What Happened to Chiptune is a podcast about the rise and fall (and rise?) of the chiptune scene where I (Space Town) will be interviewing former and current members of the worldwide scene about their experiences, stories, and histories with chiptune.
Today’s episode features Michael Raisner, aka Nestrogen. Nestrogen is a musician and recording engineer based in Florida, whose musical work deals with the harsher side of chiptune. While I’m most familiar with harsh chiptune through the chipthrash subgenre, Nestrogen takes a more traditional approach combining live vocals and instrumentation with high-speed Gameboy parts to create a punk and hardcore inspired chiptune sound. In this episode we get into the influence of Nestrogen’s prior musical history on his chiptune work, bridging the gap between the digital and physical scenes of chiptune, and the effect that growing up has on one’s desire to remain in the chiptune scene.
