Griffith Hiltz Trio - Arcade (2020)

GHT (Griffith Hiltz Trio) has returned to the studio and has just finished recording their 4th album.

Joined by drummer Neil MacIntosh, (who played with the band briefly back in 2009 & 2010) Johnny and Nathan have decide to try something different and have composed six new tunes inspired by 80s jazz fusion…and one of their favourite writing break pass times…vintage arcade games.

This time around, the trio has elected to augment their sound with the use of analogue synthesizers and 8 bit computer chip sounds sampled from vintage video game consoles….but more to come on that later.

Below is an 8 bit version of GHT’s “movie theme” which was created with samples taken from an NES console. The movie theme has appeared on all GHT albums (and is played at the beginning and end of every set) in different forms.
