Here’s something a little different that may intrigue those of you out there who are currently stuck somewhere between your old Atari 2600 and that PlayStation2.  On Wednesday, June 26 there is going to be a Write Your Own Nintendo Music Workshop at ourspace on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall (located below the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar).  And yes, you read that correctly. 

The workshop begins at 7pm and is hosted by Brendan from MAGfest (Music And Gaming Festival).  Cost is $5 and the proceeds all go to ourspace.  I can almost hear the sweet sounds of up, down, up, down, A, B, Start right now.

Write Your Own Nintendo Music Workshop
Wednesday, June 25 at 7pm
ourspace @ 414 E. Main Streeet

Remember that old Nintendo? Maybe it’s sitting in your basement. Maybe it’s lovingly kept in your home entertainment center. No matter where it is, if you liked the music that came out of it, this panel is for you. After a quick history lesson, you’ll get the chance to try your own hand at creating some 8-bit sound and music. Bring your own laptop and we’ll even give you free music software and examples, or if you prefer, just relax and absorb the tunes and information. Anyone of any age can do it, so come on down to OurSpace where the retro beeps await.  With Brendan of MAGfest.
$5 cover, all going to ourspace.
