Basically, these videos feature a specific <span class="caps">MIDI</span> software called the <a href="http://www.musanim.com/mam/overview.html">Music Animation Machine <span class="caps">MIDI</span> Player</a>, or simply <span class="caps">MAM</span>, being used to not only recreate songs, but to create artistic representations of things related to the song playing using the colored musical pieces while still keeping the song harmonious and smooth.</p> <h2>Origin</h2> <div align="center"> <p><img src="http://www.musanim.com/mam/lands.jpg" alt="" /></p> </div> <p>Sometime during 1985, a man by the name of Stephen Malinowski (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/smalin">smalin</a> on Youtube) along with his wife, Lisa Turetsky, invented the <span class="caps">MAM</span> as a means to help people read and play musical scores in a much simpler fashion compared to sheet music.</p> <script src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.js?mediaId:6968;width:480;height:392;" type="text/javascript"></script><ul> <li>To read a full history of the <span class="caps">MAM</span> in Stephen&#8217;s own words, go <a href="http://www.musanim.com/mam/mamhist.htm">here</a>.</li> </ul> <p>On November 2, 2007, a video was uploaded on Nico Nico Douga featuring a medley of Super Mario Bros. songs with some of the <span class="caps">MIDI</span> notes arranged in such a way that they formed words and images.</p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-wkI7hg65F0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-wkI7hg65F0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>This had astonished several <span class="caps">NND</span> users who proceeded to download the program so as to do the same thing as the original uploader of the video. So thus, a meme is born.</p> <h2>Derivative Videos</h2> <p>Many derivative videos can be found on video-sharing websites such as <span class="caps">NND</span> and Youtube.
