Guitar virtuoso, chip music creator, visual artist and Philadelphian educator. Mariano, famous for his Game Boy pedal mod and for being the author of the popularisation of the 8-bit effects pedal, continues to innovate the performance of this type of music. In his live performances, he pushes chiptune to its limits, looping with his feet and unleashing progressive, improvised guitar solos firmly rooted in his strict jazz background. Mariano is at the forefront of the emerging Philadelphian chip music scene where he is a regular conspirator alongside iimusic.net [Pause], 8bitpeoples and the New York chip music scene as a whole.
