With my gang of resident nerdfolk in tow (Jared, Hamza, Ben, Matt, Andrew, and born-again nerd Kat), yesterday evening I made it out to the Micromusic SF Launch party at Mighty. Micromusic.net, self described as "low tech music for high tech people", is a chiptunes collective supporting music and performances worldwide. With hope, the concert last night was the beginning of what could be the beginning of a San Francisco chiptunes presence.
The performance included a hefty handful of artists, each uniquely devising the color of their work with loving limitations given the use of such devices as Gameboys or the classic NES to compose their tracks. We caught the full set list of
Trash80's fantastic debut appearance in SF, as well as the following acts by the renowned
Nullsleep and Chibi-Tech which were equally as great.
My posse was in full-fledged dance mode for the entire concert. While the crowd was not as overwhelming as the scene found at
Blipfest, the energy was still vibrant and masterfully orchestrated by the artists who played.
