I/O is a chip music show in New York City's Lower East Side. Sponsored by the Antagonist Art Movement and presented by Alphabet City Soup, I/O showcases the best new and established chip musicians in the community. This month we are proud to present:

cTrix

Coming at you from Australia, cTrix brings an assortment of lively and banging chip-tek, oldskool-MOD-house and blip-core. Producing since 1992, he has performed live on radio and stage in Europe, America and Australia to crowds of all ages. Expect grimy 8-bit samples with rounded tones from the classic consoles: C64, Atari 2600 and Gameboy DMG all mashed up on a Commodore Amiga for your oldskool and sometimes nuskool listening pleasure.

kid versus chemical

kid versus chemical is the brainchild of Matt Battaglia, an electronic musician, chiptune composer, circuit bender, avid synth fanatic, rapper, harsh noise fiend, and all around weirdo from Long Island, NY. The only constant with kvc is that there is no consistency, just a steady stream of scatterbrained sound exploration and a bewildering lack of genre preference. Be forewarned, you never know exactly what you might hear when you come across an MP3 or see him at a local open mic, the only sure thing is if you meet him he will happily talk about synthesizers and/or sports for hours on end.

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.

To clarify: I/O has been happening since before Cheese 'N' Beer existed. Jessen Jurado (EmDash) created it in September. I often help him out. This one, however, is all me, as he needs to take care of some stuff. And since I'm CNB, this is more like "CNB presents I/O".

I/O isn't monthly though. It's every two months, but we had a streak of a few in a row (April thru June) in order to prepare for taking the summer off. SO CATCH IT WHILE YOU CAN, PEOPLE!!!

Look at me, I just tried to make clarifications on a chip music message board. When will I ever learn?!

Logan!

You should be stoked to see so many cTrix shows! That man is the best chipmusician you will ever see and I honestly mean it. The new stuff of his I have heard recently was even better than the stuff he has online. OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN.

Likewise, Logan! cTrix! cTrix! cTrix!!!

Also, those of you who've never heard kid versus chemical are in for a very very special treat. His nanoloop stuff is particularly brutal.

I have the distinct pleasure and likely-insurmountable challenge of getting to open for cTrix twice in two weeks.

LET'S DO THIS

Man, talk about feeling the pressure!

Good news is today I got my 120v PSU for the Amiga, I've got my laptop working as a PAL TV with a USB thing so I don't have to source a television (which is tricky because most LCD's don't lock onto the Amiga timing), and I've got some new tracks ready to go.  Remixes of JDDJ3J (on Amiga 500), new LSDJ stuffs of which 10k has the only CD copy at the moment (I can't find the file anywhere!), and hopefully some tracks I'll be working on with Sabrepulse.  Which might end up as a release if we get it done.

If anyone wants to catch up in NY, I'm there and probably free 31st - 11th June at some point.  Also back briefly for the JDDJ3J show 22nd - 25th (not playing as far as I know, just chillin!)  I don't have a cell phone yet, but PM me a number and I'll sms everyone once I get one.

So pumped!!
