 [NEW YORK NY US] — Bit Shifter performs at The Election Collection, a fundraising party for Presidential candidate Barack Obama, hosted by New Yorkers For Obama and being held in Manhattan on 10/14. For whatever the political opinion of an electronic musician specializing in childrens' toys is worth, I would really like to see an end to the policies typifying the past two terms. If you're in a position to attend and donate, please consider it. It'll be a lot of fun, and it will help raise funds for the Obama campaign's most critical stage.

Chipmusic documentary Blip Festival: Reformat The Planet on Pitchfork.tv
Full feature webcast for one week only
2 Player Productions' chipmusic documentary Blip Festival: Reformat The Planet, having earlier this year made waves at the SXSW Film Festival and the Melbourne International Film Festival, can now be seen in its entirety on Pitchfork.tv, the new audiovisual arm of indie tastemaker powerhouse Pitchfork Media. The film is continuing to circulate in selected theaters worldwide (heads up Seattle and Amsterdam), but for a one-week period, the rest of the world can have a turn too.

This Saturday I'm performing twice, first an afternoon street performance in Tribeca (with Anamanaguchi and The Royal Chains) as part of the city-wide Make Music New York festival, and then a nighttime full-force chipmusic event called Bonus Level+++, taking place at Wonderland in Astoria (with Nullsleep, Bubblyfish, and Glomag). See you at one or the other; bonus points if I see you at both.
Live @ Make Music New York @ Church Street
June 21st -- The Tank cordons off nearby Church Street, and sets Anamanaguchi, Bit Shifter, and The Royal Chains loose outside to rip things up on the street as part of the Make Music New York festival, in which public spaces city-wide are transformed into makeshift performance venues. Free, all-ages, outdoors, summer solstice -- I think that just about covers it.
