This episode features Alex Yabsley, otherwise known as dot.AY. Alex is a musician and event organizer based in Melbourne, Australia, whose music is a raw and intense collage of various bass music styles filtered through the Nintendo Gameboy. He’s been involved in organizing shows in Brisbane and Melbourne, helping to organize the Square Sounds Melbourne and Melbourne Chiptune Academy event series. We get into the landscape of music in Brisbane, Melbourne and Australia more broadly, as well as the rise of the Melbourne chiptune scene and Square Sounds Melbourne.
