We are pleased to announce the THIRD ANNIVERSARY of I/O Chip Music! I/O started in 2009 as an egalitarian space for new and emerging artists to play local chip music shows in the NY/NJ area. With little or no cover and no "pay to play" minimums, at I/O Chip Music artists were encouraged to develop their art and showcase new material alongside established artists without worrying about draw or space rental. To this end, in New York City I/O has been a stepping stone for musicians who've later been invited to play the long-running chip music show Pulsewave and the international Blip Festival.

Three years, three boroughs, three venues, a compilation, and several collaborations later, and I/O continues to develop a strong presence in the global chip music community. We can't thank you enough for making I/O what it is today, and we're excited to share more fun with you in the future!

In our three years, we've been fortunate enough to have had artists from around the world grace our stage. We're extremely excited about the talent joining us on Friday, Oct 5!

Richard Alexander Caraballo began his minusbaby project in 1999 to explore the diversity of a lo-fi, compositional aesthetic and has since progressed experimentally in its scope to include elements guided by those roots and a sonic language representative of his influences, namely: the art of bass and how it moves butts.

Bit Shifter explores high-impact, low-res music produced using primitive gear and synthesis as a deliberate aesthetic choice. Bit Shifter operates with a standard Nintendo Game Boy as a means of exploring the aesthetics of economy, pushing minimal hardware to its maximum.

He is also in it for the lolz.

exileFaker has been writing melodic, rhythm-driven music for the Nintendo Game Boy since 2008. He has performed several dozen times in NYC and abroad, including shows in Canada, Japan, and at the 14th Street Guitar Center. His first EP was released on 8bitpeoples earlier this year, and he is currently hard at work on a unified theory of quantum gravity, political economy, and chiptune.


◠◟◞◠◎◢ goferboy

Many times a boy has taken to a stage, and many times a boy has danced. But only once has a boy deliver the furry and explosiveness to a stage that goferboy has. Also known as Henry Andrew Baum, goferboy began his existence as a twinkle in his father's eye that turned into a flame that could be extinguished. After a vigorous and near fatal birth, his parents found that the only way they could tame the cherubic demon was through the soothing sounds from a piano. After tickling the ivory for most his childhood, goferboy transformed his tickling into a fondling of buttons. Being inspired by fertility and haunted by the ghosts of celibacy, he desires to thrust his sexuality by creating music that is hard yet innocent and guilty alike. His sound, using gameboys as his weapons, vary from melodic frolics, to gloomy bass, and disco pulsations. The results impregnates the audiences ears, as his provocative, neon hip fluxuations, fertilizes their hearts.

goferboy has no prejudices. works well with children.

I'm bringing 20 of my Aftermath CDs to sell. Why? Minusbaby did the album artwork. Sounds like a prime opportunity. B-)

uB's track "Sounds Like Jobim" from the "Mario In An Elevator" comp is featured in Vaudeville Park's Fall Fundraiser video.

For those of you outside New York/Brooklyn, Vaudeville Park is the home of I/O Chip Music NYC. If you're planning on coming to the October 5 2012 anniversary show, please consider donating $25 to the fall fundraiser and your admission is free-you'll also get some karma and vibes for helping out I/O's home base. We'll have more space for attendees, more hanging walls for artists to hang their work, a mural for the west wall, and a newly-renovated bathroom for everyone's comfort.
