The Hello France/Farewell Swine Flu Chiptune Sessions

Recorded and posted by 2 Player Productions (Reformat the Planet), this Manhattan jam session brought together members of New York City chiptune groups Anamanaguchi, Glomag, Larry, and Starscream, as well as French micromusician Je Deviens DJ en 3 Jours. Their instruments of choice? "Synchronized copies of Nanoloop, MuddyGB, live drums, and a Commodore 64 running Synthcart."

2PP plans to put up more videos from the "Hello France/Farewell Swine Flu" jam, and also promises more sessions in the future. This already looks great shot with the personal digital still camera's video setting that was used, so I can't wait to see what the group will put together using its usual filming gear.

Since I mentioned Starscream earlier in the post, the band recently took a page from Anamanaguchi and put up "Gravity In Terms Of Space-Time", a preview track from its upcoming EP, on Muxtape. Titled Future, And It Doesn’t Work, the album is scheduled to debut on 8bitpeoples later this month.
