Olhos De Gato - Bass line - Lesson 5 assignment

Olhos De Gato

Since I were young, I have been always interested in Video Games. Video Games have influenced all my life and even they helped to learn English when most of titles were only developed in English.
One of the most iconic games is Super Mario Bros which I have played in all its forms, consoles and variations.
My intention with this short audio clip was to bring some of the characteristics themes of the game, as well with some effects.

At the beginning I start with some wind as a reminder of sand storms in the desert, then I start adding a base rhythm as used in most Mario stages, along with some modern bass and a vintage guitar.

Afterwards  I play myself some of the most iconic themes in Super Mario level 2, where Mario goes underground.
At 0:46 I add some synths symbolizing Mario approaching to Koopa ready for fight him, the wind is created while hot lava is being thrown at him.

I've created this composition as part of a course in Survey of Music Technology by Georgia Institute of Technology.

All music clips are part or EarSketch's Audio Library apart from 1.  I have recorded the guitar that plays the main Mario theme.

I hope you enjoy it.
