Fans of lo-fi electronica and game-tech culture vultures rejoice; Blip Festival 2008 kicks off tonight at Brooklyn’s The Bell House. The event, currently in its third year, celebrates chipmusic and other forms of DIY digital entertainment by bringing together an international cadre of musicians, artists, and performers to ply their collective craft. The festival’s nighttime concerts are also supplemented by daytime workshops, presentations and, this year, a special screening of Blip Fest’s own documentary Reformat the Planet.
The Blip Festival musical performances take place each evening from Thursday, December 4th to Sunday, December 7th at a nightly cost of $15. The daily screenings and electronics workshops vary by both scheduled time and admittance fee, so see the event’s official web presence for details. If you have any interest in micromusic, programming old school audio chips or building your own graphics motion device, and are in the New York area, Blip festival 2008 will surely prove to be a wise investment of your time and resources.
