Watch Out For Snakes

Watch Out For Snakes is the pseudonym of Atlanta-based musician and producer Matt Baum. He is often credited as a pioneer of the chipwave genre, fusing elements of chiptune and synthwave.
He is also known for placing emphasis on his live performances, which employ a keytar and have been characterized as high-energy and aggressive. He has participated in a number of synthwave, chiptune, and video game music festivals including Echosynthetic Fest, Neon Rose Fest, and MAGFest.
Baum synthesizes his chiptune instrumentation from the Nintendo and Game Boy video game systems. His albums have been described as imaginary video game soundtracks and he has stated that they draw thematically from personal events in his own life.
