Pieces of 8-Bit breathes new life into retro video game music. I am dedicated to faithfully restoring retro video game music for your enjoyment, for educational purposes, and for posterity. I am passionate about retro gaming because I lived it, and the songs I hummed along to as I played became the reason I am a musician today. This channel is my way of giving back -- it is an homage to those composers who changed my life.

My focus is on games from the late 70s to the late 90s. I try to keep things as accurate to the original as possible, with the aim of remaking the soundtrack in the way I believe the original composer would have done it if they had the technology of today.
