-----------------------------------
ORIGINAL POST:

So, Bahamut and I are running a DKC2 project.

A few months ago, we invited a number of remixers to participate, giving our favorite remixers first dibs. Yes, we're elitist twits. Deal with it. (though admittedly there are probably a few people that should have been on the original list of invitees who we forgot. Sorry)

ANYWAY, the first deadline was yesterday, and the project is now comming out of secrecy, and any unclaimed tracks are open. If you want to claim a track, send me a WIP, and if I like it, I'll give you the claim.

CLARIFICATION ABOUT HOW TO AUDITION: If you want to claim a track, send me a WIP OF THE TRACK YOU WANT TO MIX. If I like it, and that track hasn't already been claimed (or if whoever claimed it missed the last deadline and hasn't sent me an update yet), the track is yours.

Be forewarned: we're gonna be assholes about the due dates. If you miss a due date, your track is again open and goes to the first person to send me a WIP I like. If you miss a due date, but then manage to get me an updated WIP before somebody else does, you get your claim back, but if somebody else beats you to it, tough shit.

OURS WILL BE SUPERIOR TAUCER (http://olremix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=127581#127581).

[Hylian Lemon]

Right, I get it. You're trying to tap into PRC's immense fanbase by advertising right when Rexy pulls out a DKC2 theme. Real smooth.

By the way, act now and you can be a part of the world-famous People's Remix Competition, now featuring Donkey Kong Country 2! Just click the image below and let fate whisk you away to unimaginable heights!

Also: Good luck with this.

[Tock]

I'm a little confused, mainly because you didn't post any WIP date. What you're saying is that the tracks that are in grey and have not been claimed are now open to the general public? If so, by when should we submit a WIP to you to see if we have the track?

Also, I noticed that the song "Klubba's Reveille" was not one of those listed. Was that intentional to cut down on the length or just a typo, because I would like to give that song a shot if I could. If not, I think I'll work on "Disco Train"

Finally, is there any limitations in terms of genre. Are solo piano mixes acceptable?

[Arek the Absolute]

Been excited about this ever since I heard about it a while ago from Bahamut.

This is going to be awesome.

[Tensei]

ya I've already PMed you, but I might have done it the wrong way; by "Send me a wip", do you mean "Send me a wip you've made specifically for the track you want to claim for this project" or do you mean "Send me any old wip you have lying around so I can tell if you're good enough to join"? I did it the latter way, so I might have screwed up. :/

[Geoffrey Taucer]

First due date, for those I invited to get first dibs on the project, was yesterday. Next due date hasn't been decided yet.

Also, I noticed that the song "Klubba's Reveille" was not one of those listed. Was that intentional to cut down on the length or just a typo, because I would like to give that song a shot if I could. If not, I think I'll work on "Disco Train"

I'm about to leave, but I'll take a look when I get back home.

Finally, is there any limitations in terms of genre. Are solo piano mixes acceptable?
No limitations. You just have to send me a WIP that I like.

[Dyne]

You've piqued my interest Taucer. Let's see if I can barrel roll.

[KyleJCrb]

I approve this project.

[AMT]

Awesome, this is great news. DKC2 has an amazing soundtrack.

[anosou]

I approve this project.

qfe man, qfe

[SwordBreaker]

Good luck, people. This project is going to kick ass. :)

Whoever's doing Stickerbrush Symphony, please don't disappoint me. :)

[FiremanJoe]

Three words:

FUCK. YEAH. SEAKING.

A few more words:

I've been craving this for a long time. Many thanks and good luck to you Taucer and all others involved with this. :)

[Ab56 v2 aka Ash]

If Joshua Morse isn't doing Disco Train there will be hell to pay kthxbye

[The Coop]

Projects coming out the yin-yang around here :lol:

[Drack]

This is going to be incredible. The DKC2 soundtrack has some excellent source material to work with, a lot of great 6/8 stuff. Can't wait.

[Bahamut]

Projects coming out the yin-yang around here :lol:

This one has been in the works for a while though :razz:

[Skrypnyk]

k, I want in.

[anosou]

k, I want in.

I approve of this person and/or event.

[Aninymouse]

I approve of this person and/or event.

Your approval has been submitted and considered. We'll be in touch.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

CLARIFICATION ABOUT HOW TO AUDITION: If you want to audition/claim a track, please send me or bahamut a WIP of the track you want to claim. If we like it, we'll give you the claim.

[Fishy]

I've made so many enemies today for taking this track.

[Skrypnyk]

I'm one of them D=<

[Scaredsim]

I've made so many enemies today for taking this track.

I've already an other one. =D

[Antipode]

This seems more like an announcement than a request. All the major tracks most people would want are already taken. Why didn't you just personally request people for all of them?

EDIT: I suppose it would be a bit odd to PM somebody and beg them to do like a bonus room theme. I guess I can see that.

[Tock]

Any word on Klubba's Reveille?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Erm... I was thinking it should be in there under another name, but I guess I left it out entirely.

I'll add Klubba's Reveille to the list now.

[prophetik music]

whoops, missed this. i'm still in, just like before. i'll wait till it's almost done to jump in. put me in for sax and vocals if needed, as always.

[The Pezman]

Oh look, another awesome remixing project-thing that I'd love to try and be a part of... premiering right in the middle of the semester!

laim.

[Dafydd]

Mmm. A collab with Virt sounds like aural sex topped with whipped cream. Er. He probably wouldn't want to collab with me though. :)!! It would be nice if it said in the first post what software the collab requesters are using, and whether they care what software the other guy uses.

[Qyzbud]

Oh, such awesome news!

I'm up to my elbows in DKC projects already, but I've been dying to create something for a ReMix project. I'll put my effort into Cranky's Conga and see what I can come up with.

Are we going to be aiming for smooth transitions, or completely standalone tracks?

