Classic(al) chiptunes. Virt is one of the great masters of this genre. Chiptunes are about taking the limited resources of old audio hardware and trying to bend the space of what is possible within these constraints.

Good Morning, Dracula shows excellent instrumentation with limited resources.
Classical Favorites 2 (Bonus!) is a furious medley of over half a dozen classical music hits, all with a bleepy flavour. Citing from the release notes:
