Excerpt From The Official Site
This is Pretty Hate Machine, re-imagined in its entirety on eight different 8-bit systems, so I’ve named it “Pretty Eight Machine”. Sound configurations include: SID/6581 (Commodore 64), POKEY (Atari 800), straight 2A03 (NES), AY/SCC+ (MSX+Metal Gear 2 or Snatcher cartridge), SN76489 (Sega Master System), 2A03+VRC6 (Famicom+Castlevania 3 cartridge), LR35902 (Game Boy), and OPLL (MSX-MUSIC or Japanese Sega Master System).
The album represents the culmination of so many things:
– the recent celebration of Pretty Hate Machine’s anniversary
– the recent release of the remastered PHM
– my fandom and love for Nine Inch Nails
– my love of old-school computers and game systems
– a hope that Trent Reznor (who likes vintage synths, tech, and gear) and Rob Sheridan (and his pixelated avatar) will enjoy it
– pushing myself to compose for systems I’ve never written music on
A lot of thought, love, blood, sweat, and tears went into this album. I encourage you to explore the info links next to the track names to understand the history behind each one.
