John's pedal board is complete! Probably. #ClassicGameFest is coming up fast! We hope to see you there!

Our upcoming album, The Social Machine, is more relevant now than ever (and we are getting ever-closer to releasing it). It doesn't mean we can't still enjoy some things when they happen. That rocket launch was pretty awesome!!! #ToTheMoon can hopefully now be a better thing than it was.
Tim's setup when he's practicing our chipsurf songs on piano to work out the finger muscles. He'll be playing on his MidiBox SammichSID for the live shows, including CGF.
Reminder CGF is in Austin in July! Hope to see you there!

Practicing for band practice tomorrow! #ClassicGameFest is coming up fast! - Tim
We use an MPC for some of our stuff and yep it works great! Flawless? Definitely not. Akai loves to frustrate users with nonsensical bugs. But I quite like it. Not for everything, but for lots! Keeps us off Windows 11 too. - Tim
It lives! Tim's new #FPGBC assembled and ready to rock for #ClassicGameFest! We'll likely bring the OG DMG-001 too but this sounds pretty darn good and, importantly, it's backlit (and also a pretty good FPGA implementation). Tim's Analogue Pocket will be for playing NSFs.

Back from my day job business trip with a few orders to fulfill! But as teased, here's a video showing off TurboWave and TurboTracker using several PCM samples (and a few wavetables)

Also goes without saying, given what our upcoming album, The Social Machine, is about that today was a tough day for the world. We're certainly not ignoring that. While Social Machine is catharsis, chipsurf is more of our temporary escape.
Potato phone photo of our current chiptune setup in prep for Classic Game Fest! We'll probably use an Analogue Pocket for NSFs, FPGBC for LSDJ and *maybe* a small modular rig for Tim's WaveBoy.
Tim plays the MidiBox/Sammich SID on Keys.

Just chillin' editing one of our Chipsurf songs for our upcoming live shows! - Tim

TIL the Analogue Pocket can play NSFs! This opens up a lot of options for our live shows! This is the NES part of the title song off our first Chipsurf album, Chipsurf Pipeline (now made available on CD!)

It's official! We'll be playing on the main stage at this year's Classic Game Fest! CGF is July 24-26th in Austin, TX. We hope to see you there! We hope you like chipsurf!

At LONG last, Tim finally got his MB6582 working well enough to actually put the case screws in. It's not perfect - only channel 3 has populated SIDs at the moment, but it does everything it needs to.

Ya'll know what day it is! It's #BandcampFriday! Now's a great time to support your favorite bands! Especially while AI tries to gobble up all our souls.
We've got some pretty exciting news to hopefully share soon! A hint, if you're going to be around Austin,TX in July, you may want to prepare your ear holes from some chipsurf!

I like watching Chernobyl (HBO Miniseries) about once a year. At one point, they use the term "bio-robots" (humans). Given the human population is rapidly growing, it seems weird to use AI to displace jobs when there are increasingly more people by the second that need jobs. - Tim
#ShowerThoughts
Need something lighter instead of our dystopian industrial album? Don't forget Chipsurf Pipeline is now on CD!

We finally had our first band practice of 2026! Been a scheduling mess but we got there! We're almost finished with the last couple of songs for the album, The Social Machine. It has turned into a history lesson vs a cautionary tale but we're nonetheless proud of it.
Yet another attempt with dreaming about my ideal patchbay setup where I am in an analog/digital hybrid utopia. - Tim
#StudioPlanning
LibreOffice and BitTorrent, now is your time to shine!
Our practice plans fell through today. Been a bit of a drought between holidays and winter bugs. But on the bright side I have a pretty big window of opportunity to record some piano parts for one of our upcoming songs. - Tim
#LemonadeFromLemons
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
We're only nine days into 2026...
Hah funny, yesterday I actually willingly just straight up and deleted my Reddit account. Can't say I miss it. And I think you're better off without it. - Tim
We spent a good chunk of band practice working on the final song on our upcoming album. We ran through the whole thing at the end of practice, and after, John simply leaned back, looked at the ceiling and simply said "...wow..."
Take that for what you will :)
#BandPractice
I'm not sure, but we'll certainly forgive you ;) Thanks for picking it up and enjoy! <3
Thanks to everyone who picked Chipsurf Pipeline on CD so far! That means a ton to us! And for those wanting more chipsurf, we have several chipsurf songs in flight and are working on a follow-up album!

It's finally here! Chipsurf Pipeline is now available on Compact Disc both on Bandcamp and on our website! Both include a digital download of the album, though we hope folks will take the actual CD for a spin!
