Hurry!, A FFX Impossible Remix Album, overwhelming participation

[The Author]

For a little background, I recommend reading this: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=28108 But the short version is: A challenge was issued, and we've decided to rise up to the occasion with a quick project that will hopefully be interesting to enough remixers.

So, this project is to remix the "too hard to remix" song Hurry! from FF10 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KrLQKMMESE ).

You might say: But one song does not make an album.

Well, here's the twist, one song, multiple genres.

So if you are interested, you can just manifest your interest and mention the genre in which the remix is gonna be. That remixer is then the only one who can remix in that genre. Also, if the submitted genre is kinda narrow, it may also prevent remixers from picking another narrow genre in the same family.

So, at this point we have 7 slots, although some may already be filled and this post will be updated reflecting who picked what genre.

Another thing to keep in mind is that in respect to the title of the source material, time will be of the essence in this project. While the exact time line will be defined after we get a number of people on board, we would like this album to be released before the summer solstice.

And by now you may be wondering what the free gift will be.

To coordinate the project, we will be using Google Wave. I have enough invites available for everyone who will be a confirmed part of the project. It might not be the most glamorous of gifts, but at least you'll get the street cred associated with being in a google beta thing.

To get the Wave invite, send me a PM with an email address to send it to once you are included in the list. Hopefully it'll work well enough to avoid having to find forums for a short term project.

In addition to google wave, we have forums!

Please post your track (pref. in MP3) on KNGI's forum for sure so we can listen to it and get a sense of it. The Author will update the track list accordingly with your status.

If you have a completed track that's done:

If you do have a lossless WAV file ready and uploaded on the Internet, PM the location to me, I'll grab it and let you know so you can remove it.

If you have issues with uploading a WAV (maybe your Internet is slow, you don't have remote hosting, or similar), PM me and I will set something up for you.

Also, if you are a visual artist and would be interested in providing art for this project, contact me, we could use at the very least a CD cover.

Yes, we have a 10th track... because someone proved to be not only insistent, but provided a strong WIP while asking to be part of the project...

Hurray for a crazy successful surprise project.

We also have a visual artist and web designer on board.

[The Coop]

Level of quality sought after?

[Level 99]

Ugh, why have I learned how to resist temptation only now, when the vision is so clear in my head?! I'll have to restrain taking a claim and wish everyone who gets on it the best of luck.

That being said, I can clearly hear some definite genres this can be done in:

* 8-bit chiptunes-y (*cough*halcprotodomewillrock*cough*)
* folk acoustica
* METULZLOL
* ambient electronic
* driving rock

I tip my hat to you, sirs and madams, for taking one playful jab at our ability to remix and throwing it so far as to make a whole album dedicated to proving that claim wrong.

[The Author]

Good question. Well, we want something that sounds good, obviously, but I don't think we will be placing an emphasis on making it to OCR level of quality. (If we can get some songs to actually reach the OCR bar, more power to us.)

So basically, there will be a minimum bar on quality, but it won't be too high... It would be easier to listen to a sample of the music participants can produce, but I don't think it'll be that strict, especially considering the timeline of the project being discussed with the co-director.

That's what I have at my disposal sound-wise in the genre I tend to stick with (piano/orchestral). Let me know (here or via PM) if it's up to snuff with what you two are aiming for.

[Rozovian]

You forgot waltz.

Actually, this is interesting. Simple source, a lot could be done with it, you just gotta transcribe it before you can do anything tho.

Must resist... joining... more... projects....

[Level 99]

Must resist... joining... more... projects....

You do not fight your battles against will alone! I AM FIGHTING WITH YOU! We resist together.

Or we submit and just do one track for the both of us. Or not.

[The Author]

Well yeah, a collab track would be half as much work as a whole track would be, you should totally work together, should I put you down for Polka?

[The Author]

Well Coop, you are totally qualified to be on this project, just pick a genre and I'll place you in the first post.

Also, to everyone who was contacted by Arcana via PM, please indicate what you want to do as far as genre as fast as possible, I'd hate this first come first serve approach to cause undue conflict.

As a rule of thumb, I'll give more importance to the submissions made in this thread over those in PM because it's a little more transparent this way.

