Gameboy is music to their ears

BBC goes for the fringe with this article on Gameboy music. It looks like a band has taken the sounds of play, and played the sounds in their own special way. The Gameboyzz Orchestra Project is an outfit that blends game sounds to make tunes they call "blip-pop," a free form style that (they say) sounds like a recreational jam session. The idea of using game sounds in songs is nothing new. Making music from game sounds is also something that's been done before. But making the game sounds into music in a jam session format? That could be a new one.
