    • Boss Rush Mixtape
    • “For our thirteenth mixtape, we challenged our members to come up with arrangements of boss themes from any video game. Our members responded by coming up with a number of different inventive arrangements. We hope you enjoy Boss Rush!

      The team behind VVGO has decided to put the power to make music in the hands of our community! We open the door for smaller-scale pieces and a larger volume of pieces to manifest.”

    • Feature Length: Donkey Kong Country Arranged

Get in on Bandcamp for an exclusive booklet with tons of animal artwork by Patricio “Pokérus” Thielemann and lots of extra kongtent!

    • Mega Mixtape
    • Token Tango
    • This is the second single for our collaborative album “Feature Length: Donkey Kong Country Arranged”, by artists from the Dwelling of Duels community. For his contributions to the album, Argentinian artist TheManPF decided to cover a couple of tracks from Donkey Kong Country 2 with misleading titles, in order to set them straight. So for this single, Token Tango becomes an actual tango, with bandoneon included! He is joined by ThisIsJayC, Ronin Op F, angrypolarbear and Bryan Alvarez.

    • Majora - Act II, No. 26: The Blizzard (instrumental)
    • Picture this: Kafei, a young man lost in the snow, sees glimmers of his beloved Anju beckoning in the freezing wind. The illusion is lifted to reveal Majora, who lifts a blizzard to torture him. What does it want from him?

      Since 2011, M. Bulteau has been working on Majora: a grand adaptation of Majora’s Mask to opera. Progress is livestreamed in sessions with Liam Greenough and Miguel Jesus, and instrumental mockups are routinely uploaded when suitable for YouTube.

      Follow our work in progress!
