a special live album hopefully in the next week or so. #ClassicGameFest #ChipsurfPipelineLive #Chiptune #Surf #LiveShow

Thanks to the folks that watched our set yesterday! Massive thanks to #ClassicGameFest for having us and all the other musicians and acts there! Thanks to everyone who came to CGF at large. We are already planning on being back next year!

Worth pointing out, we made Chipsurf Pipeline is available on CD this year! Full professionally made stamped CDs! Available on our website but we'll also have some with us tomorrow at #ClassicGameFest! #CGF2026 #CD

Getting in some solo practice before the big show! Just 2 more days until we'll be raging awesome #chipsurf at #ClassicGameFest! - Tim

3 days!

4 days! (We're on at 10am on Saturday!) #ClassicGameFest

5 days until! #ClassicGameFest

6 days until! #ClassicGameFest

Less than a week!

Preparations are going well for #ClassicGameFest 2026! This song is one we're REALLY excited about and are going to keep it under wraps until CGF. Wanna hear it? Join us there July 24-26! #AnaloguePocket #LSDJ #Chiptunes #Chipsurf

John's pedal board is complete! Probably. #ClassicGameFest is coming up fast! We hope to see you there!

Our upcoming album, The Social Machine, is more relevant now than ever (and we are getting ever-closer to releasing it). It doesn't mean we can't still enjoy some things when they happen. That rocket launch was pretty awesome!!! #ToTheMoon can hopefully now be a better thing than it was.

Tim's setup when he's practicing our chipsurf songs on piano to work out the finger muscles. He'll be playing on his MidiBox SammichSID for the live shows, including CGF. Reminder CGF is in Austin in July! Hope to see you there! #Practice #Piano #AnaloguePocket

Practicing for band practice tomorrow! #ClassicGameFest is coming up fast! - Tim

Tim screwing around with tape! #GameBoy #FPGBC #Marantz #Uher #TapeDelay #ChipSky

It lives! Tim's new #FPGBC assembled and ready to rock for #ClassicGameFest! We'll likely bring the OG DMG-001 too but this sounds pretty darn good and, importantly, it's backlit (and also a pretty good FPGA implementation). Tim's Analogue Pocket will be for playing NSFs. #GameBoyColor #LSDJ

Back from my day job business trip with a few orders to fulfill! But as teased, here's a video showing off TurboWave and TurboTracker using several PCM samples (and a few wavetables) #TurboWave #TurboTracker #CommanderX16 #Chiptune #ChipSky #Wavetables

Just chillin' editing one of our Chipsurf songs for our upcoming live shows! - Tim #ClassicGameFest #Famitracker #Chiptunes #Wine

TIL the Analogue Pocket can play NSFs! This opens up a lot of options for our live shows! This is the NES part of the title song off our first Chipsurf album, Chipsurf Pipeline (now made available on CD!) #Chipsurf #Chiptune #AnaloguePocket #NSF #NES

It's official! We'll be playing on the main stage at this year's Classic Game Fest! CGF is July 24-26th in Austin, TX. We hope to see you there! We hope you like chipsurf! #CGF2026 #ClassicGameFest #Chipsurf #Chiptunes #chipsky #musicsky

At LONG last, Tim finally got his MB6582 working well enough to actually put the case screws in. It's not perfect - only channel 3 has populated SIDs at the moment, but it does everything it needs to. #MidiBox #SID #MB6582

Ya'll know what day it is! It's #BandcampFriday! Now's a great time to support your favorite bands! Especially while AI tries to gobble up all our souls.

What on Earth were we doing yesterday!?

We've got some pretty exciting news to hopefully share soon! A hint, if you're going to be around Austin,TX in July, you may want to prepare your ear holes from some chipsurf! #Chipsurf #July #Austin #Chiptunes #8bit

I like watching Chernobyl (HBO Miniseries) about once a year. At one point, they use the term "bio-robots" (humans). Given the human population is rapidly growing, it seems weird to use AI to displace jobs when there are increasingly more people by the second that need jobs. - Tim #ShowerThoughts

Need something lighter instead of our dystopian industrial album? Don't forget Chipsurf Pipeline is now on CD! www.victimcache.com/product/chip... victimcache.bandcamp.com/album/chipsu... More chipsurf coming soon! #Chiptunes #ChipSky #8bit #Chipsurf #Surf #CompactDisc #PhysicalMedia #NES #GB

We finally had our first band practice of 2026! Been a scheduling mess but we got there! We're almost finished with the last couple of songs for the album, The Social Machine. It has turned into a history lesson vs a cautionary tale but we're nonetheless proud of it.

Yet another attempt with dreaming about my ideal patchbay setup where I am in an analog/digital hybrid utopia. - Tim #StudioPlanning

Our practice plans fell through today. Been a bit of a drought between holidays and winter bugs. But on the bright side I have a pretty big window of opportunity to record some piano parts for one of our upcoming songs. - Tim #LemonadeFromLemons

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

We're only nine days into 2026...

We spent a good chunk of band practice working on the final song on our upcoming album. We ran through the whole thing at the end of practice, and after, John simply leaned back, looked at the ceiling and simply said "...wow..." Take that for what you will :) #BandPractice
