Related to my Gp2x Handheld Album “Pad Sounds” I also did this cover version of Popcorn which I somehow forgot to put on my Soundcloud.. Well.. It popped back into my mind just now and I hope you enjoy this free download. Since Popcorn from Geshorn Kingsley is one of the most covered popsongs ever I simply had to make it on my Gp2x Piggy Tracker as well. Maybe you heard that one also on one of my concerts. The full “Pad Sounds” Album is available on my Bandcamp Shop site.

just recently a few days before the Worldtronics Festival 2011 at Haus der Kulturen der Welt I had some visitors from the TV Channel “ZDF Kultur” . Surprisingly one of the authors of the show “Pixelmacher” was informed about all of my work and we did a long interview at the Treptower Park. As it seems to be normal in TV,, just a tiny bit of it really got aired on the 16th of december. Also some of their (tacky) comments seemed to be important for  their format, but whatever. A little look on my work for the forgotten world of TV watchers..

There´s also a whole show of Pixelmacher dedicated to the Worldtronics Festival featuring: Bubbly Fish, Jahtari, Soom-T, Candie Hank and many more: You can watch it on the ZDF Kultur Website. - Watch –

It took a bit longer to encode this footage from US Camera film format but finally I got it. What an amazing night and a even more amazing audience!!! Looking forward to play Blip again! C-YA!

8-Bit & Chiptunes

With: Bubblyfish + Marieke Verbiesen, Disrupt, ChaCha, Super Guachin, Candie Hank, Soom T, Visuals: Raquel Meyers

• Thu 01.12.2011 Haus der Kulturen – | 20:00 h | Admission: 10 €/8 € Tickets online…

Compiled by Manuela Krause

The production of 8-Bit music or Chiptunes (sounds synthesized and rearranged from the sound chips of computers and game consoles), which emerged alongside the hardware used in the late 1980s, has developed into an international musical movement. While the hardware used often comes from the days when the Commodore 64 was the state of the art, the artistic approach is totally up to date. The program is being put together by the veteran 8-Bit activist Manuela Krause, also known on the scene as Manou and famed for her lo-fi pop songs.

Bubblyfish + Marieke Verbiesen
Bubblyfish is dedicated to the sound aesthetics of the Gameboy: ambient surfaces blended with cheerful Super Mario music, mixed in with 8-Bit drones. With the visual backing of Marieke Verbiesen’s manual live animations.

Disrupt + ChaCha
Disrupt, co-owner of the Leipzig network label Jahtari, which specializes in 8-Bit, has his own unique way of preserving the genre’s digital cultural heritage: 8-Bit dub. He’s backed up by the singer ChaCha from Guizhou in China, whose own pieces are heavily influenced by Downbeat and Triphop, dark and full of nostalgic moods.

Super Guachin
This Argentinian duo’s mid-tempo tracks represent a kind of glossy 8-Bit. Their music, which has also been described as tropical psychedelic, is almost transcendental, with a range of influences ranging from Dubstep thru Techno to Reggaeton and Cumbia Villera.

Candie Hank
is one of the thousands of pseudonyms used by the hyper-productive Berlin-based Patric Catani. This Gabba wunderkind with the stage name E de Cologne began working with 8-Bit sounds at the age of sixteen. His music boasts a huge bandwidth of styles.

Soom T
Heavily influenced by Indian music from the 1950s, along with Bhangra, Hip-Hop and 1980s pop, Soom T sings and plays 8-Bit digital Reggae. In addition, she has lent her voice to productions by countless artists, including The Orb, T.Raumschmiere, Bus, Asian Dub Foundation and many others.

Raquel Meyers
Raquel Meyers’ 8-Bit soundscape solo compositions make her predestined to do some VJ-ing with 8-Bit musicians. She uses low resolution graphics and visuals generated with text code to tell surreal picture stories full of dark humor.

I also made the Blowfist EP including a lot of Bonus tracks and nice artwork by Martin Mueller (http://www.ilikeyourbadbreathdaddy.de/)

Altogether a mega package of insensitivity, an excursion to a raving Jurassic Park. Something to wave your loincloth to while Dinosaurs around you digest their catch. If it gives you a head or muscle ache, I´m sorry.. ! – One of the few concept albums I ever made..
I took myself the freedom to stir up all I could find in the so called club, rave / banging context and made this overspiced, overcooked, – yes; let´s say even overcocked stew. Like in a shamanic self-cleaning I juggled and shuffled with all those “forbidden” elements that just can lead to ridiculous fun.. And we all know 2012 is coming…!

Fantastic news! – It´s all 100% confirmed that there will be a tour in Australia and New Zealand happening in Feb.2012.

This is the plan for now, more shows will be confirmed and announced.

4th of Feb. – Sydney, Dirty Shirlows (AU)

I got a very useful tool sent from Low-Gain (Logan Ericson) who made this great Midi Interface for the Gp2x Handheld console and made the first little sessions with it. I thought it would be nice to demonstrate what the little unit is capable of. Looking forward to the next Krautok Event to play some live set with it.. Of course some more bounce and bass will follow. Got in a real Acid mood on those tracks ..

Besides the sounds of the Gp2x Piggy Tracker the handheld also triggers the Doepfer Dark Energy and some Reason Synths + Drums via Ableton Live. The Evolver is used as a Effect unit and there is Sugar-Bytes Artillery running for some looping and delays.

Tickler made a nice mash up of the  Toytone Track “Cuisine du Flex” that I have on my 8Bit Collectiv Site. Originally a more abstract Amiga AHX Tracker tune transformed in a Baile House Nyquil banger. Works surprisingly well as a club tune all the sudden..
