8-bit Empire

"'I grew up in Berlin. The artists in Germany made a fresh start after the Hitler regime. They thought that if a society that evil came out from the art created before it, then we must invent a new way of thinking and creating.'

"The 26-song album of Game Boy music he released the following year documents the vibe of that time, just a decade after the Berlin wall came down."

Nathan Meunier documents the rise of the 8-bit music scene.
