In this week’s episode Andy chats to keytar wielding, 8-bit chipwave pioneer Matt Baum, otherwise known as Watch Out For Snakes. With musical roots in the hardcore/punk scene, Matt is well known for his 80s videogame inspired, high-energy tracks and his punchy live performances. Matt takes us behind his music, his early days in the scene and what inspires his distinct sound. Insert coin and enjoy this chiptune special on Beyond Synth: the best synthwave chat show there is.
