Today’s episode (after a long break) features Jessen Jurado, a visualist and event organizer based in NYC. Jessen has been involved in the NYC scene almost since its beginning, and his enthusiasm led him to organizing and putting on shows and event series - most notably I/O Chip Music, a series that ran as a sort of counterpart to Pulsewave during the heyday of the NYC scene. Jessen invited me to play an iteration of I/O Chipmusic all the way back in 2016 and we’ve been talking ever since. This episode features discussion about the history of the NYC scene, organizing a counterpart to Pulsewave, and what the future of chiptune might be. Correction: In Dannel Jurado's episode, it was mentioned that Jessen Jurado (no relation) was involved with the Reboot chip shows. Jessen would like to clarify that he had no involvement with Reboot.