[Dafydd]

Will those who are allowed to join be able to listen to others' wips?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Standalone tracks.

And those who are on the project will be able to hear any WIPs that get posted on the project forum. Several people have just sent their stuff straight to me, though, so you still won't hear everything.

[Aninymouse]

Steel Drum Rhumba is that one track that only plays once you hit halfway through Screech's Sprint, right? Talk about an underrated track, hooooooooooly shit. I wish I knew a thing or two about making music, because I would pick that one in a heartbeat.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Erm... no, Steel Drum Rumba is the file select screen.

[Qyzbud]

Aninymouse, you're thinking of Bad Bird Rag... and yeah, that track deserves some lovin'. I look forward to hearing Mazedude's take on it.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Aninymouse, you're thinking of Bad Bird Rag... and yeah, that track deserves some lovin'. I look forward to hearing Mazedude's take on it.

Oh man, you have no idea.

[Antipode]

I actually have a pretty good idea for the Castle theme. I'd love to jump in if Audix can't make it for whatever reason.

[KyleJCrb]

Oh god, I just realized that this means Snakey Chantey is finally gonna get remixed. Tepid, please do this amazing song justice.

[Sole Signal]

I actually have a pretty good idea for the Castle theme. I'd love to jump in if Audix can't make it for whatever reason.
Already got a WIP up, sorry. ;)

[Azul v2]

Comeon, anytime I think of Donkey Kong Country 2, I immediately think of the music that Diddy raps when he beats a stage.

Someone should totally do it.

[Aninymouse]

Aninymouse, you're thinking of Bad Bird Rag... and yeah, that track deserves some lovin'. I look forward to hearing Mazedude's take on it.

My interest in this rogue project has been FIRMLY cemented. Honestly... it's Mazedude. This man is prolific.

Also, this project is coming together alarmingly fast. I mean, I knew everyone on OCR (just about) wanted a DKC2 project, but honestly I was never sure it would ever happen. AND ESPECIALLY with all the bajillions of site projects that we have already!

This makes me happy.

I think my sig is kinda full, otherwise the banner for this would go in there, definitely.

[Zoola]

Can't believe no one has taken "disco train" yet. I'll see if I can get a little wip in soon.

[Icy Guy]

EDIT: I suppose it would be a bit odd to PM somebody and beg them to do like a bonus room theme.
Your mockery of bonus room themes makes me sad. :sad:

Looking forward to seeing what mixes will come out of this project. Heck, I might even try my hand at a mix; I should probably get on that so I don't get stuck with Lost World Anthem again (like I did on OLR's project). :wink:

Lost World Anthem is godlike! one of the best songs on the soundtrack! IGNORANCE IS NOT TOLERATED!

[Nutritious]

Beat me to it :( I'd already started on one.

To your credit, I loved One Zero One. Where you been?

[Bahamut]

Can't believe no one has taken "disco train" yet. I'll see if I can get a little wip in soon.

SnappleMan had it but he's busy atm with his Contra 4 project.


And people, just because someone is making a wip doesn't mean you can't start one either - there's no guarantees that we'll approve a person's wip of a track.

[Dafydd]

But... if a track is listed in green, it means it's taken until further notice, right?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Yes.

tenchar

[Ray Falling]

I for one am very interested in hearing a remix of the beehive level's track. It needs some more attention because it's a good track but people seem to overlook it. (Unless someone can prove me wrong by sending a ton of links to remixes of said track n_n )

Looking forward to hearing what everyone comes up with. Faillure is not an option >_>

[Dafydd]

Well, it's safe in Virt's hands, I'm sure.

[Ray Falling]

Oh yeah, I have complete faith in the remixers here :)

[Dafydd]

I wonder if DJP will follow through with his mix or if he'll have to back out due to time constraints. It's not like he's not busy enough as it is.

[pu_freak]

Oh a DKC2 project! I gotta get myself a WIP very soon to send in... hmm which track?

[José the Bronx Rican]

Just to say, Tauce, I'm still in: that's a definite collab. I'm writing for someone else at the moment (not to mention working on Rama's mix challenge), then I'm puttin' in here. Just holler with details and what you need from me, and I'll look for inspiration playing the game and listening to the sources.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I have a bare-bones WIP, Jose. I'll send it your way once I get a bit more done on it and have a better idea of what I want you to do.

[Qyzbud]

Okay, my Cranky's Conga WIP has been submitted... I hope it's what the Taucer ordered. :)

[Kroze]

Hey Tauce, you still want me for that one with Jose?
If so, I am still in all the way!

Not to mention, isn't the correct name of the track called Kannon's Klaim? :P

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I'm going by the track titles in the .rsn from snesmusic.org.

I'm pretty sure Kannon's Klaim is the name of the level.

[Qyzbud]

The track wasn't officially titled, as it didn't appear on the OST. The name 'Mining Melancholy' was thought up by a fellow DK fan.

See this link (http://www.dkvine.com/interactive/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=5616&view=findpost&p=159030).

That's kinda funny, because everyone wanted Flight of the Zinger, but virt snatched it really quickly. If you REALLY need convincing of virt's quality, just know that he's the one who wrote Contra 4's soundtrack, amongst countless others (check out http://virt.vgmix.com (http://virt.vgmix.com/) ).

I'm going to say this though - so far from what I've heard of the project, I'm pretty satisfied in general, with some I'm really looking forward to seeing completed versions of some of these rough sketches/wips. I won't let unsatisfactory songs go by without a fight!

[prophetik music]

yeah, virt's pretty good at what he does.

[Nekofrog]

Edit:

Removed stuff after reading the thread. Will send directly.

[Skrypnyk]

I request this be deleted from the internet.

Thank you.

[Bahamut]

I request this be deleted from the internet.

Thank you.

But it's the best. song. ever.

[The Pezman]

I still hate you all for doing this during the semester.

