Music has been revolutionized. It was first made by using human body parts (i.e. whistling, clapping), then it went to using musical instruments ( guitars, drums) and now by technological instruments, like DJ turntables or computer applications to make beats. Now music has been taken a step further by using old technology, 8-bit technology. In youtube, many people use 8-bit to make their own covers/remixes of their favorite songs. So far, I am liking what I am hearing. It reminds me of playing my old video games. Here’s a few examples.
