NICE! I want to hear the TI-83 tune. I'll admit, until I started listening to the tunes you were posting I hadn't heard of chip-tunes, thanks for that.

This talk brought my appreciation for the genre (I mean instrument) to another level. I hadn't realized the DIY aspect; people building their instruments.

It was great that he waited until the 4:30 mark until playing any music, nice to get the description tease and then he doesn't disappoint with the music. Pretty bad ass.

To a lot of people watching though it may just seem like a dude playing the guitar over a sequenced part that was pre-recorded. For sake of the presentation, it may make more sense to not have the guitar.

But, then we get to see him creating a sound and that was really cool. An entirely new world to me. It's definitely a lot to do with programming as well as musicianship.

"It would be very difficult to create that sound on any other platform" -This is an important point. These sounds do sound extremely unique and evoke an emotion that is all their own.

Thanks for sharing. Tell your friend I said, "great talk."
