Play Boys with a Game Boy
Featuring Oliver Wittchow, COVOX, Lo-Bat and Myfanwy Ashmore
'Nanoloop' and 'Little Sound DJ' are two softwares designed to transform th=
e famous Nintendo Game Boy into a small, hand-held music workstation.
That means that over 100 million people, approximately the number of Game B=
oy's sold, are now potentially electronic musicians. These softwares
are not supported by Nintendo company who after the sucess of 'Nanoloop' an=
d 'Little Sound DJ', are working on their own music device.
Oliver Wittchow started his project with his own students at Hamburg art sc=
hool, called 'Nanoloop', consisting of a software synthesizer and sequencer=
for the Nintendo Game Boy. After that, many musicians and artists began us=
ing the program to play techno, house, and experimental music. For Smart Pr=
oject Space, he is going to show how it all started, programming, in real t=
ime, on the game boy itself, with just 3 lines of BASIC code. And then how=
it will evolve, presenting a new software for 'smartphones' and performing =
minimal house music on a cellphone.
Covox is Thomas Soderlund Gear used: GameBoys, Novation BassStation, Clav=
ia Micromodular, Digitech Vocalist, Behringer UB1204FX-PRO
and some other stuff.
Lo-bat, at the moment, is making music on game boy using 'LSDJ'. www.little=
sounddj.com, and nothing else.
Myfanwy Ashmore will present 'Mario Battle No. 1', which is an altered vers=
ion of the popular Nintendo's Mario Bros game. Ashmore, simply removed
all the enemies, prizes, architecture within the game. Now as a game player=
, all you can do is to go for a walk. Eventually you run out of time and di=
e. Myfanwy Ashmore, as well as being an exhibiting artist, is currently a t=
echnician at the 'Ontario College of Art' and 'Design in the Academic Compu=
ter Centre'. Most recently she was nominated and short listed for the prest=
igious 2003 K.M. Hunter award through the Ontario Arts Council.
