All Composed on a Gameboy.

". . . [B]y the time Davis jumped to his rave-up 'Parapersona Crash,' the walls started to shake and what little hesitation the audience may have had over dancing to a kiddy toy's 'bleeps' and 'bloops' vanished."
- Tom Loftus, MSNBC.com

"Gameboy-driven blipcore"
- Mouthy Magazine
Bit Shifter explores low-bit, high-energy music composed and performed on a Nintendo Game Boy. With no pretensions to IDM of any variety, the music is a deliberately and unapologetically fun foray into the unique and evocative soundset traditionally reserved for video game sound effects and background music, all done on a console generally misperceived as being technically limited. Bit Shifter has performed at The Knitting Factory, The Tank, Northsix, Remote Lounge, Share @ OpenAir, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

I love this stuff... Totally buying the CD from Darla right now.

According to the website, "Life's A Bit Shifter was recorded entirely on a Nintendo Game Boy using DIY musicmaking cartridges Nanoloop and Little Sound DJ."
