Artist
Thomas R. Bucsics is an Austria-based composer and producer. He took piano lessons from the age of 6, but quickly discovered his faible for electronic music. He now produces in his living room studio, in public transport or sitting in the park. For writing gameboy tracks, he uses littlesounddj and mainly works on a single gray original Nintendo Gameboy or a Gameboy Advance SP (just for the back-light, using an original Gameboy Cartridge), but has been known to experiment using multiple Gameboys as well. He has also worked in cooperation with Markus Schrodt of dot.matrix. He also produces studio tracks using a little more up-to-date equipment under his alias, Nexxyz.
