This is the second and final part of our coverage of Lo-Bit playground 12.0. Part 1 can be found here. 20:00 – Tanikugu
LBPG is incredibly well organized, all acts have their equipment laid out and ready to go before the doors open. Tanikugu’s rig was by far the most interesting. They had no less than 4 Midines carts plugged into 4 AV Famicoms with 4 bridge adapters hooked up to 2 laptops. Unfortunately they had difficulties with one of the Midines units from the outset. The set was fairly minimal, mid paced, perfectly competent Famicom techno but I felt they didn’t really get their feet under them due to the technical problems. Watch this space though, who knows what Tanikugu could evolve into.
Quarta330 has a new live setup up on archive.org. Chipflip writes:
“Half an hour of crunchy 8-bit deepness from Japan’s Game Boy dubstep wizard.
Japanese musician Quarta330, promoter of Tokyo’s Lo-Bit Playground party, twisted plenty of heads on the dubstep scene last year with his immense 8-bit refix of Kode9’s towering 9 Samurai track. He recently performed at Tokyo’s Back To Chill night alongside other Japanese artists such as Goth Trad and T2R, armed with nothing more than two Game Boys, an interface and some effects pedals. Hosted both here and on Laurent Fintoni’s blog, the set has a few jumpy levels and even a little technical down-time midway through; but don’t let that put you off — along with the essential styles currently blasting out of the Jahtari camp, this really is some of the heaviest, most off-the-hook 8-bit music out there at the moment.” |
