Biography

Chris Burke, aka Glomag, has been writing music on Game Boys since 2001, working with Nanoloop and LSDJ applications. It is his contention that his interest in music grew out of an early obsession with Astroboy, coupled with the formative experience of finding a trilobite fossil in his schoolyard and further ingrained as an adult when he ripped a label from a maple syrup tin to find strange, colorful images hidden beneath. He once pulled a small pile of aluminum cones from a garbage dumpster and attempted to sell them to the Museum of Modern Art.

He has performed in and around the United States and Europe and his compositions have been presented at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the American Center in Paris, the Blip Festival in New York City and on television and radio in the US, Belgium, France and Spain.

More recently he has been writing and directing the video series “This Spartan Life”, a “talk show in gamespace”, which is videotaped in the game “Halo 3” and features his music along with other chiptune artists.
