Birabuto Kingdom - Super Mario Land Cover on Modular Synth & Volca Beats #TTNM

Published on Oct 7, 2014 The Tuesday Night Machines

"Eurorack Modular Synthesizer & Volca Beats cover of "Birabuto Kingdom Theme" by Hiro Tanaka (Super Mario Land GameBoy chiptune soundtrack).

I arranged the score as two MIDI tracks in Ableton Live, based on the ragtime version of Keeper1st and the according MIDI file, created by PlayMidi.

- Keeper1st's video with Tom Brier's amazing ragtime sight-reading:

- PlayMidi's video with Keeper1st's arrangement as a MIDI file:

Also, check out Motive Makes A Man's awesome cover, which inspired me to do this song too (although I will never be as skilled as him):
