"Never heard of this before. Seems to suggest CV controlled washing machines?"

Happy Colors

YouTube via zoomboongwoom
"I should be doing more serious things, but when I received an update (Artmatic 4.6) that renders so much faster I was playing around... When I put together a system with nested loops that usually takes almost a week to render I could get it in about a day. - And as "happy colors" require a light sound that goes with it I made the dance like sound track that you hear.
Animation with Artmatic 4.6. Sound Absynth plus my old Waldorf Q for the "dance" sequence. And Ultrabeat for the rhythm."

Sexy Synthesizer

YouTube via Royce2Kool. "From The Movie: De De Mouse" Anyone know more about this one?

Update via the world of next tuesday in the comments:
"Maybe "movie" just means music video. Anyway De De Mouse and Sexy Synthesizer are two different recent chiptunes acts from Japan. I've not figured out the connection other than both acts being part of the same scene.
http://www.sexy-synthesizer.com/index_e.html
http://www.dedemouse.com/profile/index.html

they both have their own myspace pages, though they only have Japanese text. De De Mouse tends to have a much more pro level of engineering, promotion and art direction.

The "it" style in Japan right now is Akiba-kei, which has vintage game sounds, disco-ish programmed beats, vocoded vocals and cute girls in costumes."
