So its the morning after the laptop battle and I am just sitting in Andrew Luck’s living room with Andrew, Graintable and Kris Moon.

As you may have noticed my the title of this post… I won the Seattle Laptop Battle!

Super epic.  It turn out that the final battle was between myself and my Runriot records label-mate Gaintable!!

Here are some videos taken of the epic battles :P

Here is some video taken from backstage care of Graintable.

I must say that in all the years of being involved with laptop battle I had never seen such an amazing amount of talent.  I have crazy amounts of respect for everyone involved.  and once I can get a chance to straighten out some business I intend on sharing more about each of them.

that said here is a tiny bit of Graintable’s set I found when I went looking for video.

and here is a commemorative drawing of us celebrating after
Celebrations!!

Well… alright there you go. Tonight I am doing a show called  Merry Glitchmas! with Graintable.

see ya soon

I will be using this as my laptop battle image for the 2009 seattle battle

Oh mama! THIS FRIDAY DECEMBER 18th, 2009 @ CHOP SUEY!!! The Seattle Laptop Battle 2009!

For the last few years I have been involved in some way or another with Kris Moon’s Laptop Battle. Up until now I have been a featured performer or one of the judges… but never a contestant.

This year I will be competing for the Seattle crown and I couldnt be more excited.

Here are the rules.

RULE1

Contestants are allowed to use 1 midi controller.

RULE2

Contestant may use 1 external sound card

RULE3

All of the contestants gear must fit within a 2′x2′ area.

RULE4

Rounds are determined randomly, and order of play is determined with a coin toss.

RULE5

Rounds are 3 minutes long.

RULE6

External audio devices are not allowed. All audio must come from laptop. Onboard Mic’s are acceptable.

(this rule is a bitch for me considering I work with two outboard KP2′s so needless to say I will be playing handicaped)

RULE7

Rounds are determined by judges.

I think this video is hillarious because for some reason we start yelling “bough bough bough!!!”…  I guess we were just really stoked…

maybe we thought we were extra cool to be hanging out with DJ Collage AKA Mr. Chatman

ha!
