Biography
Chipzel (Niamh Houston) is a Northern Irish musician and video game composer born on 23 September 1991. She built her reputation making chiptune music, often using a Game Boy as her primary instrument. Her most recognized work includes soundtracks for Super Hexagon, Interstellaria, and Dicey Dungeons — games that became cult favorites partly because her music was inseparable from their appeal. Her compositions also appear in Just Shapes and Beats and Spectra. As a composer, she works in the niche intersection of electronic music and interactive media, where a few seconds of audio can define an entire game's identity. Born under Libra, she balances technical precision with melodic hooks that stick in players' heads for years. Her life-path number 7 aligns with the introspective, detail-obsessed nature of her craft — chiptune composition demands both technical knowledge and intuitive musicality.
