The Artists:

Natty

Natty is Nathaniel Adams: writer, musician, and President of the Institute for Elegance. He composes music using software running on hand-held devices such as the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Game Boy, and (as soon as someone invents some music software for it,) the Amazon Kindle 2. He resides in Jersey City, New Jersey, where he spends most of his time fully dressed. He is the inventor of many cocktails and the beneficiary of many kisses and flutters of eyelashes.

TouchBoy

TouchBoy is the electro disco chiptune project of David Stevers from Toronto, Canada. Its purpose: recontextualize retro game console technology within dance music culture by synthesizing a unique blend of electro bass, space disco and melodic Game Boys. Each TouchBoy performance is constructed anew and dispatched with an intensive fervour - consumed with releasing the maximum soul from the minimum machine.

In the late months of 2007 Buskerdroid bought his first Gameboy lsdj cart, giving birth to his micromusic project. Between 2007 and 2009 Buskerdroid took part in many 8bit parties and became a member of the italian collective MicromusicRomeHQ.

Still refining a new 8bit/micromusic sound Buskerdroid mixes it up with more modern compositions, presenting more variety in the employment of several instruments and less of a game console sound.

Game Boy Music Club

http://www.gameboymusicclub.org/

A toy from the early eighties is put in the spotlight, and acts as a medium of simplification. Looking into the eye of pop-stardom’s dazzling spotlight, the operating amateur stands in the focus of attention and overrides popular structures and stereotypes.
Our gears are not just chip tunes, but also cheap tunes – a fascination of an inexpensive electronic toy, used as a musical instrument, and the associated focus on the essential. Our members are musicians and amateurs of different ages and sexes,playing on gameboys in many different colors (white, yellow, red, pink, blue, black, green, grey, silver-metallic) and sizes, using the programs nanoloop, lsdj and Korg DS-10.
Another intention of the project is creating easy access and understanding of contemporary music – to accomplish that we organize workshops for the interested fans. Hot Gameboymusicclub is also the name of our monthly club – an event at the “rhiz bar modern” in Vienna – a platform for us, guest musicians, djs and vjs to perform and experiment.
