chiptune chat

Since the mid 2010s, I’ve been actively involved in the chipmusic movement - the modern approach to songwriting and sound design that involves taking vintage computers and video game consoles to create expressive music through self-imposed limitations.

With a community that thrives in online circles: musician and promoter CalmDownKidder designed chiptune chat to be a form of weekly digest that highlights new releases, promotes upcoming in-person and online events, and provides discussions regarding the chipmusic scene and its significance.

To help CDK with their program: a visual identity was composed to bring retro enthusiasm to social media, which also functions in overlays designed for the Twitch platform.
