About me

Hi!

I’m Kon Iwashiro, the creator of Iwashiro Sounds, based in Wakayama, Japan.
I compose, record, produce, and mix the music on this site.

My favorite food is canned sardines.
Delicious!

I make 8-bit music inspired by the NES and Game Boy, including tracks that follow the limited polyphony of older game systems.
I love 8-bit music.
Stay tuned for more sounds!

Please read the terms below, then explore the background music and sound effects.
Enjoy!
