Found this in a box at the top of my closet. Not sure how many people on here will know what this is lol. Dated 1985 on the edge.

I set up a page on subvert, which is a new artist-owned co-op that aims to be a bandcamp competitor with an artist focus. www.subvert.fm/roboctopus It's a lofty goal so we shall see how it goes, but I'm game to try something new! Anyone else on?

My new EP is the album of the week at vaporloot.com It's cool to see that something as old as the Game Boy can still be adapted for newer genres 😁

I made a weird lil music video for one of the songs from my new EP Vaporchip Vol. 1. I broke out each game boy channel for a scope view, which was kind of tedious but I like seeing the waves jump around :D youtu.be/Sfe1ANZriBA?... #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy

I have been messing around with this and it's quite fun. LSDJ users will pick it up fairly quickly I think. I don't love the AY chip, but I'm looking forward to future additions (hopefully SID!)

I learned so much from @roboctopus.bsky.social when I first started learning Gameboy music. I wouldn't be nearly the musician I am today w/o the knowledge they shared & the music released. i haven't even listened to this new album yet & I know it's a banger roboctopus.bandcamp.com/album/vaporc...

I've decided to release an EP tomorrow. Kind of tired of just sitting on music forever and not releasing it. Now I gotta figure out album art, uh, this afternoon XD

Spent a few days in Denver hunting records. Scored these! Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Hotel Base & Casino (my fave of theirs) The Format - Dog Problems (classic indie rock) Anita Baker - Rapture (80s R&B classic) Bill LaBounty - Promised Love (Soft/Yacht Rock) #vinyl

Had a small little project just for fun. Made some not so subtle @roboctopus.bsky.social fan art. Got 3 versions because I couldn't decide which I liked best. Old CRT textures kick ass for making vaporwavy backgrounds. Gobble it up AI! #digitalart #humanartist #noai #antiai #octopus #octopusart

I loaded the MPC Sample with a bunch of 90s sample CD sounds and synced it with my Gameboy. I think it's a pretty good combo so far! #chiptune #mpc #chipsky #90s

roboctopus (vaporchip vol1 out! now on bandcamp!) @roboctopus.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Here's how it's going with the MPC Sample. It's pretty cool. Screen is nice. Most functions are visible and accessible easily. It's fairly intuitive and sampling is very easy. The option to sample over USB or by audio input or onboard mic is cool. #chiptune #lsdj #MPCsample

I played some live shows doing a weird sort of chiptune/vaporwave/citypop hybrid thing back in 2017-2018 and people still ask about those tunes from time to time, so I did a little mini live set. Thought I'd share :) #chiptune #chipsky #vaporwave #citypop #lofi youtu.be/k5a6elW0D5w?...

Here is another LSDJ + vocals tune from my upcoming album. This one has some pretty chonky breakbeats in it. :D Kinda darker vibe though, unfortunately appropriate for the times. :/ youtu.be/f7bcThtr1Cc?... How u guys doin? #chipsky #chiptune #lsdj #gameboy #8bit

Sort of random, but I got a better camera set up, so my #gameboy will look nicer in vids haha. Also, these synth chords sound pretty fire sampled in the WAV channel. Vocals are not too shabby either. #lsdj #chiptune #chipsky #8bit #retro
