Artifact Search by Rei8bit

"古くに忘却され、知ることのなかった未開の地を探求する。あらゆる単純波形をまとった音楽の誘掖とともに...。"

"Artifact Search" is Rei8bit's 5th album, that is inspired by strange ancient ruins and hidden materials in distant and unknown places.

This album is the result of a year of research on the N163 (wavetable resampling, wavetable-bank optimization, etc.), technical chiptuning techniques, and exploration of various musical styles on FamiTracker/FamiStudio, also this is a major turning point in my future musical activities.
I'm happy to have released it, and at the same time I'll creating even cooler and more experimental works in the future.