[The Coop]

I'm thinking piano with some orchestration behind it (like "Reflection", but maybe with a few more instruments).

[The Author]

Added to the list.

By the way, to get the Wave invite, send me a PM with an email address to send it to once you are included in the list. Hopefully it'll work well enough to avoid having to find forums for a short term project.

[Arcana]

By the way, Larry's promised a "fast track" to the panel for anyone who has created an OCR-quality track for this source.

If you are going to submit this to OCR, we'd love for you to contact us as well so we can include your track in this mini-project!

[Rozovian]

Apparently, it's on vgmusic. There goes my last excuse other than that annoying little sane voice in my head saying I should do more important things. Will experiment with the source a bit until I know what style or genre I'm going for. If I can get something worth finishing started.

[Zeroboros]

You Forgot one more.Trance/Dnb with a little bit of house touches to it It'll sound Nice.
As for sound quality not too much of a problem, but What happens if they already got a Remix done for it? Can they use that as a sample for the sound quality?

[Arcana]

You are a trooper. You know you gotta do this ;)

[The Coop]

Well, I have the most basic of beginnings going. Here's hoping my old curse from back in day the doesn't come back to haunt this project :lol:

[Arcana]

We got project forums! AND we got a finished track. We mean business people.

Please register on KNGI and PM Arcana for a group invite.

[Brandon Strader]

I actually thought a trance version of it in 3/4 would be really awesome. If my version didn't work out, that is what I would have done. Usually trance is 4/4 isn't it? But the source is 3/4. I thought it would have been interesting. It's a pretty chaotic song. :-P

Trance Definitely Works, and so does house.I'm Completely done With My mix So If anything I'm gonna send it up when the guy wants it............Still can't believe I started all this:lmassoff:

[Gario]

As you know, I'm on this one. I'm going for a minimalist approach (I mean the scholastic definition of minimalism, here) - not sure about the instrumentation yet.

[Hy Bound]

Dubstep!

I got a bit of something in the works.

[Rozovian]

I have a dnb-ish wip, unless that's too close to dubstep.

[The Author]

Well, right now we have a trance/dnb thing from Zeroboros, and well, at this point I think it might be too close...

[Rozovian]

Depends on his sound. I can easily change mine.

[Brandon Strader]

I think this is as good a time as any to point fun at OCR's tendency to only make electronica

[Zeroboros]

Even if that is true, but hey at least It's made to a point where you have to love to love it......I know I do:)!!

[Arcana]

Do like, industrial! Or, we can hook you guys up with some WIPs to get a sense of what others' songs are like.

[LuketheXjesse]

Ladies and gentlemen a word of caution.........watch what you type on VG OSTS...OCRemix is watching....I know...I saw the post,and reply,and the army he's gathering.

looooooooooooooool

[Hy Bound]

I have a super simple WIP (http://hybound.digiskai.com/Blurry!.wav) right now, but i'll update it tomorrow with more of what i have.

[AaronD]

Not sure what the genre is for this, but it's up for a listen on my ->SoundCloud<- (http://soundcloud.com/aarondmusic/hurry-6b) page. If I had to label it, I'd say... orchestral IDM downtempo ... f**k it. Techno music.

[Brandon Strader]

That's a lot like the original up until the breakdown, that's pretty slick. Clips a lot though. :-D Clipping less noticeable when the hard drums come in, which I think are really awesome. Good work.

with a wip too!

Oh snap, I missed yours! Very short, off to a pretty cool start though. A lot of people doing the hefty drums. ^_^ Wabby wabby wabby wabby Wom wom wom wom Boodle boodle! Nice sounds.

Dude, that is SICK! I'm hearing the clipping that Brandon mentioned on the strings... The only thing i'd recommend is the snare rolls sounds a little too mechanical, so if you can vary them up a bit that would go a long way.

[AaronD]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will work out the clipping issue and get to work on reworking the snare/finishing the tune pronto. I'm glad you folks find it enjoyable!

@Hy Bound: For some reason I can't get to your WIP link. Checked out your tunes on MySpace though and I'm definitely interested to hear a dubstep cut... :banghead: Do you have it hosted anywhere else?

