art_emisia666

The one and only video output of STC. At the beginning of 2025 she entered the collective as GB photozine maker.

We discovered a way to convert raw bitmap GameboyCamera images from GameBoy to .png files thanks to mofosyne’s’arduino–gameboy-printer-emulator; Once the convertion was done, she started to work on her photozines.

After a while she pointed out that it would be awesome to contribute to our music lives with some glitchy visual stuff and started getting her hands on all the oldest and cheapest hardware she could find. Despite having no prior experience in video manipulation, she connected all the devices she found with meters of cables and built her own video setup, consisting of: a Panasonic WJ AVE-5 mixer, PlayStation2, Game Boy Color + Camera, a dirty video mixer, a Panasonic handicam and various CRTs she found on the street.

During performances she creates psychedelic and heavily glitched visuals, ranging from footage of the pope’s mass to clips from iconic films like Pink Flamingos and Eraserhead, as well as Windows XP screensavers. It’s not uncommon to see two controllers on stage: the audience is encouraged to engage in no-holds-barred battles in Tekken 4, mixed and glitched live. In calmer settings, in addition to creating photographic zines, she produces large-format prints of 2-bit pictures, video installations and caresses the static electricity on CRTs’ screens.

Ick_

Ick_ is an attempt to break the Chiptune/Video Game binary and everything that comes with it. Its sound is dirty and aggressive, breaking away from the mainstream melodic and upbeat 8-Bit music. It ranges from techno to gabber, but, coming from hardcore, always with a punk attitude. Ick_ is proof that even an old 1985 Gameboy can be a weapon.

b00leant

b00leant took shape in 2017, exploring various fields of cyber art. With Square Terror, he pursues an unconventional chiptune approach, seeking to destroy the cheerful retro imagery that lies behind 8-bit music. His sound is predominantly techno, ranging from sharp and rotten sounds to more hypnotic and dark rhythms.

With Square Terror, he pursues live coding projects, dissemination/workshops, and artistic performances.

krish

This is Krish. He’s an unconventional & twisted dark electronic musician build, repair, hack music things plays live music and has diy projects on 8bit live coding custom audio & video sw/hw circuit bending C64 GB GBA drum synth.

slipped bit

Loves music machines. Then bought a Game Boy in 2015. He’s still playing fat basses on that Game Boy. Ranges across tekno, breakbeat and bass music. 

daimonchip

Daimon Chip is a chipmusic artist born in Rome and based in Berlin. He forges the sound of his music using a Nintendo Game Boy, transforming a portable console into a vehicle of sonic chaos designed to move bodies and invoke delirium on the dance floor. Informed by Hip Hop, Techno, Tekno, Hardcore, and Drum & Bass, he constructs fast-paced 8-bit scenarios where pressure, melody, and emotion intertwine in distortion, noise, and broken rhythms. Between 160 and 170 BPM, the music doesn’t develop; it manifests and collides. Bass, glitches, and sudden fractures emerge like omens inside an overloaded machine at the heart of an endless rave. The name Daimon is rooted in ancient Greek mythology: a guiding spirit, a liminal force between human instinct and the divine unknown. His music embodies this presence—a restless entity made of circuit and impulse, half machine, half myth. Founder of the Square Terror Collective with Ick__ and b00leant, member of 8bit Italy, creator of the Micromusic Italy Sunday Jam, and co-organizer of the Stranger Bits events in Berlin with 0r4.
