If you’re inspired by the chiptunes and circuit-bending efforts of the many geek-musicians that have emerged in recent years, you can try your hand at the craft without an 8-bit TV-Computer with 8 Bit Weapon: A Chiptune Odyssey, Sony Creative Software’s collection of low-fi sounds culled from some of the most popular old school PCs and gaming consoles of the ’70s and ’80s. The creation of 8 Bit Weapon, a reknowned chiptunes band, the $40 disc features sounds from the Apple II, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, NES, and more that you can use in a variety of audio apps such as Cubase and GarageBand. Those that purchase the downloadable version will receive 8 Bit Weapon’s Electric High EP, plus an exclusive bonus track, “Breakbeat Bonanza”! Bionic basslines and dusty drums? Yes, please.
