A chiptune musician and filmmaker from the lovely state of New Jersey. I make funky tracker music with a Nintendo Game Boy and a Dirtywave M8 Tracker. I also work as a video editor and motion graphics designer while moonlighting as a reasonably competent filmmaker. Tracker chiptunes to divert the Evil Eye. Funky grooves to de-weaponize the universe at war with you. Ambient music to quell early 21st Century paranoia. Don't forget your complimentary motel bath towel....

I'm headed there now to get the download!!
Thank you!
I love the progression with those pulse arps toward the end! :D
Very good tune
Thanks so much!
👏👏👏
❤❤❤
A monster of a track!!
Thanks! ❤
Lovely sounds, nice gameboy too, love the buttons.
Thank you!
Found this by looking at M8 tracks, and realized we follow each other on SoundCloud lmao
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE SUBSCRIBED FOR!
Move over chiptune, it’s time for quality sports content
Killer! This one gets right to business, no faffing about 💪🏻
It does! Thanks for listening!
A song of mine that needed a video….❤
Neuromancer changed my life. Your album makes it even better. 🔥 Thank you for sharing this brilliant work ❤🙏
Thank you - your words mean a lot to me. Neuromancer changed my life too because it cemented in me a love of books and also because the story, even if I pick it up now, 28 years after my initial reading, it transports me to the exact same places it did when I was young. The same rooms with the same light. The chatsubo looks the same, so does Villa Straylight - it’s a window to another time in my life. The past displayed through the lens of the future. And its message and power still resonates 40 years after it was published. Part of me wishes William Gibson would try his hand at another book written from a single characters perspective similar to Neuromancer and Pattern Recognition. Thanks for listening and be sure to pick up the free album download linked in the description.
This could win quite a few chip-tune compos (maybe it did?). Well done!
Thank you for the kind sentiment! It was a weeklybeat in 2022 so this version was made in a week in my spare time. I never entered it in any compos but it went over well. I think this is my best-performing video on YT. Thanks again for listening!
Very cool! Now I need a whole album of this
Thank you! That might take me a while sort of recovering from my last project
Wow... inspired and a little in awe x
Thank you! ❤
Just finished re-reading that book so this is perfect timing...
My favorite book in the world. Hope you enjoy this album!
@@DisposablePlanet it really is the source…feel like we are only a hair away from living in that world for better or worse…
@@trevor_mounts_music You might be onto something. But I for one wouldn’t mind going back to pay phones
So good! This is some talent on display here! Consider me a new fan.
Thank you new fan. Welcome to the Planetoids
Thank you for sharing with us this important album!
It’s my pleasure. Thank you so much for listening!
This album, The Color of Television, is a passion project I’ve been meaning to make for years. It is a love letter to my favorite book and what I consider to be the greatest science-fiction novel of all time… William Gibson’s Neuromancer. The Color of Television was created in a creative frenzy over a period of 10 days. It is structured across 14 tracks, each representing a sharpened tip on a pair of 7-pointed shuriken or Japanese throwing stars (a gift which represents destiny for the main character of the novel). Each of these 14 nodes or points contains a song and a story for a different main character featured in the book (yep, even Ratz is in there somewhere as a DJ). Neuromancer is the first novel to put the literary genre of Cyberpunk on the map, but this album is not created in the style of modern cyberpunk music or synthwave. Simply put, those current musical genres are after my time. Instead I’ve deliberately drawn from my own personal meaning of the retro-future written about in Neuromancer, as well as the nascent computer culture of the time and its collision with the counterculture surrounding it and myself when I first read the novel in 1996 at the age of fifteen. As a result, this album is a voyage across all the things that Neuromancer means to me and how it affected my coming of age and acted as a rite of passage into the shifting and colliding worlds of computers, music, and culture. The album draws from mid to late 1990s influences of the time of my reading and the world of the 2000s that I would, in a few years, be stepping into. It borrows from genres like drumnbass, jungle, and breakbeat, with of course, a healthy fix of demoscene vibes and chiptune elements and a decent hit of punk, metal, ambient, and post-punk flavor. I think you’ll find there is plenty of retrofuturistic feeling to geek out to in this release along with a slight touch of the contemporary. I hope you enjoy this album as much as I enjoyed making it. I also hope that, for a time, it helps you escape this prison of flesh you are forever trapped in, as Case might say.

What the hell? This is actually awesome. Gonna share it around.
Glad I could surprise you
Sounds great man! Is this an LDSJ cartridge or the ROM?
Thank you! At the time I was running this copy of LSDJ off a flash cart so it's just the 9.2.L ROM on an Everdrive X5. The Analogue Pocket has some trouble with some flash carts due to its design so since these recordings I've been running a GBC/GB fpga core with the LSDJ ROMs living on the AP's microSD card with no cartridge inserted. Thanks for listening!
This sounds kick ass!
This is lovely. The musicality and theming are both excellent. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Hey thanks so much! There's plenty of music up here on my youtube and I'm on bandcamp and spotify too so I hope you enjoy!
