GB_Sounds

Fixed Media- Nintendo Gameboy

approx. 5-10 minutes in duration

Completed Winter 2020 in Baton Rouge, LA.

GB_Sounds is a fixed media composition coded as a rom to be ran on a Nintendo Gameboy. The final product is available in three different formats:

Physical Gameboy cartridge
Digital Rom file
Recorded audio file

In writing this work, I began by hand writing the desired pitches, timbres, and durations for each note. I then used this Gameboy rom to determine the line of code needed to trigger the desired sound and timbre. It was these lines of code that I used when programming the final rom. Below are screenshots from this software.
