FanQuest

While the movement expands quickly across North America and Europe, a group of 8-bit music-loving Canadians are bringing their own live chiptune music scene to FanQuest. Dance alongside Lazy Nerd 204 from Winnipeg, Pegmode, BOOSH, scatter pattern from western Manitoba, and Slow Scan. These electronic musicians/DJs turn simple beeps and boops from a Gameboy, Nintendo DS, and/or a PSP into dynamic, novel, and epic melodies and tunes that push the limits of what many consider archaic gaming hardware. Don't expect an over-done remix of the Mario Theme though. This musical journey will cover dance, trance, rock, thrash, funk, and much more! In a welcoming, thriving scene, the Great White North Chiptune Showcase will prepare its audience to play with a different kind of power!
