SAVE FACUNDO
One of my bestest friends Facundo has been facing a serious uphill battle to remain in the country, a lot of you already know him/how awesome he is. I DON’T WANT FACUNDO TO GO. I’m setting up a Bandcamp site to re-host releases from a bunch of artists, with donations going directly to the legal battle.
If you’re a musician and want to make a difference, you can! If you have a Bandcamp account already, email a link to your contribution to chris@boston8bit.com. Include artist/album info, the minimum donation you’d like to set for purchase and any special message you’d like to place on your page. If you don’t have a Bandcamp account, that’s okay! Just email chris@boston8bit.com with the same info and I’ll arrange to receive audio files from you. WAV/AIFF/FLAC only, please.
Thank you, every little bit counts!
Your pal,
-Chris

INFINITE album released!
Hi everyone,
I’m beyond excited to announce that my second album, INFINITE, is now available for purchase/download at my Bandcamp site. It’s a collection of songs I wrote between 2008-2010, with a general theme of how absolutely incredible the entire Universe is and how much fun you should have in it. The CD is $6 which gets you the Bandcamp download for free as well, but there are also set-your-own-price and free download options. I appreciate all of the support I’ve received since I started this little adventure, and all the new friends I’ve made as a result - you guys are the only reason I could ever keep this going!
Cheers,
-Chris
‘INFINITE’ CD Release Sept. 4 @ Middle East!
Hey all,
So apparently I don’t update this website nearly enough, as penance I have posted 3 Active Knowledge wallpapers to the new Art section. I’ll take fan art too, so feel free to e-mail me some of that if you feel so inclined. More importantly though is the fact that INFINITE will be released in physical disc form at CHIPTUNE X! It’s taking place on Saturday, 9/4 at the Middle East in Cambridge and will feature about 3-4 other CD releases at the same time! 8bit bEtty, misfitchris, Br1ght Pr1mate and more will be performing - YOU SHOULD BE THERE! :-D

Pyramid Neon CD released!
After 3 years of waiting, I’ve finally been able to put together the physical release of my first album, Pyramid Neon! It can be purchased at my new store website, store.activeknowledgemusic.com for $10, or $6 for the MP3s. All proceeds from the album will be put toward the release of my second full-length album this summer! Of course, my music will still remain free of charge to download at listen.activeknowledgemusic.com, but your support is greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone that has made this possible, you’re all the reason for everything I do! :-)
Cheers,
-Chris

Hiroyuki Iwatsuki tribute album released!
Hey everyone, earlier this year I contributed to a tribute album called IWADON - It was created in tribute of Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, who has composed soundtracks for various Natsume games for the past 20 years. My contribution is the final boss theme from the SNES game ‘Wild Guns’, you can find it on the site (link in the image above) by scrolling down and checking out page 4 in the artist listing. Look for the BOSTON8BIT logo!
Thanks go to Jeriaska and Genoboost from Game Music 4 All for all of their hard work in making this happen!
