[edit] Biography

Forming in 2001[1], Chrism and Fenris are notable for their eccentric circuit bending approach to retro computing electronic music. Using rewired and custom programmed Commodore 64's, a custom programmed Game Boy Advance and other musical equipment, they create improvised chiptunes and gameboy music.[2] Their 8 bit music has been described as "immersive, engaging, hypnotic and unique."[3] and "more hip-hop these days, with a few genuine rhythms amongst the Atari Teenage Riot endings."[4]

In 2004 Chrism and Fenris was featured as part of the lineup at the Electrofringe Festival in Newcastle, New South Wales, and the Straight Out Of Brisbane festival in Queensland.[5]

Chrism and Fenris were nominated for the Best Live Electronic Act WAMi award in 2005[6] and 2006.[7]
