ChipLoom / The listening room
Small waves.
Big little worlds.
Three original chiptunes, composed with an agent and shaped with human feedback: a ten-channel XM and two four-channel MODs. Press play, find your favourite passage, then open the music itself.
What is ChipLoom?
Copper Skies
A cracktro in ten channels, FastTracker II style: arpeggios struck on a 3-3-2 groove, a punchy low bass, a square lead with its echo, bells, a detuned saw solo and a key change for the last chorus. Every instrument is a ChipLoom recipe.
Pixel Rush
An arcade-sized burst of melody. Bright pulse waves, a nimble bassline and quick changes of colour.
Voltage Odyssey V2
A longer ride: anticipation, a sharp drop, a weightless break and a singing solo. Four channels all the way.
The module is the music.
These MP3s are rendered from the modules. Each MOD or XM contains the patterns, notes, effects and samples needed to play it in a compatible tracker. The JSON project keeps the editable score and sample provenance.
Make the next one.
ChipLoom gives Codex, Hermes and other agents a Python/JSON toolkit for composing tracker music. Humans get an optional desktop editor and listening pages like this one.
