Welcome to ORC107.

Source Material
Last ORC's winner was Nutritious.

"Well, this is an oldie for me. This song is based off of something I came up with years ago when I got my first synthesizer keyboard. You could record up to 2, 6-track songs with it, so this one sat on the keyboard's memory until a friend unplugged it and erased all my data. This version of the song has been fleshed out a lot more than the original, which was my attempt at a Middle Eastern-type sound. Hope you guys enjoy."

[Doulifée]

bump. .

[Bundeslang]

I hope this get some attention.
PRC100, FLMC and all the stuff going on at Econcerto's place around Vgmix also have their deadlines around this period.

[Sir_NutS]

bump. .

ah bumps, how I missed thee.

I will be entering this btw. I'm not just remixing right away because now I feel I can take this in a more relaxed way =)

I hope to see more entrants though.

[Chickenwarlord]

I'm going to bump this and fool around with a WIP.

[Doulifée]

i'm thinking of switching orc to an end month schedule. from 16th to 30rd due to a lot of contest happening at once.

thought?

[Chickenwarlord]

I think that's a good idea.

[Sir_NutS]

I started a mix for this, I LOVE the indian-themed style but it's hard to come up with something decent.

I'll see what I can do tonight.

[Nutritious]

Here's hopin I didn't kill ORC ;). I was actually thinking of making a bonus track for this, but didn't realize the deadline was already here.

Someday I'll have to create the track that I envisioned this in.

[Doulifée]

ok. i gonna extend the deadline to the end of the month, it look like lot of stuff as the same deadline, and most of you was probably working for the prc or another compo.

[Chickenwarlord]

Oh shi-. Forgot all about this. And with this thought, I bump this thread.

[Bundeslang]

Is anyone still working on this?
It looks like everyone forgets the Compo.

[Chickenwarlord]

Oh bugger. I don't even have my WIP :(.

[Doulifée]

i think the august contest is dead. is it worth to restart a new one?

[Kyle Nin]

I'm still waiting to vote. But I guess if there's no contest, then there's no voting.

[Kyle Nin]

I'm guessing that ORC is no more. Too bad.

I made a mix. Too little, too late?

First time in months I've touched Fruity Loops or my samples. Very rushed...it's 2:00 a.m. PST and I have to get up at 5:45 tomorrow (today) for school. Made the process hellishly frustrating, turned out a not-so-polished finished product. Repetitive. It's not so bad, though the guitar playing is (while I'm better than this, I'm not that good).

Characteristic excuses aside, I'm sad to see ORC die like this. But I've been gone for a while, so I guess I can't really talk.

Here's the mix, kind of downbeat, just a little bit jazzy.

I would be thrilled for any competition. Want to finish your mix, Nuts? For old time's sake? (not actually that long ago, haha)

Or anyone?

Or are we done here...



p.s. If ORC was revived, I would totally mix for it all the time! I'm getting back into computer music! Though I don't think I'll be remixing much video game music anymore.

p.p.s. sorry to Nutritious, the source tune is kind of buried in there. But, er, you can make a game of finding it! Fun!

[Doulifée]

there was a lack of interest during the last contest. too much stuff at once maybe?

Still possible to resurect it if there are people interested.

[Ichitootah]

I hope a couple of people are... if not I guess enjoy the mix.

[jordex]

wow 107 lol
I remember this back when it was in the single digitz

I came second once then just gave up completely lol

I should definitely get back into these. expect to see me around!


I thought ORC died a long time ago, please keep it alive, I'll definitely participate and contribute.

[Doulifée]

ok people. expect news the 1st may.

[Ichitootah]

I'm in. :)
