Boston 8-Bit is a music/arts collective based in Boston, Massachusetts, that features 8-bit, chiptune, and glitch music. The collective began as a website created by Chris Mahoney (AKA chiptune artist Active Knowledge) and James Therrien (BRIGHT PRIMATE) to publicise the chiptune music scene in and around Boston.[1]
From October 2009, the collective has created a concert series in Boston, called "Boston 8-Bit presents: Chiptune", which features local, new and veteran musicians from across the country who use gaming systems (particularly the Game Boy and the NES) to produce electronic music and video game art.[2]
