Listening to the song 'Please Come To Me' by YouTuber RYANUKO, one could be forgiven for thinking that it was a professional release by an up-and-coming electronic dream-pop producer. That would be an incorrect assumption, though. In fact, 'Please Come To Me' was composed and produced entirely within Super Mario Paint, a game for the Super Nintendo.
Those who owned Super Mario Paint likely remember it more for its eponymous paint feature or its minigames over the composer feature, which was too complex for many of the children who played. However, the composing component's depth allows for intricate and complex music provided someone has the musical acumen and patience to work with it.
RYANUKO's 'Please Come To Me' is laden with rich chord progressions, intricate baselines and impressive crescendos.
