Django Day 2024: lighting talk on Chiptune

I took part in Django Day 2024, and I had the chance to talk about Chiptune and how to create it. Here is a small summary of my talk.

The event

Django Day in Copenaghen is an event dedicated to Django, the Python web framework. It was a one-day event, and I had the chance to attend it as a speaker.

I’ve decided to talk about Chiptune, a genre of music that uses the sound chips of old computers and consoles to create music.

The talk

I’ve presented a small introduction to Chiptune, explaining what it is and how it is made. I’ve also shown some examples of main artists, the demoparties, the Chiptune music, and I’ve explained how to create Chiptune music using a tracker and what’s the difference between a tracker and a DAW.

The slides

If you’re here, you probably would like to download the slides of my talk.

Maybe you’re interested in Chiptune, or maybe you’re interested in the talk I’ve done.

The feedback

The feedback was great. I’ve received some questions about Chiptune after the talk. I talked with some people who knew artists and discovered new people doing music.

I also make music, take a look if you please!

The organizers were happy with my talk, and they’ve asked me if I would have liked to perform a live Chiptune session. I’ve accepted, and I’ve performed a small live session at the end of the event, using my Gameboy.
