Artist Spotlight: Talk To Animals @BlipFestival

Leave a comment

“Talk to Animals compliments her moody, beat-driven 8-bit & lo-fi soundscapes with a range of vocal styles. The resulting music is alternately frenzied, melodic, fierce and serene, always with an unstoppable energy, as precise as it is punk.”

Talk To Animals played this year’s BlipFestival, and her unique style sets her apart. Using a MiniKP to process effects, Talk To Animals manipulates her sound live. Combined with her vocals and grimy, almost industrial sounds, Talk To Animals rocks.

Talk To Animals has released an EP on Bandcamp. Support this artist by picking it up for only $5. You can also add her on Facebook and MySpace.

ChipTuesday: Nightstory – sylcmyk

Leave a comment

This is one of those tracks I had to just run back over and over again when I first heard it. Actually, I’m playing it over and over right now writing this post. With the simple description of “Bedtime stories”, 8bitcollective user sylcmyk has created a very unique, fun, and lighthearted tune integrating smart production and some nostalgic samples. Have a listen below, and be sure to like and comment over on 8bc.

Smiletron Saves the World with New EP [ FORWARD ]

2 Comments

Smiletron - ForwardOn Saturday, May 21st, The Rapture failed to take the lives of all humans on earth. There are a number of theories on why Harold Camping’s evangelical nutjobbery was nothing more than internet hubub, but I’d like to credit the hard work and dedication of chipmusician Smiletron.

Smiletron’s new EP, Forward is a progressive 5-Track EP which takes us on a journy through an evolving soundscape through high energy chiptune music and etherial, moving moods. From a production standpoint, Smiletron has stood tall with some of the best-sounding Chipmusic available, and FORWARD is no change. The EP is offered for free through Smiletron.org.
