88bit Cleveland, Ohio
88bit is the alter ego of Cleveland-based pianist, Rob Kovacs, where he performs note-for-note piano arrangements of classic
video game soundtracks from the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Kovacs’ performances are unique in that they recreate early electronic music that was never intended to be performed by humans, stretching the limits of traditional piano playing.

RETROGRESSION: VOL.1
by Stemage
This short album is insane. Stemage and crew perform classic VGM hits BACKWARDS. And then, just to prove that they did this accurately, the tracks are all reversed. Pure genius.

Forever Famicom
by Mega Ran & K-Murdock (Bits & Rhymes)
A fantastic nerdcore record. K-Murdock's beats are both nostalgic and fresh. Dream Master is an incredible track with Mega Ran's autobiographical and poignant lyrics.

2010 Vision Mix
by Return of Simple
My piano rock band. These are some of the best songs I had written up until 2010. In the same vein as Ben Folds, Sufjan Stevens and Steve Reich.
