Sound Chip

The Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System do not have a separate sound chip but both instead use digital logic integrated on the main CPU.

The program played a major role in the Game Boy chip music trend that came to attract a lot of attention in media. The now non-existent Swedish duo Puss is one of the better-known chip music projects, and was nominated 2003 for a Grammis prize in "Årets klubb/dans". The same year, Goto80 probably played as the first chip musician live at Hultsfredsfestivalen. In 2005, Paza produced an Atari song for Beck. The Stockholm club Microdisko has since 2004 arranged gigs with the biggest chip music artists worldwide.
