For 2026, 8bitsf's annual GDC mega-concert POW returns for its epic FOURTEENTH year, co-presented by MAGFest! Join us for a complete sensory overload of chiptune and video-game-themed live music madness, featuring lush visuals and a celebration of indie gaming.
@aivisura began as internet friends, making music together from a keyboard in San Francisco and a chiptune tracker in Stockholm. 14 years later, they're married and have become an award-winning composition duo most known for their instrumental music for Steven Universe, the beloved animated series that has opened doors for LGBTQ+ representation in children's television. Their unmistakable sound combines sincere piano with energetic chiptunes into a genre-bending style that they call "digital fusion". Their latest album Meanwhile was released by Infloresce Records in 2023.
@milesmorkri (they/them) is a composer and musician based in Minneapolis. Their music blends a minimalist foundation with jazz harmony, intricate rhythms, and emotional lyricism.
Featuring Stemage on guitar.
Visuals - Claire Kwong connects art and technology to make people move. She creates immersive environments using projection and motion capture.
