Diggin' in the Carts (2014)

In the second episode of Diggin' in the Carts we take a look at the "bubble era", where inflated stock and real-estate prices in Japan meant that 8-bit technology was soaring: and so was the creativity it inspired. The Konami sound team leader Hidenori Maezawa, and 8-bit composer Masashi Kageyama trace back to the technolgy's roots, uncovering the birth and boom of 8-bit music.