[DarkeSword]

I'll do one. Not sure what genre yet.

[The Author]

So we have 7 slots filled. Still wanna participate? No problem.

However, we will be more picky with the genre so at this point, all I can really say is: No more electronica.

[Zeroboros]

Must have gotten Flooded with Trance,DnB, IDM, Techno, DubStep, probably house.........Yup, he definitely got flooded:lmassoff:

[The Author]

Actually, I somewhat expected this trend in genres, the source really lends itself to electronica... It ain't so bad, and hopefully now the people will be more daring with their remix (Looking at you DarkeSword).

Also, thankfully people will also view this as a chance to try something new genre wise...

As for the "bonus slots" well, I think I'll stop accepting people on Sunday so that we can get moving with this.

[Hy Bound]

@Hy Bound: For some reason I can't get to your WIP link. Checked out your tunes on MySpace though and I'm definitely interested to hear a dubstep cut... :banghead: Do you have it hosted anywhere else?

Should be working now. I had a couple issues with it last night. I'm still new to setting up servers :/

I'll try and vary mine up a bit so it isn't pure electro shtuffs.

[AaronD]

DUBSTEP

So phat! Wicked LFO work man. :dstrbd: < EDIT: BASSFACE

Hey Zeroboros: Muchos thanks for recruiting me when you did... Almost missed the train! This is gon' be fun. :mrgreen:

[Arcana]

Man this filled up fast. Sweetness. Feel free to share WIPs, it helps people "vary" up their genres. If you don't want to post them publicly use the KNGI forum (http://www.kngi.org/phpbb3/viewforum.php?f=75) but you can feel free to share here too.

Also Google Wave's available for those who like the realtime communication!

edit: darn if there's no more electronica then I probably can't do my own track, ha ha :)

[The Author]

My hopes for submitting a track died when The Coop asked about level of quality. I can't provide quality...

[Rozovian]

Guys, do a collab with someone. Write the thing, and hand it over to them. You should have a track on, too.

Also, I think my arrangement is done. Still mixing and tweaking and stuff, but... yeah.

[Zeroboros]

So phat! Wicked LFO work man. :dstrbd: < EDIT: BASSFACE

Hey Zeroboros: Muchos thanks for recruiting me when you did... Almost missed the train! This is gon' be fun. :mrgreen:

No prob man I didn't even this It was gonna explode this much, so I'm suprised as much as you are.Plus I like that little preview ya sent me.beautiful work

Although he said No more electronica, that dosen't mean your out of the race........although I did mine in electronica to, So I know how ya feel arcana:smile:

But your the director of this thing, so its all good

[The Coop]

If my synths can be a part of this, anything you put out will be just fine :lol:

[The Author]

It's not just sample, I can't make good music.

[The Coop]

Don't shoot it down until you at least try. You never know where you're idea will go. It may just surprise you. I mean hell, my Necromancer remix for the last OverClocked Christmas album turned out better than I thought it would when I first started ("The Dead of Winter" for those keeping score). I don't know how others felt about it, but I was pretty happy with the end result overall.

At least give it a try, RD.

[The Author]

Well, I may have something in mind now that I'm playing around with the midi version... BUT I HATE YOU FOR MAKING ME DO THIS.

[AaronD]

Full draft up:

http://soundcloud.com/aarondmusic/hurry-12b

Weeded out some of the clipping (can't hear any on my headphones, but if someone else can, let me know), enhanced "solo", and worked out an ending.

[Arcana]

Well, I may have something in mind now that I'm playing around with the midi version... BUT I HATE YOU FOR MAKING ME DO THIS.

Dude, you could burp in time with the source music and we could put it on as the bonus track.

I might try to make a rondo or something this weekend. I'm not that good at mixing chamber music but maybe one of you guys can help out with that.

Also - I love you guys for jumping on this and cranking out sheer levels of awesome in record time.

[AaronD]

Chamber music? Liek with harpsichords and what not?

[Zeroboros]

I don't think a thanks is necesary. A challenged was issued (Incidentally by me:lmassoff:) and OCR Rose to the occasion, But I wonder whose Remix is gonna get fast tracked? This'll be a tough one and a pretty Intresting Match.

