Wha-wha-whaaaat?? Just when you thought CrunchyCo was dead, here we are at the forefront of the next big thing in chiptune this side of the coast. You didn’t think we’d abandon you, did you?

CrunchyCo is working in collaboration with Bookr (some of the guys behind Seattle’s famous Decibel Festival) to gather the hottest chiptune talent around and wrap it up into one hard-hitting package we like to call: X-BIT

X-Bit is a series of monthly chiptune events aimed at showcasing local talent from the Pacific Northwest, as well as guests from around the world. We want to bring it all to one place under one name, so the next time your friends ask you when and where the next Seattle chip show is, you’ll always have the answer!

FYI:

If you think this is going to be like Seattle chiptune shows of days past, think again! This time we’re bringing in some of the pros with the help of Bookr to deliver an audio/visual experience that will blow your mind! X-Bit will combine hot tunes with an astounding light show and pixel art from graphic designers, Seattle VJs, and local indie game developers. You do NOT want to miss this.

The first two X-Bit shows will take place at Pink Gorilla Games in the University District. Plans are in motion to move the event to bigger venues as time goes on.

We’d like to inform you that CrunchyCo offices are currently in a transitional moving period that will be effecting our activities here for the next month or so.

We do not currently have normal access to our special computers and files, and we also do not have access to our physical shop inventory at the moment.

We will be up and running again sometime in March as soon as we get settled into a new location. Thank you for your never-ending patience! Check back for updates next month, and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Love,

The Crunchy Team

“Nothing In Between” is the second collaboration between Seattle chiptune artist Leeni and animator James Franzen! This piece continues the story from their previous animation, “Headphones On Your Heart”, which was released 2 years and 5 months ago.  I’ve been waiting so long to enjoy this conclusion; does Leeni save her pixel friend? What has summoned Leeni into the 8 Bit Heart game world? Does the arcade cabinet get fixed?? Who was her mysterious ex-boyfriend?? ^_^
