HoboKa Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes) Round 62: Howlowe'en(ish??) Super Metroid - Red Brinstar Midi: http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/MnP62_smetbri1.mid Youtube: "None of the super spooky tracks i could think of had midis so heres more mysterious than spooky pick from an all around atmospheric game. Red Brinstar from super metroid (not to be confused with green brinstar). I wonder what makes the soil red...?" - Esperado Deadline: Oct 26th Wed 1PM Vote Ends: Oct 28th Fri 11 PMMnP ARCHIVE - made by Trism Submit your remix Here when completed. **If you have technical difficulty with account activation at ThaSauce, please contact me via PM and I will submit your track and will also tally your vote**MISSION STATEMENT The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.MnP Instructions/Guidelines 1. Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted. 2. Most or all of the source notes must be present (but not necessarily in the exact same order), secondly the mood (energy, pacing, feelings being conveyed etc) should also be retained. For example, a source tune that is fast-paced and energetic that's remixed into a mellow/chill-out theme would be a hard sell. 3. If you decide to do a genre swap (i.e. symphonic to techno), make sure that the conditions of #2 are met. 4. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). 5. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. 6. All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and ConductMISC/TIPS- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl's lives easier. - In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Interesting pick. Now that I think about it...this track is kinda spooky. Relaxing spooky. EDIT Not to mention that Red Brinstar is my 2nd favorite track of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starphoenix Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ooh. This was one of my favorite track in Metroid Prime (I played Metroid Prime 2 before I played Super Metroid). Definitely would like to give this a whirl. HoboKa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APZX Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Well since I'm still working on the last part of a song I figured a quick break from that might help a bit. Already, submitted my entry, though like an idiot I left silence in the end because recording is weird. Still love Super Metroid with its just completely off the wall weird but fantastic soundtrack.

Starphoenix Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm going to work on my track this week and try to submit it next weekend. Just have a question though: is the goal to make this track sound spooky, or is that description simply playing off the month? What I have right now doesn't really classify as "spooky," so I just want to make sure. HoboKa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then it doesn't really matter as people tend to vote whatever they feel like anyhow lol. Starphoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esperado Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 My bonus track is about to be very spooky, just for you Hoboka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starphoenix Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 My song kind of is hit-or-miss on the theme I feel like... Think I'm going to need to create an alternate version of my current track in order to get it to fit the theme better. HoboKa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starphoenix Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Finished my alt track. Not sure how I feel about it, but it fits the theme better, I think. I'll submit it in a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APZX Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This is a lovely source because it is so simple structurally that it really leaves a lot open for interpretation. I mean I've got this really low key vibey sort of thing. Hoboka came up with this, dare I say, 70s-esque Sci-Fi take on it (really just missing that HF flutter honestly lol) that suits the material equally as well. Then you've got Starphoenix with something I'd hear in a low budget horror Sci-Fi flick (I mean that in the best way possible btw, I love cheesy Sci-Fi horror movies)! Absolutely, incredible the differences in approaches. Starphoenix and HoboKa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK some weeks or even months, my brain just refuses to cooperate with my heart. =p EDIT but other than the exact opposite of self aggrandizement, I do really appreciate the feedback.

Starphoenix Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Great job everyone! Think everyone did good making the theme sound and feel eerie. A lot of it reminded me of old 80's suspense film music, but that's not bad. lol HoboKa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Forgot to add a comment for Esperado's Bonus. So I'll do it now. 11/10 super sexy; if "Freezecannon" had a physical manifestation I'd take it out for dinner and do to it like they do on the discovery channel. It is a feast for the ears with a vibrant atmosphere and tons of reverby love. Esperado 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Results Starphoenix & Zorakh TIED for 1st with 19 points. APZX got 2nd with 10 points HoboKa got last with 9 points. Starphoenix and Zorakh please pm me for round 63 Comments Holy crap...this must be the 3rd or 4th tie in the history of MnP. EDIT Also, I've given up on the idea of a back-to-back Howlowe'en-MNP-month. I didn't plan this out right as we're now at the 29th lol. I mean, if you guys WANT to pick something spooky, that is fine by me, but it isn't a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
