DARK IN THE BOY

I could hero-worship this guy. cTrix is a musical blip-master who makes 8-bit inspired music for the masses using oldskool computers from 1977 – 1992.

Musician/tech-whiz cTrix hacked together an Atari 2600, three effects pedals – a bass equalizer, flanger and delay – along with a custom joystick track selector to create a chunky chiptune axe! Watch his insanely nerdy performance at Blip Festival 2011 in Tokyo:

cTrix intergrates a Gameboy, C64, Atari 2600, Lynx and beloved Amiga 500 & 1200 to work together, not limited to one style or sound. While you might not know what to expect at a show, you can expect one thing: to have a f**king awesome time!
