If you are a big chiptune nut, you’ve probably heard me make mention of “Chiptunes = WIN,” a chip appreciation group that has released three free collections of original chiptune music over the past year: the originalChiptunes = WIN,ChipWIN Expansion Pack, andchipWINter. Many artists were assembled to make these projects a reality, and fearless ChipWIN leader Brandon Hood couldn’t be more pleased with the reception. I mean, it’s literally hours of awesome bleeps and bloops. Whowouldn’tbe excited by this stuff?
The next little treat in the pipeline isChiptunes = WTFLOL, a six-track EP set to be released after the listening party on8bitX‘s “8 Bit Power Hour,”starting right now at 8:00 PM ESTwhich is now over. In a wild twist, this album doesnotfeature any chiptunes. Rather, six popular videogame music arrangers have selected six tracks from the past three ChipWIN releases to cover in their own signature styles.
The arrangers includeFinal Fantasycover bandThe World Is Square,The OneUps‘Tim Yarbrough,Jameson Sutton,VikingGuitar,Metroid Metal‘s Stemage, andpost-rockZeldaalbum performerCory Johnson. Nice spread there, no? Go cop it at the link below!
