Get to know your Blip Fest ‘09 performers, hear free samples
New York’s Blip Festival is bringing us one heck of a lineup this year. But if you’re new to 8-bit music (or even if you aren’t), you might be feeling a bit lost at this point. Just who are these talented weirdos making all this rad music and visual art with Game Boys and Nintendos and Commodores? Well, Blip Festival’s official Blip Blog (brought to you by TCTD) gives you the answers you seek with BlipTalk, a series of artist profiles aimed at giving you a look into the minds of Blip Festival’s performers. So far, we’ve been treated to interviews with musicians Disasterpeace and RainbowDragonEyes, as well as visual artists Jean Y. Kim and Julian from The C-Men.
And since some would argue that reading words is going out of style, you can also hear samples of the artists by visiting Blip Festival’s new page on Band Camp. Or just hit play on the neat-o applet that I’ve conveniently provided for you below.
As always keep checking here for Blip Festival updates, and go buy your gosh-darn tickets if you haven’t already.
