8 Bit Jazz Band
The term "8-bit" refers to the aesthetic derived from early home computers and game consoles whose sound chips generated simple waveforms and noise channels. Jazz, by contrast, is a harmonic, rhythmic, and improvisational tradition with roots in African American music. Combining these yields a distinctive hybrid: the rhythmic and harmonic sophistication of jazz presented through the limited, iconic timbres of early digital synthesis—square waves, pulse waves, triangle waves, and white noise. The 8-Bit Jazz Band is both a compositional approach and a performing ensemble that explores this hybrid.
