...and pretty much any other music platform
We set out to explore the moon after our scanners picked up a signal from the surface that tripped them up. It is a clear sign of intelligent life. Is it friendly? Hostile? Whatever it is– it really likes dancing.
"Bubble Bytes" is a delightful and diverse collection of chiptune/8-bit songs by TheMordent. These tracks were made at different points throughout the past 3 years, with 2 of them being brand-new and 5 being remastered for this release. This collection features engaging performances of tracks inspired audibly by their respective names, as well as individual music videos for each track. "Bubble Bytes" culminates in the production of its first track, Bubblegum Gambit, complete with vocals (a first for me) and a polished mix.
Thanks to Leila Arnaut (@lei.dle on IG, @lei_dle on Twitter) for the captivating cover art.
Thanks to Willa Eacret (@willaeacret on IG, from Eacret & Ledeboer) for the lovely lyrics.
Thanks to Iowa State Univerisity Focus Grant Program for sponsoring this project.
Enjoy!
