FAQ
Who is Adventure Kid?
I don’t know if it makes sense, but Adventure Kid is a pixel character, a lifestyle and a project. I guess it doesn’t make sense. It’s a porno too, but that has nothing to do with me… ^___^
I’ve seen that kid before!?
I got a lot of inspiration from a game I used to play. A hint: “War against Ciygas”.
What’s your setup like?
Live: PC (FL Studio), Octapad, MS20-controller (at rare occasions I use the Game Boy live)
Studio: PC (FL Studio), Octapad, C64 (Prophet 64), Game Boy (LSDJ), simple microphones Sure sm58, M-audio nova.
What’s 8-bit?
In computer architecture it refers to data units that are at most 8 bits or 1 octet wide. But the term is now used for retro-gaming, video game inspired music and pixel art. I assume a big part why it’s called 8-bit is because of “NES 8-bit”.
Is Adventure Kid 8-bit?
I’m 8-bit and then some. Don’t be fooled by the bits that I got, I’m still, I’m still Kiddo from the block.
What’s Chiptune
A chiptune, or chip music, is music written in sound formats where all the sounds are synthesized in real time by a computer or video game console sound chip.
Is Adventure Kid Chiptune?
No not really. I do use obsolete video games and computers to make my music but I also use normal synthesizers and effects. I think that’s a no-no if you want to be Chiptune.
What’s Bitpop?
Bitpop is a type of electronic music, where at least part of the music is made using old 8-bit computers and video game consoles.
Is Adventure Kid Bitpop?
Yes and like ten more genres I guess.
What’s up with you and I’m from Barcelona?
I’m kind of the lost son of I’m from Barcelona – or the black sheep. I didn’t show up for the first rehearsals and recordings. I’ve remixed them and done some tours together.
What’s your shoesize?
It’s 46 European standards. Best question ever.
Favourite videogames?
Video games are art, and i like them for a lot of reasons. These are some of my all time favourites: Another World (Amiga), Chrono Trigger (SNES), Bubble Bobble (C64), Rampage (NES), Mega Man (NES / SNES). I’ve been hooked up to a pretty useless and time wasting game called Harvest Moon (SNES) that game is kind of a drag but so addictive. I enjoy a lot of other games, but I don’t game much any more.
