Maybe not exactly a chiptune album, but a chiptune album in spirit. Cute, beep-boop-videogamey tunes that tell a story, possibly about the kitty and the doggie on the cover, but that’s up to you.

If you’re not downloading the .ZIP already… have a listen!

I wouldn’t mind terribly at all if the music of Sound Club Sweet compelled you, through tears of joy, to pay for it. If you enjoy it; if you find yourself listening to it more than almost never, please consider making a PayPal donation. (I suggest $5.00, but whatever’s good for you.) There’s absolutely no obligation, but it does help me to pay the bills and devote time to more entertaining projects like this one. Thank you!

Sound Club Sweet began in November 2009 as a handful of tunes created for the TIGSource.com ‘assemblee’ competition. I just created some music and threw it out there, for anyone to use in his or her game. In the same spirit, you are welcome and encouraged to use the music of Sound Club Sweet in your videogame, or any other project. Please ask for my permission first, but don’t worry — I’ll probably say yes. ‘Looping’ versions of all the tunes are available here: [ DOWNLOAD .ZIP (17 MB) ]

Relevant links:

• Sound Club for Windows – Sound Club Sweet was made in it!
• KinokoFry – Rebecca Clements created cool rhythms for two of the tunes.
• Oh, and here are some more drawings of kitties and doggies.

Thank you! Have a cute time with Sound Club Sweet.

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas (2007)

DOWNLOAD (14 MB)

For a generation (and I’m talkin’ ‘bout my generation) raised on Bart Simpson and the Internet, the word ‘sentimental’ sounds like an insult. Sentiment is for Grandma and Grandpa – it’s an old-fashioned value, to be regarded with suspicion. Well I say, to hell with that.

What are we so afraid of, that we can’t share some warm, sentimental feelings, especially at this time of year? Sentiment doesn’t drop bombs on people or arrest negroes disproportionately. Sentiment is what makes us love our country; sentiment is why, no matter how old we get, no place will ever feel like home quite like Mom and Dad’s. And sentiment is how, for just one day of the year, everyone on Earth can join together and focus on what’s really important: Love, Joy and Family.

This is an album of original songs about just those things. I sang them with all my heart. I know that sounds ‘cheesy’ – and believe me, the music does too! But I hope you can put aside your ‘internet rage’ for a little while, and enjoy some good old-fashioned Holiday tunes. Who knows? You just might find yourself singing along.

You might even find yourself smiling. :)

All the best,

Patrick Alexander

Happy Birthday Shawn (2005)
DJ Unlikely Career Choice

DOWNLOAD (6.4 MB)

1. Birthday Dirge (for Shawn)
2. Red Panda! Red Panda!

After not so much ‘making a splash’ as ‘leaving a slight stain’ on the scene with his 199x track ‘Birdhouse on the Dole’, DJ Unlikely Career Choice defied critics, audiences and himself by disappearing from view before anyone had even noticed him. At last he returns with this only moderately intolerable single, ‘written’ and recorded in celebration of his friend Shawn’s 25th birthday. ‘Birthday Dirge’ redefines cacophony with its discordant bleeping, abrasive samples and headache-inducing repetitiveness, while ‘Red Panda! Red Panda!’ is like being repeatedly jabbed in the ribs with a stick – but only for as long as it lasts. Sure to be a hit in the emerging ‘deaf and/or senile’ club scene, Happy Birthday Shawn is an essential addition to any serious coaster enthusiast’s collection.
