Nico Muhly
The composer on the augmented sixth chord in Mario's theme, and why influence should be worn as openly as possible.
Nico Muhly is a Juilliard-trained composer whose credits include Hollywood film scores, string arrangements for popular artists like Björk and Antony & The Johnsons, and internationally-renowned ballets and opera.
Muhly is also a lifelong gamer. When I chatted with him, I started with the question: did the Nintendo Entertainment System really introduce him to music theory?
