- | **Koji Kondo** (Aug. 13, 1960) is a videogame musician responsible for the most culturally recognized pieces of game music, these being the default stage theme of //[[game:Super Mario Bros.]]// and the over-world theme of //[[game:The Legend of Zelda]]//. It may be worth noting that both of these compositions, despite their popularity, harbor qualities that would seem to complicate their status and hum-ability: for example, the notational character of the former's melody, and the latter's chromatic runs. Kondo has contributed to, or been solely responsible for, the soundtracks to other titles including //[[game:Star Fox 64]]//, //[[game:Yoshi's Island]]//, and //[[game:Mario Kart 64]]//. | + | **Koji Kondo** (Aug. 13, 1960) is a videogame musician responsible for the most culturally recognized pieces of game music, these being the default stage theme of //[[game:Super Mario Bros.]]// and the over-world theme of //[[game:The Legend of Zelda]]//.
