RE>[stella] Atari 2600 and pop culture 11/2/98
i agree with that wholeheartedly, i'm a jungle dj and producer and i use as do all of my friends, atari samples, the noise triggers some kind of subconscious memory center, that makes you stop and think 'wow i know that sound from some where' but we also beleive heavily in the DIY (do ot yourself) ethic, if we want something we figure out how to do, that's half the fun. 8)

I can see plenty of reasons to have Atari 2600 elements in modern art. For instance, I was recently in Guitar Center in Hollywood and heard
samples of the descending bugs from Centipede as asynthesizer tone. It
really works well in a jungle groove.
It's part of the whole recycle/popart phenomenon.
The sights and sounds of old videogames are part of the fabric of our pop
culture now, probably MORESO than most modern games, just as any medium or
genre's first great age has created its own icons.
