💨 Abstract

Charlie Rosen, composer of The 8-Bit Big Band, discusses the evolution of video game music and his upcoming London show. The band, known for jazz arrangements of classic video game tunes, transformed an old 8-bit Kirby track into a Grammy-winning piece. Rosen, influenced by a trip to Japan and traditional Japanese instruments, aims to preserve the distinctive sound of chiptune music in his compositions.
