Yay, my first video on Tumblr.

Nerdy Show doesn’t have a monopoly on going dormant for years at a time - why, twelve years ago, legendary chiptunes artist, Pixelh8, stepped away from music. He turned from pioneering musician to pioneering educator and founded The Creative Computing Club. But no sonic wizard stays entombed forever! Pixelh8 is back! His new record, Hard Reset, is out now, further new projects await, and we've dusted off Nerdy Show to give this old pal a warm welcome home.

In this episode, @catblackard and @cmdrjessie travel with Pixelh8 trough his new album, track by track, and learn crazy tales like how his first acting gig, on the set of a Tollywood movie, led to him programming a song on decommissioned missile hardware. We'll also discuss the how’s and whys of his departure from music and everything that happened in between, the various eras of chiptune music, his work reclaiming computer chips from dying consoles to build new instruments, spending six hours to make an anime sound on the NES, and much more.

And this is just 1/2 of the interview - you can hear the rest on Cat and Jess' other show, @mothershewrote, where Pixelh8 gives profound musical insight into how music was made on the NES and what makes the score to the first EarthBound game so special.
