Now in it’s fourth year, Pixel Sounds returns to Campbelltown Arts Centre on Saturday March 12, as part of the Centre’s Contemporary Music Program.
Incorporating workshop elements with a musical performance, Pixel Sounds hosts some of the best chip tune creators and performers from across Australia and around the world.
The event featuring Tuberz McGee, Peaches the Whale, Harleylikesmusic (UK), Chibi-tech (Jpn) as well as Toydeath, encourages 8-Bit music enthusiasts and lovers of electronic dance music from all over Sydney to congregate at Campbelltown Arts Centre and learn how to create music on ‘archaic’ gaming consoles such as Nintendo GameBoy, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Mega Drive.
Workshops will be hosted by the artists in the afternoon preceding the performance and will include Little Sound DJ and programming demonstrations. Throughout the event’s history these workshops have become a very popular and important feature of Pixel Sounds.
Campbelltown Arts Centre Director, Michael Dagostino said “We are excited to be presenting the only chip music event of this scale and size in New South Wales. It’s a great way for audiences to engage with the unique practice of chip music by not only checking out the gig, but also attending the workshops.”
