Happy Labour Day and a little music! (Patreon)

Hi everyone, it's Sunday and I don't have the scaries because I get tomorrow off! Yay. Hope everyone's had a good weekend. I managed to keep myself from getting too much existential dread from this week's news, and I put my head down and got the recording on the two commissions I'm working on done, and found the time to jump into a new musical project.

Figured I'd share that here! If any of you played Super Mario Bros 2 on the NES, you might be familiar with the over world theme, that amazing ragtime/stride jazz piece that it's frantic and fast and fun. Since I'm currently working towards an album of "downtempo" or ambient reimaginings of video game music, I was like, "Hmm, I wonder what I could do to this to fit that mold," because it would be pretty awesome if I was able to.

Well after a few hours of work, rearranging and composing, I ended up turning it into a bit of a stately waltz, which was not the direction I was expecting to take in, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. So, as my amazing and faithful subscribers, I figured I'd give you a sneak peak of the current version of the song, which is nominally complete. It still needs a mixing and mastering pass, but I'm pretty happy with how it is now that the composing and sound design phases are done.

So, without much further ado, "Super Mario Bros 2 - Overworld Theme (Eine Kleine Waltzmusik)
