Bio
An electronic musician based in New York City, Bit Shifter explores high-impact, low-res music produced using primitive gear and synthesis as a deliberate aesthetic choice. Adopting a distillation of the less-is-more philosophy, Bit Shifter operates with a standard Nintendo Game Boy as a means of exploring the aesthetics of economy, pushing minimal hardware to its maximum. He is also in it for the lolz. Co-administrator of the 8bitpeoples collective & label, and co-founder & co-curator of the international Blip Festival event series now entering its 5th year, Bit Shifter has released music on Hymen, Astralwerks, Mirex, 555 Recordings, and Ketacore, and has logged over 180 performances worldwide. -

BASICS I fool around with electronic musicmaking using a Nintendo Game Boy and the Little Sound DJ and Nanoloop homebrew software cartridges. I never know quite how seriously I'm taking it, and I alternate between exploring semi-abstract, more "serious," beat-driven songs, and shameless pop, sugar-sweet enough to make you puke. |
