Ruby Rainbow: An Immersive Electronic Experience

Picture this: a crowded basement filled with swaying college students. Dim lighting and strobe lights distracting from the clutter in the room. Sweaty bodies, sloshing beer cups. Scattered shouts and cheers filling the cloudy and humid air. This is the college experience.

The college basement shows I have attended in the past are usually one of two genres - indie pop, or rap. But the headliner for tonight changed the game - Ruby Rainbow. Her music was unlike any I had ever heard before. I later found out that the genre is called Chiptune or 8-bit, a style of synthesized electronic music that originated in the late 1970’s-early 1980’s in Japan. It is characterized by its heavy use of the programmable sound generator sound bits in vintage computer games, video games, and arcade games.

Ruby Rainbow bounced onto the stage in a rainbow tutu, high pigtails, and a rainbow bow almost as big as her 5’3” frame. Just her, her Alesis midi keyboard, and a loop pedal occupied the makeshift stage. She was absolutely entrancing. Ruby Rainbow’s tracks may be void of lyrics, but she gets her point across eloquently and clearly. Her music is reminiscent of a simpler time, of childhood. As the electronic music infiltrated my ears, the rainbow strobe lights flashing in my eyes, and the pungent smell of marijuana sneaking up my nose, my senses felt completely overwhelmed in the most wonderful way. I felt like I was inside a cartoonized video game, or perhaps on a euphoric acid trip - or maybe stuck in a video game on an acid trip. She performed a few songs from her album Choose Your Own Adventure (available on Spotify). Two highlights from the performance were “The Caves in the Mountains” and “Under the Cover of Starlight”. 

“The Caves in the Mountains”, her second song, was a complex track that began with an electronic string instrument plucking a campy melody. A beeping sound in varying pitches then entered the mix. Soon after that came high-pitched electronic horns, and then rhythmic chimes. In the background were electronic video game gun noises - think pew! The song then transitioned into a more cohesive sound, with a guitar strumming full chords, and horns playing a harmony. Conflicting melodies created dissonance yet somehow simultaneously complemented one another. The melody began to build, with chords that evoked a sense of hope, exploration, and home. Then, just as soon as it began, it returned to its dissociative beginning and slowly faded out.

The closing song she played was entitled “Under the Cover of Starlight”. In comparison to her previous tracks, it had a slow tempo and dark melody. It reminded me of a song called “Intro” by the XX. It began with a simple melodic line played by the harpsichord. After a few measures a piano line came in. The various melodies - that were elementary on their own - combined with a groovy beat amounted to an enchanting and captivating musical creation. The audience was raptured by this piece; the sense of connectedness and unity in the crowd was palpable. This was the entire setlist for the performance:

 “Cartoon Villains”

“The Caves in the Mountains”

“In the Village”

“Watching the Clouds”

“Spin the Robot”

“Candy Land”

“Taking the Shortcut”

“Midnight Daydreams”

“Under the Cover of Starlight”

If you asked me if I was a fan of Ruby Rainbow’s music, I would say I’m not quite sure. I do not think I’m a fan of the genre Chiptune in general, however, Ruby Rainbow is an incredible performer. Her magnetic personality combined with her natural musical sense and unique stage presence makes for a performance you will never forget.
