Chiptunes are back in style in the retro scene. On of the people keeping this classic 80s and 90s computer music alive is Tekmann, who does his music on two Gameboys. He avoids doing to much post-work on the tunes he composes and instead prefers letting the real hardware doing the heavy lifting. It’s as real as it gets! Today we meet him in an interview where he talks about his creative approach, his “lone wolf” musician hobby and exactly how much he likes touring… That is when can, as the Corona puts quite a damper on it. You will also get to know why a Dead Mau5 looking super hero outfit is his prefered outfit when performing.
