Goto80 (SE)
Goto80 (Anders Carlsson, 1981) is a musician and writer who grew up in the computer demoscene – probably the first transnational digital subculture for audiovisual hacking. He started with technical 8-bit musical explorations in 1995, with an unhealthy obsession of variation and errors. He gained reputation as one of the more progressive composers of chipmusic. He was one of 3 nominees for all-time best C64-composers at Commodore’s 25-year anniversary. After nearly 1000 songs and 200 performances, he currently experiments with more conceptual works, often based in his research on 8-bit art and culture as part of an MS-degree in Media and Communication. He has presented his work at Montevideo (nl), Cimatics (be), Mapping (ch), Piksel (no), HAIP (si), LABoral (es), Plaza Plus (nl), Radiator (uk), re:new (dk), SXSE (us), Blip Festival (us). Anders also runs the blog Chipflip, the netlabels Labelable and internet2008.se, and makes music as Extraboy, Superdöner and 1000 other names.
