Sabrepulse
Currently based in Aberdeen, Sabrepulse is a 22 year-old Yorkshire born laptop/chip musician. He was influenced by the 8/16bit videogame era and this is very apparent in his music – and indeed in the recently coined ‘chipbreak’ genre. He started producing music at the beginning of the decade after deciding to rewrite the soundtracks to Amiga 500 classics.
He has recently finished touring the UK as part of the Chiptune Alliance, with Anamanaguchi and Firebrand Boy, and has also toured in Europe this year. I have been listening to his albums and EP’s quite a lot recently and am really enjoying it. Even though the ‘chip’ genre is the main focus for Sabrepulse I hear elements of jungle/drum and bass/breakcore in his work, and I guess thats where the new ‘chipbreak’ comes in.
Something that may only have a limited appeal for the wider community but I am really enjoying listening to it. It is refreshingly different from the mainstream and I think there’s a big amount of potential on top of what has already been achieved.
Merry Christmas to all,
- Stuart
