Chiptune Lo-Fi with a Live Paris Clock
Demoscene elegance and filtered square waves — French-touch chip beats with CET in pixel neon.
France ran the demoscene like haute couture: Amiga crews competing to fit beauty into kilobytes, and later a generation that filtered those chip harmonies into French touch's velvet. Paris hears 8-bit and thinks: refine it.
The station obliges: square waves passed through that national filter, disco-warm chip basslines, arpeggios with atelier finish. The Paris clock keeps CET in tasteful pixels above a dithered mansard skyline going bleu-hour.
For stylish focus sessions, pixel-art croissant hours, and anyone who suspects Daft Punk's helmets contained sound chips all along.
