Chips with Everything
View through CrossRef
As chiptune has grown in significance and popularity, the sound has begun to feature more in commercial releases, not just in commercial music tracks but in television advertising campaigns and movie soundtracks. The final chapter explores the tension that is created when an underground style of music like chiptune connects with the mainstream. It examines the Timbaland case, in which the hip-hop and R & B artist was accused of plagiarism, having sampled the music from a Finnish demo; discusses how national and international exhibitions of 8-bit video game art and music are providing a platform that legitimizes chiptune as a form of contemporary cultural expression; and highlights how, when executed with due reverence and care, as happened with the soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, can add extra layers of context and meaning to a production. It concludes by asking ‘what next’?
