Bio / Background
Philadelphia's convert to 8 bit is an evolving collective of musicians determined to bring their diverse electronic music to the masses. With a sound that incorporates elements of industrial, electronica, idm, trip hop, and drum and bass, convert to 8 bit employs modern software to blur the line between live instrumentation and computer aided sound generation.
Originally conceived as a solo project, convert to 8 bit was founded by multi-instrumentalist and former lead vocalist S.L.Ferreiro. As Ferreiro's vision for the band evolved, he recruited David Wm. Breitmaier (drums/vocals), Teresa Centrone (sampling,digital manipulation,synths), Samantha Ferreiro (guitars/synth/ vocals), and Alison Polsky (synths/ vocals). The band began performing in January of 2004, playing as many as three venues a month throughout the year. In October of 2004 they released their debut album, the generation of sleep, on boundbyrecordings, the independent label founded by Ferreiro.