[Bahamut]

This project will be going on at least for an year (I'd estimate a year and a half at least) - it's not like projects come out after a few months for the most part.

[Antipode]

Sure, but I think he was saying that when you start it is most important because once a track is taken, you can't do it anymore.

[Ray Falling]

Ehehe, I was mostly joking when I said "faillure is not an option" :)

That's kind of surprising though that you say 'everyone' wanted to do that song. Maybe the people who didn't get to do it for the project can still do it outside of it when they have time/effort. I'd love to hear their take on it.

Good to know that you're happy with what you heard so far, btw. That's very promising :) (Unless they're all hip-hop style and you happen to be the biggest rap fan or something* )

Must...wait...









*It's perfectly fine if you are, it's just not my cup of soda n_n

[Bahamut]

Sure, but I think he was saying that when you start it is most important because once a track is taken, you can't do it anymore.

Well, we intend on giving ample time for the deadlines - our first deadline was 5 months after we kickstarted the project, and we haven't thought of when our next deadline should be yet. However, we are pretty stringent as to what is good enough to be on the project - the invites had the first dibs in the first place, and some great tracks opened up due to lack of wips or in someone else's case, lack of time. There are still a few other established names who are interested as well, although I'm sure they may be dismayed that some tracks they might've been sitting for got snatched up really quickly.

[Bahamut]

Not the best song ever, but definitely not the worst.

That was sarcasm :razz: . It sucked, and Skryp knows it.

[Skrypnyk]

That was sarcasm :razz: . It sucked, and Skryp knows it.

it's true.

and it's true.

and for the record, that song was never officially released. It was (always has been, always will be) a wip.

[Bahamut]

Bumping it up, just letting you all know that the number of available tracks are decreasing, so if you want one of the ones left, better whip up a wip soon (pun unintended).

[The Pezman]

Yeah... you're not really helping your case of giving me ample time.

[griffith9]

I've always liked the underwater theme in DKC2.. kinda psychedelic..

[prophetik music]

i emailed teh vrit about doing a collab on his track, but i haven't heard back from him.

[Bahamut]

Yeah... you're not really helping your case of giving me ample time.

You had 10 days since the thread was first posted here to send in a short 30 second wip or so for us to quality check if you wanted a track...and the days keep increasing. We aim on our next deadline to be in early August, so at this point there's really little excuse for anyone complaining about time - I probably have less of it than most people, yet I'm here helping with managing the project among other daily activities.

[pu_freak]

Working on a WIP for "Token Tango", hopefully I'll get it done before anyone else :P

EDIT - WIP sent

[POCKETMAN]

i sent an updated version

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I'm having some internet troubles, so until further notice, all audition tracks and WIPs should be sent to Bahamut. If you send them to me, it may be awhile before I get them.

[John Revoredo]

Hey, I'd love to participate.
This is some of my stuff http://media.putfile.com/prometheus-farewell and http://media.putfile.com/prometheus-theflyingmachine

the bad thing is that is very likely that all the songs remaining are the shitty ones.... dammit.... Anyways, any suggestion to start with?

[Nutritious]

Working on a WIP of Stronghold Showdown. I'll try and have it PM'd soon.

[Bahamut]

I'm having some internet troubles, so until further notice, all audition tracks and WIPs should be sent to Bahamut. If you send them to me, it may be awhile before I get them. How ironic, my internet has been pretty crappy too the past 2 weeks thanks to the great people at Comcast.

[MechaFone]

I'm so looking forward to the release of this album. I promise I won't make a premature thread about it when it gets here.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Ok, my intertubes have been unclogged, and I'm ready to recieve WIPs and auditions again.

[Bahamut]

Bumping up for good measure - another track opened up zomg!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

SECOND DEADLINE SET AT AUGUST 10
For this deadline, we're looking for mostly-completed tracks. The arrangement should be finished, and the production should be well on its way there. We're looking for something that is complete aside from the final tweaks and mastering.

Those who have already sent me finished tracks are, of course, exempt.

[Nekofrog]

Cool. I haven't worked on it one bit since my WIP, namely because I sold my guitar to buy back my old customized 7 string which won't arrive for another 9 days.

But when I have it I'll hit it hard.

[José the Bronx Rican]

SECOND DEADLINE SET AT AUGUST 10

Perfect!! See you at OTAKON.

[Bahamut]

Bump - I recommend doing those tracks as soon as possible so you all don't get hit by the deadline and lose your tracks!

[Bahamut]

Come on, I know some of you want to hop onboard the project - there are still some good tracks open!

[José the Bronx Rican]

Listening to the sources again, I think I've got an interesting idea for "Steel Drum Rhumba." I just wish I knew when I can offer a draft. This month's not looking good, but I'll see what I can "WIP" up as quickly as possible.

[Aninymouse]

AGHAHGHGHA...

So many good tracks open for my favorite SNES game... Grrrrrrr... I've never done anything like this before EVER but damnit I'm about to give it a shot. If there's some decent software & samples I can get for free I'm going to try and WIP something up.

:shock:

[Bahamut]

Bumping this up - there are still a few tracks open, so send a wip to me or Taucer when you can if you want in!

[Bahamut]

Yet another predictable bump - come on people, I know you all want to be on a project like this, submit a wip to Taucer or me and let us welcome you in! (or reject you :razz: )

[pu_freak]

Hmmm I might improve my previous attempt and send it in, but I don't think it'll be sufficient

[TangentCollision]

yo, I'm going to try for School House Harmony

[DuskyFerret]

I have a really good idea in my head for the Game Over theme, it's just actually creating it that is the hard part. I've got holidays coming up so I'll see if I can hopefully make something out of it. I'd really like to be a part of the project, but I'll see how things go.

[Brushfire]

Is this one gonna be as awesome as the DKC1 project, what with it's natural flow and and superior quality?

[Bahamut]

Is this one gonna be as awesome as the DKC1 project, what with it's natural flow and and superior quality?

