It seems, that I’ve overseen a really good C++ library called “Cinder“, that was released in May 2010. It offers a long lost of cool features and is lightweight and multi-purpose in its design. It also integrates seamless with the web on the one hand, and iOS with multi-touch on the other. One of the most prominent users is Robert “Flight404″ Hodgin, who also wrote some tutorials on the Cinder Website. The library was initiated by The Babarian Group, but now resides in the open source world, developed by community effort. Plus: it is BSD-licenced, so go for it!

frogatto-jump-n-run

Jeez, jump and run-lovers have a really good reason to cheer up: Frogatto is a free platformer with astounding fresh and detailed pixelart, solid gameplay, that is available for all operating systems! That are good news, especially for Mac OS X and Linux-users, because there is a decent lack of free indiegames with that flavour. The sourcecode of the game is open-source (the code, not the artworks!), only iPod/iPhone users have to pay five dollar for the game. The developers also accept donations. I would say: just have a download! It is absolutely worth it!

jay_tholen-fruiht

Jay Tholen submitted a post to True Chip Till Death, where he announced his album “Fruiht Tageur“, that is available as free download (mp3/flac). This album is too obscure and too good, to be ignored. Fruiht Tageur is a vivid journey through strange, half-lit landscapes. It’s a crossover of many different genres, a little bit of chipmusic, pop and even progressive rock. The instruments used on this production are as diverse as the genres. Chipmusic meets bass, vocals, ukulele and drums. Simply a great piece of art. Don’t miss this download!

inanance_cologne_commons_2010

Last week the Cologne Commons 2010 was held, and I guess the conference and festival can be name a big success. I received only positive feedback so far. We are collecting pictures and references at the Cologne Commons site.

[in]anace, the “Godfather of Netaudio-DJing”, played at the second day of the festival. He recorded the live-set as well and put it up in the internet. Expect high-energy netaudio beats and electronic listening pleasure, with that very special [in]anance flavour. His music and DJ-sets are always a little bit of “physical”. This mix should not be missed. Grab or listen to it at the website of [in]anace.

sky-burial

Interesting and sometimes hard chipmusic listening on the NES inspired album “Sky Burial” from Prizmatic Spray. It’s available as a free download. According to TCTD, we hear about the production from the creator Jace Bartet (please correct me, if I am wrong):

“Sky Burial is 10 songs made without automation or external effects in a tracker using common Nintendo Entertainment System sample loops that I cleaned up and fine-tuned a few cents here and there, with special thanks to bucky for Snare #25 from his DPCM pack and maktone for the kick drum”.

Expect something like Megaman meets complex death metal beats. (via TCTD, obviously!)

If you are into techno-music, than you will like this two releases.

x_a_free_techno_compilation
Mango Aioli presents free techno music on X

This is X from the uprising techno DJ and producer Mango Aioli. It’s a compilation of free techno music, licensed under Creative Commons. The tracks on this album are free floating and compiled in a very consistent way. Some real burners are on this compilation as well, opening huge rooms of pure sound and solid drive. Don’t miss that experience. Go to the compilation-site or download .zip (155 MB).

ZIMMER054-doryk-destructive-material
Zimmer Records 054: Doryk – Destructive Material

Much more dry is the recent release on Zimmer-Records “Doryk – Destructive Material“. Hard techno music for people who like pure sonic waved. Just try it – it is free music as well.

memories-of-the-future_art1

175 Megabytes worth downloading retro-futuristic-chipmusic at the “Memories of the Future“-compilation. This is food for 80iers-lovers. The album was released on the netlabel Select Start Records. Artwork is enjoyful, too, made by Nazzilla – recommended to pixellovers with rough and shiny attitudes. (via)
