Button Masher

  • Button Masher

    Button Masher is Jake Silverman, a pianist and arranger who figured out how to make a chip sound swing. He took home a Grammy in 2021 for his arrangement of “Meta Knight’s Revenge,” cut with Charlie Rosen and The 8-Bit Big Band, and his solo work runs the same trick in reverse: real jazz harmony and reharmonization poured over 8-bit and 16-bit textures. On GameChops he teamed with Dj Cutman for “Jubilife Village,” a piano-and-chiptune read of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus theme that stays loose where the original sits still.
