This time, I composed a chill yet slightly melancholic low-tempo track with the sounds of conventional instruments, such as the piano, guitar, bass and drums. I also made extensive use of modal mixture just like in the previous one. Chromatic mediants, Phrygian mode, tritones, you name it, you will find them in this piece.
This was made using SMP v1.4.2 and CyanSMP64's Super Mario 64 soundfont (with no changes to the .sf2 file whatsoever). The key is initially C minor, but the tuning changes to Eb and then to F# after modulations throughout the track. The BPM remains 110 throughout. I hope you enjoy.

The key is D natural minor and the BPM is 101 (slightly up from original track's BPM due to high SMP tempo). I hope you enjoy.SWEET BUT PSYCHO by Ava Max but its a Super Mario Paint coverRemixer Darken2024-05-08 | As the title says, this is a cover I made in Super Mario Paint for Ava Max's song "Sweet but Psycho".

It was originally planned for May, but it ended up being ready slightly ahead of schedule, so here we are now.
This time, there were two main ideas behind it: a nod to my older [2019-2020] OCs, and an arrangement that takes some inspiration from gospel choirs. Therefore, the Electronica soundfont has been chosen, which makes this my first Electronica OC since 2019, and the choir instrument has been used extensively, notably for chords. However, newer song elements were also used, such as more complex chords, modal mixture and mid-song key changes.
This project was of course made with Super Mario Paint v1.4.2 and a volume-adjusted Electronica soundfont. The key is D (mode varies per section of the song), or A Phrygian in one specific instance, and the BPM is 160 throughout.
