Blip Festival is back for its fourth year, brought to you by 8bitpeoples and The Tank, and returning to the Bell House in Brooklyn NY this December. The website is up as well as a partial list of performers (over a dozen musicians and video artists so far, and at least a dozen more expected). Get ready for one of the wildest chip music experiences in the world!
Also, there is a 2-CD live compilation from Blip Festival 2008 available at https://www.8bitpeoples.com/store/product/65, or listen to it online at http://2playerproductions.bandcamp.com/.
Follow Blip as it happens, night by night, with blogs and pics (I don’t believe they have a live video stream, unfortunately).
The third edition of the world’s largest 8-bit/chip music festival will take place at The Bell House in New York city from December 4th-7th, 2008. Over 30 musicians and VJs have been scheduled on the lineup spread over four nights. Of interest to the demoscene this year are Dubmood (Razor 1911) and Syphus (UpRough, BDSE). Also, I (Phoenix) will return on Saturday the 6th at noon to start off the workshop segment with another hour-long, all 8-bit demo show, featuring the latest from the C64, Vic20, and Atari 2600 & XL, and some other obscure platforms including homemade concoctions. If you missed the last two Blips, prepare yourself for an intense atmosphere only a crowd into electronic noise can provide! For more info, visit:
