Blip Festival: NYC Nov. 30 - Dec. 3
The Blip festival in NYC from November 30 to December 3 is a huge party celebrating music created with low-tech computers and consoles. From the site:
An exploration of the chiptune idiom and its close relatives, the Blip Festival is the biggest and most comprehensive event in the history of the form, and will include daily workshops, art installations, and nightly music performances boasting an international roster larger and more far-reaching than any previous event of its kind.
Certainly sounds awesome, and there are tons of DJs and artists lined up, including Tugboat, an excellent drummer who plays along live to original chiptune music he created. We saw him at the i am 8 bit art show at E3 2005, and he was incredibly talented.
Also included is an interesting movie called "Super Mario Movie", which is created entirely on a hacked NES cart. Check it out if you are in the area.