[The Coop]

I can already tell you to rule mine out :lol:

[Arcana]

Probably 4-part strings actually.




Also I have to confess, this morning when I walked out the door, I thought to myself, "I wonder if I could convince DJP to do a Hillbilly remix for this project".

[The Author]

Actually, I'd like to make elevator music, but I don't quite know which instruments to pick.

[The Coop]

Actually, I'd like to make elevator music, but I don't quite know which instruments to pick.

Listen to a few songs from Kenny G. That'll pretty much give you a solid template to work from.

[Rozovian]

Probably the quickest mix I've done so far. As in, the fastest I've worked. Minor touches left on the production side and then I'm calling it done, ocr-quality or not.

'2. Oinkness / "ethnic instrumental"'
Well if you say THAT, I have no objections to doing an acapella version with my voice, I just don't want to try to figure it out on an instrument again. x_x

P.S. wtf credit me properly

[HitoriJaNai]

Waiting for a reply from Arcana, but I realized it might be better to post here and make it public. ^_^;

I would very much like to join this project, of course. My genre of choice? Orchestra, infused with new age pads and such. :-o

Unless there's a problem, which I can't see... :dstrbd:

[Arcana]

Probably the quickest mix I've done so far. As in, the fastest I've worked. Minor touches left on the production side and then I'm calling it done, ocr-quality or not.

No problem, we're out to get an enjoyable album and I think what you've done so far definitely fits the bill.

@ Brandon: If you want to submit a "bonus track" let me know.

[The Author]

We will stop accepting contributors tonight, at midnight Eastern Time (GMT-5:00).

If you absolutely want to be in but have no clue what "genre" you will pick, just say so and I'll add you to the list of contributors. Sorry about the rather strict cutoff point, but even the contributors seem to think that hurrying up this project is the way to go.

Again, thank you all for participating and now we simply have to move toward a release.


Also, if you are a visual artist and would be interested in providing art for this project, contact me, we could use at the very least a CD cover.

[DarkeSword]

I finished mine. It's kind of a world/contemporary instrumental fusion.

[The Coop]

Where are you people finding time to get these done already? I haven't touched my remix since Friday due to work 8O

[DarkeSword]

So what do we do when we're done?

[The Author]

... Give us time to catch up... I don't know about Arcana, but I figured we'd figure this out as we went along. This is exceeding all expectations and due to my lack of experience with these projects, I'm a bit overwhelmed.

[Gario]

I'll work on mine soon - I was catching up on a few other things, but I'll get working now to get it done (and if you all know what minimalism is, expect a 15-20min mix, here). I suspect it's going to be primarily orchestral, but I'm still not sure if I'll throw in some electronic sound in it or not, yet (I'll lean towards no electronic sound, since you guys seem to have enough of that, but if it's called for I might add a little).

[Dj Mokram]

UN-BE-LIE-VABLE! :shock:
Running a project like that from scratch, while gathering so much support, all in such a short notice is highly commendable.
I'm not sure how other people will feel about the whole 'fasttrack' thing though, but you definitely pulled off quite a number on this one.
... Give us time to catch up... This is exceeding all expectations and due to my lack of experience with these projects, I'm a bit overwhelmed.
You strike me as a man who needs a co-director. Good thing you already got plenty of people qualified for the job onboard! ;)
Good luck guys. And, HURRY UP! :mrgreen:

[Arcana]

So what do we do when we're done?

Check out the KNGI forum for details for finished tracks. Thanks!

[Brandon Strader]

You guys need to figure out if this is going to be an OCR album. You'll have to have 1/3 passable and have people who are finished send in WAVs. It's not as overwhelming as you think it is, people are working, just tell them to play the song for a judge or two, make changes until it is satisfactory, then slap up a WAV for you to get. :-P

[K.B.]

Nobody needs to do anything.


Aside from my annoyance (and apart from my deleted post), this entire concept is fucking amazing. Can't do it. Can't do what? Can't do what?!?

