Announcing: PULSEWAVE///RIP

Credit: Emi Spicer

Announcing a new archive project at TCTD, PULSEWAVE///RIP. 15 years ago today, I started the first of many many monthly chiptune events in NYC, leading to things like The Blip Festival and many sister events in cities throughout the world. After such a long time, a lot of the content has fallen off the internet. This project seeks to be a place to recap past events, collect missing content, and provide a place for curators, artists, and fans to write and interrogate memories and feelings from this community. Have a story? Let us know!

We are kicking things off with the story of how Pulsewave started, and the entire first concert. These pages will be living documents, updated as new media comes to light. Enjoy the ride!
