Tetris Attack Remix Project (Mixers: Sign up at the Forum)

[Bren]

Sadly, the project will be coming to a premature close, due to severe inactivity over the past few months. I will be stepping down, but anyone who would like to try and take over the project need only contact me and they have my full permission.

The current WIP due date is: pending



Mixers wanted! You know the drill
If you would like to join the mixing team, send me a private message with a demonstration of your work, and Ill get back to you as quick as I can.


Attention Remixers!
If you definitely cannot finish your song in time, or you won't be able to stay in the project for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible. This is very important.


Theme: For those of you who are unfamiliar with the game, Tetris attack is a puzzle game which uses the characters from Yoshi's Island. The two games are completely different and have two distinct soundtracks. There are a few modes of play in the game. This project will focus on the 1 player Vs mode:

Bowser casts a spell on the inhabitants of Yoshi's Island which causes them to become evil. Yoshi has to defeat them (in this case, through a puzzle vs game) to turn them back to normal. Once he saves all of the inhabitants, he ventures into Mount Wickedness to defeat Bowser and his henchmen. That is the theme in a nutshell.


Aside from remixing, there will also be a need for talented artists for cover art and possibly other artwork based on the game's theme and characters.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

OMGGENDISCTHREAD!

I guess I should start actually working on those tracks now

[Fenrir]

Hell yeah!

Tetris Attack rocked my 8-bit grayscale world

[AMT]

Sweet! Congrats on making it to Gendisc, can't wait to hear this thing!

[Bahamut]

Hot, Tetris Attack remixes. I'd help, but I need more experience first...got a duet remix in the works 8) .

[Trentdaddy]

Hell yeah!

Tetris Attack rocked my 8-bit grayscale world

It did? Because I thought the SNES was 16-bit. :P

Though, I was thinking of an original Tetris remake when I saw this thread, this is still a great idea.

[ZeLLfAN666]

Oh man, this sounds like it could be total pwnage. Especially cause Taucer's in, you're pretty kickass bro. Good luck to all the remixers! Can't wait to hear this!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

ROFL, thanks.

[kitty]

....YES!!! *impatiently awaits completion of project*

[ILLiterate]

Even if this does somehow fail (which it won't) Taucer & his juggling will save the day

All we need now is pretty buttons for our sigs

[Bongo Bill]

I'll mirror it when it is finished.

[DJ_XBrav]

Sounds like a wicked deal!

It was on GameBoy, as well as SNES. It was one of my first ever GB games, along with Donkey Kong and StarWars. Good times :) I can't wait to hear this album. Good luck guys :D

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I know I responded to this project with a certain amount of intrigue and/or interest. Don't remember what happened with that.

[Bahamut]

Bump

Offtopic, but does Lungfish say anything when you do a combo or chain? It always sounded like "Roooom" to me.

[Arek the Absolute]

Well done gettin this started homey!
Big Bren be pimpin fosho.
I see great things with this. Goodluck yo.

[Bren]

Thanks Arek!



Bump

I think Lungfish's attack sound is just a weird sound he makes...not necessarily any word. On a side note, I got a good laugh out of thr first time I battled Kamek and he said "Hocus Pocus" for every chain or combo he made :lol:

[kitty]

Thanks Arek!

Kamek just pissed me off whenever he said that. It's like "Hocus Pocus Hocus Pocus Hocus Pocus" and I'd start getting owned.

I'm really looking forward to the normal Forest Stage remix. Love that level's music.

EDIT: I'm also looking forward to the credits remix, probably the best song in the game in my opinion.

[Guy In Rubber Suit]

Awesome! Tetris Attack is really underappreciated for its music. I hope to hear some guitar mixes on there. That would be sweet.

How about this?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/Trentdaddy/TetrisTriumphlogo.jpg

Of course it isn't done. I'm not sure about the whole pixelated Yoshi. I'll probably make it smaller when it is actually finished, I just needed that size when I was arranging the blocks to form "TETRIS".

Looks pretty good so far. I think it needs a background though. Also...there's no official title for the project yet...Perhaps it would be best if you wait for the final title of the project to finalize the button.

Also, this is a reminder for all remixers involved to sign up at the kazorum forum (link is on the front page)

[Trentdaddy]

Yeah, I couldn't think of a bg at the time, and I was starting to fall asleep. Which was odd because I woke up early from sleeping early. Like an hour after I woke up, I needed to head straight to bed.

