Hasta La Gadget!

A Lego brick is the real-world equivalent of a pixel, as 8-bit music is an equally low-fidelity representation of analog music. Combine the music and a stop-motion video and you have gold. Throw in tributes to all the best games consoles and a truly astonishing (my jaw literally dropped open) rendering of a rotating 3D cube in 2D Legospace and you get to fill all ten rows on the high-score leaderboard.

The video was made by Swedish band Rymdreglage, and took a patience-snapping 1500 hours of brick pushing to complete. I have watched this over and over and I’m seeing new in-jokes every time (the SNES Mode 7 Bowser, for instance). The song, called 8-bit trip, is pretty catchy, too, and you can even buy it at iTunes.
