Un nuevo estilo musical está consolidándose en Buenos Aires en la escena underground. Se llama Chip Music, es música de 8 bits realizada mediante viejas consolas de videojuegos hoy en desuso para lo que fueron construidas; Jugar a videojuegos en la década de los 80s y los 90s. Viejas Commodore 64, Atari 2600, Family Games y Gameboys son la inspiración retro de una nueva oleada de músicos y djs que experimentan con aparatos hoy obsoletos para darles una nueva funcionalidad. El mercado de Ringtones, Truetones y Backtones generado por la llegada masiva de la 2da y 3era generación de celulares a Buenos Aires en los últimos 3 años, moviliza esta tendencia.

Sounds interesting...
Didn't Beck Hansen start this trend with the 8 bit remixes on his album 'Guero'???
Nice blog, by the way, even though I don't feel trendy enough to read it, I still added you to my Google Reader feeds list :)
Nunca entendí que carajo tienen que ver los celulares 8|
No, Beck didn't start anything. This is something going on for many more years before it has become "trendy". It started in the mid 80s and developed throughout the 90s gearing towards this latest incarnation you see nowadays.
Check http://8bp050.8bitpeoples.com , which is the recopilatory album showcasing most of the most reknowned artists of the genre in the world. 4Mat and Jeroen Tel, for example, have been on it for at least 20 years.