What project you know of has both djp & virt?

Exactly :shock: .

[Skrypnyk]

What project you know of has both djp & virt?

Exactly :shock: .

a.k.a., no, no it won't.

[prophetik music]

once my compy's back from the shop AND i finish my tracks for xenogears, ff4, and taucer's deal, then i'll take a look at this =)

[Bahamut]

Bumping this thread up - there are a few tracks left, so submit a WIP for them quick, as we want this project finished fairly quickly after the August 10th deadline!

[Bahamut]

An additional shameless bump, and just to add - I'd like people to claim these last 6 WIPs. Is there anything I can do to get people to claim the rest?

[pu_freak]

Alright I'll have another go at Token Tango...

[prophetik music]

i noticed that k rool's theme is still out there, with djp requesting a collaborative effort. i wouldn't mind if he brought the funk and let me use my new tenor saxophone to shred some shit =) i'll throw him a pm.

i'm still planning on doing a track, but getting married has been throwing a wrench in my schedule =)

[Xenon Odyssey]

I told Tauce I have an idea for Token Tango, but it isn't gonna be ready for the next deadline.

I don't know how you guys would handle that (since pu_freak is taking a stab at it).

[Nutritious]

I should be able to get my track done today.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I told Tauce I have an idea for Token Tango, but it isn't gonna be ready for the next deadline.

I don't know how you guys would handle that (since pu_freak is taking a stab at it).

The track goes to the first person to send me a WIP that I like.

[Xenon Odyssey]

The track goes to the first person to send me a WIP that I like.

That's right; you said that in the first post. I should probably lurk moar :P

[Therapsid]

Can't wait to see this project closed :razz:
Somebody should plan even a DKC3 or DKLand remix project :)

[Random Hajile]

If you guys need any voice work (Not singing), I'm more than willing to help!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Can't wait to see this project closed :razz:
Somebody should plan even a DKC3 or DKLand remix project :)

Unforunately, DKC3 and DKL's music sucked compared to DKC2 (though I have always wanted to remix the DKL temple theme...)

[HoboKa]

Unforunately, DKC3 and DKL's music sucked compared to DKC2 (though I have always wanted to remix the DKL temple theme...)

ew yeah DKC3 is crap compared to 1 and 2. The graphics were even down graded horrendously , as well as the gameplay x_x.

[Bahamut]

Just letting people know, Tensei-San wants a collab or at the very least help in suggesting a good direction for him to take with his piece.

Any volunteers/suggestions?

[pu_freak]

What style is he looking for? Or doesn't he know yet?

[Tensei]

What style is he looking for? Or doesn't he know yet?

I don't know yet, I'm open to any suggestions really. I've tried quite a few different approaches but nothing really seems to work (unless I stay really close to the source). It's hard for me because of the shuffle rhythm and the lack of a real lead melody (it's mostly fast, alternating melodic ideas, much like in a classical piece).

[Therapsid]

Unforunately, DKC3 and DKL's music sucked compared to DKC2 (though I have always wanted to remix the DKL temple theme...)

I don't agree. There are some tracks in DKC3 and DKL which would deserve a remix attempt. If only I could, I would try :tomatoface:

The graphics were even down graded horrendously , as well as the gameplay x_x.

I could just agree about this...

[prophetik music]

Just letting people know, Tensei-San wants a collab or at the very least help in suggesting a good direction for him to take with his piece.

Any volunteers/suggestions?

probably interested.

[pu_freak]

I'd offered to take a shot at the theme with Tensei... I'll let you know when it doesn't work out proph

[Bahamut]

Any other volunteers for the last 6 tracks (excluding Game Over)? I really want them taken right now.

[prophetik music]

anso and i are phunking out on lost world anthem.

[reecord2]

I was wondering where I could find an updated tracklisting? What's available, etc. Thanks!

[Bahamut]

anso and i are phunking out on lost world anthem.

You're gonna have to check out with bustatunez - he supposedly has a wip, but hasn't showed me yet.

I was wondering where I could find an updated tracklisting? What's available, etc. Thanks!

The tracklisting is always up to date.

[DrumUltimA]

i may get involved... if you're working on a track and want to collab, let me know. I'm sure marimba could lend itself well to dkc ;)

[Bahamut]

Also, are there people up for a megacollab on Donkey Kong Rescued (credits)?

I may buy a mic in the next 3 weeks if vocals are really called for. Having a whole band's worth of guys would be nice for this song I think, if not more. I'm a baritone, slightly on the higher end.

[SciRe]

I can record trumpet parts if needed.

[Rozovian]

I have a wip of Donkey Kong Rescued. Anyone interested in the collab, let me know before I've gotten too far with my wip, or the track is MINE.

[DrumUltimA]

me me me me me me

[Bahamut]

The tracklisting is always up to date.

I must correct myself here - the tracklisting is a little out of date, since I cannot edit posts in the Workspace forums.

Here are the adjustments that aren't made yet or extra clarifications on status of tracks:

Bayou Boogie, Forest Interlude, and Flight of the Zinger in the orange phase, with potentially Jib Jig (I'd like to hear one more update with definitiveness on its status before putting it on orange).

Danny B has been MIA since claiming Boss Bossanova - I hope he didn't forget about the project or anything else unexpected happen. I'm not sure what's up with norg either, but we'll see.

Nicole & Blake have time extensions for their tracks for various reasons. I may be inclined to give Tensei & pu_freak a time extension if need be as well, although I hope he could pump out a nice track by the time allotted (that goes with anyone really).

Nekofrog has been making good progress with his track, and I'm pushing him harder to make a full track than the others. For a death metal track, and the final bosstrack no less, I'm making sure it goes all out with Neko's current ability - it's the track I'm currently looking forward to one of the most so far.

djpretzel & virt get to be on their own schedules for obvious reasons.

