Rochester Chip is a monthly series of events dedicated to promoting artists and groups who use the sound chips of retro computers and video game consoles to create new original music. This exciting and often experimental form of electronic music repurposes devices such as Nintendo Gameboys and Atari 2600s as synthesizers and sequencers to create exciting new compositions in a wide array of genres.

Welcome to EXPLORING CHIP TUNES, a monthly show where a panel of musicians and artists, with varying levels of experience, analyze a specific piece of chip music with an eye on craft.

In this inaugural  episode, we’ll be looking at WHAT KIND OF DAY HAS IT BEEN, the opening track of Nick Maynard’s latest release, “ELECTRONIC MUSIC”. As Nick walks us through his programming, he’s joined by veteran LSDJ user Robert Mostyn ( http://bclikesyou.bandcamp.com/ ) and filmmaker Dan Gocek, who has no previous experience with programming, trackers, or chip music.

Want to see a particular song or artist discussed on the show? Email your suggestions and SAV files to ROCHESTERCHIP@GMAIL.COM with the subject “EXPLORING CHIP TUNES”.

EXPLORING CHIP TUNES is a Rochester Chip production.
