Disquiet Junto Project 0704: Right on Cumulus
The Assignment: Compose 8-bit music inspired by a Cory Arcangel / Super Mario video.

In 2002, the media artist Cory Arcangel created a work of art titled Super Mario Clouds, which removed everything from the 1985 Super Mario Bros. video game except the blue sky and passing clouds. This means that Arcangel’s video was silent, because also excluded was Koji Kondo’s classic score.

The asignment is to record a very sedate 8-bit music that does feel aligned with Super Mario Clouds. So while listening please watch the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCmAD0TwGcQ).

Huge thanks to Mat @no-mates-ensemble for letting me remix his track https://soundcloud.com/no-mates-ensemble/tuscany-experiments-whistling-with-the-dogs-of-mount-amiata
The artwork is also his... All of the sounds except for drums and bass are original and in a few cases manipulated... I dig how Mat pushes the envelope with his journeys into sound
