Following the epic devastation caused by the 2nd BLIP FESTIVAL, few dared to imagine a world where great lowbit artists could continue to execute at such a high level of baddassery. Well wonder no more, because Pulsewave is BACK!

On the first weekend of the year, come see Pulsewave rock THE TANK with a night of firsts:

Known Loud Object and 1BITSICIAN Tristan Perich rocks the night with the New York premiere of his piece “Interface” for string quartet and 4-channel 1-bit electronics. Following this, he will rock out withmore 1-bit music that will make the ass shake and the ears bleed.

A newcomer to Pulsewave, SEED AI is the electronic duo of Brett Marshall Lefferts on videogame consoles and Dan Gottesman on live drums, showing the evolutionary link between classic lofi blips, modern experimental composition, and rock n’ roll headiness.

And completing the lineup will be another newcomer to Pulsewave. CHROMIX is no stranger to the general music scene, with over ten years of composing, a hit web release, and a smash web comic, all before he even discovered chiptunes. Now he combines dance-orientated licks with megaman2-friendly bleeps to get you ready for the rock that follows. Definitely the best reason to show up early!

And of course you should get there even earlier for the stupendous retun of “Pulsewave Open Mic”. Sign up at the door on a first come, first serve basis, and get yourself a taste of the awesome power of live electronic performance. You aren’t limited to any one genre, but you will have a max of three mins, so keep your rock short, sweet and to the point. And who knows, you might get asked to play a Pulsewave show in the future!

CHiKA, a live computer visual artist working within New York’s expanded cinema community and VJ scene will be providing Visuals throughout the night. She has a long history with the New York chiptune scene, lending her talents for many events through the years. For some reason though, she has never played a Pulsewave! Restitution will be made tonight, with a set that will melt your eyes as surely as the squarewaves will cook your brains.
