Maestro is focused fully on paying an homage to the great video game songs of old from the 8 and 16-bit eras. He is a musician with 25 years of experience under his belt who, in the last few years decided to get into composing.

The focus of his channel is to Expand and Enhance classic video game tracks by beefing up their sound, while building entirely new sections onto the originals. The objective is to simulate what the original composers might have done, had they had more time and better hardware at their disposal. The objective is NOT to get rid of what made those songs so memorable and iconic.
