   Welllll, MAGFest was great old fun. Met lots of awesome people. Keep an eye out for noisewaves. The Cheese n' Beer Anniversary Edition of Pulsewave was also fantastic fun. Kris Keyser, Chromix, Doomcloud and myself provided musics for a great audience. Definitely one of the largest I've seen at a Pulsewave. This month, February 5th to be exact, I'll be joining the monthly Handmade Music at Culturfix. Might have a little hardware surprise. Might not. (I guess that's how surprises work, right?)

::about

Note!, the alias of Christophe Richard from Brooklyn, New York, explores music through a lo-bit aesthetic and aims to prove that even the simplest square waves and white noise can be textured and crafted to create something far greater and more beautiful than the sum of their parts. Oh and you can dance to it. So dance. NOW..