Lost World Anthem is claimed by bustatunez, with a potential collab with DrumUltimA.

I'm fully confident in the remixers on the project. Even the short wips have indicated great direction with the source material IMO.

[bustatunez]

I started a Lost World thing that I showed to bahamuacer, if that's okay with everyone. I could help on the collab too - flute, piano, n00b guitar, MIDI strings/orchestration, djembe.

[Rozovian]

This is gonna end up like Black Wing Metamorphosis with a zillion remixers contributing.

Hm... I'm gonna have to adapt the piece to include marimba. Trumpet could easily fit in. marimba would need some changes, but I can do that. As for busta, I'm most interested in the djembe.

Gotta get the track approved by Tauce and Baha first. I just gotta write it longer before that.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Lost world anthem has been claimed by bustatunez

[Nekofrog]

Added another good 30-45 seconds to the track last night, Bahamut. Just need to fill it out and add a bit more, eq the drums properly, and it will be ready to have its vocals applied. Then it'll essentially be done.

[Bahamut]

Cool - post a wip when you think you have the instrumental bit completed so I can give it another look and give more suggestions if I think it can be made longer.


And it looks like zyko is going to try his hands on Game Over & Token Tango.

[pu_freak]

If you guys need any piano for the megacollab, I'm the guy you need

[prophetik music]

Lost world anthem has been claimed by bustatunez

would have been good to know before anso worked up a minute's worth of wip.

i can participate in the megacollab, what's needed? my voice can go pretty wide, and i can do alto or tenor sax (obviously)

[Bahamut]

Here's a crude preview of a few tracks on the project: http://wesley.cho.googlepages.com/DKC2Preview1.mp3

Yes, I'm aware I kinda borked up the fade in to the Mazedude track a little, so sue me.

Also forget about the tagging heh.

[Mithius]

Hi, there is not many left to choose from,
I have a few ideas for that Klomps Romp the first ship level, hope these ideas still flow. I play the game, the SFXs are loud it is hard to hear very much.

[Bahamut]

Just a warning, Klomp's Romp may not be open - I'm waiting to hear whether zircon wants to switch to that, since he originally wanted Snakey Chantey but picked the wrong track accidentally. We'll see in the next 2 1/2 weeks.

[Bahamut]

Okay so I was wrong, Klomp's Romp is still open. If you think you have what it takes, submit a wip to Taucer or me and we'll judge.

[Sole Signal]

I'll have an updated version of Krook's March up soon.

[Bahamut]

Tensei-san (and whoever Tensei wants to add on for the collab) has Klomp's Romp.

[diamondfalcon]

Whoaooaa, I just read about this project and now I'm so excited! DKC2 is definitely my favorite video game soundtrack!

[Mithius]

Hi I have been working on Klomps Romp,I will post,hope soon. I know now Tensei has it but I will still post it, if you like it cool if not cool.

[Tensei]

Hi I have been working on Klomps Romp,I will post,hope soon. I know now Tensei has it but I will still post it, if you like it cool if not cool.

If you play any live instruments and have the means of recording them you're more than welcome to join up for a collab. Sorry for snagging this thing from under your nose but I had an unexpected burst of inspiration. :]

[Bahamut]

So I now have a complete wav of Jib Jig on my computer.

We're making great progress so far guys!

[Mithius]

Hello, I cannot stop, for I have done a fair amount already even a finished structure. It is short 2.20s but at double time of 130Bpm. I have to continue I am sorry. If it okay as a remix cool if not it is still cool. That is how things have turned, the funny thing is, this piece is something I would not do. Though it has turned into something I now do.

[Dafydd]

I have to continue I am sorry. If it okay as a remix cool if not it is still cool. That is how things have turned, the funny thing is, this piece is something I would not do. Though it has turned into something I now do.
Parts of this deserve to go into someone's sig.

[Bahamut]

So if anyone has any unique talents and hasn't offered them for the megacollab (and shows proficiency in their instrument(s)), offer now or forever hold your peace on what is easily the biggest collab OCR will see.

[Skrypnyk]

I Can Do Drumz!!1

Woo!
Aug 10 is mah birthday!
Cant wait to see what you all came up with for DKC2

Also... I'm artistically inclined ;)

[Bahamut]

That's just a project deadline, not when the project will be finished or released - the wips are only in the project forums (a secret), or on Taucer's or my hard drive :razz: .

Edit: For those with extensions, you have a little more than 1 extra month - the due date is September 15th for those of you this applies to.

[Nekofrog]

So if anyone has any unique talents and hasn't offered them for the megacollab (and shows proficiency in their instrument(s)), offer now or forever hold your peace on what is easily the biggest collab OCR will see.

I can, of course, do something, but I doubt if I'll be needed for it.

[zyko]

TOKEN TANGO


also i'm down for the collab if you will have me and my axe

[Mithius]

Hi this a near finshed Klomps "Bluegrass" romp. I was wondering is there anyone willing to master this.

Also do you think any of the levels of any instruments should be changed,
what instruments and at what time in the track so I know where to change the levels.

This track is at minus -3 DB ,
I have left room for it to be mastered by someone.

the MP3 Was compressed to 192Kb.
it is 3.21Mb

The structure for this remix is :

Klomp verse - 0.00 - 0.16s

break 1 - 0.16s - 0.52s

Klomp verse - 0.52s - 1.02s

Klomp Chorus - 1.02s - 1.20s

break 2 - 1.20s - 1.59s

Klomp verse -1.59s - 2.09s

ending- 2.09s - 2.20s

The file is here
http://www.mediafire.com/?vwd5uzdwxvw

There will be 2 files one is a rough version and the other is titled:
Klomps romp -3DB for mastering

And sorry before I was, did not mean to be rude to Tensei-san or anyone else.

[Bozlifyme]

So who's doin the album art? If no one had been chosen yet, I might like to work up some wips after I've gotten some specifications.

