8bit

The 8bit system was formed in 2001 under the Digital One Sound Gallery project — the Siberian underground community which brought up a range of bright names, widely-known in the narrow modern art circles of Western Siberia.

Three old noisy 8-bits drum-machines, which were not commuted and hard to synchronize. All data was stored in operating memory and was deleted after the machines were unplugged. Retro futuristic stories about robots and computers recorded in the soviet times played on the turntables. Sometimes it was Electro, sometimes Techno, sometimes Noise, but, in general, rather Techno, Dirty Analog Techno.

Participants: D1, Sly Boots, Haikoo.

The most important 8bit live acts:
— multimedia festival 'Per Gunt', 'Museum Night' (Krasnoyarsk Museum Centre),
— Symposium V (Kemerovo),
— Electronic music festival 'Siberia-Germany Transit' (Novosibirsk–Krasnoyarsk–Tomsk),
— SunVibes open-air (Altai),
— Clubtransemediale`04 (Berlin)
