Chiptune Album is Out!

After a pretty hectic year of touring and many other projects, I’m glad to finally share my finished 8-bit album titled Tugging on My Heartchips!

This album is mainly inspired by the Gameboy games from my childhood. As a kid, the only gaming console I had was the original gray Gameboy which I spent countless hours playing. Some of those games had incredible soundtracks (Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge are two examples) and I’d often turn on my Gameboy just to listen to the music! No joke, some of those themes would make me tear up.

I tried to capture those magical, nostalgic feelings in this 7 track album. Six of the tracks are original compositions and one is a chiptune arrangement of a Chopin Prelude (which I released as a single a few weeks ago).

Hope you enjoy! Click the cover art to stream or download the album. Thanks for your support. :)

The cover art was drawn by the amazing pixel artist Danc3r.

As a kid, I would often go to my parent’s orchestra rehearsals (they’re both string players), sit on the highest seat of the empty theater and play my Gameboy. I’ll never forget the magical feeling of being immersed in the beautiful, warm sounds of a live orchestra while enjoying my favorite video games. I asked Danc3r to recreate that setting for the album cover and he absolutely nailed it.
