Tom Gerou: 8-Bit Blues – Intermediate Piano Duet

8-Bit Blues is a jazzy, high-energy Intermediate piano duet by Tom Gerou, combining a classic blues progression with chromatic riffs and bold rhythmic character. Written in compound triple meter (6/8) instead of traditional swing notation, it delivers a fresh, syncopated groove ideal for ensemble performance.

Reminiscent of vintage video game soundtracks — think 1980s side-scrollers and arcade adventures — the piece brings to mind a nimble hero leaping through colorful levels with flair and rhythmic drive. A fantastic blend of nostalgia and pedagogy.
