Reviews Of New Album

"Musically it is exceptional however, brilliant melodies and a real mix of styles proves that when it comes to chip tune music, Pixelh8 delivers a much more mature musicality than his more gimmicky rivals"
Chris Barker ,Future Music Issue 199 April 2008

"This is probably one of the most complicated and intensive chiptune albums I’ve yet to hear...All in all a fantastic album, and may be a landmark album for chiptunes in general in my opinion."
Game Music 4 All

"If you love chiptunes, this is a milestone album, if you are new to chiptunes, this is a great taste of what’s to come. On a scale of 1 to 10, this gets a very high 9."
Hex Warrior, Nerdapalooza

"Pixelh8 once again showcases a great sense of style with a mature range of 8-bit music. All 10 tracks are unique, the album takes the chiptune movement to a new level and everything about it is super cool!"
Lauren Coles, IP1 Magazine

"This is a must-have purchase."
The Game Dame

"While some of the new chiptune movement does take some of the 8 bit music, very often it does mix it with modern sounds and production, but Pixelh8 is the real thing. In his second release, "The Boy With The Digital Heart", you will only find the true thing." Gonçalo Vasco, Connexion Bizarre

Pixelh8 (pronounced "pixel hate") is an act which started life as a side project. Pixelh8 is one of many of Matthew's "characters", this one with a specific love/hatred of video games, toys, and educational toys, combining elements of Circuit Bending, reverse engineering and Chip Tunes.

Pixelh8 combines the sounds of video games and toys, often those that have been reverse enginereed to avoid either copyright infringement or plagerism to form original compositions. Pixelh8 has also used self made video game software like Pixelh8 Music Tech Gameboy Synth.

Like many artists, Pixelh8 started off relatively unknown on Myspace and was widely discovered after entering a competition to open for Imogen Heap on her UK tour.

Pixelh8 continues to release music on the record label Hidden Youth Records and is currenty working a  series of hardware items for various vintage consoles. Such as the Pixelh8 Music Tech Gameboy Synth for the gameboy and the Pixelh8 Music Tech ZX Synth for the zx spectrum.

Pixelh8 is also known for his "diary of madness" on youtube.com which looks into circuit bending and chip tune music via a video blog.
