8-Bit OPERATORS
An 8-Bit tribute to the music of KRAFTWERK.

* EXCLUSIVE 12INCH SINGLE OUT NOW!
* 15 TRACK CD OUT NOW!

on ASTRALWERKS.

"People grew up immersed in this stuff – that 8-bit, blippy sound speaks to them on a deep level. It’s taking back a pure and total part of our childhood and turning it into something crazy and new" – Mike Rosenthal, artistic director, Blip Festival, NYC in XLR8R magazine, November 2006

A labor of love, many years in the making, Astralwerks is pleased to present a various artist covers compilation, featuring interpretations of classic Kraftwerk songs, arranged primarily on lo-bit handheld gaming devices, vintage video game consoles and obsolete 8 bit home computers, revered for the rich and distinctive sound of their lo-bit microchips. This video game-influenced branch of electronic music, sometimes referred to as ‘chiptune’, ‘bitpop’ or just ‘8-bit’, has developed a flourishing international live scene, and is one of the first new genres of music to use the internet to its fullest advantage, with the advent of home-brewed synth cartridges and hacker influenced musical tools.

As one of the New York chip artists Glomag said in a 2004 Art Forum interview, "We've made Kraftwerk's phrase 'I'm the operator with my Pocket Calculator' more apt than ever”.

Conceived and compiled by long-time electronic artist and 8-bit composer Jeremy Kolosine(a.k.a. Receptors), the 8-BIT OPERATORS collection features some of the top 8-bit artists from North America, South America and Europe, a selection of the best musical innovators, and several of the inventors themselves.

    CoS Kolosine Interview, final Part 6

    CoS Audiography: Episode 015: "An Interview with Jeremy Kolosine, part 6" By Len Comaratta on July 18th, 2011 in CoS Audiography , CoS Exclusive Features + Bookmark & Share In this edition of Audiography, I conclude my conversation with 8-bit musician and chip music and synthpunk pioneer Jeremy Kolosine. With his band Shakespace, Kolosine found himself remixing many of the band's tracks for inclusion on their albums. This passion for remixing eventually led him to begin working on his own after the band ended. Recording under the name Receptors, Kolosine began to experiment and explore the sounds that he could make with 4-bit and 8-bit systems like Ataris and Gameboys. Eventually, he evolved into the 16-bit realm of the Nintendo DS. Quite the prolific artist over the past decade, Kolosine has recorded in Shakespace, as Receptors, as k-sine, and he is currently working on his first project under his full name. He has toured the world and played with symphonies. He has also found time to produce two 8-bit tribute compilations, one for Kraftwerk and one for the Beatles, about which we go into further detail. More information is available at Jeremy Kolosine's website www.receptorsmusic.com . ​Are you enjoying Audiography? Subscribe to the Podcast via iTunes! ​ ​Featured Music:​ 01. Receptors – "Everything Fades Away (Ksine Moog Rogue Version)" 02. Receptors – "We R Receptors" 03. Receptors – "I'm Mellow" 04. Sloopygoop – "Sgt.
