Teleidofusion

We (Megus and C-jeff) have loved 8-bit and chiptune music since childhood when we wrote music on ZX Spectrum. For a long time we wanted to do something special in chiptunes. Finally guitar and keyboards which we play, our love for AY/YM chip together with the wish for experiments showed us the way. And so in Autumn 2009 Teleidofusion was born.

“Teleido” root was borrowed from Teleidoscope toy and “fusion” shows our wish to break any genre borders.

Our first album “Around Past” was published in March 2010 on Ubiktune net-label. Album's title has its definite meaning. Most of tracks were composed many years ago on ZX Spectrum. Those days we had only ZX Spectrum and AY-3-8910/YM2149F but the music was begging for more. We tried to make all our ideas real in “Around Past” and so “みなこ (Minako)” got alto-saxophone and “T.W.W.F.” got distorted guitar etc.

A couple of days after album release we played our first live show in Moscow. There weren't a lot of audience but the atmosphere was very nice, thanks to everyone who was there. Concert video is available on our YouTube channel.
