Cursed Minus WorldsPrompt: Make music with three sounds: one you love, one you dislike, and one you consider to be neutral.I thought about just picking three sounds that were short and arranging those samples rhythmically, musique concréte-style, but in the interest of stretching, I went with long field recordings of:A Dave and Buster's-style arcade/bowling alley, packed with casino-like games laser-focused on exploitation.Cicadas near Changgyeonggung Palace in SeoulMy kid trying out the piano sheet music for Super Mario 3 World 1 for the first time (he's only played the actual game once)I had a really hard time fitting in the bowling alley recording.
