Hi there,
I would like to upload this piano remix of the song "Stones" to your archive.
It's from the Ultima Series.

Ultima IX: Ascension (1999) is the ninth and final part of the computer role-playing game series Ultima.
Following the Avatar's escape from Pagan, he is transported back to Britannia for one final battle with the Guardian, who is increasingly ruining the physical and moral fabric of that land. He must restore the Runes of Virtue, cleanse the shrines of the Guardian's taint, and restore the people to the way of the Virtues — now knowing that he will never again be able to return to Earth. (wikipedia.org). The song "Stones" was composed by Lolo Watson.

Thanks for the source tune link! Glad to see you submit to RPGamer; they've always been great venue for musicians who want to show their support of game music.
Ultima IX: Ascension (Game Rip) - (01) "Stones"
Well, not that it's a contest of production, but the recording quality of the arrangement did pale considerably to the source tune. Not a big deal though. It wasn't pristine, but it was certainly serviceable.
Well, this was basically a pretty faithful piano transcription with some standard (and ultimately repetitive) piano embellishments. There was nothing particularly unique about this piano adaptation that allowed it to stand apart from the original on a personalized level.
Repeated the structure at 2:09. The dynamics of the track were OK, though I felt like I basically kept hearing the same type of stuff from the left hand performance during much of the near-4 minutes.
It was certainly a nice arrangement, Dustin, very capably performed and cool for what it was, possessing at least some interpretive value. But keeping the OCR Standards in mind (http://www.ocremix.org/info/Submission_Standards_and_Instructions) and what we're looking for, this wasn't a particularly interpretive or unique treatment of the source material, IMO.
Besides the criticisms on repetition, you've got to be willing to get more interpretive with something central like the melody, and/or consider weaving in more original writing ideas.
NO
