about

“2A03” is the name of the sound chip inside Big N’s 8-bit video game console, the Nintendo Entertainment System. To me, it was the 2A03’s distinct sound that gave the console its very own personality. The NES (or Famicom in Japan) sold over 60 million units worldwide. Even today, 25 years after the initial release in 1983, it is still dearly loved by young gamers and ‘veterans’ alike.

This mini album is my very own musical tribute to the golden age of chip music. It was recorded using both original NES hardware and modern studio equipment. If you're a fan of pure, unaltered chip sound, consider buying the full album, as you will receive two bonus tracks for which solely a genuine NES console was used.

A wholehearted Thank You goes to my mother, who encouraged me after 21 years of demoralized idleness to make music again. Last not least I would like to credit my dear friend Adrian (adrians_sunny_illustrations on Instagram) who drew the amazing cover artwork for this release.

This EP is dedicated to my late father Paul Vincent who passed away unexpectedly and way too soon in 2016. Thanks, Dad, for always believing in me and my talents. I miss you!

DanPlaysVideoGames Germany

Born in 1978, I grew up in the golden age of 8-bit games. Mainly Big N's chip music has always been inspiring to me and kindled my love for electronic music.

I took piano lessons from the age of 5 and wrote my first own pieces as a teenager, but feeling overshadowed by my late father, who was a well-known German rock guitarist, I never dared to pursue a professional career in the music business.