[Mithius]

I think everyone is going stone me out of the village. This an revised version, I am not sure if this is any better,I changed the compressors on the Acoustic guitars and took out a a little of the mids on the overall track,does that work?. And For the lead Acoustic sections I accidentally added a mild distortion ,it sounded cool, though does that work here?. Are the levels right? i feel like im in a rush for no reason,this is not to be even used, man is that madness,that was a band.

It is Titled: Klomps romp revised
here is the file:

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it cool and thanks

You should start your own WIP thread for this. You'll probably get a lot more feedback that way. If you start a thread for this track or post it in #ocrwip while I'm around, I'll give you a full critique.

[Bahamut]

Great progress so far guys - we have 4 final wavs sitting on our hard drives, with some people close to being finished.

[Tensei]

I can, of course, do something, but I doubt if I'll be needed for it.

We have like 20 guitar players in on it already so you're not wanted. Get out.



JK I STILL <3 U

[Bahamut]

Prepare people - 10 days before the first deadline!

[SciRe]

Any news on the megacollab?

[Bahamut]

All news on the megacollab is on the private project forums.

[Patrick Burns]

An interesting little interview with Rare's "audio team" (including Dave Wise):

http://www.music4games.net/Features_Display.aspx?id=290

[Bahamut]

Very nice interview - so it looks like Wise took the time to carefully tailor the soundtrack to the levels in the game. He's gonna love what we come up with I think :smile: .

Also, Game Over is now taken by Mithius.

[BlueTronic]

Only 2 tracks left. I was going to try to get one of them, but I don't think I'll be good enough.

[Qyzbud]

It's funny that the two tracks yet unclaimed are those of the husband/wife couple.

I'd better get in gear and finish up my Cranky's Conga arrangement WIP. That deadline's coming up fast...

[Bahamut]

It's funny that the two tracks yet unclaimed are those of the husband/wife couple.

Don't worry about this deadline - if your WIP passes our criterion, we'll arrange for a suitable deadline.

[prophetik music]

if no one claims one of those two tracks by then, i'll do a remix of either one. if they're taken, though, go right ahead - it'd be a stretch to get my stuff done in time.

[Bahamut]

Just a warning ahead of time, I haven't heard from Danny B or ambient, so if we don't get anything by August 10th, those tracks will be open for auditioning as well.

[diamondfalcon]

I'd really like to do Wrinkly's theme because it's really a great song, but I've never remixed before so of course I couldn't make anything of quality by the deadline. Someone please do it though so I don't regret it!

[Bahamut]

Nutritious has School House Harmony.

[KillBill16]

Does anyone have a title? Or is it going to be "Kong in Concert 2"?

I can't remix at all, but I'll try to help with the name, if there is no name yet.

[Therapsid]

Kremlins in Koncert? :tomatoface:

Krockodile Koncerto? :sleepdepriv:

[Mirby]

Concerto de Crocodile Isle? I don't know, just a thought.

[Bahamut]

So we have 6 final wavs so far - good work people, all but 2 people have gotten in touch with us about their status.

For those looking to do more tracks, we may have 2 opening up tonight at midnight EST.

[Mirby]

More title ideas:
Concert of the Conquest (referencing the game's subtitle Diddy's Kong Quest)
Koncert of the Konquest
Crocodisle Concerto (don't know, just shortened the name there)
When Kremlings Attack! (yeah, I'm out of ideas)

More to come if I can think of them.

[KillBill16]

Some ideas:
Kremlin Koncerto
Ascending Crocodile Isle

Perhaps something incorporating "Symphony"? (b/c of Stickerbrush Symphony)

I'll try to think of more.

[Bahamut]

Alright so Boss Bossanova and Run, Rambi! Run! are open to auditions now! Send a WIP that we like for one of these two and the track is yours - it can be short, or long, depending on how well it showcases everything we are looking for in terms of quality.

[Sixto]

I'll finish...some day.

[Mirby]

I believe you, Sixto.

More title ideas:
Zinger Symphonic (no not really but still)
Symphony of Conquest
Conquest's End
Crocodile Concord (Concord meaning a stable, harmonious combination of tones here)
Kremling Accord (Accord meaning a harmonious union of sounds here)

[Therapsid]

Well, something recalling previous project like this:

Kong in Concert II: The Kremkrock Kakophony :tomatoface:

Putting Kong in Concert to remind old album and then adding new title. This could be a solution. About second part, free choice. :nicework:

[Mirby]

Always thought if we were going to use Kong in Concert 2, it should be in Roman numerals. Looks cooler. So maybe my ideas would work there.
KONG IN CONCERT II
KROCODILE KONKORD

or something like that. Looks good imo.

Though I do like Kremkrock Kakophony; references K. Rools airship (The Flying Krock) and his battle theme's name (Crocodile Cacophony). And Kremlings too, naturally.

[KillBill16]

Whatever you guys do, just make sure you avoid a title with 3 words whose first letter is "K".

[Bozlifyme]

I think it should definitely be something with Kong in Koncert II. Any word on the album artist?

[Mirby]

Then my two favorites without a lot of K's.
KONG IN CONCERT II
CROCODILE CONCORD
or
KREMKROCK CACOPHONY

[Bozlifyme]

crocodile concerto?

[zyko]

how bout

Krocodile Swamp Songs

[KillBill16]

Does anybody know when the 3rd deadline is?

[zyko]

november 30th

[CursedByFire]

whose project is this? I was wondering if you guys had an album cover already designed? Maybe I can help you in creating it...(It's what I'm majoring in for college! lol)
By the way this album is gonna be totally sweet!

[CursedByFire]

[CursedByFire]

By the way this album is gonna be totally sweet!

[Bozlifyme]

O my!!! Triple post!!! I'm not majoring in Album Art design but I'd like to try my hand as well. Maybe we can post both versions of album art like they did for the Dark Side of Phobos.

