UPDATE: Check out the banner near the top of this page — looks like the final vote was close enough that they are featuring both me AND Ruby the Hatchet as Featured Artist of the Month!! WOOHOO!! Thank you all for every single vote and shared link. Every time I thought I couldn't do it, you guys came back for me and kept things going. HOORAY FOR PHILLY MUSIC AND PHILLY CHIP!! No word yet on whether I'll be awarded the other prizes — studio time, feature article and national exposure. I'll keep all of you posted!

Meanwhile.. Ignore the 0s and read down. (I took some liberties with the spellmg)

Sharp-eyed chipo.com visitors may have noticed a few updates over the past several days. Perhaps most excitingly, there's an expanded Media page, which provides a one-stop shop for checking out music, video, photos and more. And hey, now there's a permanent link to my covers: "Bizarre Love Triangle," "Game of Thrones" and a brand-new remix I did for Eien Strife, a great band with whom I shared the bill at Anime World Chicago a few months ago. There's also a more comprehensive Shows page, which lists all my shows, past AND upcoming. And if you're interested in working with me on some kind of crrrrrazy awesome big project — like a soundtrack, for example — check out the Portfolio page to see some of my credentials and a bunch of stuff I've been involved with since starting this crazy project a few years ago. Not bad!

Also, last-minute reminder that I'll be in Portland (Oregon, not Maine, obviously) for Micropalooza this Sunday. Needless to say, I cannot freaking WAIT for this show. This will be the furthest West I've ever played in any musical project, and I'm honored that it will be as part of a bill featuring several incredible chip artists. Check out their site for more info. And yes, that's right, I'm playing BOTH of the event's two shows, so if you're in the area, you got no excuse to see me this weekend :)

(Of course, I'm mostly excited to see if Portland really is the way I always pictured it.)

Enjoy the updates!

In my last post, I hinted that there would be some extra geek-tastic news to post sometime soon... well, here it is. My friends at Geekadelphia have posted the cover of the "Game of Thrones" theme song I arranged for them a few weeks ago. It's a free download! They played it as the mega-epic opening and closing songs at the Philly Geek Awards last week, which I couldn't make, unfortunately, because I was in Chicago. I plan to not only attend next year's event, but also to provide some more music, and to CLEAN UP IN EVERY CATEGORY. Except actual cleaning up — I'll leave that to the fine janitorial staff at the Academy of Natural Sciences.

Anyway, if you like Game of Thrones, and you like Game Boys, this incorporates both of them. Enjoy!

Hey friends! First, I just wanted to say many, many, many thanks to everyone in Brooklyn and Baltimore for making last weekend a phenomenal one for me. Great shows in both cities, and great things to come from both CNB Spectrum and Byte Nyte!

Next, I wanted to highlight my appearance at Anime World Chicago next weekend! I'll be performing in the "main programming" Grand Ballroom on Saturday night, starting at 10pm. Additionally, I'll be presenting a panel on how to make your own awesomely catchy Game Boy music on Friday at 4pm in the Panel 2 room. If you're in the area, you should check it out! Visit that site for more information on the convention -- the schedule is JAM-PACKED with tons of fun events. It will be worth it! (Pro tip: When I'm not playing, you'll probably be able to find me in the arcade room...)

Finally, if you like my stuff, check out this awesome upcoming chip music event in Philly. Kris Keyser, exilefaker, Note! and Batsly Adams... DAMN. These are seriously three of my favorite musicians and one of my favorite visualists... You'd be making a big mistake if you're in Philly and you miss this!
