Comment: Benjamin Briggs is a chiptune producer from Indiana, USA whose batch of 4 pieces is characterized by Snake Man, a game-relied theme. Briggs` oeuvre is a gritty pixelation of sawtooth-shaped rhythms, suggestive psychedelic turns, a naive concept and the upbeat motif. Additionally, Briggs likes to vary and reshuffle tones and phases therefore giving his music a distinctive feeling. In general, because of its predominantly emotive functioning and less its adventurous nature the set can be considered an instance of chill out music. It is fun rather than "serious" electronica.
