It’s an 8 bit kind of world with Yousef Hatlani’s new album

There are certain things in life that are eternally iconic. For most of the senior millennial crowd, that happens to be old school video games. Just as important as the visuals of these games were the sounds that came with it, many of these theme songs often soundtracking our dreams after endless hours of playing. Photographer, webmaster and music appreciator Yousef Hatlani found those notes influential and decided to make a whole album in tribute to them.

Bit by Bit is Hatlani’s debut album, where he transforms these retro game tracks into real songs. Hatlani performed, engineered and mastered Bit by Bit‘s 10 songs on his own in his apartment over the span of several months. He takes on quite a few game songs in his endeavors, like "Dire, Dire Docks" from Super Mario 64, "Spring Yard Zone" from Sonic the Hedgehog and "Tammy" from Street Fighter II, among others.

Its production is perfect and sounds amazing no matter how you listen to it, but the optimum experience can be had listening to it through headphones. Enjoy it below.
