Joli générique d'un documentaire sur les musiciens qui travaillent à partir d'outils 8-bits, vous savez, par exemple les musiques de jeux vidéo sur Game Boy, Master System ou NES.
EUROPE IN 8 BITS is a documentary directed by Javier Polo that explores the world of chip music, a new musical trend that is growing exponentially throughout Europe. The stars of this musical movement reveal to us how to reuse old videogames hardware like Nintendo’s GameBoy, NES, Atari ST, Amiga and the Commodore 64 to turn them into a tool capable of creating a new sound, a modern tempo and an innovative musical style. This is a new way of interpreting music performed by a great many artists who show their skills in turning these “limited” machines designed for leisure in the 80’s into surprising musical instruments and graphical tools. It will leave nobody indifferent.
The purpose of this documentary is to spread the existence of a different musical universe, based on the use of computers and consoles of the 8bits age among the general public.
