Sabrepulse

Sabrepulse is a 22 year-old Yorkshire born laptop/chip musician currently based in Aberdeen, Scotland while at university.

Ash, who in late February announced retirement from the world of chiptunes in order to concentrate on things other than music and while the retirement hasn’t been claimed to be permanent he has said that “I think that if I was to start writing music again I’d like to start fresh, learn an instrument, learn to sing or something similar.” and since then has returned to the industry with a fresh new look and sound for the era.

Sabrepulse is currently touring the UK as part of the Chiptune Alliance with [[Anamanaguchi]] and [[Firebrand Boy]] and also has tours organised in Europe this year.

From an early age heavily influenced by the sights and sounds of the 8/16bit videogame era, he came to start sequencing music in late 2001 after deciding to rewrite the soundtracks to seminal Amiga 500 classics, notably 'Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters' (however, it does seem he's the only one who's ever heard of it).

Fast forward half a decade and a mix of styles have emerged; primarily centering his efforts on a genre recently coined 'chipbreak' - sounding somewhat like a fusion between chip/jungle/breakcore/dnb and hardcore - Sabrepulse has also dipped his toe into crumply, glitchy idm and breakbeat. He played live regularly across the uk, records/performs as half of the glitch/sinecore duo 'GUSH OVEN' (alongside Smile For The Cameraman, Honey!) and is part of several diy/netlabels in the UK, US and Japan.
