"Considering the global distribution of computer technology for already over 30 years, the Demoscene and the related Chiptunes music have never really had a high profile. Maybe that's because of their non-commercial background, or because making obsolete digital technology the center of cultural production is mostly an insider's passion. Call it 'Geek-Art for Geeks.' In today's electronic music, the sounds of Gameboy, C64, and other discarded game hardware have gained cult status, propelled by an enthusiastic community. A key character in this permanent dedication to chiptunes is Anders Carlsson from Sweden. He has been an active member of the demoscene for almost 15 years and known under the name of GOTO80 for almost a decade. Always driven by the everlasting challenge to compose music for the best C64 demo. His knowledge of the sonic core of the C64, the legendary SID-Chip, is awesome. Just as exceptional are his musical intuition and his stylistic variety, combined with his technical skills. Made On Internet brings together 11 of his recent works showing the full scope of his production work."
