[NEW YORK] Live @ Barack Obama fundraising party :: 2008 10 14 ::

[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.

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).

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.

[NEW YORK / WORLD] :: International Chiptune Resistance World Tour Fundraiser :: The Tank :: 04 07

Thu, 06 Apr 2006 18:15:13 GMT

ALL RIGHT FUCKERS HERE'S THE DEAL -- Nullsleep and I are waging an assault upon personal finances, we are emptying the piggy bank, and we are buying the plane tickets, what kind of plane tickets, AROUND THE PLANET PLANE TICKETS, like 20 of them to get the job done, we head EAST on MAY 5th and we keep going EAST and EAST and EAST until we are BACK HOME and along the way we are pooing 8-bit beats and tones RIGHT ON YOUR HEADS in more than 20 cities. We are doing this ourselves, we are organizing it ourselves, we are paying for it ourselves, we made this graphic ourselves:

and we are having a FUNDRAISER SHOW T O M O R R O W at The Tank in NYC to help raise money for this thing. If you are in the area, or if you can get to the area, and you like having FUN and you like INDEPENDENT MUSIC and INDEPENDENT MUSICIANS acting with EXTREME FINANCIAL IRRESPONSIBILITY in the name of INDEPENDENT MUSIC then you are invited to come to this show, where Nullsleep, Tugboat, Voltage Controlled and I are going to be performing and dancing around like idiots and in Voltage Controlled's case, projecting seriously bad-ass motion graphics and visuals to round out the whole experience. We need your help! THIS IS IT -- COME HELP US OUT, we <3 <3 <3 you forever and ever.

So this is pretty exciting -- I finally finished up a six-song EP, released today on 8bitpeoples. Details follow . . . cue noise-channel drum roll . . .

:: NEW! :: 8BP059 ::
:: BIT SHIFTER :: INFORMATION CHASE EP ::

RED ALERT: Brand new Bit Shifter release, the Information Chase EP, out now on 8bitpeoples!!!!1 Six high-energy, fist-waving Game Boy power-anthems, relentless and full-throttle, so catchy you'll wish there were words to scream along with. An extraterrestrial superstimulant, administered via the auditory canal; this is a potent high-tech concoction, sleek and streamlined. With eye-popping artwork by Design_OS. FUCK YES. Go get it go get it go get it.

Also while I'm at it, in a stroke of divine providence, it looks like indie webshop Darla.com has restocked the first Bit Shifter CD Life's A Bit Shifter. Not sure what they have in terms of quantity, but this is the first I've seen of them in over a year, so I'm glad they're available again somewhere. You can get them here.

DECEMBER 17 | VERTEXLIST | BROOKLYN NY US

BIT SHIFTER | DAVID KRISTIAN

[BROOKLYN NY US] - New York's Bit Shifter and Montreal's David Kristian join forces and convene this Saturday night at the opening night of Superlowrez, an exhibition being held at Brooklyn gallery vertexList. Visually, the exhibition showcases eight unique variations on a theme; eight artists' "animations" made specifically for custom wall-mounted 12x14 LED grid displays. Sonically, Saturday's opening provides a perfect backdrop for Bit Shifter and David Kristian's low-res, high-intensity beats, melodies, and tones, all delivered on instrumentation centered around the Nintendo Game Boy as primary sound source. Bit Shifter promises his customary beat- and/or melody-heavy tricks perpetrated on LSDj and Nanoloop, and David Kristian achieves unprecedented tones, rhythms, and textures with a minimal but powerful arsenal of Nanoloop synced to a Korg Electribe.

2005 11 22: please note: SHOW HAS BEEN RELOCATED

[NEW YORK NY US] - There's no stopping the chiptune onslaught! New York Game Boy agents Nullsleep and Bit Shifter give no quarter, as they assemble a globe-spanning squad of highly trained, highly dangerous chiptune soldiers for a maximum-impact performance. All the way from Japan, Tokyo's Aonami supplies an unstoppable multi-Game Boy beat-and-beep assault; while New York upstarts The Depreciation Guild deploy astonishing never-before-seen NES-and-guitar drone immersion techniques. Bit Shifter and Nullsleep provide flanking cover with vicious salvos of semiautomatic pixel fire issued from standard-issue military-grade Game Boy and NES hardware. There can be no defense against such weaponry as this.
