is Jeremiah Johnson.
Born, California. Currently living in New York.
Affiliated with 8bitpeoples, Phantasy, Pixelpod, Micromusic.
A recent graduate from the Columbia University School of Engineering
and Applied Science where he studied computer science and music, Nullsleep
has tried to bring these two areas of study together in his work. In
1999, together with friend Mike Hanlon from Detroit, he cofounded the
8bitpeoples, a collective of artists interested in the audio/video aesthetics
of 8bit computers and videogames. In the time since, Nullsleep has released
a number of recordings through 8bitpeoples, ranging in style from the
mixture of urban field recordings and processed arcade samples of the
Click Bleep Click EP to the chiptune rock found on The Gameboy Singles
2002. Some of his most recent work has included programming music on
the Nintendo Gameboy and Nintendo Entertainment System platforms. He
has also become more active in hardware hacking projects. Examples include
modifying NES cartridges and participating in the design and construction
of the Zynth80, a polyphonic midi-controlled analogue synthesizer based
around the Z80 microprocessor.