BG ideas anyone?

EDIT: BTW, I love your sig DjBren.

[richter]

DUDE I love you! I had this idea sometime early last year but didn't want to do it myself. ROCK ON!

[neminem]

Oh, cool. Didn't see this before; anyway, Tetris Attack is an awesome game, though I've played it mostly via rom, and in situations where the sound should be off (I'm sure you can think of what those might be ;)), so I don't have any particular fondness for the music. Nonetheless, I'm happy to see projects for games whose music have not been widely appreciated, as that's part of the draw of the site, in general. I also know one frosh at my school who would be happy to hear about it (she's freaky good at the game, as well as rather addicted).

I'll also most likely be happy to mirror, by the way. Let me know if/when that becomes relevent.

[vindkast]

I posted this in the old thread, so I'll post it here too.

If anyone wants my track (Yoshi's Stage), speak up and take it. Everything I've tried for it has failed, so surely somebody else can get something to work.

(I still plan on trying to do something for this project, but since I have nothing done I can easily switch to a track no one wants.)

[Burger Deluxe]

Thanks Arek!

Yeah, so did I...

Until very hard mode, and he said it, like, 7 or 8 times in a row, and I knew I just got served something fierce.

But, yeah, this is an excellent remix! Funny story about this game-it made me decide to pick up the bass. Something about that synthesized slap bass that made me want to play it. And here I stand almost a decade later, still grateful for Blarg and his music. And his testosterone-inducing attack growl.

I can't wait until this is finished!

[V___]

WHO WANTS A FOREST WiP!!! I think its almost done.... any coments would be awesome. Rightclick n choose save as, cos its geocities and likes to lick ass.

ME ME ME ME ME ME~~~~~!!!! *listens*

EDIT: Sounds great. My only issues with it is that the opening doesn't quite fit the rest of the song and the weird piano notes at 2:50-2:51. The volume of the strings in the first melody passage might need a boost.

I also had a hard time determining if this was going to be a strings piece or a piano besides the source material. If you wanted to have another go at it, I'd recommend masking the source material a little more so it's not as blatant.

[DarkeSword]

Moved to WIP after a week! Get to work!

[metaphist]

I havent check the site in a while but...First, someone finally submits a MM7 remix, and now this, my beloved Tetris Attack gets some play?! Life is good. Good luck to all involved.

[Bren]

Alright people...lets really get this project into gear! Remember, the first deadline is April 1. Go register at the tetris attack project forum (http://taproject.kazorum.com) and get those WIPs in!

[Bren]

Whew....forums are finally back. The project title thread has been updated to be a poll for voting on the title. Be sure to check it out at http://taproject.kazorum.com/

[Bren]

I'm a little concerned about the lack of activity here. Id appreciate it if people posted more regularly in this topic for anything related to the project really. Just to keep peace of mind in knowing everyone is still around and working on their mixes.

[ILLiterate]

Sorry Bren, World of Warcraft is RAPING my time on EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE

Otherwise I'm still working, I'll just made this thread my homepage when I open Firefox

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Um... I haven't, technically speaking, made any progress at all on this.

But I WILL!

Yep...just over a month until the first WIP deadline.

"You're on this project" PMs sound like a good idea. I'm still waiting to see if the collab is going through, but as soon as I get the news, I'll says

[vindkast]

Hey thread. I actually have something going that I really like. That's pretty much a new feeling for me :D

But as usual, if anybody else wants Yoshi's Stage just grab it and go with it. I've started this thing over at least ten times now, so it'll be a miracle if I make a deadline. (Hopefully it's all been good practice though....)

[Bren]

bump. time to send out reminder pms

[Chavous]

*bump*

I'm about half done with my composition (not tweaked/humanized), but I have no idea how to continue. I'll post a WIP ASAP, which may be Sunday.

[Chavous]

*double post bump*

Umm....WIPs in?

www.soundclick.com/chavous

It's Tetrissnow WIP.

[Bren]

Yep. First due date is today, everyone needs to check in with some form of WIP.

