Bob-omb Sadlefield (Bob-omb Battlefield in minor)

[@a150irandrooms]

how did you make this

[@fatherp]

basically recreated the song by ear, from scratch, using a SM64 soundfont i found somewhere. then just rearranged the chords & melody to flip it from major to minor, which you can start doing by changing chords to the parallel minor equivalent - e.g. a I chord (C major) becomes a i (C minor), a vi chord (A minor) becomes a bVI (Ab major) while also rearranging the melody as you go to play nicely with the new chords. (these are not the chords in this track; just giving an example) this is generally only the first step as if you just do this directly, and don't take any creative liberties, it'll probably sounds pretty bad in a lot of spots lol, so you need to kind of treat it as an original composition while using this approach as a framework

[@a150irandrooms]

@@fatherp ooh

[@StillBillyD92]

@@fatherp Did you begin your journey into composing music starting out by playing by ear? I have played music for several years, and I play by ear mostly. I really love how you just openly shared your thinking process like that. Most people are jerks when it comes to sharing details after they create something people end up liking -- which I will never understand.

[@fatherp]

@@StillBillyD92 yeah mostly by ear! I took guitar lessons for about a year, which was a very helpful foundation, but it didn’t cover theory, notation, or anything like that. just how to play guitar. then the rest was self taught and picking things up by ear. I did take a couple of harmony courses in college which was helpful, but mostly in understanding how to label stuff and articulate musical concepts. I do think learning some proper music theory is extremely helpful, but understand that it’s not attractive to everyone. and yeah im always happy to share my process etc with folks who ask! sometimes if people ask for full chord breakdowns etc I won’t be able to, since its a lot of work and I often don’t remember exactly how I wrote something. but it’s never because im trying to hide my “secrets” or anything lol

[@Neo13715]

another way to easily do it is by grabbing the midi, throwing it on finale notepad, and change the key and just individually put in the instruments if it doesnt do it automatically

[@irgendwer3610]

this really brings out how funky the original track was

[@jkljosh7392]

Feels like a casino what's extremely stacked against you, reminds me even or more modern Bowser themed from say 3d world

[@overdrawnproductions]

Yo, I didn't even notice it until I read this lol

[@verbbudders904]

yea for real, the liberty taken here to reinterpret, compared to most minor key edits just doing simple 1-for-1 noteswaps, is sick as hell

[@musicbyalexYT]

This sounds like what I would imagine Waluigi's personal theme to be.

[@Lukas99g]

reminds me of bowsers theme from super mario 3D world

[@emeraldhillzone1992]

Some parts of this, the chorus specifically, just sound like if Bob-omb Battlefield was a casino, and I appreciate that.

Course 16 - Bob-Omb Battlefield The war is over and everything is in ruin. There are oil spills everywhere, the grass has burnt up, and the sky is a smoggy brown and black. The course now expands beyond its usual bounds, where bottomless pits can be found, formed from the ground being blown up. Most Bob-Ombs are gone, but there are many Boos.

I love this because it isn't just minor key = spooky. It feels like an actual alternate version of the theme, that you would actually hear in-game during a certain sequence or something.

[@MrPlayerOneP1]

Instead of sad, it sounds like a 70s-80s jazz-styled villain song

[@pux0rb]

Wow I just commented this same thing, then scrolled down and you beat me to it.

Bob-Bob Sadlefield makes me think of a western themed level with outlaws fighting the Sheriff at high noon, Marshall Mario riding up on his bob-omb fighting Koopa the Kid, both light their bob-ombs and send them towards the other, big kaboom. I got the idea because it's one letter away from being Bob-Omb _Saddlefield_ as in riding bob-ombs like horses.
