8GB is an audiovisual set developed in 2004 as a natural flow of Akira's activities both visual and musical, and his fixation with old computer hardware utilized in modern working environments.
Aiming towards creating currently listenable beats with old sounds, reminiscing of the technology in use but not being completely dependent on it as to create tunes that are just recognized as 'just another videogame-like tune', 8GB makes an urban blend that can be enjoyed by most any audience interested in fresh new sounds while still retaining appeal for the bleep-obsessed nut.
Starting in Argentina and pretending to gain 'world audiovisual domination' while 'hidden beneath secret identities' as 8-Bit Security Agents, Akira and Blo keep on recruiting followers to their New 8-Bit Order. 8GB has performed in the most varied situations, from bizarre underground miniparties to the top of the commercial circuit in events like Creamfields, South American Music Conference and Onedotzero, passing in 2007 by the most prestigious happening of the Chipmusic scene: The Blip Festival.

akira||8GB : yeah make that overpriced amiga worth it!
The samples are too oldschool for my taste, and you could stereo spatialize it after you record, to avoid the stupid amiga hard panning.
