[@mangopotato1803]

My great grandfather hates video game music and video games in general, so I showed this to him, since he loves jazz and big band music in general. He had then asked what game this was from and I showed him (I had bought it on my 3DS) and we played it for almost the entire time I was there! He's not the biggest video game fan, but he doesn't hate them like he used to!

[@The8BitBigBand]

Thats so awesome! Sometimes it just takes a little re-contextualizing for people to take VGM seriously as art :)

[@rootoo555]

This gave me chills the entire time. I thought I found all the good earthbound content!!!!

[@neci8993]

[@TaylorRussell_TheAnimator]

Thank you! I was def shooting for a silly, zany feel in this one to fully capture the spirit of the game. Glad I didn't let you down!

That was awesome! Amazing arrangement, that sax is killer. And kudos for the great effort put on the animation, it's smooth and summerizes the game so well!

Many thanks. It was hard to animate everything I wanted to and I had to omit a bunch of game details I hold dear, but hey, as long as it puts a smile on some faces then I'm cool with that. Thanks a bundle!

And now the 8-bit Big Band is here blowing our frikkin minds! I can't wait to see your future projects.

[@radosam8415]

This song is probably my favourite you guys did. And that tenor feature just is awesome well done by everyone

Earthbound is one of the only games on the SNES (actually, even to the modern day) where every song has a point *and* you can hum along with them. Honestly, I could hear this and immediately say "FOURSIDE!"