[Bren]

A lot of people still need to put out a public WIP of their mix...however, a lot of people have, so I'm pleased to announce that the project is still alive and moving along. For those of you who still need to get your WIP out into the open, don't hesitate to post even your earliest WIP version on the forum here: http://taproject.kazorum.com and ask for suggestions and/or critiques.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Ok, finally posted a WIP of ONE of my mixes. Should I post it here as well?

[V___]

hey, old account is currently still in limbo so i'l update with this (it V_gasm btw). Update on my stuff:

* Forest Stage is pretty much finished, Taucer is guitaring for me, then i'l pass it across for final evaluation.

* Flower Stage is coming along nicly, but i might have to drop it... Iv just purchased my first property, and legalities/finances are swamping alot of my mind/time. I'm gonna have to drop OCR in about 1-2 weeks and hoped to have it done by then, but my week off work was spent on other things, so dunno if i'l finish. I'l pass what i have on if anyone wants to use it in their mix or somthing, but see what happns in the next 2 weeks.

[Chavous]

V___, if you need me to finish, I'll see what I can do.

[Bren]

Ok, finally posted a WIP of ONE of my mixes. Should I post it here as well?

Dont worry about posting it here as well. As long as you posted it on one of the two forums you're all set.

[Nathanus Blackus]

Got a WIP on the forum.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I think I'm gonna have to withdraw from the project.

Sorry, guys, I really wanted to participate in this one, but I'm just way too busy.

[ILLiterate]

D:

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Yeah, like I said, I really wanted to do this one. But I committed to more projects than I can handle, especially with all the additional hours I've been getting at work.

[abg]

That's too bad, Geoff. I was looking forwards to what you would produce.

Well, maybe if you still feel an inclination to rearrange some Tetris Attack down the road, then we'll get to hear what you would have done anyways :)

[Gadiandi]

Wow! I listened to some of the WIPs and it sounds like this cool be a really cool project. I'm looking forward to it.

[Bren]

Sorry to see you go Geoffrey. Take it easy.

Are you still doing that collaboration with Usa?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Are you still doing that collaboration with Usa?
I don't think so, at least not anytime soon. I'd still like to finish it, but it's sort of on the backburner.

[Hetcenus]

Don't forget you can always come back later if things chill up :D

[vindkast]

I've asked Bren a million times to drop me from this project, but since he hasn't I guess I'll post a WIP :P

It's short because I've started over literally a dozen times, and it's named deadend.mp3 (http://www.u.arizona.edu/~abiffle/ocr/deadend.mp3) for a reason. (Yoshi's theme)

I don't think I'm going to be able to make something for this project. I simply don't know enough to do anything I want to do. Maybe in a couple weeks when I graduate into unemployment I'll have time to learn more and work on this again.

gawd, i got SGX - Lofi Attitude (his new one) playing in the background, so when i read this it was like an inspirational moment just before the climax of a movie.

'... because i think you can do this...' *silence* (oh and its raining btw) *someone nods knowingly, close up of handshake* '...lets do this' *action scene with lots of ass kicking*

uhh... yeh, my home computer died. Not the entire thing, it just has brain damage, ie harddrive is down. ie all my project files EVER are gone. .... luckily i uploaded my forest rns file about a month ago, so i can work again on that. My flower tune wasnt so lucky. I still have to disapear, so i'm gonna cut myself out of that one. Sorry...

1st thing: Awesome :lol:

2nd thing: I'm sorry man...thats gotta be rough :(

Are you sure you wont be able to salvage the flower stage by ear? I still have the first WIP you sent me, or was the more recent version much ahead of that?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Flower stage needs to absolutely own, or I will come and attack the remixer with a spatula.

Or maybe I'll just sit in the corner and cry.

[V___]

MASSIVE amount of changes from the wip, its been one of the only two songs iv been working on over the pre-easter week... :( I dont think i'l be very motivated to restart, but if sudden inspiration hits i'l rewrite it twice as fast.

Losing the files was a bitch, i had an awesome 1942 industrial remix almost complete.... i wish i had uploaded it somewhere...

[Chavous]

It seems Geoffrey has an obssesion with attacking people with spatulas. :lol:

Man, that's rough V___. :(

[I.Medley]

Keep it going guys! From what I heard so far, this project will definitely do the soundtrack justice. Good luck!

[Chavous]

I will have an update later on tonight, with recorded guitar and a completed arrangement.

