What Happened to Chiptune?

Noah Lemen

Episode Summary

Today’s guest is Noah Lemen, a musician and engineer based in Brooklyn, New York. Noah made chipmusic under the alias kedromelon and also under the name chillbrave as a collaboration with Tate Gregor. I’ve known and been a fan of Noah’s work since the early kedromelon days and his time in the scene coincided with an interesting period of the NYC chiptune scene’s history - the post-Blip Festival NYC scene from around 2013 to 2018. In this episode, we talk about that period of time, the trials and tribulations of using LSDJ as one’s introduction to music making, and how one slowly falls out of making chiptune.
