SYPHUS LIVE DATES – Summer ‘09: London, Blackpool, Newcastle

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

It’s that time of year again: spreading myself wide across the UK (well, just England this year) with a BRAND NEW SET comprising 80% BRAND NEW MATERIAL for your rocking-it-up/jumping-around/spazzing-out pleasure.

First up is this summer’s hottest mini-fest, organised by gwEm and I and featuring some fucking blistering acts (including us :P) – BLEEP +LDN, on Saturday 11th of July: see the flyer here.

Next, it’s Newcastle at The End Bar with The Turing Test on Wednesday 22nd of July.

Then Blackpoool on the 1st of August for 8bitBall.

Get yourselves along to one of them; it’ll be fun!

Chip Tune Marching Band@BentFest, on Make

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

The Chip Tune Marching Band, which I helped organise in Newcastle and Helsinki, has gone to New York for Bent Fest without me (while I’ve been living it up at Breakpoint :). Jamie Allen (lecturer in the department I work for) and Kazuhiro Jo put this idea together and are doing the workshop wherever they can.

Yes, I hear you cry, there are no actual ‘chiptunes’ involved, per se. The phrase is attention-grabbing, though, and reflects the fact that people are making crazy chip-style noises with squarewave generators, and it’s all terribly good fun.

Having said that, if you look closely at the video on the Make article, you’ll notice a surprisingly high ratio of chip-musicians to regular people: Cerebral Scars, Goto80 and, of course, myself :D