And who comes out of the woodwork? Offtopic. Motherfucking offtopic. Ok and some reputable folk, but mostly offtop. What? Offtop needs no qualifier.

I love you guys. I seriously love you. Like if I had a woman I wouldn't as much but yeah.

K.B.'s anticipation event of the summer = this thread.


Edit: I think RD and Arcana, I think offtop. There were also several other offtop frequenters in the list of mixers. I ran with that. I see now that it wasn't the best angle to take, but what I was trying to say this was and would be awesome. I wasn't trying offend or detract, and I certainly wasn't trying to marginalize community or ocr as a whole, so sorry if I did. And I'm editing because posting again would definitely detract from the project.

[Rozovian]

Who is DrakeSword?

Also, it's so unfair (and a bit awesome) that this project gets a kickass start and sd3 is moving so slow (which is not awesome). You all suck. :P

Due to how the project is growing, I would urge everyone who hasn't registered on the forum to do so. Then contact me or Arcana to get added to the contributor's group. There are some discussion taking place for which the input of everyone involved would be nice.

The time line I promised is gonna take some time, mainly due to these things happening on the forum. Once decisions have been made, we will get moving accordingly.

And also thanks To The Author And Arcana, for Directing this Thing.

I got started on mine last night, and I'll register tonight for you.

I won't present the WIP until it's at least halfway, though, since it's hard to get an idea of it's direction with a short clip.

Hey, I'm actually registered on the forums and didn't know it.

Funny how that works...

Credit me as Brandon Strader plz
Also mine's been completed since day 1

[Arcana]

Two-week bump! If you haven't started thinking about this it may be a good time to schedule some time to work on it.

[Gario]

I'll get started again on mine in a day or two and work hard at making that deadline (you guys were serious about that 'rush album' thing, weren't ya?).

[Chernabogue]

Is it too late to join ? I'd like to make a rock/metal version of it ! :smile:

[Arcana]

Is it too late to join ? I'd like to make a rock/metal version of it ! :smile:

It is kind of late-ish, we weren't going to accept any new people. Do you think you could come up with a high-quality track in two weeks? If you can let me know :)

[Chernabogue]

I can work fast, but I don't know if the quality will be good enough for this project. I'll make a WiP and send it to you quickly.

DarkeSword said my revised version had good source usage so I'm going to go ahead and prepare a wav for you within a week or whatever. I'm done waiting to hear word back on stuff, it's incredibly annoying.

Uploaded finished track to the server. Been spending a lot of time trying to find workarounds to improve it while keeping CPU at an acceptable level, and I consistently run into dead ends. It's just way too frustrating with only half a gig of RAM and an overall shitty computer. :sad:

[Zeroboros]

Finished and posted up at the KNGI forums.Handling the wav right now But It'll take a while:<

[Arcana]

Yes, we're getting final renders in and yes, this project is moving on as planned :)

[Brandon Strader]

I got the flippin' wav on my studio computer, lol. I'll slap it on mediafire eventually, don't worry. I'm watching Law & Order

[Chernabogue]

Just posted my track update! :razz:

[Gario]

'Bout finished... Mmm, it's a long, sexy track.

Great to see that this project is almost finished - we sure showed Youtube who's boss! :tomatoface:

Hey... is anyone else using Reason on this project? I need to get something akin to a final wav up there, but the final wav is... *looks around sheepishly* over 200mbs. I have a limited amount of monthly bandwith on my internet, so I can't upload something that large, but I can send the rsn file without a problem (it's *only* 5 mbs) so someone with Reason could extract the file and do whatever they needed to do to it.

Alternatively I could send a relatively small compression (256kbs, or something like that) and call it 'final'...

I don't use Reason but I may have a solution. You can download Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) and import your big wav file in. Then, you'll just have to export a new wav that will be really smaller (well, the normal size).

And BTW, to Arcana and The Author, don't forget my username change ^^ (and thanks for all good feedback!)

[Brandon Strader]

WAVs, even uncompressed, shouldn't be that big, unless your song is like 20 minutes long.

Make sure there's no silence at the beginning and end, and that the WAV is 16-bit 44.1KHz Not 32-bit, and not 48KHz :-P

I've never used Reason but it should be fully capable of exporting a regular WAV. If your song is 3 minutes, you're looking at about 30mb.

