Episode #30: Bits and Chips

It's all about nostalgia and limitation as Mike chips away (ahhh?!?!?) at the world of chiptunes music. If you played video games years and years ago, you'll hear a set of sounds that will be completely familiar, even when used in unfamiliar compositional genres. Mike explores the anatomy of chiptunes sounds and composition, and looks into chiptunes' relationship to hacking and the counterculture.

The latest episode of Reasonably Sound seems very interstitial to me. Or, it’s about the interstitial, anyway. The way Mike delves into the history and nature of chiptunes -- a genre that would normally be dozens of genres, except that one of the types of sound making has such strong, and such specific, cultural weight that it pulls all the other elements together into the same space -- struck me as very worth the attention of anybody interested in the nature of musical genre and intent. --Watson

Serial Box is a new structure for fiction creation and distribution, coming out of the gate with some amazing authors writing some very cool stories. (Several of the writers are IAF members, too.)

The dates on the flyer are a little off -- “Bookburners” begins in September, though there’s a somewhat-redacted sample on the site now.

“Tremontaine” (a prequel to Ellen Kushner’s “Swordpoint”) begins in October; the website doesn’t currently have a date listed for “The Witch Who Came In From The Cold.”

It’s the one-year anniversary of the Interstitial Arts Foundation Tumblr! As is the case with almost every Tumblr that currently exists, we are now older than we have been at any point prior to this one, both in terms of the time spent on this website and the collective ages of all contributors.

I’ve been really proud of my involvement with this blog, but it’s still definitely not where I’d love for it to be. When we launched this last year we had some pretty big plans in mind, but we also had full schedules and little experience running Tumblrs. (I feel like I’ve learned a lot running my own themed blog, watsons-solarpunk, over the last six months.)

I’m looking forward to talking in person with other members of the Interstitial Arts Foundation at this year’s Readercon (currently taking place as of this post’s publication) and bringing more quality interstitial blogging to Tumblr.

When a person hurts you badly line up 100 panes of glass in the field and shoot a bullet through it. Take a copy of a map made by The cracks on each glass and Send a map a day for 100 days To the person who has hurt you
