Excerpts from a gig with four C64s at the chip/noise event Bit Brus in Gothenburg, 2012. Is this the first concert ever with 100% text mode PETSCII? Performed by Goto80 and Raquel Meyers.

08 Goto80 – mcmcmc

The compilation that arose from the grave! From the French netlabel Chip’n'Damned comes a collection of choons from Jellica, Kodek, Computer Truck, Mobb Beep and many others. Freaky free download yeaaargh: Get it!

My song is a slow C64-wobbler made several years ago, when I made several failed attempts at sounding like Herrmutt Lobby.

This was a surprise! A compilation with remixes of a song I made in 1997, which is in the it-doesnt-get-more-chip-than-this genre. Organized by Pingo, the italo-disco-movie-producer-radio-man. It’s available on iTunes, Spotify and all that stuff. Released by SouthPoleRadio.

Are there any people who perform in text mode? Yes. Me and Raquel Meyers have two text mode performances coming up – both in Göteborg (Norway). The first one is at the chip-noise event BIT BRUS. We will only use C64s, so it’s 100% PETSCII SID DATA. Improvisations will be based on Oso, Acid Burger, In The Name of the Sword and other petscii hits.

The second performance/installation is called Mind the Volcano and will be presented at Textival. The idea is to explore the area inbetween books and movies (film and typewriter) in text mode. There will be 40 headphones for the audience to use. Musically, the sounds will be more like 2SLEEP1.

Released a little song at devsound. The original is here, but this one has some vocalistiks by me and Acid Terrorist.

Me and Raquel Meyers (who has a new site) started a tumblr because the world needs a gallery with all kinds of good text art. Petscii, teletext, ascii, typewriters or drawings and “visual poetry” for that matter. Click it! We didn’t share much of our own stuff yet, but we’ve done plenty lately.

Pingo asked me to make music for Evil Wizard 2. We’ve worked before on e.g Italo Disco (2002) and I actually made a song for his movie last year.

This is a rather straight-forward killer game, made in shoot ‘em up construction kit. So I wanted to make a turbo action song inbetween Ghosts n’ Goblins and Axl Rose and DJ Assault. Hope I got away with it.
