Hey guys, I've made a new Super Mario World orchestral cover:

Hey BriGuy! your track 'So awesome' is pretty awesome, you weren't mistaken. It kind of reminded me of Adebisi Shank. I don't usually listen to this kind of music but that crazy colorful stuff going fast is cool, great job man.

Keep 'em coming.

Hey Tavros, thank you! I hadn't seen the thread until now, sorry for the delay.

Here is my 2 Super Mario World covers:

As I explained in the other thread I'm working on a SMW album that will include a lot of songs (probably not all of them) orchestrated by myself. Some pieces will be purely orchestral, some others won't as you can see in donut plains. Each piece has its own feeling and it's funnier this way. I'll share a teaser with a bit of most of the songs so you have a good idea of what I'm doing (coming soon).

Enjoy!

Yes, I know I can't start a new topic. I was asking if there's a thread on the Fan Creations board to share some music or something similar.

Thanks everyone!

@TheMightyThor and @BriGuy92 both are good arguments, I haven't made up my mind yet so for now I guess I'll keep working on it and see what happens.

How do I post in the Fan Creations board? I'm unable to start a new topic, is there a topic for these cases?

Hey there! New member here, I'm glad I finally found the Mario community (or a part of it). I was looking forward to make a couple of questions to you guys but I just learnt I can't start topics yet. So let me ask you a little one here.

I'm a composer, I write orchestral stuff and I'm a big fan of Super Mario World. I'm currently working on a SMW album, I'm making orchestral arrangements of the original songs. I have a couple of those on youtube and everyone seems to like them but I wanted to know your opinion about something. Do you think a SMW album should have every piece of music from the original? I've covered a lot of them, including small pieces like 'clear course', 'mario dies', etc. but I feel there are too many castle levels pieces, boss battle, etc. that change the mood of the album. I like the original music because it's playful and fun and that's what I want in the album. What do you think? Is it sacrilege to miss some darker stuff uncovered?

PS. Apologies if this is not the place to ask questions!
