"I am a 486DX-33MHz-64MB processing avant-garde chiptune, synthesized heavy metal & classical symphonic music. 100% Synthesized, 100% Dehumanized"

In all seriousness, Master Boot Record is a project of Victor Love from the well-known industrial glam rock band Dope Stars Inc. The idea of claiming that a computer itself has made all of the music as if it is sentient is not new (and in fact, modern neural networks are entirely capable of writing music), nor is the idea of 8bit metal (we all know of Machinae Supremacy), yet this is a very interesting project based on the cyberpunk themes and the nostalgia for the 90s DOS demoscene.
