Pieces of 8-bit's HQ Remakes

Pieces of 8-Bit breathes new life into old 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.

I'm back! It'll take me a bit to get my sea legs under me, but I've got some real treasures coming up.

I hope the new year finds you well. I have successfully upgraded my system and I am currently rushing to get all of my software sorted out. I appreciate everyone's patience and I want you to know that I will be back as soon as possible. If I had to guess I'd put it around a week, but if I am able to get anything out faster, you know I'm going to do that. This might not be fun right now, but it will soon pay off.

P.S. The new hardware is amazing and this should mark a new era for this channel. Stay tuned!

I want to wish each and every one of you a Happy Holidays (where applicable), and thank you all for your support. If I am away for a time, it is because the pending upgrades to my studio did not go well, but I assure you that I will return as soon as possible, better than ever. In that event, I thank you for your patience.

I'd like to raise awareness on efforts to get developers to leave games in a playable state.