[Mirby]

already said Crocodile Concerto. Also, this won't be out by my b-day. anyways, I'm out of title ideas.

[diamondfalcon]

You guys should release this on Christmas. This would be such an amazing gift!
Either way, good luck guys!

[CursedByFire]

yeah lol. sry about the triple post. computer froze and i kept hitting the post reply button : ) but anyway, let me know who the head of this project so i can contact them about the designs. also let me know what the final name of the album is going to be if you did want me to design it or collaborate with someone...

[Geoffrey Taucer]

yeah lol. sry about the triple post. computer froze and i kept hitting the post reply button : ) but anyway, let me know who the head of this project so i can contact them about the designs.

That would be me and bahamut. We haven't settled on a title or anything yet.

Do you have a portfolio we can take a look at?

[CursedByFire]

I don't have a portfolio on hand but I can put one of my ideas on paper and let you take a look. I'll probably focus on the kremlings since that what you guys are suggesting the name of the album to be related to them. Let me know the basics of you want on the cover and what needs to be the cover or back cover...such as the names of the pieces on the album which is probably a ways away of finalizing.

[CursedByFire]

if you guys still need a name idea, maybe Kremlings in Concert would work via the previous album of Kong in Concert. It would help tie them together i guess...

[atmuh]

that is a terrible idea sorry but it is

[Mirby]

CursedByFire, there is an edit button. And I think that we should have the title be Kong in Concert II, with a secondary title possibly to follow. Heck, Kong in Concert II sounds good on its own, imo. And it ties it to the previous album even better than Kremlings in Concert, because it shows that it's a sequel of sorts. *wonders if there will ever be a DKC3 project* If you wanted to go that route, why now choose K. Rool in Concert.

[atmuh]

or they could pick a completely different and original name altogether!
notice i said "they" not "we" because it is THEIR project

hedgehog heaven --> project chaos
NO RELATION

[Mirby]

I didn't mean "we" like that, I meant it generally. And there have been many possible titles.
Crocodile Concerto
Kremkrock Cacophony
Crocodile Concord
Symphony of Conquest
Zinger Symphonic (just throwing it out there still)
Conquest's End
Kremling Accord
Krocodile Swamp Songs

Just to list off the ones already said. And then there's the possibility of inserting Kong in Concert II before it. Thought I'd put 'em all in one post for quick access instead of looking through two pages.
Oh, and K. Rool in Concert

[DrumUltimA]

hedgehog heaven --> project chaos
NO RELATION


thank god...

[Mirby]

thank god...
Agreed. No offense to those who worked on HH, though. PC was just so much better... *listens to Disc 2 of Project Chaos*

And so everyone knows, I never claimed to be a part of this project. I've just been coming up with title ideas.

[CursedByFire]

I almost have a sample of an album cover done. who do i send it to? Taucer, what's your email? or bahamut?

[zyko]

The Apes of Wrath!

[Mirby]

That is a good one, I like it. The Kongs are wrathful against K Rool for kidnapping DK. But the fact that it's a pun, I don't know. Not my decision anyways.

[drummermg131]

I really like the idea of starting off the title with "Kong in Concert II", as that clearly shows the connection between this project and the DKC one that came before it. If this becomes a trilogy, it will be very apparent to newcomers and those who have yet to check out the projects that these projects are in fact related.

As for an idea, how about Kong in Concert II: The Konquest Koncord.
Either this or KiC2: The Kong Quest Koncord.

With the first option, I like how the word Konquest kind of sounds like you're saying Kong Quest, even though you're not. But, since this is DKC2, it makes sense since the game was Diddy's Kong Quest. As for Koncord, using Koncerto would just be redundant, I feel, given that you start the title with Kong in Concert. By definition, concord means "harmony or agreement of interests or feelings; accord". This part works because just like Diddy and Dixie, all the other kongs want them to succeed in rescuing DK from K. Rool, as do we. And by remixing all of the songs that help chronicle and immortalize their epic quest, we are showing that agreement of interests and feelings.

Well, I don't know who decides what title will stick, but here's my idea anyway. :)

[Skrypnyk]

The Apes of Wrath!

This title is awesome, simply because I finished watching the grapes of wrath yesterday.

[Bahamut]

Just a request, please stop with the name ideas in this thread - we have our own favored ideas for the name, and will not go public with it until the project is out.

If you're interested in doing artwork, send a PM to Geoffrey Taucer or myself with links to the pictures or other sample artwork

[zyko]

This title is awesome, simply because I finished watching the grapes of wrath yesterday.

:) actually it's the title of one of my tracks

just throwing it out there for lulz

as an aside, and i know bahamut has already made it clear that they have titles in the oven, titles that do too much with the "K" dynamic are going to cheapen the project's credibility.

honestly.
Alliteration is cool but it isn't that cool :)

[Mirby]

Okay. Agreed about the alliteration part, and I'll stop coming up with title ideas. That said, can't wait for this to come out.

[CursedByFire]

http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1pGe93w9gvNZUL54Fy8vpOMvIwHPT7KuGH7rPM76UDPJ7xlMU wEkbNfakkKLjUzk1IUrK38seaLps
This is only a sample. Nothing final about this lol. Made it in about an hour. Any suggestions?
Thought I would use the brambles cuz its probably the most memorable in the game, especially from the level where you're racing screech. It was one of the
levels that ticked you off lol. If you want the link http://cid-995f65834d8064f5.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!995F65834D8064F5!113/?startingImageIndex=0&commentsExpand=0&addCommentExpand=0&addCommentFocus=0&pauseSlideshow=0

The title is no way final. I just chose that name just to fit it and see how it would look. That is by no means my decision, just took something and put it on there. I can change it to whatever Bahamut and Taucer want.

I'm also working on another one with a cartoonish look to it. And I'll probably do a third one with the kremlings.

[Mirby]

Can't see it, sorry. Can you try again, maybe use a different file-hosting site?

