Nerdy Show doesn’t have a monopoly on going dormant for years at a time - why, twelve years ago, legendary chiptunes artist, Pixelh8, stepped away from music. He turned from pioneering musician to pioneering educator and founded The Creative Computing Club. But no sonic wizard stays entombed forever! Pixelh8 is back! His new record, Hard Reset, is out now, further new projects await, and we've dusted off Nerdy Show to give this old pal a warm welcome home.

In this episode Cat and Jess travel with PixelH8 trough his new album, track by track, and learn crazy tales like how his first acting gig, on the set of a Tollywood movie, led to him programming a song on decommissioned missile hardware. We'll also discuss the how’s and whys of his departure from music and everything that happened in between, the various eras of chiptune music, his work reclaiming computer chips from dying consoles to build new instruments, spending six hours to make an anime sound on the NES, and much more.
