They were signed to Chase & Status' MTA Records,〔("Moody Good listing" ) Entry on record company website listing Jeffrey's previous work for the label. Retrieved 23 August 2014.〕 and best known for their work with Björk. ==Biography== 16bit were Eddie Jeffreys from South London and Jason Morrison from Ashford, Kent. Both became interested in electronic music at an early age, citing jungle, trance and garage as their main influences.〔 They were best known for producing dubstep and made their debut release in January 2008 with ''In The Death Car EP'' featuring the track "Chainsaw Calligraphy" which was recognised for its innovative qualities at the time.〔(The Stranger Music review - 16 Bit : "Chainsaw Calligraphy" )〕 Fourteen of 16bit's songs were used as the soundtrack for the iOS and WiiWare video game ''Lilt Line''.〔(Lilt Line soundtrack )〕 The duo co-produced "Crystalline", Björk's first single off her 2011 album ''Biophilia'', and "Mutual Core" off Björk's 2011 album ''Biophilia.'' They subsequently remixed both "Mutual Core" and "Hollow".〔〔(bjork - biophilia remix series 6 )〕 The album was nominated for two Grammy awards.〔(Björk's Album 'Biophilia' Up for Two Grammy Awards | All Things Icelandic | Iceland Naturally | Iceland Naturally )〕 Jefferys and Morrison went to Brooklyn where they worked with the artist for a week. Björk explained that "I was really torn about whether to use their version of ‘Hollow’ on the album. Their beats for ‘Crystalline’ and ‘Mutual Core’ made it on there, but in the end ‘Hollow’ wound up on the remix album". While Jeffrey said of the collaboration that "working with such abstract time signatures was definitely a strange mix of confusing and enjoyable. She has been so successful without compromising her music or herself.” British rapper Professor Green announced via Twitter that 16bit were to produce his single "At Your Inconvenience".〔(Professor Green Twitter Status update 15 June 2011 )〕 In 2012, the duo had also produced the track "I Am the Narrator" from Plan B's third studio album ''iLL Manors''. Their 2010 remix of Noisia's "Machine Gun" was used in a trailer and various TV spots for ''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''.〔(Trackitdown - NOISIA / 16BIT SOUNDTRACK NEW TRANSFORMERS TRAILER! )〕 The remix was also used in the trailer for ''Far Cry 3''. 16bit won 'Best Mix' at the 2010 Dubstep Forum Awards for their 'Milky Pie Mix' and came second top in the Best Producer category.〔(Juno Plus - Dubstep forum award winners )〕 Although they stated that the intention was to release a full-length album, it never materialised.〔 In mid-2012, the duo split to pursue solo production careers for unknown reasons. Jefferys relocated to Chicago. Eddie Jefferys is currently working under the alias Moody Good. He released his debut album with MTA Records and OWSLA on 2 June 2014.〔(MTA Publishing )〕 Jefferys also produced a single for the rap group Foreign Beggars entitled "Anywhere" and provided additional production for the Chase & Status track "Gangsta Boogie". Jason Morrison was also working on his own solo project known as The 13,〔http://www.longclothing.com/the-13-long-clothing-mixtape.html〕 but he eventually decided to retire the project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「16bit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
