The Mario Raceway video is finally here! I started this one several months ago and never quite finished it. After getting the new bari sax, I thought it'd be great to re-record a bunch of parts and make this arrangement into a true bop! Originally this arrangement suffered a little from a lack of drums, so I added some to make things groove a little more! Hope you guys like this sax-only type thing, I might do some more of that in the future!

As for what's next for me, the UNDERTALE Real Book is nearing completion (backing tracks are mostly recorded, sheets are nearly done, and the test print is coming up soon!), which is super exciting! I just got back from some travel to the East Coast to see some folks, and I'm heading out once again for travel, this time to Japan! I'll be out of the US from July 18th to the 30th, but you'll still be getting the video on the 28th as scheduled! After that, I'll be back home for a while, where I'll be workin on some new stuff :)

Next video is a highly-requested tune from Fire Emblem!

Mario might be a better driver than me, but is he a better sax player…?

I played this game a lot as a kid, so it’s nice to revisit an old and familiar soundtrack. All the Mario Kart games have fantastic soundtracks that work really well with my style, and this one is no exception. The concept for this cover originally started off as the idea: “What could I do with only a saxophone?” I originally recorded this arrangement a few months ago with all the parts played on tenor. After recording it, I listened back and thought to myself that there was a lack of drive or forward motion to the cover. At that point, I decided to ditch the “only saxophone” idea, and add some drums to this arrangement! That really made this tune a whole lot better, and the part was a ton of fun to play, as well! Lastly, I purchased a bari sax back in May, and decided to re-record a few of the tenor parts that were playing the “bass voice”, with the part shifted into a more bari-friendly register. After all these changes, I think that this is the best version of this arrangement that I’ve been able to come up with! I opted for a Lucky Chops / Too Many Zoos vibe in the mix, so I compressed things a lot more than I usually do - saxophones don’t only play gentle smooth jazz, you know! Let me know if you liked this format! I think it would be fun to experiment with videos similar to this one in the future with a saxophone-only ensemble or perhaps this saxophone+drums style. ♫ “Mario Raceway" from “Mario Kart 64" composed by Kenta Nagata SOCIAL MEDIA: 🐦 Twitter • • • https://twitter.com/insanerainmusic 📘 Facebook • • • https://www.facebook.com/Insaneintherainmusic 📷 Instagram • • • https://instagram.com/insaneintherainmusic ❤️ Patreon • • • http://bit.ly/supportinsane ⚙️ Gear • • • https://www.amazon.com/shop/insaneintherainmusic 🔊 Distrokid VIP Link • • • http://distrokid.com/vip/insane