Edit: updated.

[V___]

Guess what i spent all of Sunday doing? Music! Guess what I remixed because my other inspiration was like nil? ... no guess. Seriously, just guess. i dont care if your... JUST GOD DAMN GUESS!!! yeh good guess, the flower stage is right

This one is AWESOME if i do say so myself... MUCH better than the original idea. Its finished, imo, mabey a bit of tweaking with the piano, but otherwise, complete. I'l send Bren a link when i upload it somwhere

[V___]

Breathe, Tetris Attack Project, breathe!! Arise from the ashes of page 2 and destroy my rivals!!! muahahahah...

Yep, All I wanted was to know you were working on something :wink:

as of now, 2nd wip date is TBA

[tweek]

Good to be joining the team. Finals are gonna be a huge pain this week, but hopefully I'll have a WIP out soon of the song (provided I keep working on the Halo, FF9, and Pokemon projects). Gotta love the busy life.

[Bren]

Next WIP date will be announced soon(ish)

[Bren]

Next WIP due date is set: July 15

[tweek]

um, my wip is up in the WIP boards (ocr). should i take it down? and what do i do with my wip?.

[V___]

Once I get Taucers recordings for the Forest stage, that will be complete. Also, cleaned up the Flower stage, its pretty much done. I'l PM you links once they'r all done.

I gotta say thanks to this project: This was the first project I joined, and due to the work put in, my music skills have improved 100 fold. Cheers!

[Hetcenus]

I'm here just to ask for some more feedback on my track. It's at the project Kazorum forums. Please...

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Once I get Taucers recordings for the Forest stage, that will be complete.

Holy shit, I'd completely forgotten!

um... I could be awhile. I'm already waaaaaaaaaaay backlogged for recordings.

[Bren]

um, my wip is up in the WIP boards (ocr). should i take it down? and what do i do with my wip?.

Depends on how far along it is. If it's early, then its ok to keep here. If it's close to being finished, Id prefer it to be slightly more under wraps.

[tweek]

considering it's practically done, i'd say i should remove it which has just been done. :)

[Xaleph]

I have both my wips ready to send, what email should I send them to? I don't want to post them here on the forum as they're 75% complete.

[DJ Riott]

Hey everyone, especially the people running this, I'm finally back. I've been gone for finals and graduation so I hope you didn't get too far without me.

[Xaleph]

I have a wip for sea panic - I'll pm it to you later.

I'm not as serious about this one as the other, so if someone produces a more complete wip than me, let them take it.

[Bren]

Hey everyone, especially the people running this, I'm finally back. I've been gone for finals and graduation so I hope you didn't get too far without me.

Nope, as long as you're still dedicated, you're still in.


Sounds good Seraphim, Ill put you down for it for now.

[ILLiterate]

Yar, I still need to get to Sephfire about what we're going to do to launch this track

[Liontamer]

Witold, PM me your latest copy of the WIP you wanted me to critique. It fell through the cracks a while back, but I liked what you had in place at that point and wanted to comment further.

[Nathanus Blackus]

Is it just me, or is the forum compleeetely dead?

And I'm going to see if I can drag my brother into helping me with a wip for Lava Panic. We'll see how that turns out by 7/15.

Yes, I just noticed that yesterday...I checked again just not and sure enough...yep...it no longer exists... I guess they delete forums which have no activity for X days.

At any rate, I think it was time for a new one anyway. This time a slightly better hosting site hopefully. Ill ask around and get opinions of different sites.

[Xaleph]

I had replied to several posts just a week ago, where the only activity previous to that was like 2 weeks (other than some spam ads)

Commenting on V's WIP:

Nice delicate sound here. Piano sounds fairly well-performed albeit noticeably mechanical. Fairly straightforward but decent effects to fill out the soundfield, although things did feel sprase nonetheless.

Strings come in at :51 and sound REALLY lossy, the way a low-quality audio stream warbles. It really drags the whole things down whenever it's in play. Left-hand piano part from :51-1:02 sounds a bit too rigid and looped. Audio skip at 1:15; could be my file, who knows.

Woodwind synth joins in at 1:27. The synth sounds decent, but rather plain-jane. The overall effects meant to thicken the instruments are ok, but the track still manages to sound somewhat thin, like the reverb's simply there to overcome any shortcomings with the texture. More bass string writing in here might help fill it out.

