Mark your calendars: PULSEWAVE is turning two, and there’s nothing terrible about this lineup! On the heels of all the SXSW festivities, showcases, and world premieres, we’ll be giving those 8-bit ambassadors ? 2PlayerProductions and 8bitpeoples ? a hero’s welcome, celebrating all PULSEWAVEs past and shattering the future. Pulling in talent from the four corners of space-time, THE TANK will level all notions of trans-, post-, and meta-anything in one quantum leap.

Interstellar Birthday Hats will be provided.

8GB [Buenos Aires]
The New 8-bit Order comes in a live audiovisual package from below the equator care of Akira, Argentinean brother and kiken.corporation founder. Involved in the underground digital arts movement known as the “demoscene,” and with a fixation for old computer hardware utilized in modern working environments, 8GB developed in 2004 as a natural extension of Akira’s activities. He has grown into a seasoned performer thanks to the most varied situations, from bizarre underground mini-parties to the top of the commercial circuit at events like Creamfields, the South American Music Conference and Onedotzero — also passing through the most important 8-bit music event in the world, Blip Festival (2007).

minusbaby [New York]
Born Richard Alexander Caraballo in New York City, he is a musician, designer, photographer, and wandering, beat-collecting international vagabond, whose finely-crafted blips and bleeps are as eclectic as the broad range of music and culture he draws inspiration from. Focusing primarily on software-based composition, minusbaby uses lo-fi electronic synthesis to create chip music that defies genre classification. One song could be a micromusic lullaby inspired by 17th Century Spanish architecture, while the next may be reggaetón for a cymbal-clapping robotic monkey, composed with an ear for fine hip-hop beats and debuted for an Australian Cattle Dog in São Paulo, Brazil. With minusbaby, ’60s—’70s Brazilian pop can meet mid-’80s New York b-boy jams cut with Santería percussive patterns, everything filtered through the ears and fingers of a musician looking to push what chip music can display stylistically, and what people will experience when they hear it themselves.

Mark DeNardo [New York]
Born an Italian/Puerto-Rican Catholic boy in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, hometown of John Coltrane, the on same day as Jacques Cousteau. He learned violin as boy; bass guitar as a youth and guitar as a man. Discovering Little Sound DJ, DeNardo began weaving his 8-bit blues and folktronic stories of robots, heroes and monsters. He currently lives in Brooklyn, and is renowned for his tall tales.

Baron Knoxburry [Detroit]
Once an 8 year old multi-Hutangweeian dimensional time traveler (who hid in the closet of one Langel Janson L. Bookbinder Esq. IX upon visits to Gaia) the Baron Knoxburry has a plethorical aptitudinal sense for intervaliac instiances. Harmoniously melodic rhythms are chordially and oft represented in a loose, asymetrical fashion. Always post-forefront of trial and error, this entity lastates innocuously the trials and tribulations of a confused and subtley narcissistic subconscious. At this day in age there resides no mystake; for the great ~Triad hath merged, trapped in a single, yet humble, body.
