Comments: Hello OCRemix, this my very first submission to the site, yay!
I wrote this song for a friend some time ago who enjoyed playing Twilight Princess just as much as
I did and she suggested I'd send it to OCRemix so other Zelda fans could listen to it as well.
The game's soundtrack is a beautiful one, however some of the songs are very basic and I've been
wanting to remake those for a long time. This song is the start to a hopefully bigger project,
provided there's enough interested listeners out there :)
I hope I did everything correct, looking forward to your review!!
So long,
Marco

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - "Hyrule Field" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnNy-ZP-Amg)
Opened up pretty interestingly with some stuff based off the chord progression of the original. A pretty loose connection to the source that I wouldn't necessarily count as source usage. The source tune kicked in at 1:00 with a pretty straightforward, quiet take on the melody, followed by belltones at 1:29, then both in tandem at 2:00.
It's certainly an alright approach here that's very genteel compared to the source. The leads really should have been louder. If you wanted them to not totally be upfront, they still could have been louder yet blended into the rest of the soundscape. With the leads so relatively quiet, my ear was drawn to how repetitive the backing pattern was. And the backing pattern was, indeed, ultimately too repetitive. Though repetitive, it filled out the soundscape very nicely and was still pleasant to listen to. But when you mentally strip that part away, there was little else going on.
2:29 finally switched up to something different, but again, once you get rid of the core pad filling out the background, it sounds like there were only 2 or 3 other parts in the entirety of the track. and the leads were still too quiet. Back to the same pattern from the starting point at 3:32 until the finish at 4:48.
This was pretty chill to listen to. Aside from the sound balance issues though, there just needs to be more development going on as far as the interpretation and number of parts. See what else you can do to provide more substance and variation within the arrangement and you'll further realize the potential here. Not a bad first effort at all, Marco.
