With under 3 minutes of music, Kondo put to rest an era of bleeps and bloops-the sterile products of a lab environment-replacing it with one in which game sounds constituted a legitimate form of artistic expression. Author Andrew Schartmann takes us through the various external factors (e.g., advances in technology, Nintendo's marketing tactics) that coalesced into a ripe environment in which Kondo's musical experiments could thrive. He then delves into the music itself, searching for reasons why our hearts still dance to the primitive 8-bit tunes of a bygone era.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616151818398,"sku":"UBD-9781628928532","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781628928532.jpg?v=1773810552","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781628928532","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
