And the terrible news is that our third place winner, Mandelbrot (Steven Grich) was shot and killed in Clemson just after the contest ended. Our hearts go out to Steven’s friends and family and it is our intention to make a donation to a suitable charity in honor of Steven and his music. Thanks to everyone who submitted, and supported this contest. Please stay safe out there!

In the meantime, we’re going to continue on with the release of the “Top 10″ remix album, and include ALL of the remixes on the digital version. We will also be donating ALL of the proceeds from the sale of this collection in honor/memoriam of Steven.

UPDATE: 3 Arrested in the killing of Steven Grich:

Chip Chip Hooray! — New Compilation OUT NOW!

January 4th, 2012 Blog - Tags: an0va, bubblyfish, cheap dinosaurs, chip's challenge, chiptunes, citizengreen, dj cutman, johan ess, larvae, magfest, nestrogen, news, rainbowdragoneyes, ray & the prisms, releases, r_garcia, sharaab

We’ve always had a dangerous love affair with video games. Nophi’s first logo was actually a riff on the Atari logo, and we’ve been borrowing from video game culture ever sinse. It’s safe to say that Nophi would not exist — at least not in the same capacity — without influence from the gaming world.

Last year, we entered our name into the chiptune/vg music hat with a compilation of classic chiptune covers known as Eightest Bits. The project was so much fun, that we just had to have another go at it in 2012. This time, however, the compositions would need to be originals!

We certainly wanted to pay respect to the “hardcore” chiptuners, but also highlight composers who employ elements of chipmusic alongside broader instrumentation. Therefore, we opted not to limit the tracks on this compilation by the equipment used to create it. What we ended up with was an excellent cross-section of compositions ranging from Gameboy bangers, to slickly-produced “crossover” tunes.

We seriously can’t thank the artists who participated in this project enough, and we hope you enjoy this collection as much as we do, because we feel it’s right up there with the most awesome things we’ve ever done!