Uh, this is Gario's track we're talking about. See the private forums. ;)

P..privat... frem.. what is this privat frem you speak of? I'm assuming it's 20 minutes long though. I'll not check it out and say I did, I'm sure it's great, I just don't think I could handle 20 minutes of Hurry! at this point, hahah...

[Gario]

Don't worry, it's taken care of. And yeah, it's pretty long, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem, lol (it really is neat, though - don't let Rozo's niegh-saying get to you, too...).

And the wave is 220mbs, by the way, and a hair over 20 minutes. Just sent them the 192 kbps version, and they're happy with it, so it's a non-issue, now. Thanks for the help, though.

[Gario]

Hey Author, here's something I dredged up from the old forum - tell me that this isn't prophetic...

Meh, it's not like I could remix it anyway, but yeah, the simplicity means that it could be used with a variety of genres IMHO. But yeah, I don't think a 1 source song tribute album to Larry's ego would fly here. Too bad though, would have made for the perfect response to "no one can remix that"

"Oh yeah? here's a 7-10 tracks album proving you wrong, personally, I find the chiptune remix the best, but the jazz and polka versions aren't bad."


... I even have a title for the project: FF10 Hurry, songs for petty arguments and ego inflation.We actually did make a 1 source song tribute album. We did make it 10 tracks long. I think this ended up being one of the best responses to a Youtube comment ever. If this became official (that's still quite questionable, for sure) then frankly nearly everything in there would've come true.

The title wasn't quite accurate, but I'd say that was quite a prophetic statement there nonetheless, Author.

Also, what's this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39m4XCN8ehk&NR=1That is called a new addition to the album, dammit - why did the guy get so much flak for making it in an unconventional style (Alright, the clipping was annoying, but really - the arrangement is quite awesome)? Cripes, Youtube can be narrow minded, at times... 'course, that goes without saying, I guess...

[Mysterious1ne]

with the right sampling this would tur out to be a killer hip hop/ rap/ rock track. given the right instrumentation of course... but its not impossible... I have lyrics brewing as I listen to the original tune. it could be done easily...

[Gario]

No tracks with lyrics (sorry!) but there IS some breakbeat stuff, metulz, electronic, ethnic, lyric and orchestral stuff in the album, which is still neat.

Now that you've posted in here you must listen to the album when it's released (which will be quite soon). I mean the whole thing - no skimping out on any tracks, ya hear?

[The Coop]

Hurry!

Coming Soon(ish).

[Arcana]

You've been posted.

THE PROJECT IS HERE!

[The Author]

I'm just happy this stuff is now available for everyone to listen to, we've had some pearls in that project.

[The Coop]

Shouldn't this have been in the projects forum?

Anyway, glad to see it finally got completed. Bravo to all involved :nicework:



Edit: Oh, and I posted a link to the album in .org's AIMMS thread, and pimped it on ReMod.

[Arcana]

We're not an official OCR project (nor were we ever really in need of a project thread on OCR really). This thread is a nice history of osmeo f the earlier conceptions of the project including the whole "dare" that Liontamer posted a while ago.

OCR a force to be reckoned with!

[Chernabogue]

Great job to everyone!

[Gario]

WOOT!

Shit, I missed this by a day...

...and lol at the fact that mine takes not one, but TWO youtube movies :lol:. Alright, let's get some publicity going, here!

[Mysterious1ne]

alright... I listened to this whole album and loved it. the entire thing. I will however say Roz... you, sir, are a douche. you song just changed complete vibes on me... loved it none the less though...lol. Yeah, y'all get my standing ovation on a job well done... no ifs ands or buts about it... good shot people

[Rozovian]

_I'm_ a douche? What about the guy that turned the source into 20 minutes of strings drones? :P

:D

point made... he joins the land of douchery too...lol

[Brandon Strader]

The first Mirror zip is still corrupt.

[Gario]

I see you're still nay sayin', Rozo?! And you got someone to agree with your wicked lies? The track isn't 20 minutes long...

...it's 20:16...