[Bozlifyme]

I actually like that a lot CursedbyFire. Good job.

[Mirby]

That looks cool. And the Brambles is a good choice, considering that track is the only DKC2 music in Brawl. And those stages are memorable, especially the race one. Have to go off-course to get the DK coin. And catch-up. Not to mention you're surrounded on all sides by DEATH! All in all, a great cover. I like the font choice too. How the text is all shaky; could reference Rambi running/charging or the secret ending (if you've seen that, you'll know what I'm talking about). Obviously, the title isn't finalized, but I like the font choice nonetheless.

[KillBill16]

I like the artwork, CursedByFire. If I could make one suggestion, could you add the sky and clouds as the background of the bramble artwork, like in the game? I am by no means an artist and am simply trying to give constructive criticism (then again, this is only a draft)

I too cannot wait for this project to be released.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

CursedByFire: I'll talk to bahamut and we'll decide whther we want you to do the album art sometime in the next few days.

In the meantime, please don't post further ideas here -- send them to me and/or bahamut. We want the album art to be a surprise when the project comes out.

[Mirby]

Well a sneak peek never hurts. Now I can't wait to see the final result! This album is gonna be EPIC! *will download on Day 1*

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Well a sneak peek never hurts. Now I can't wait to see the final result! This album is gonna be EPIC! *will download on Day 1*

Worry not, for epic it most certainly will be.

[pu_freak]

*will download on Day 1*

You better!

I mean, eh... good to hear that!

[Bahamut]

I did give a small sneak peak earlier in the thread with this very crude edit: http://wesley.cho.googlepages.com/DKC2Preview1.mp3 (ignore the tagging - that's a sign of how poor this edit was).

[KillBill16]

Just curious, what's in the "Medley" song? I don't have that song on my soundtrack, unless it's the victory themes for Diddy and Dixie.

[Bahamut]

Just curious, what's in the "Medley" song? I don't have that song on my soundtrack, unless it's the victory themes for Diddy and Dixie.

It's not a song from the actual OST, but it is to be a medley of various songs from the OST. Whether we decide to include this is wholly dependent on whether norg ends up completing this.

[Mirby]

Medleys can be good. Voices of the Lifestream had The Golden Ivories of Gaia, which was a pretty nice medley. So I think a medley for this would work awesomely. The music flows quite well, imo, and the songs should flow into eachother quite smoothly.
Also, Crocodile Cacophony and Snakey Chantey (the Rattle Battle stage BGM) better be extremely epic. I want to have an epicity overload here, people!

[Lord Obsidious]

Just listened to the sample, and i must say, it's very tantelizing. Crocodile Cacaphony sounds like its deftinely looking up to my expectations, and I recognized Virt's work right off the bat. I'm really digging how these tracks are following the original beat while going through different avenues of sound; even if they are just samples and are still in progress. Good job as always guys.

I've been keeping track of what's being posted on this thread, as I'm a fan of DKC 2 music, and I look VERY forward towards the release of this album. It sounds like this'll be a Christmas release, or at least a new years ones.

I'm surprised you think like this here, because Taucer and I both are surprised with what directions some people took some of these tracks - let's just say that they weren't what we expected. I guess you guys will see what I mean when the project is out.

[Lord Obsidious]

Well, a lot of times I do tend to expect techno snaffu, as that's one of my favored genres of music, but I'm also quite flexible (Drawing the line with a few, such as country and rap). Some tracks that aren't entirely close to techno or rock, or ones that take a path that i don't expect, often make me go O.o.

But usually after listening to the tracks a couple of times, I kind of start warming up to the whole tune, enjoying the break from techno. And i must say, I'm definitely looking forward to being surprised; in a good way, of course.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Zircon has dropped his claim on the map theme, so it's now open to anybody who wants it (and can put together a good WIP).

[CursedByFire]

If you wanted to see more artwork, let me know...I have a few more ideas on paper.

[Aninymouse]

You know, even though OLR's project is done, there's a good chance this will be released before theirs... haha.

Shame no one wants the map theme. I don't have the first clue about remixing, but if I had the skill or the time I'd definitely do it. Seems like a pretty easy source for inspiration, to me.

[Xenon Odyssey]

You know, even though OLR's project is done, there's a good chance this will be released before theirs... haha.

I WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.

Even if I have to go to Arizona myself and steal Zimish/Pocketman's computer to get the songs.

[POCKETMAN]

I WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.

Even if I have to go to Arizona myself and steal Zimish/Pocketman's computer to get the songs.


haha, i really do apologize XO.

i swear to God i just read your pm and sent one to Gimgak. When my old computer fried i realized i lost his e-mail. so all i have to do is wait for it and send them!

Shame no one wants the map theme.

I'm up for it Taucer!

[BlueTronic]

After the project is done, someone should start a DKC3 Project and get SGX and Sephfire to do a collab on Boss Boogie. :nicework:

[nrich]

Cranky's Conga is turning out pretty well, it's a fun, bouncy track. Proof-of-creation will be up before September is over, I hope.

You guys still lookin for someone to do the map theme?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I'll let bahamut call who gets the map theme, 'cause I'm working on a WIP for it.

[Bahamut]

Wha? Why me? :sad:

You're in a better position to decide than me...

Haha, ok. In that case, I'm tentatively claiming it for myself, and hopefully I'll have a WIP to show by the end of the week.

After the project is done, someone should start a DKC3 Project and get SGX and Sephfire to do a collab on Boss Boogie. :nicework:
I would love a DKC3 project. Am I the only person who likes the music in that game?

Can't wait for this project to come out, though. DKC2's OST rocks so much.

You're not alone Ski, and if you've played DKC3 for the GBA, you know the music is completely different from the SNES version. Most of them are pretty cool, but the snowy level is hilariously bad.

I wonder why no one here did a DKC1 album project before this...
