I'm pretty sure my generation can all agree that Nintendo was a staple throughout our childhoods. Because of such heavy use, it seems like those 8-bit sounds have been embedded deeply into our heads. No matter how bad or outdated they may sound, we still cling to them. That is why I'm proud to introduce to you a local Canadian who goes by the name of
Brad Smith (
Sakanakao on YouTube) who continues to bring us these sounds, but with a modern approach. Smith is a video game programmer, musician and
8-bit remixer who's done the unthinkable and combined those soothing sounds with the epic
Dark Side of the Moon! Not a huge fan of all these remakes but I decided to get with the times and except a few here and there.
Check out the final product below, download the free album HERE and tell me what you think. It could of been sped up a tab in the beginning but still... magnÃfico!
He used a mere 3 programs to create this piece (
Famitracker,
Digital Sound Antiques, and
Audacity).
If you like what you, support Brad and check out his catalog of music

Once again, great job!
If you know any other 8-bit music worth a listen, let me know about it.
