I'm not sure if you are aware, but LA has had a kind of a bad rep for chip shows: rare shows with small, disinterested crowds in awkward venues. I think that perception was pretty much destroyed Saturday night. Synchronicity was packed wall-to-wall with dancing, jumping, screaming bodies. Nullsleep said it was the best turnout so far on the tour. Alright! The old has passed away; behold the new has come.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support (I finally got a chance to meet 8 Bit Weapon!). We're going to take this momentum and try to start up a regular event. If you have any tips/connections for a venue that you think would be a good fit, fill me in.
Huge thanks to all the performers. They all killed it, did a great job promoting, and are just generally excellent guys. Also, big thanks to our man behind the camera, Jeriaska. He's been working super hard to capture cool happenings in the chiptune and videogame music scenes, and he filmed the whole show. I'll be sure to post any videos he puts together once he has had time to edit and put them up on Vimeo.

June is going to be the best month ever to be in Los Angeles. Every week Attract Mode will be organizing/throwing/attending some really cool event. And it all starts with the Collapsed Desires Tour 2010. This will be the first time Nullsleep has played in LA since the International Chiptune Resistance Tour in 2006! Joining him are three of my favorite chip musicians: Trash80, Mr. Spastic and George Michael Brower. This will be your last chance to catch George before he moves back to the east coast.
LET IT BEGIN

I think it’s really important to be conscious of how the output of the gaming industry might homogenize our thought processes and sometimes stunt our creativity in coming up with new play mechanics …… that’s definitely something that’s stuck with me throughout discussion in this class and influenced me as a designer.
Still, I think the rhythm genre has a lot of untapped potential.
— George Michael Brower
Good music, interesting drum patterns, minimalist design and a huge projected playfield are more than enough to convince me. Rhythm Game I was created by George Michael Brower for his final project in a game design workshop at UCLA. The game's brief post-mortem is worth a read for an inside look at what didn't make it into the game, an earlier video and some photos of how George hacked together the drum controls.
