With roots in catchy aswell as extreme music, seeing Goto80 perform is like getting an 8-bit uppercut that tastes blood and candy. Who said that pop, grindcore and jazz couldn’t be mixed together using bleeps and vocals? In 2007 alone, he released 100 songs and made 50 gigs so he is not done with his experiments of crappy programming, glitchy soundchips and musical history. In 2007 he also introduced chipmusic to Israel, was one of three nominees for best C64-composer ever and celebrated 10 years in the C64-demoscene.

Goto80’s revived view on purism has led him into exploring what is really unique about making music with 8-bit technology as opposed to trying to make similar music with modern machines. At the moment he is using unreleased software that combines the maximisation programming style of the demoscene with previously unexplored terrains of the soundchip of the C64. So, you can (still) expect more weirdness from this master of chip disaster!
