    From “Cadê o Pescador?” (Audio/Video installation @ Multiplicidade, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil • 2009)

    This set is all from 3 chips: each a Parallax 8x32A micro-controller with the signal going out through a raw resistor network controlled live via hacked Nintendo 64 controllers.

    Recorded on August 18th, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. It was going to be 21 minutes long, but the video recorder burned out while recording that test.

  • 8Static Philly was lovely

    The birds are real.
    The birds are real.

    Last weekend, the Philadelphia area was blasted with what is hopefully the first in a series of regular chip shows under the 8STATIC name. The event, at a yoga studio felt like being in a big (and awesome) living room.

    The lineup included Graffiti Monsters, Cheap Dinosaurs, Animalstyle, glomag, BitShifter and the stunning visuals of VBLANK, NO CARRIER, Voltage Controlled and noteNdo.  Additionally there was a screening of the documentary “Reformat the Planet”

    The media coming in from this event is as impressive, with shots from the flickr stream, and the following videos on the Cheap Dinos youtube.

    b00DaW also provided some bootlegs of some of the artists performances as well. Check them out:

  • PULSEWAVE 10.25.08 Rom Flier

    Show info

    The new ROM flier from NO CARRIER and featuring a hilarious Halloween medley by Baron Knoxburry is online for this months Pulsewave show. This months show is a special mash up of chip stars and famous rock band, and should be a good opportunity to indoctrinate the unsuspecting neophyte in your midst.

    Darkness falls across the land. The midnight hour is close at hand. Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorize your neighborhood. And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down, must stand and face the hounds of hell, and rot inside a corpse’s shell…

    2 Player Productions is proud to host a very special Halloween Pulsewave! Bust out your costume one week early and come party with us at AlphaBeta as esteemed members of the New York chiptune crew perform as other bands! That’s right. All covers, all night long. For one night only, the raw power of the Nintendo Entertainment System and Nintendo Game Boy will be harnessed to summon the spirits of Ian Curtis, Glenn Danzig, David Gahan, and Rivers Cuomo! Ok, so only one of those guys is actually dead but if the others were, their ghosts would be there too. Throw in live, Halloween-themed visuals, a costume contest, some killer raffle prizes, and a VERY special MYSTERY PERFORMER and you’ve got a Saturday seance that can’t be missed!
