This improved game system brought upgrades to the graphics, along with superb quality sound. This improvement allowed the composers to develop music that imitated various instruments. This digital sound system provides composers with the ability to create orchestral-like sounds with a multitude of instruments. To allow the SNES to handle this musical improvement, the technology also had to improve with the addition of upgraded sound chips. An example of this technological orchestral sound is from the "Overworld", the theme found in the game Super Mario World, composed by Koji Kando. This composition is written on a cyclic theme. This repetitive melody repeats throughout the game with variations depending on the level that is being played. These basic changes could include different instruments being played, different time signatures, the tempo, key, and the register of the melody could be changed. However, the melody itself remains relatively unchanged. Figure 2: Composed by Koji Kondo, arranged by Moritz1508. Overworld Theme - Super Mario World, pp.

There is a quote by my favorite musical artist, Jhene Aiko, which says “What you create for you, no one can take from you. Your energy, love and your soul is all that goes wherever you go. Everything else don’t.” This strongly resonates with me because growing up, I never had a place where I felt I could fit into , I usually had to create one.
