Stay informed of new releases and news about the musician Tettix. http://www.tettix.net Indie music, celebrity - and apparenlty biniki - bloggers, Fansiter, recently approached me for an interview. You can check out the results on their site! http://fansiter.com/2009/10/06/exclusive-interview-with-tettix/ The animation/motion graphics DVD magazine Stash featured indie-stock audio house Matchless Music on their bonus audio CD this month. Among the artists featured was yours truly. Check it out! http://www.stashmedia.tv/archive/stash61_info.htm Amazing director Ivan Yu recently used one of my tracks from Rites as a backdrop for his director's reel. It's beautiful stuff, go check it out! http://vimeo.com/6594319 I promise I'll write some more sooon, there's been a lot going on in my life and I've been on indefinite hiatus. Triumphant return is eventual. Don't lose hope. http://www.tettix.net/ My good friend, the amazingly talented motionographer Ted Gore, recently put a new demo reel together with some of his recent work. He also used one of my tracks from "Rites" on the reel and it works beautifully. Go check it out! http://teddygore.com/ I've posted before about Jet Set Zero, a group of twenty-somethings travelling the world on little-to-no cash and documenting the entire process for us to watch in awe. Well, I recently did a guest post for their blog where I talked about my involvement with their second season, Tokyo. You're welcome to go check it out! http://www.jetsetzero.tv/2009/05/26/when-stories-collide/ 8bit FM is an amazing internet radio station that only plays video game soundtracks, remixes and original chiptunes compositions. If you're not familiar, get so. It's incredible. They were also kind enough to make me the featured artist for the moment! http://8bitfm.com/ Offworld, Boing Boing's gaming website subdivision, recently featured a post about my lastest album, T.K.O.E.P. Offworld is a spectacular gaming blog, you should all bookmark it. And buy a copy of the Diablo III shirt in the post just under mine. http://www.offworld.com/2009/03/tkoep-chiptuner-tettix-vs-figh.html Stickfigure Recordings, a small label and distro based here in Atlanta, recently relaunched their website. One of my albums, Conformatigmatic, was released by Stickfigure last year. There are lots of other great artists to discover amongsts the ranks of their lineup. Check them out! http://www.stickfigurerecordings.com/ Sit back, relax, and let me hit you with my dragon punch. http://www.tettix.net/albums/tkoep.html Jedidiah over at Jet Set Zero was kind enough to use "The Graves of Good Humans" from Tech Crisis II at the end of their latest episode. For something that sounds like an SNES, It's surprisingly beautiful set to the video. Jet Set Zero is a video diary/documentary on traveling abroad with little to no cash. Four guys put their lives aside, got $10-an-hour jobs for three months to prove anyone could do it, then set off. You can follow their story a bit more closely than you'd imagine if you're frugal. http://www.jetsetzero.tv/2009/02/23/episode-203-things-to-do-in-tokyo-when-youre-broke/ I did a few tutorials for Boing Boing Gadgets on using Propellerheads' Reason 4.0 to simulate a chiptunes sound. You can see how I put together "Earth's Assault" and watch me remix the dark world dungeon theme from Zelda: Link to the Past. http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/02/16/video-exclusive-tett.html I added quite a few unfinished and unused tracks from last year and early this year to the archive. There's some decent stuff in there and some game music as well! http://www.tettix.net/archive.html I found a video on vimeo that my friend Will Joines did about five years ago for a song I collaborated on with another friend, Matt Marchini. I thought some of you might get a kick out of it. I still own that shirt. And will makes really amazing videos these days. http://vimeo.com/417555 This is a great electronic music blog that did a write up on my newest album. They review a lot of interesting stuff, bookmark it! http://www.yesyesyall.org/index.php?id=463 Link: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/01/26/tettixs-rites-free-e.html My new album "Rites" is now available. It's a remodeling of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." http://www.tettix.net/albums/rites.html Check out the story on Boing Boing Gadgets! http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/10/03/humbert-demands-chip.html At the request of a good friend, I made a song especially for her friend (a fan of mine)'s 21st birthday. After giving him a chance to enjoy his gift, it's now available to the general public, check it out. http://www.tettix.net/albums/happy.html I built a site to showcase my commissioned audio work as well as my design. Enjoy. http://www.tettix.net/portfolio/ A Tettix fan, Andrew O'Dell, wrote a short fiction piece to accompany the later tracks of Technology Crisis II. It flows remarkably well with the music! Check it out on his site. http://squiddna.hwcommunity.com/?page_id=10 I just finished up a new concept EP chronicaling the life and demise of an evil tyrant. Some of you might have been aware that Tyler Stout was slated to do the album artwork, but due to "Flight of the Conchords" being slightly more important, I'll have to work with another day. I included a wallpaper of the album art I made. Enjoy! http://www.tettix.net/albums/tyrant.html My friend Matt Marchini was a little late to make it onto the original release of the single, but I've added his remix in now for everyone to enjoy. http://www.tettix.net/songs/bkb_bits.mp3 I remixed this song for a competition on Last.fm. http://www.tettix.net/songs/electric_bloom.mp3 I did a few songs for the new Ben10 Alien Force commercials. Keep your ears peeled for the tracks while watching Cartoon Network. Check out the main song at the link below. Visit my archive page for the other concepts. http://www.tettix.net/songs/ben10_4a.mp3 After almost a decade of creating music under the moniker "Cicada," I've switched my name to "Tettix" to help differentiate myself from the hundreds of other Cicadas out there. Tettix is the ancient greek term for the cicada. http://www.tettix.net I've implemented an RSS feed on my site for anyone who wants to keep informed of new releases and news! http://www.tettix.net
