Norrin Radd
Canadian musician Matt Creamer has always drawn his influences directly from the source: The original Nintendo. His life long love affair with the 8-bit aesthetic has created an almost unstoppable urge to recreate the sounds that were present in his early childhood favorites, games such as the ones from the Mega Man, Castlevania, and Double Dragon series. Norrin Radd's objective is to take the 8-bit sound as far as it can possibly go, while still adhering to the direct limitations set forth by the 2a03 sound chip found in the Nintendo Entertainment System. Norrin's song writing always stems from the electric guitar, and when he is composing NES music, his guitar is most always in hand.Artist Website
