Blending cutting-edge 8-bit music with Americana smarts, banjoist/programmer Bud Melvin is an unequivocal original, even among the sonic renegades of the Game Boy scene. Though bending Nintendo's devices to unintended ends offers an inherently techno-political commentary, Melvin is something more: a good, old-fashioned songwriter. Discovering that the warm, staccato bleeps of a vintage handheld--sequenced with special software--were a perfect match for high

Bit of an oldie, but I feel like it's maybe got a little staying power. Produced on an off-the-shelf Nintendo Game Boy using the Little Sound DJ tracker software. And an FYI for any physical-format music enthusiasts & collectors — the EP this track is from (titled Information Chase) has just been pressed to vinyl too, with a really cool die-cut sleeve. More info & ordering options on my Bandcamp page.more
