Well, with Chipfusion I don't aim for any grindcore style, but it's about relaxed, computer gamish (1980s) music styled, fusing some influences from other genres with the chips. Sure some influences (some might argue a lot, not just some) come from metal music and yes, it's not hard to take note. But Chipfusion is not supposed to be "brutal" or "noisy", really, anyway.
The third release (came out December 2019) has 20 tracks having all kinds of influences, but as I work with intuitive flow - there are some moments that border on being rather brutal for chiptune music. Someone can almost sense a hint of Scumfusion in there. Hah! And I didn't even realise this until I had the album finalised, I just felt that some tunes needed to be "short and quickie" things. Then I realised how they have sort of Scum vibe going in them - and this is where comes the evidence part, too:
Chipfusion is "chiptune music first, and primarily, anything else only after that, mixed in" ... and it works so much better with this Chipfusion's production, if compared to Scumfusion's 'Latemogelian infiltration' experimental release. You might not be interested in chiptune music, if so - then just skip the rest. But if you want to hear what I mean, real evidence - it works so much better, this combination of "some metal influence into chiptunes" than the other way around. Check out this song to experience what I mean:
When it comes to Scumfusion, I haven't yet worked any new material. But there are certain elements going on in my life, or have been recently that ... well, like I recently stated to some friend; I could craft extremely angry and explosive grindcore stuff if things go like this. Don't know when it happens, but I'm sure it will happen at some point. Recently Chipfusion's "lighthearted" funny music has been a good outlet for me.
