reboot PREPARED-GAMEBOY

Peter Swimm — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:30:50 +0000

It is sort of a gameboy reboot version of It’s Gonna Rain or Sweet 16… But then mostly phasing silence.

The gameboys get reset by the startup sound of themselve. And they run out of phase because one gameboy is running at 4 mhz and the other at 4.194304 mhz (the original speed).

reboot PREPARED-GAMEBOY.
