(Hit the jump for the full Feature, Videos at the end) It wasn’t just how obvious it is that Global warming exists - you know, something that should be more alarming, but also oddly pleasant when you know it‘s supposed to be a steady thirty degrees out - but that from the departure point of video games, a whole world of possibilities seemed to open up, apparent in the people this scene is attracting. On that brisk, sunny Sunday, with winter finally coming around, when only two days earlier it had hit the high sixties in December, in New York City, I have to admit that my worldview was fundamentally changed. While some key figures like Jeroen Tel and Neil Voss are already well known video game composers, the varied musical backgrounds (and countries of origin) of the people involved don’t give you any standpoint to really prejudge what you would hear and see at an event like the first annual Blip Festival that came to a close just two weeks ago. A share of the commentary has been outright dismissals of music that, allegedly “tries to sound like video games.” If that was a goal, let alone the ultimate goal of this music movement, it certainly wouldn’t be half as interesting as it actually is. Much has been said already about the scene building around Chiptunes, or 8 bit music, as it is also known.
