Zen Albatross
By day, Brooklyn journalist Joshua Kopstein worriedly studies the rapidly decaying culture of information politics, technology and creative freedom. As Zen Albatross, he processes these anxieties into cathartic expressions of audible violence, crafting colossal obelisks of hip-shaking sound using the antiquated circuitry of a Nintendo Game Boy. His fascination with chip music, its history and associated disciplines has led him to speak and perform in cities across the US, as well as publish articles on the subject for various outlets including VICE Magazine’s Motherboard.tv, Racketboy and Original Sound Version.
