Smålands Mörkerparty

Henrik Bromander, one of Sweden’s brightest/darkest stars in comics, is throwing a release party for Smålands Mörker in Göteborg next weekend. Me and Raquel were invited to perform, oh yesh! Will be good to return to Galleri Oro again, after 5 or 6 years.

Live Recording from Bit Brus

Excerpts from a gig with four C64s at the chip/noise event Bit Brus in Gothenburg, 2012. Is this the first concert ever with 100% text mode PETSCII? Performed by Goto80 and Raquel Meyers.

V/A: Children of the Bleep (Chip’n’Damned MP3)

The compilation that arose from the grave! From the French netlabel Chip’n’Damned comes a collection of choons from Jellica, Kodek, Computer Truck, Mobb Beep and many others. Freaky free download yeaaargh: Get it!

My song is a slow C64-wobbler made several years ago, when I made several failed attempts at sounding like Herrmutt Lobby.

This was a surprise! A compilation with remixes of a song I made in 1997, which is in the it-doesnt-get-more-chip-than-this genre. Organized by Pingo, the italo-disco-movie-producer-radio-man. It’s available on iTunes, Spotify and all that stuff. Released by SouthPoleRadio.

Live Performances in Text Mode

Are there any people who perform in text mode? Yes. Me and Raquel Meyers have two text mode performances coming up – both in Göteborg (Norway). The first one is at the chip-noise event BIT BRUS. We will only use C64s, so it’s 100% PETSCII SID DATA. Improvisations will be based on Oso, Acid Burger, In The Name of the Sword and other petscii hits.

The second performance/installation is called Mind the Volcano and will be presented at Textival. The idea is to explore the area inbetween books and movies (film and typewriter) in text mode. There will be 40 headphones for the audience to use. Musically, the sounds will be more like 2SLEEP1.

Text-Mode

Me and Raquel Meyers (who has a new site) started a tumblr because the world needs a gallery with all kinds of good text art. Petscii, teletext, ascii, typewriters or drawings and “visual poetry” for that matter. Click it! We didn’t share much of our own stuff yet, but we’ve done plenty lately.
