For me, there’s something inherently enjoyable about 8-bit / chiptunes music that supercedes talent. Even if a song is bad, it’s interesting because it was made with such limited tools. Fortunately, the work of Joshua Morse isn’t just interesting because of how it was made. The songs are engaging and surpass the novelty angle you’d suspect most videogame inspired music would. (Okay, some parts of “Star Weaver” crack me up but that doesn’t mean I don’t legitimately love the energy and homage aspect of “Turtle Dance 2”).
