About this project

4 gigs down, Soundbytes has brought some of Australia's most amazing chip artists to Melbourne, up til now, we've been putting the gigs on for more or less donations but with your help, we can put some extra money into our first birthday party on November 20, to make it the biggest and best gig to date. We are famous within the Oz chip scene for bringing together Australia's premier chip artists, and putting on shows that people travel cross country to catch. Quite simply, if it's chip and it's in Australia, you can probably catch it at a Soundbytes gig.
We want to reward; not only the artists who have paid their own ways to play our past gigs by actually springing for their flights for this one, but you, our loyal fans, whether you've already discovered us or are yet to do so. Kickstarter enables us to give you guys some amazing goodies for your pledges, and best of all helps us put on the greatest gig we can, the way only we can.
NOTE : If you have pledged $43 or more you will be emailed for t-shirt sizes when the funding closes also, if you want more than one ticket, check out the update for what to do.
We have locked in little-scale, dot.AY, Dr Dollar Dollar (AKA Cool Thomas) and for the first time at Soundbytes - cTrix! We've also organised a screening of 'Reformat the Planet' that you just can't see anywhere else - only available to Kickstarter backers. Stay tuned to this page for updates as they come to hand.
Please remember Aussies funding amounts are in US$ (hence the somewhat strange amounts!)
Many many thanks (more than we can possibly say) to :
cTrix for the amazing video.
2Player Productions for allowing us to screen their brilliant documentary.
The artists, for not only agreeing to play the shows for nothing but for taking time off work and spending their own hard earned bucks to get to the shows.
Geoffrey Gifford for being our American partner so we can 'do a Kickstart' and of course to you for coming to out gigs and hopefully pledging to ensure our continued survival!

Soundbytes runs 8-bit/chipmusic gigs in Melbourne, Australia.

We are dedicated to furthering the chipmusic scene and giving the best of Australia's (and hopefully in the future the world's!) chip artists a place to perform, giving the chip loving public a place to come to hear some amazing tracks and have fun nights packed with great music, gaming and a chance to get nostaligic.

Chipmusic is music made with both old and new gaming consoles, and it's a way of reinventing systems like the atari and gameboy that are close to our hearts.

The scene is kind of small in Australia so far, but with your help, it will only get bigger and better.
