8-Bit Soundwaves: A Look into the World of Chiptune Music

The chiptune phenomenon has exploded throughout the gamer scene! Chiptune (or 8-Bit) music has been rising in popularity since it first took shape in video games and computer programs of decades past. But chiptune isn't just background music! More and more artists today are creating intricate and original musical compositions using retro gaming consoles as instruments. Find out where the method came from, where it's going, and how artists such as Anamanaguchi, KGHB, and Fighter X are utilizing it to create unique 8-bit hits. Presented by CrunchyCo.com

Panelists include: Celene Ramadan [Musician, Leeni], Jack Waterman [Musician, Fighter X], Aaron Campion [Co-Owner/Musician, CrunchyCo/KGHB], Peter Berkman [Musician, Anamanaguchi], Gabe Hayward [Co-Owner/Musician, CrunchyCo/KGHB], Chris Lehfeldt [Musician, Infradead]

You can inform the public that the panel doesn't represent the factual events held in both popular and underground chipmusic and that most people should just keep ignoring it. Also, most chip composers like chipmusic more than chiptune.

That is all.

At a chiptune show, you can hear all of your favorite videogame themes and rock out to them. But, you know, it's ok, because they "mix them in a DJ".

Whalecore is the most brutalest and extreme version of chipmusic, played exclusively by whales on game boys.

Did Zen Albatross Josh have his presentation handy for that one? It's really accessible and I think people got a lot out of it at PAX East.

For reals.  Ary needed to change a string at the Portland show and Pete and Luke did a fantasic job keeping everyone entertained.  "Y'all ready to be polite in this bi-otch??!?"
