BIO:
-----------------------------------------
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. Merged into his kiken.corporation "world", with
the help of Bubblo on the visuals, 8GB aims towards creating currently listenable
beats with old computer data, making 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 World Order.
8GB has performed in the most varied situations, from the best microparties like
Microdisko Stockholm to the top of the commercial electronic music circuit
in events like Creamfields, South American Music Conference and Onedotzero,
passing through the one and only, world reknowned, most important event of
8-Bit Music in the world, the Blip Festival in New York City, USA
