Wait, isn't there something like a summer break for this guy ever?!
Nope. 'cuz summer 🌞 time is…
Radio Irrtum! SPECIAL time!
↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓
Precisely said, the next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will be on air this Saturday, 2024/07/06, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time, sharp. Over at Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz and DAB+ K7D around Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio/15-live-auf-91.0 .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground to raise your attention for new unheard #music. So it's fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the music!
And this time there is a Special rolling in! The…
Chiptune PuNk Special!!
Up to date helluva #phunky #demoscene #chiptunes running on old rusty #homeComputers from the 80s like the #zxSpectrum, #C16/#Plus4, #AtariST, #C64 and of course the #Amiga.
No additional effects, no extra synths, no added drums. Just pure chippy bless!
Music full of #bitrot sample aliasing & strange chirps on brutally tackled chips like the #TED, #YM2149, #SID, and of course #Paula. No worries, I'll explain it all (however in German – as my station demands it).
With super cool music hackers like…
- @ne7
- Shiru
- @h0ffman
- STU (didn't know him when I produced this show 4 weeks ago – just found his music excellent. However this weekend I was performing next to him on stage in La Chaux-de-Fonds (not kidding - life is sometimes full of surprises) - AND WHAT A SET HE DID, LIVE on his 2 original Atari STs!!)
- LMan
- Jammer
- @bacalao
- Groo
- Xale or
- Psych858o
I've always wanted to produce THIS FEATURE and now it's right there, already uploaded to the station and ready 2 hit the aether. I'm totally happy how it came out and can't wait to have it in public. That is why I'll attach my in depth explanation trailer instead of just the animated Radio Irrtum! logo. This one: https://video.ploud.fr/w/iDTikV3q7y5YqeY2LBdLwn
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Radio Irrtum! Chiptune Special
Diesen Samstag, 06.07.2024, 20 Uhr auf Alex Berlin, in/um Berlin auf FM 91.0 MHz und DAB+ K7D + weltweit im Stream (s.o.).
Brandaktuelle echte unverfälschte Chiptunes (kein Hall, keine extra Drums, keine extra Samples) auf alter Hardware der 80er, die auf deart absurde Weise durchgehacked wird (code only!), dass sie jetzt definitiv nicht mehr so klingt, wie ursprünglich gedacht – dafür aber major phunky! ;)
Details auf englisch oben, Playlist + Sendemanuskript nach der Sendung hier drunter und wenn ich mir was wünschen darf: Euch als Zuhörer:innen obendrauf. Danke Euch und vielleicht bis zum Samstag Abend…

New: I've analysed the source code for all 9 versions of Elite on the 6502, and I've put together a family tree showing the decade-long forking history of the source.
Software archaeology in action! 😀

35 Jahre Pixelstaub: Eine Reise durch meine Hardwaregeschichte
47 Jahre sind eine lange Zeit. Ein Thema begleitet mich aber jetzt ungefähr schon seit 35 Jahren und ein Ende ist noch nicht in Sicht. Videospiele und ihre Hardware.
