Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
|
When you think of water levels, what kind of music do you think of? What instrumentation typically comes to mind? For me, it’s ethereal and it uses instruments like strings and soft pads to generate feelings of waves and ocean. There are many great examples but today I wanted to pull focus towards Dire, Dire Docks from Super Mario 64.
I will often go back and listen to this and all variations of this song when I need to vibe. It was a great study song back in college too!
Fun Fact: The Dire, Dire Docks song was one of the first (if not *the* first) song that I ever learned on piano, thanks to an arrangement online I found from Ben Landis.
The arpeggiated bassline combined with the simple melody made it a very easy song to start learning, and all of the variations of this song just hit right.
I even love the version they remixed in Mario Kart World a ton, especially since they arranged it as almost a concert band piece:
Enjoy the vibes and let me know what you think in the comments!
(Also sorry for the late publish, this week was a little insane)
