8-bit music
Caught a good show at Ground Kontrol last night.
Saw BIT SHIFTER and Nullsleep on their INTERNATIONAL CHIPTUNE RESISTANCE WORLD TOUR 2006.
Some pretty rockin' 8-bit music.
They use Nintendo Gameboys as their instruments. They program the Gameboys to play original compositions. Instrumentally, and sonically, the music does not sound unlike Nintendo game music. But its not the Tetris theme song all night long. Its original stuff. Pretty creative stuff. Pretty rockin stuff.
Got to chat with Josh (Bitshifter) during Nullsleep's set. He was standing next to me taking pictures. Cool guy. Kinda inspiring. I might jump into a bit of 8-bit.
Plus, some super-sweet 25 cent "Track n Field", "Joust", and "Burgertime".

I was just thinking about fractal music the other day...nothing fits 8-bit music like NES and fractals.
