Out of the blue this week, some 8-bit friends invited me to do visuals at a big show at the Tank on October 22nd. This is going to rock serious face. I forecast severe social anxiety and depression for New Yorkers who do not attend this show. Exact play order and musician/visualist matchups haven’t coalesced yet but I know I’ll be playing with Hey Kid Nice Robot from Baltimore. Full details on my visuals page — here’s the exciting blurb:

Far-flung cells of a global 8-bit coalition converge upon New York City for an unprecedented mass deployment of high-volume, low-resolution beats, melodies, and tones. Game Boys, Nintendo Entertainment Systems, and other familiar & timeless video game consoles are pushed to unforseen limits by an international all-star array of musicians including DAVID SUGAR (UK), M-.-n (BE), RECEPTORS (US), HEY KID NICE ROBOT (US), BUBBLYFISH (US), OMAC (US), GLOMAG (US), NULLSLEEP (US), and BIT SHIFTER (US), with equally stunning visuals performed by CHIKA, JOHNNY BEVERLY 1989 :: noteNdo, PARIS, DAN WINCKLER and ILAN KATIN.

Related tactical agendas interweave as astonishing preliminary light is shed upon the highly classified project We’re The Operators, a forthcoming 8-bit Kraftwerk tribute compilation; and as focus is trained on the subversive game-engine talk show This Spartan Life, complete with random distribution of free propaganda materials. This is absolutely not a show to miss. Join the INTERNATIONAL CHIPTUNE RESISTANCE.
