Jeremiah Johnsonโ€™s site counts the days around 300 dated sets and releases, from his 1980 birth to a projected death in 2057.

killscreen.comNullsleep Rebuilds nullsleep.com as a Life ArchiveNullsleep, the chiptune musician Jeremiah Johnson, has relaunched nullsleep.com as what he calls a "life archive": a single scrolling timeline of dated events, each paired with a running counter of days since or until it happens. Johnson announced the site in an Oct. 1 reel, writing that the concept "began gestating around 2015." 0:00 /1:49 1ร— The launch reel for nullsleep.com. Video: Nullsleep. The timeline holds about 300 entries, roughly 280 of them live hardware sets. It runs from his birth in 1980 and the approximate founding of the 8bitpeoples label in 1999 through early sets in New York, including Blip at FUN in 2001, and on to this month's club nights in Malmรถ, Gothenburg and Stockholm and an Outtaspec! set at Brick Box in Tucson, Ariz. About 165 entries open into photo galleries. The last entry is his own death, listed for 2057 with the note "significant variance expected" and the location unknown. The announcement promises "branching timelines ahead," and Johnson says more material will arrive as he recovers it from a stack of old hard drives dating to his teens. He is asking anyone holding photos, video, audio recordings or other relics from his shows to get in touch. Johnson co-founded 8bitpeoples, the New York chipmusic label he still directs, and the label helped curate Blip Festival from 2006 to 2012. Killscreen covered his one-night revival of International Chiptune Resistance with Bit Shifter in Stockholm on Oct. 14, a show that now sits on the new timeline. For more reading, see the archive itself at nullsleep.com and the 8bitpeoples label site. Killscreen covers the musicians, archivists and scene builders who keep game hardware alive long after the market moved on. The free Radar newsletter brings them to you three times a week.

Time to engage in the Cursed Discourse -- I think the lack of any nuance in conversations around AI/ML is a real problem. The fact that laamaa, an incredible artist, developer, and member of the chiptune community, was bullied into leaving this platform and removing Risa is incredibly disappointing.

It is entirely reasonable to have major ethical problems with AI/ML, my guess is these concerns are nearly universal within our community! But making solo indie devs, who are longstanding members of this scene, the targets of ire is absolutely wild to me.

little-scale, who has contributed so much music, passionate creativity, and amazing tools to this scene, is also using an AI coding assistant. Should we cancel him? There has been a sudden proliferation of vibe-coded slop trackers, but this ain't it, it's someone who knows the craft using new tools.

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If youโ€™re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
