Pulsewave NYC | 03.31.2012

Dear readers -

Spring has officially arrived. With the rising temperatures and the refreshing breezes, there’s no denying that we’re finally free from the grasp of a winter that has certainly overstayed its welcome.

This month, Pulsewave helps you stretch out your limbs and shake off that post-hibernation grogginess with a triple threat of energetic, fun, yet intellectually challenging chip music, all framed by the swirling splendor of one of the east coast’s finest visualists. Headliner and Blip Festival New York alum exileFaker makes a triumphant return to Pulsewave hot on the heels of his 8bitpeoples release Ockham’s Chainsaw, backed up by the unstoppable rhythmic juggernaut Note! and the hyper-energetic fun machine Fuckjazzforaminute. And back from his recent Blip Festival Australia trip, Batsly Adams promises to blow a few minds with his expertly coded and precisely performed Genesis visuals.

(｡･｀ω´･｡) Bump da bump! Bump dat rump with:

exileFaker ━► exilefaker.info/
Alex Kiefer (exileFaker) has been composing music for the Nintendo Game Boy since 2008, exploring the possibilities of Johan Kotlinski’s LSDj software. His songs are mostly the result of various failed attempts to get the Game Boy to sound like an electric guitar.

Note! ━► note.bandcamp.com/
Note!, the alias of Christophe Richard from Brooklyn, New York, explores music through a lo-bit aesthetic and aims to prove that even the simplest square waves and white noise can be textured and crafted to create something far greater than the sum of their parts. Oh and you can dance to it. So dance. NOW..

Fuckjazzforaminute ━►facebook.com/fckjazzforaminute
Fed on a healthy dose of Lil’ Wayne, Bit Shifter and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Gameboy musician Michael Lerman utilizes Little Sound DJ to make a plethora of dark, bass driven dance tunes. Also known for his work with bands 8BK-ok and #F, Lerman’s solo project brings out the heaviest of his original material.
