Ice world death

"I took the original recording and time stretched it way out. Then I mapped those notes to MIDI. Using recently-recorded Arctic ice samples, I recreated this slower version. I liked the groove in the middle so much that I repeated it a few times. Everything the listener hears is an Arctic ice sound sample, albeit heavily manipulated. In this way, the ice is able to sing its death song. Meanwhile, the listener subconsciously thinks of their poor little Mario, clutching his little hat and singing his death song. Ice Death World lives in the space between the two."
