More on 8 Bit Weapon
Description from Wikipedia:
8 Bit Weapon is a chiptune music band created by Seth Sternberger. 8 Bit Weapons' instrument set is primarily composed of old 8-bit and 16-bit computers (with 8 bit audio output) such as the Commodore Vic-20, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Commodore Amiga 500, and the Apple II, as well as game consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Atari 2600, and an Intellivision synthesizer.
8 Bit Weapon started around 1999 by remixing Commodore 64 SID tunes like Crazy Comets, M.U.L.E., and some Nintendo N.E.S. game music such as Super Mario Bros 2, and Metroid. Both the SID remixes can be heard on the album titled "Confidential 1.0" and the Nintendo remixes on the official 8 Bit Weapon website. Later on, 8 Bit weapon began writing original music using the C64, Nintendo Game Boy, and N.E.S., as well as other 8 bit consoles and computers.
8 Bit Weapon has become well known recently after favorable coverage in the Los Angeles Times, A live performance on G4's Attack of the Show , and performances at E3 2004, 2005, and 2006. According to Sternberger, 8 Bit Weapon is also involved in projects with Disney and Nokia. The project with Nokia is the the soundtrack for Reset Generation (previously known under the code name "Project White Rock"), a game by RedLynx for N-Gage 2.0 and PCs.
Xbox’s exclusive Halo 2 E3 2004 preview event had its own soundtrack written and produced by 8 Bit Weapon. The score was 15 minutes long and was played continuously in the gaming area of the party.