Congrats on a really excellent album! This is definitely going in the listening rotation. The M8 is my favorite piece of gear.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I love the M8 tracker. It single-handedly got me through the pandemic.
What a treat, fantastic album, so much work here! And no processing, that's how Laama would would roll too ;) And thanks for the book suggestion whenever I finish Robin Hobb's Royal Assassin (which is HUGE) I'll go for it. Thanks a ton for the inspiration
Thanks so much Tristan! When you get the book get the green Penguin Galaxy hardcover reprinting. It’s only 20 bucks and it’s the best version of the book out there with a smooth typeface! Thanks so much for listening and for all your inspiration as well!
wow, WOW, so excited to listen to this and it is blowing me away so far
Thanks for listening! I’m proud of how it came out
This is fantastic work!
Thanks so much
This is incredible. I'm very VERY happy you made this. It's a beautiful homage to the book. I'm sure Ralph and Sandra are immensely proud ❤ Congrats again on the fantastic release.
Awww thank you 😭
I MADE IT, I MADE IT! this is an incredible work and the videos are out of this world! (just kidding, space is 100% fake )
Space is totally fake I agree completely and Neil deGrasse Tyson is actually a disinformation android from the caverns deep in the center of the hollow earth. Thank you!
As a wizard, I approve this message 🍀
This is awesome!! the arpeggio section at 2:20 is insane! EP added to my wishlist!
Thank you! This EP has a special meaning to me. It’s probably my angriest LSDJ stuff usually I’m happy and nostalgic or funky
Gamers need to stop this whole garbage design. If i was abprobgamer, i would use the shittest-looking louse and keyboard, just to piss the gaming world off.
What are you talking about? The M8 user interface?
@@DisposablePlanetI have no idea
@@DisposablePlanet this track is awesome
Amazing 🎉
Thanks so much!
Awesome, thank you very much for this. I definitely prefer the real deal.
Forget the track, what the heck is that mini scope???
That's an awesome comparison. Such a sweet track. The Gameboy does keep up with the Dirtywave, it's sweet that both of them are exactly synced and playing their respective parts well. Awesome track!
As a wizard: i can confirm; this is my groove.
The tune chooses the wizard
This is awesome. I love those "8bitty Arpy" waves. Another spectacular track my friend! That Intro is something special... What a great invitation to an immersive song story.
Thank you! I wanted to make a song that was the opposite of my artist name and this was the result
"PORT OUR LOO" strike again...lol Good track, i see a platformer video game with some neon-fluo colors in my mind hearing this at 2 in the night...
Really f*cking cheesy but I was 18 and my heart was in the right place, so be kind :D or f*ck off Some alien observers decide to create an educational Public Service Announcement targeted at Humankind for the benefit of all other life on the planet. Written, directed, edited, narrated, and also music by Brett Molé (there was simply no one else around to help me at the time). Shot on an old ass Hi-8 video camera and edited in an old ass video editing bay on old ass 3/4 inch video tape way the fuck back in old ass 1999. CGI done in old ass Bryce 3D on an old ass Mac from even before the old ass blue bondi G3’s (i think? My old ass is not even sure). Music is “Sunrise” by Disposable Planet. Happy Earth Day, Planetoids!!!! 👽❤️🌎✌🏼
This might be songs about junk food but your tunes are more like fine dining! Scrumptious! (and incredible attention to detail)
Thanks! Plenty more where that came from! Bon appetit
ToeJam and Earl OST
A compliment of the highest order 🙏🏼
youre goated gj
Thank you! I’ll take it!
Chiptune forever
Indeed. Chiptune forever.
Pretty good bud
Thanks!
Get ready for some funkiness! You may have heard these tunes by themselves over the years. Now they are all in one video where they belong. Cheeseburger Avenue Deluxe (2020), Promenade des Pommes Frites (2022), and Hot Dog Boulevard (2024) - my funky ode to junk food staples now smushed together with melody and bassline tracking action!
🤩🤩🤩
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'd love to get into the world of creating music, and I think this would be a dope place to start. Can you let me know possibly which channels on KZread might be able to help me get started in learning how to code /program chiptunes such as this? I did buy a transparent smoke model AP recently so I'm covered as far as that goes. Everything else though is an absolute foreign language to me lol
You can start by getting a copy of the ROM of Little Sound DJ which you can run on your AP and then checking out tutorials on KZread. I recommend starting with DEFENSE MECHANISM’s channel as he has some amazing LSDJ content for learners of all skill levels. Pain Perdu and LSDJguides has good stuff as well. Also I would first reccomend some basic music tutorials as well if this is your first time making music. It doesn’t hurt to familiarize yourself with a piano roll in a DAW or keyboard IRL either. Just know that beginning to learn electronic music composition with a music tracker as opposed to a DAW is going to be a steep learning curve but not impossible. IMHO the best thing for learning music is an actual instrument however, then translating what you pick up to the computer
Man I was logged to the Dot Matrix of my Gameboy listening to this music! fantastic!
This is awesome!
Hey, thanks a lot!
This is really inspiring stuff! You got a real fan in me homie!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
