Danimal Cannon and Zef - Parallel Processing

Anyone even remotely familiar with chipmusic in 2012 will tell you that Danimal Cannon and Zef, individually, were already forces to be reckoned with. Dan mentioned this collab to me several months ago, likely at a show and when it was just starting to form.

What often feels like the most bizarre and somewhat metal face-off of dueling Gameboys turns into an extended jam session between two of the more brilliant programmers of the medium. Danimal Cannon’s melodies lead Zef’s chunky electro hits through what I can only assume is the musical equivalent of walking across the multiverse.

You can check out more of Danimal Cannon’s music at his Bandcamp or his band’s Bandcamp (who just released a new album a week ago!). ALSO, Fangamer has teamed up with Danimal Cannon to offer a merch bundle. DON’T MISS IT

You can find more of Zef’s music at his Bandcamp or his Soundcloud, where he posts improv sounds and experiments as well as finished tracks.

Finally, I have one download code for a lucky person who reblogs this post. I’ll pick a winner at random on Friday, January 17th at 11 pm EST from the people who reblog this post. Make sure you have your /ask box open so I can get you the download details if you win!

Though I’ve gone to a million fucking chiptune shows in the past couple of years, somehow Saturday night was the first time I made it to Pulsewave. (I know!) The lineup this month was pretty irresistible though: Danimal Cannon (also of Metroid Metal and Armcannon fame), b4kn (who puts the Jonathan in George & Jonathan) and Knife City who is one of my favorite local musicians of any genre. There were beers and beats and awesome face and someone brought a dog, so what more could you really ask for? I posted my Knife City video already, but there’s some more over on my Vimeo page.

To cleanse your brainmeats after that disaster, please to enjoy this brief but delectable clip of Knife City on Saturday night at Blip Festival. You know, I’m bummed to have missed Starscream, Nullsleep, Henry Homesweet, and everyone else, but more than anything I’m bummed to have missed Knife City. With luck the rest of this set will surface at some point, but in the meantime, here’s hoping Luke does another NYC show soon.
