NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE CONFIRMED LINE UP FOR THE EVENT AND IT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. WE ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR MORE CONTRIBUTORS AT THIS STAGE. ADVERTISING WILL BEGIN AT A LATER STAGE ONCE MORE ARTISTS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED.

##############
PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS!

Call for circuit benders, VJs, chip art and chip related workshops.

Ultrachip will be Scotlands first chiptune mini-festival, showcasing chip acts from Scotland, alongside national and international artists. Performances will take place on the Saturday and Sunday evenings. During Sunday there will be a series of workshops/discussions/demos/market/and art relating to chip/circuit bending and vjing. This is likely to be fairly informal (but awesome).

Ultrachip will take place in Edinburgh, at "the forest" (http://www.theforest.org.uk), which is a diy, not-for-profit volunteer run arts space (the building is an old church). This will form part of forests 10th birthday celebrations.

The Saturday and Sunday evenings will see performances till 3am, current schedule:

It's a completely fair point herr_prof.

We're in the midst of confirming them, and we asked their permission to be put on the list as to be confirmed. We are looking to have the lineup completely confirmed by June so we can start advertising properly.
That should have been made a bit more clear.

Also, thanks for all of the kind words guys!

Update:

A few changes to the organisational structure of the event (myself and Kyle have stepped down as organisers), and I can sadly no longer play/attend. Please forward all queries regarding the event onto Comptroller!

I didn't even know what this was until Zabutom explained to me! I'm still cool with it mind.
