Yesterday I went to the press preview show organized by VORC RECORDS at the beautiful Synra Dome at Tokyo Space/Science Museum (Super Lisa Katayama posted about his Planetarium on io9. This dome has been created by two guys: Hikaru Okuda set up the hardware while Toshiyuki Takahei does all the software programming, including hooking the images up with complex calculations done by a giant supercomputer called the MDM, Molecular Dynamics Machine, which sits just outside the theater). The chiptune show is really outstanding and after you put on the 3D glasses you take a dive in a psychedelic retro futuristic 3D universe with simply the best chiptune/8bit soundtrack I ever heard in the last 10 years! Outani San, the mastermind of VORC Records, has really took the chiptune scene to the next level and BLIP FESTIVAL should really do something with him to make the US chiptune scene reach the SUBARASHII level of the Tokyo's VORC chiptuners!

If you are in Tokyo on 21th December  you can miss this show!
