Figured I might as well create another little moniker for my chiptune music, now that I'm doing it more regularly-- Bit Rat sounded/looked cool and it's kind of a play on Bit Rate... yeah.
The gimmick behind this particular EP is basically that I've written everything with a handful of chip samples and a single channel in Modplug tracker. It's really fun and challenging writing like this since everything has to interrupt everything else to work-- I really recommend it to anyone looking to improve their tracking/chiptune writing skills. The way it works also means that the thing was louder than Death Magnetic the first time I hit normalize. Hahaha.
Oh, and this EP was also created in a single sitting of roughly 12 hours. Gotta stop doin' that...

I don't know why all the songs are named after fruit. It made sense at the time (and still does, honestly).
