Kernkompetenz

by TRIAC

supported by

Alessandro Caberlotto One of the best chiptune albums I've ever listened to. Gonna get all the other releases sooner or later. You don't even have to be a chiptune fan to love this, it's quite simply incredibly well crafted music. Favorite track: Pattern Blaster.

Recoherent Many long car rides have been made enjoyable with TRIAC's music, and I'm looking forward to the next one simply so I can add this album to the mix! Favorite track: Power of Altruism.

about

10 years, 8 releases. It has been a wild ride up to this point. After several experiments of new musical directions, KERNKOMPETENZ represents a somewhat "back to the roots" approach. 7 tracks of what I'm best at - fast, dramatic and supermelodic GameBoy techno! Thanks to everyone, who, even after all this time, still finds something worthwhile in my music!

All tracks were written, recorded and mixed via Nanoloop 1.7 on Nintendo Gameboy Classic.

Thanks to: Mario, Vegard, Marie, Keno, Alex, Nada, Fati, Shortee, Anders and all the other great people associated with Chiptune!

Infinity

God, what a great chiptunes album. Hack the Mainframe has a great combination of catchiness with the undernote of sadness. "Infinity" is great at threading the needle chiptunes does at it's best; creating music that is somehow catchy, has a sense of emotional tone, and has a sense of progression at the same time, while still working in "beeps'n'boops."
