The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

The conference “Commodore 64. Past, Present, and Future of a Home Computer“ is starting right now! Even 40 years after the release, the C64 is still the best selling home computer of all times, and it has induced numerous digital cultural movements since then. Join us online to learn more about this so fancy computer: medienwissenschaft.uni-bonn.de #retrocomputing #c64 #homecomputers Many thanks to @stefanhoeltgen for the organization!

Wait, isn't there something like a summer break for this guy ever?!

Nope. 'cuz summer
🌞 time is…
Radio Irrtum! SPECIAL time!

↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓

Precisely said, the next issue of
#RadioIrrtum! will be on air this Saturday, 2024/07/06, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time, sharp. Over at Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz and DAB+ K7D around Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio/15-live-auf-91.0 .

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground to raise your attention for new unheard #music. So it's fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the music!

And this time there is a Special rolling in! The…

Chiptune PuNk Special!!

Up to date helluva
#phunky #demoscene #chiptunes running on old rusty #homeComputers from the 80s like the #zxSpectrum, #C16/#Plus4, #AtariST, #C64 and of course the #Amiga.
No additional effects, no extra synths, no added drums. Just pure chippy bless!

Music full of
#bitrot sample aliasing & strange chirps on brutally tackled chips like the #TED, #YM2149, #SID, and of course #Paula. No worries, I'll explain it all (however in German – as my station demands it).

With super cool music hackers like…

-
@ne7@icosahedron.website
- Shiru
-
@h0ffman@mas.to
- STU (didn't know him when I produced this show 4 weeks ago – just found his music excellent. However this weekend I was performing next to him on stage in La Chaux-de-Fonds (not kidding - life is sometimes full of surprises) - AND WHAT A SET HE DID, LIVE on his 2 original Atari STs!!)
- LMan
- Jammer
-
@bacalao@v.basspistol.org
- Groo
- Xale or
- Psych858o

I've always wanted to produce THIS FEATURE and now it's right there, already uploaded to the station and ready 2 hit the aether. I'm totally happy how it came out and can't wait to have it in public. That is why I'll attach my in depth explanation trailer instead of just the animated Radio Irrtum! logo. This one:
https://video.ploud.fr/w/iDTikV3q7y5YqeY2LBdLwn

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

CU all on Saturday! :)
