Bit Shifter

563 fans

Bit Shifter explores high-impact, low-res music using primitive synthesis as a deliberate aesthetic choice. In a distillation of the less-is-more philosophy, Bit Shifter operates with a standard off-the-shelf Game Boy as a means of exploring the aesthetics of economy, pushing minimal hardware to its maximum.
