about

Sometimes noisy, sometimes nice, Bit Shifter's debut full-length Life's A Bit Shifter is presented here in an expanded 2013 edition, fully remastered by Stephen Roessner of Calibrated Recording. Originally released in 2003, the album offers an early snapshot of unconstrained discovery and exploration of the Game Boy soundset; a patchwork collection whose unrefined edges are smoothed out by an earnestly inquisitive spirit. This edition adds several bonus tracks, most seeing release here for the first time.

Bit Shifter Brooklyn, New York

Since 2001, NYC's Bit Shifter has been among those leading the charge in the underground movement known as chipstyle music, exploring high-impact, low-res music made using primitive synthesis as a deliberate aesthetic choice. Armed only with two 30-year-old handhelds, Bit Shifter leaves high-end computer music choking on his exhaust, bringing twice the rock with 0.002% of the processing power. ... more
