On January 31st, 2010 I will be running a day long workshop, teaching people how to use the new “SUPER CHIP TUNE SAMBA BAND” software, the new software is made to encourage people to perform chip tune music together in groups. The day long session will include introduction to chip tune music, why and how I made the software, the rehearsal and the performance by the participants. For booking details contact FACT at their website. Already the event has attracted international press here and here so book early to avoid disappointment.

The software is designed to mimic the sounds of a samba band albeit a very chip tune samba band with a Sirdu, Caixa, Rep, Ganza and an Agogo, it’s time to turn those game playing skills in to Samba music.

After the event the software will be released to download for free as well as some play-along videos for you to get started using it.

This event forms part of FACTs “Space Invaders: Art and the Computer Game Environment” season and is delivered in partnership with Netherlands Media Art Institution,  Amsterdam.
