He gets profiled in New Scientist:
How did you get into this music?
…
When I realised that you could emulate old machines on a PC and learn what was going on inside them, I went back to the older sounds. I’ve designed instruments for pop stars. I reprogrammed Game Boys for UK artist Damon Albarn, for example, turning them into real musical instruments.

While I maintain that he tends to over-arcane the creation of and over-emphasize in importance in “the chiptune scene”, the concert sounds really cool, and I look forward to what music is released from it.
Parris Haynie writes Chiptunes music under the pseudonym Dauragon C. Mikado, a name inspired from the main villain in the Playstation 2 game, The Bouncer. In his room, Haynie says, he creates his hip hop infused Chiptunes songs using a program called Nanoloop. He presses the buttons on the clearly aged game boy to form patterns of notes in the program and the small speakers output this.
