Item Description
In 1985, Koji Kondo’s Super Mario Bros. score utterly
redefined the video game music genre.
With under 3 minutes of music, Kondo put to rest an
era of bleeps and bloops—the sterile products of a
lab environment—replacing it with one in which game
sounds constituted a legitimate form of artistic expression.
On the 30 year anniversary of the Super Mario Bros game, author
Andrew Schartmann brings this brilliant addition to the world of both
music and video game studies. First taking us through the various
external factors that coalesced into a ripe environment in which Kondo's
musical experiments could thrive—for instance, advances in technology,
or Nintendo's marketing tactics—Schartmann then delves into the music
itself, searching for reasons why our hearts still dance to the “primitive”
8-bit tunes of a bygone era.

160 pages, paperback.
