Four nerds. One insanely groovy sound.
AboutAnalog Crossing performs video game music - from Nintendo classics to JRPG epics to indie darlings with the craft and seriousness of any great live band. They've been performing monthly in New York City since 2024, have toured to Boston, and presented at MAGFest. The result consistently surprises people who weren't expecting to be impressed.
Robin
Flute, MIDI | Founder
Robin Wong is a NYC-based musician, creative technologist, and the founder of Analog Crossing. He blends flute and synthesizers with improvisation, live electronics.
When he's not on stage he's probably writing code. Robin built Analog Crossing's entire tournament management system from scratch: the sign-up form, the auto-matchmaking bracket, the real-time display that tracks who's up next, what stage is selected, and what the band is about to play. Before all of this he was organizing 800-person ceremonies at Carnegie Hall for Scholastic. He brings that same logistical seriousness to every show.
Ezra
Keytar | Communications
Ezra Pe Aguirre is a keytar slayer, video producer, and committed 80s aficionado whose love of disco runs through everything he does — the music, the visuals, the vibe of the room. If Analog Crossing has a distinct aesthetic identity, Ezra is a large part of why.
He's the band's voice online: the person making sure you know about the next show before you've had a chance to forget, and reminding you that yes, it is that time of the month to challenge your friends to a public duel at the Smash Bros Live Experience.
Outside of Analog Crossing, Ezra performs electronic pop and ambient music under the names 3DSPACECADET and Buttersuit.
Cadence
Drums | Music Direction
Cadence Meadows is a drummer and percussionist with over 15 years of experience across neo-soul, hip-hop, jazz, alternative rock, dance, disco, musical theater, and video game music. After studying at Berklee College of Music, she built a reputation as a leader and educator within the VGM scenes of New York City and Boston. She serves as Music Director for Smash Bros Live and has been the rhythmic anchor of Analog Crossing since the beginning.
"Little me would be very surprised by the amount of love and care and community that I found in New York."
Hari
Bass | Media
Hari Nandu is an electric solo bassist living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan — and an actual medical doctor. He plays both a 5-string bass and a fretless Zon Hyperbass, drawing on jazz and classical training to build a style that's technically precise and deeply musical. His influences read like a syllabus for serious bassists: Michael Manring, Damian Coccio, Jeff Schmidt, Jesús Rico Pérez.
He's embedded in the VGM world deeply enough that Aeronaut Brewery in Somerville has named beers after him. That same brewery hosted Analog Crossing's first out-of-town show — a sold-out night that doubled as the band's first road trip.
Where we’re going
We're working on brand new arrangements of songs from Undertale, Katamari, and Ena's Dream Hub. We’ve got lots cooking from original soundtracks to music videos to just getting better at Smash. For now: more shows, more cities, more rooms full of people who didn't expect us to be this good.
And yes, we will absolutely come to you.
