Revision as of 11:54, 9 January 2006 by 81.130.204.92 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Gameboymusic is music that is produced with (surprise!) a gameboy. To do so, one just needs a gameboy and a cartridge containing the appropriate software. There are several pieces of software available, but most gameboy musicians use nanoloop or little sound dj.
Nanoloop was programmed by Oliver Wittchow, a German artstudent. The userinterface is very minimal and quite different to "normal" musical userinterfaces.
LittleSoundDJ (LSDj) was programmed by Johan Kotlinski, who lives in Stockholm. Littlesounddj is a kind of 4 track tracker. Most of the more technically interested gameboy musicians use this software.
The gameboymusic-scene is quite small and spread around the world and includes several signed professional musicians, mostly from the noise and experimental electronica scenes.
