oxykitten as inspiration for chiptune project

i should point out that some of these chiptune things i'm cleaning up are from as far back as '97. i hit an apex in the style around '02, and then sort of faded out of it in favour of building a sort of guitar-driven electro sound, as explored in my 'tetris' project. i also had to x a bunch of the stuff under pressure from collaborators, as they thought it sounded 'too cheesy'.

the reason i'm doing this now is that i'm realizing i have enough material in the style to put together into an lp. it's a convenient way to order things.

that being said, here's a recent act in the style that's had an effect on me.
