Info on vitrics

vitrics is a 23 year old - Edinburgh born - chip artist, currently living and studying in Leeds, UK.
Having enjoyed his younger years stuck, glued to television sets playing video games and listening intently to the beautifully, quirky, rhythms and melodies produced by these consoles, he later in life stumbled upon those who provided video game style music - purely for listening - and was once again, struck very much with awe.

vitrics himself then began researching and self-studying ways in which to create and compose electronic music and then -quietly and privately- started making electronic laptop music in 2007, which then progressed to compiling completely chip tracks in late 2008.

vitrics has gained experience using many different consoles, computers, and programs to compose his music. He will continue to learn and practice other methods of creating chipmusic.

vitrics is currently using:
These pieces of hardware;

• DMG (Original Dot-Matrix Gameboy),
• CGB (Gameboy Color),
• Atari ST^e,
• microKorg,
• Alesis Micron,
• mini-KP,
• Peavey PV6 mixer,
• Circuit bent Yamaha DD7 electric drumkit

Running these programs for composing complete tracks;

• LSDJ (for Gameboy Original/Color),
• FamiTracker (for PC, which can then be transferred to NES),
• Milkytracker (for PC),
• maxYMiser (for Atari ST^e)

As well as these programs for recording and mixing;

• Audacity,
• ableton Live,
• Cubase

Still fairly unknown, but hoping to be noticed - vitrics continues to produce some unique and intriguing music from his bedroom.
Known well by a few, or known a little by a lot.
Whatever.

Just to be recognised at ALL, would be an awfully great experience.
