"8-bit meteor of drone collides with an ocean of static. Souls boil"
"A head-spinningly mad 8-Bit ambience; like a Gameboy making love to a drill... Demented retro videogame soundscapes with layers of circuit bent noise poured over the top like electric gravy - Bleepy and Creepy!" - Bees Are Strong
"Ambient samples and off-kilter drones hurtle around a Large Hadron Collider of 8-bit beats in a demented collaboration between the irrepressible Chiptune producer Warp Whistle and mysterious and relentless noise-monger Ion Beale" - Calmer*
"Boxes aren't being ticked - they're being ass fucked" - NME
Warp Whistle & Ion Beale are experimental noise and chiptune artists based in Cheltenham, UK.
As 'Ion Whistle', they focus mainly on creating freeform ambient drone soundscapes incorporating 8-bit programming from a modified Atari and Warp Whistle's Nintendo Gameboy. Characteristic samples and squeels from the pair's various array of circuit bent toys blend in unnerving concrete harmony with snippets of darkly humourous visions of the apocalypse. The volatile results of this collaboration are unique and disorientating; switching between crushing and melodic distortion to pleasant and utopian fool-hardiness with each piece performed, programmed or improvised.
In their short time together so far, Warp Whistle & Ion Beale have played alongside some amazing acts such as DJ Scotch Egg, Chris Corsano,Shitmat, SJ Esau and Infinite Livez. Uncomprimising, strange and atmospheric, 'Ion Whistle' continue to delight, confuse and enlighten crowds wherever they plug in.
Warp Whistle & Ion Beale are available for live bookings and dj sets. As well as traditional venue / club gigs, they are also interested in the soundtracking of art exibitions, live installations and performances or even providing an unnerving improvised and maliable bed for atmospheric poetry readings... if you think they could help you with your projects, message us on here, or send an e-mail to ionwhistle@myspace.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
