Our live cover of "Gusty Garden Galaxy/Wind Garden" from Super Mario Galaxy, originally composed by Mahito Yokota. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley. Recorded live at Black Cat LES in New York City on March 1, 2020.
We're very happy that our initial foray into the Super Mario Galaxy musical universe is the beautiful "Gusty Garden Galaxy", known as "Wind Garden" in Japan. I (Pat) admittedly never got to play this game, because I didn't own a Wii (I know, comments incoming), but we knew just how much this music meant to the Mario and VGM community in general, so we had to do some music from it. The biggest challenge with making this arrangement was somehow reducing an entire lush orchestral sound to just six instruments, but the easiest and most satisfying part was being able to witness the magic of these guys putting everything they've got into it! We hope you enjoy this take on an already gorgeous composition; and if this game is nostalgic for you, we hope you can relive some of those moments here as well.
Which galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy was your favorite?

![700 SUBS THANK YOU! + Chocolate Disco [Pat & Khrys]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hiIPHCwDceU/mqdefault.jpg "700 SUBS THANK YOU! + Chocolate Disco [Pat & Khrys]
We reached 700 subs! Were very appreciative of every step in our development that helps us connect with you all and bring more content and concerts to you! So even though it may not seem like a huge milestone compared to the major YouTubers out there, its still a great step for us in this journey to show the world how incredible Japanese music is a simple yet complicated task, no?
As a little thanks, heres a treat for you Perfume fans who helped us get to where we are now - a bit of Chocolate Disco, performed by Patrick Bartley on Akai EWI, and Khrys Williams on a Yamaha Melodica.
Much love, from J-MUSIC.
