Biteration I: Genesis of Consequence

by Inverse Phase

supported by

Glowbush It's fantastic to see various styles brought to live on the Genesis. Poo Poo Platter is my family's favorite because farts are never not funny. Favorite track: Poo Poo Platter.

patriotails I love the genesis Sound library and my adult life with it's "I need an adult" soundbite made me fall in love with it. Favorite track: My Adult Life (radio edit).

Biteration I Cartridge Album FIRST RUN

Plans are underway for a Sega cartridge that contains the entire album with song selector, visuals+onscreen notes about the album, and will play on an actual NTSC Sega Genesis or Mega Drive. We're in the software phase, so some things are up in the air:
- I do not know what style cartridge the PCB will be fitted to.
- Currently not sure about PAL compatibility/support.

I *can* say it will come in a plastic case with a nice color insert that roughly matches the current album art, at least a small manual-style booklet, and full-color custom label. In short: It will fit in with your Sega game collection. =]

Please understand there's a lot going into this project. The release date is made up. It is *already* behind schedule. I'll send an email confirming your address at the time of shipment. Please do not order this cartridge if you can not tolerate a large shipping window. If interest is high, there will be a second run that might be slightly more expensive. I want to reward those that support the project early, especially while some of the specifications of the project are still in flux.

about

In 2015, French indie studio Exquisite Games contacted me. The mission: a soundtrack for a runner game about poop, titled "Where's My Mommy?" I double-checked chiptunes were indeed what they wanted for their game, and quickly realised FM would be perfect since it produces what I lovingly refer to as "farty bass".

The game is now available on Steam! Pick it up here:
store.steampowered.com/app/423610/

While working on the OST, I pondered the many ways to categorize/sort musical works so they can be released in a meaningful way. I've tried a few. Now I'm trying something new; As a chiptune guy I hope to group original tracks by the systems they were done on, so I can release more cartridge albums. The result is what I'm calling the "Biteration" series of albums.

Biteration I is my foray into working more closely with the Sega Genesis (or MegaDrive to those not in the US) from 1989. The system features a Yamaha OPN2 (YM2612), a six-channel four-operator FM synth chip, paired with an SN76489/96, the PSG from the Sega Master System that features three square waves and white noise.

My goal is arguably the same as many chip musicians; to get new and interesting sounds out of the chip in an enjoyable way. FM can produce complex voices compared to its PSG predecessors. I'm shooting for a middle ground of sorts; let's appreciate sounds of the chip's heyday but also create new instruments and sounds that you might think are coming out of a modern DAW. Don't be fooled, however! This album is no Sonikku work. There is no postprocessing. I prefer to master the old fashioned chiptune way: Inside the track. Everything you hear is possible on a single Sega console.
