Interesting thread, I think about all of the amazing opportunities that I’ve had in the past, some of that was very “right time, right place” - and then I think about how for a new artist there might not be all the same ones today.
All of the people who were putting on those amazing events across the world, were doing it as a labor of love. Sometimes life gets hard, or the passion wanes and new people either take up the torch or it falls away.
Anyways, I still hear badass new chipmusic a few times a year. And I played a tour in November where most of the audience had never heard chipmusic. In fact, it reminded me that there’s still a lot of work to be done, 90% of the world still has no idea about chipmusic. It was pretty invigorating for me to get that kind of feedback again.
Also the MAGFest chip shows are among the most bumpin’ chip shows I’ve *ever* been to, so there’s that.
