notes: '"Menu and start music themes set the tone for the beginnings of most games.
  They are not unlike appetizers or amuse bouches: a taste for what’s to come. For
  many people, these opening themes, along with their respective title cards, trigger
  a greater sense of nostalgia, in much the same way that smells activate older memories.
  All of these themes are composed and designed with a sense of beginning, acting
  as gateways towards something bigger. This album would be a celebration of, not
  only the memories these games hold, but also their function from a design perspective.

  Specifically, we want to encapsulate the feeling when you first played a game, be
  it playing a video game for the very first time or picking up any game for the first
  time ever, and falling in love with it. Every video game fan had to start their
  appreciation somewhere, and that feeling is what binds our community together. By
  drawing from Materia Collective’s community of musical members during this album’s
  production, we hope to show not only how video games connect and inspire us all,
  but also pay homage to video games as a medium. We’re proud to present this album
  as a compilation of a remarkable set of remixes and unique covers of opening theme
  music from video games."

  2 Super Deluxe Grand Prix 64 (from "Mario Kart 64")

  "Mario Kart 64 was a game I only really got to play at the orthodontist whenever
  I went to get my braces adjusted. The opending chord at the title screen was the
  loudest thing ever and it never failed to grab my attention. I was raised musically
  by my dad''s tastes, a lot of brass heavy music of big bands, Maynard Ferguson,
  the Stan Kenton Orchestra, Earth Wind and Fire, and others. This track was my way
  of blending those two parts of my childhood, but with the musical language of adult
  me."

  4 Break Out (from "Ape Escape")

  "Ape Escape is about monkeys equipped with helmets that raise their IQ exponentially.
  This song captures the relaxing calm of a world that makes sense; followed by the
  terror of an abrupt upheaval into a time when primates are vying for top spot in
  the pecking order of society."

  Losn: Track Producer, Arranger, Mixing Engineer

  Keadrin Cain: Cello

  Compositions:

  • "Break Out (Ape Escape)"

  Soichi Terada (Composer)

  5 Dragón de samba y l''espada de luz (from "Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon")

  "I wanted to take the regal and refined atmosphere of the original Fire Emblem theme
  and turn it right on it''s head - thus, this uproarious samba arrangement, scored
  for full jazz ensemble, was born. Sure, it won''t inspire any of your units to arms,
  but man...they''ll be ready to dance!"

  7 Made of Happiness (from "The Sims 3")

  "This is an arrangement of the wildly catchy theme song from Sims 3. It was inspired
  by the late night television host, Jimmy Fallon, and the section of his show when
  they perform songs on classroom instruments. This piece mimics the playful,expressive,
  and childline sense of excitement and happiness experienced by playing the Sims
  games."

  8 Until the Very End (from "Mass Effect: Andromeda")

  "Mass Effect: Andromeda "A Better Beginning" cover. It was a bit daunting at first,
  because the original is so perfect already! The challenge was figuring out what
  to do different. So I just pulled some inspirado from a few of my bigger influences
  like Pink Floyd (Shine On You Crazy Diamond), Nine Inch Nails (We''re In This Together),
  and A Perfect Circle (Vanishing), and adopted the composition, tweaked it a bit
  and made it my own."

  So I went with bluegrass, something I''ve been listening to since I was a child.
  Matheus'' fiddle really helped me glue the arrangement together and give it that
  romping feel that I really wanted."

  5 WAKE UP (from "Minecraft")

  "An R&B interpretation of the Minecraft OST''s "Mutation." I wanted to bring attention
  to the End Poem which scrolls after smiting the Ender Dragon. In its ambiguity,
  the poem alludes to life and emulations of life ("dreams," "the long dream," "yet
  he still plays the game"). Whether it be a dream, a game, or any emulation of life
  which gives us humans more of a sense of capability, we are capable of similarly
  huge feats in real life. A neat poem about how videogames and reality coincide in
  teaching us life''s lessons - starting out not knowing what to do, limping through
  progress, and beginning a new endeavor following achievement. The potential of the
  multidemensional human being is incredible. We can dream big, but only dreaming
  will never get us there - gotta wake up."

  “adult lullaby” for many, many years and after long fantasizing about how I would
  arrange it were I ever to muster up the courage to do so, it dawned on me that I
  had always known how I ultimately would approach the track; and it certainly helped
  that Link is almost always a lazy, sleeping boy when we meet him… shortly after
  having created our save file to this very theme in the menu, no less. So I crafted

  organism, and apply that to a large chamber ensemble, creating something hopefully

  is heavily influenced by Ola Gjeilo''s "Dark Night of the Soul", a fast-paced yet
  gorgeous choir piece with piano and string quartet. I believe this style suits "Shadowlord"

  "Waterside" from Blue Dragon. It is one of the major themes of the game and it appears
  in many forms throughout the entire score; from a bittersweet piano arrangement
  on the title screen to a sweeping orchestral work at the end.This arrangement draws
  from many of those instances and combines with the unique sound of an A Capella
  choir. The intent was to capture the simplicity of the melody while adding some
  complexity to the chord structure. With the help of some wonderful vocalists, I
  think it was a success!"
