Relaxing, yet therapeutic. Nice. ^.^

Yeah.. I love this.

Very experimental with chords n Pizz.
You have the score for this?

Would love to try arrange some stringplayers to play this one.
Im a celloplayer myself. Would be so great to play a such good
mix on super mario bros.

Very very well done.

violin, violin, viola n' Cello right?

Absolutely mind-blowing, both in composition and execution.

Very nicely done, you took a lot of liberty with the arrangement and I like that. You also got a lot of colour out of the chamber string ensemble - a difficult task, but well-executed :)

It had a very 20th-century feel (at least in Western music) where there is a lot of playing with rhythm and time and it gives it a very fun and jovial, if ambiguous, feel... especially where everything comes together at the end. If you expanded into a chamber orchestra involving some winds of something, I think that you really could've brought out a lot more colour, especially with your rhythmically-complex writing.

Awesome production and (if the players aren't real) really fantastic samples. I love how your strings get a really nice attack and a really strong bow sound, but still get a really nice middle-of-the-note - really, really nice!

I dig!

Awesome. It's as if Gershwin wrote a string quartet (and was an avid Mario fan.)

This was the last thing shnabubula ever showed me... and it was amazing when I heard it. djp, your leanings are correct, these string samples are fake. I would love to hear this live, but I know that probably won't happen anytime soon. Great job sam, we miss ya!

Amazing remix... I loved it when I first heard it - the string samples are from Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra with the XP Pro expansion pack. I believe it's the Gold edition. Sam did some really crazy editing stuff, eg. taking some interval samples (fifths/octaves) and manipulating MIDI CC11 (expression) to fade between them to get that really amazing legato sound.
