I did an acapella thing.

Does anyone else regularly get the music from Super Mario Bros. 2 (US) stuck in their head ALL DAY?! It happens to me at work. Something about it seems to inspire speed and efficiency. Mad love to Koji Kondo for writing so much of the soundtrack of my childhood!

I didn't find any other a cappella cover of the Character Select screen theme, so I took a shot at one of those grid-of-heads style, all-vocal video edits. It's my first attempt at such a feat... used an auto-grid effect thing, so the video might be janky - roast me in the comments!!

Recorded with an MXL 770 condenser + Tube MP preamp, and a Shure SM58 thru my Focusrite Scarlett.
Shot with a Logitech C920 HD Pro webcam, edited in Reaper.

Welcome to Phazerville! I'm your host, DJ Phazer! I'm a music nerd from Michigan who makes weird noizes and overthinks everything! XD
I do a lot of beatboxing and drum & bass stuff, but I like to dabble in a bit of everything. I draw a lot of inspiration from classic 8-bit video game music. (Nintendo every day after school as a kid!)
