Sounds like a great option for those of us lovin’ NYC this weekend! As Vaudeville Park explains:
I/O is a monthly show in New York City that showcases the talents of musicians and artists who use computer chips in vintage computers and game consoles to create new compositions and visual art. I/O is free to play and low cost to attend, with the aim of providing exposure and new audiences for chip musicians and visualists.
Returning to Brooklyn’s best new independent art space Vaudeville Park on Saturday, July 2nd, I/O starts your holiday weekend up right with an all-star lineup and all ages show! This will be the last I/O of the summer and we’re going out like a fireworks display so don’t miss it!
MUSIC
Veteran chiptuner gwEm has had a distinguished body of releases from micromusic.net, 8bitpeoples, and the seminal 8bit Operator release on Astralwerks. A-Me is the side project of British folk musician Amy Sayer, who had successful releases with the Sulusse label “Zonoff”, among others. After a series of collaborations in London, the two present a unique show using meandering vocal lines and sentimental 8bit with the occasional high octane kick.
