still extremely grateful to have been invited to be part of this. <3

What or what inspires you to make music? When I want to tell a story. I think music is storytelling without having a clear narrative. I also get inspired when I watch or hear a good performance or music by other artists.

What music are you currently listening to? I have been into Jon Hopkins and La Femme lately. These artists take me to another dimension when I listen to their music.

If you could play a gig with anyone in the world, who would it be? Jon Hopkins. Haha. I will marry him.

Are you excited to see anyone in particular at lWlVl? Paza, Maneo, Covox, Trash80 and all my old chiptune friends I haven’t seen for years.

How did you get into chip music or lo-bit electronics? Glomag. He is the one to be blamed for introducing me to chiptune first.

Romanian publication Otaku Magazine — an “independent platform [designed to promote] visual art from national and international artists” — announced its fifth issue, titled Otaku Play, which looks to explore “the universe of players and play of all kinds”, “how and when you play”, and “what you learn while playing and where … you risk arriving when you remain blocked within the same play”.

The 132-page, English-language issue includes articles “Virtual Worlds Unplugged”, “A Short Visual History of Videogame, NES Coffee table” and an interview with chiptune artist Nullsleep.

Otaku Play also comes with “New York Poster” (photo past the post break), a fabulous pixel cityscape from renown pixel art group eBoy, though its a quarter of the original print’s size.

While Otaku is only printing 350 copies of the issue, each copy will come with an interactive DVD packed with chiptune music, live performance video from Blip Festival events, and trailers for indie games like Blueberry Garden, Osmos, Cletus Clay, and more.