2:16 rehashes the string writing from earlier (:54), which felt too samey since the texture and number of instruments in play isn't too much different than before. Harp brought in at 2:49 sounds a bit mechanically sequenced, but the writing is ok. Ending is rather sudden and anti-climactic. I see how you were trying to wind things down, but I don't feel it resolved very strongly.

Good ideas in place so far, and this is without comparing this to the original. It could simply be a matter of the samples chosen, but most of them sound pretty generic, and the processing involved doesn't really do anything to change the tones and create something that sounds more unique.

Tempo and style felt like an issue. If you're gonna have the tempo the same the whole way, the piece may need to evolve and change more drastically over the 3 3/4 minutes. Right now, the arrangement is promising, but it kind of drags.

You should really get some feedback from another available J just to get another perspective. I'll give some more comments once I have time to compare with the SPC.

Second WIP checkpoint is coming up...Be sure to be working on your tracks.

[V___]

I'l be a little behind with updates... work is at crazy time right now plus I'v just been promoted so busy busy... so only working on joke mixes right now (dont have the attention span for serious fixups) Both my peices are almost finished anyways, imo, but I'l get em to you when I can.

[Bren]

Alright, it's the 15th. Time to check on where everyone stands as far as progression in mixing. If you have an updated version or anything important you need to tell me, send me a PM, and Ill get back to you.

[Chavous]

A post from Maine:

My latest version is on my soundclick (www.soundclick.com/chavous).

Bye!

[Misto-Roboto]

Just to remind those who are joining in on the TARemix Project from the owner of Omnibus Hosting that I am still up for sponsoring your project so you guys can have a solid server to work from. If you can get a domain name I can get your account setup so you guys have a decent forum to run from.

I'l take 'Having a tea party with old friends' for $200!

[Bren]

Things have just been going a bit slow lately. I guess Summer just does that to people...nonetheless, people have still been sending in new WIPs and giving feedback, so we're still moving along. Im going to put up a new forum soon which will have permissions for project participants to view restricted sections where WIPs can be posted for all people involved in the project to see. I think this should be a good way to let the mixers help each other out, whether it be a collaboration, constructive criticism etc. Ill make a new post about this forum and its url once its all set up.

[Bren]

Glad to see the forums are back up. The new project forum can be found at http://taproject.mywebcafe.net/

Couldnt get the title on the top of the page to work for some reason...anyway, I would like project members to register there and post their WIPs. Also, from now on I would like to keep any updated WIPs confidential within the project.

Shortly, Ill be contacting members individually about WIPs to find if they're still in the project or not. Until then, keep mixing!

[Bundeslang]

bump, before it gets down to page 4

Commenting on V's WIP:

Nice delicate sound here. Piano sounds fairly well-performed albeit noticeably mechanical. Fairly straightforward but decent effects to fill out the soundfield, although things did feel sprase nonetheless.

Strings come in at :51 and sound REALLY lossy, the way a low-quality audio stream warbles. It really drags the whole things down whenever it's in play. Left-hand piano part from :51-1:02 sounds a bit too rigid and looped. Audio skip at 1:15; could be my file, who knows.

It was weird seeing that without a big, bolded two or three letter word at the end.

[Bren]

We need to keep this moving. While a lot of project members have been making progress on their mixes, some seem to have vanished off of OCR, so I need to look into that, and if necessary, unfortunately, Ill have to remove some idle people from the project. As for now, Keep working on your tracks, send me PMs or IMs about new versions, contact others in the project as well. That's all for the time being.

[Chavous]

Heeyyyy, soory, I'm not idle. Just yesterday I uploaded a "complete" version, basically only small details need to be worked out.

Should I make a thread about it?

P.S. I need access to the WIP forums on the project forum.

[Bren]

the forum may have to be moved again...this server seems to be really fickle as far as reliability.

[Chavous]

BUMP FROM PAGINA DOS

Sooo...um....what's new....?

[V___]

Waiting for Taucer to record me guitars for my forest track

Finished Flower, waiting for judge feedback for possible final touches

Once my peices are finished, I'm probably submitting Flower stage, its one of the best songs Ive ever done.

[Bren]

Im glad to know that not everyone has set this aside as a temporary sidetrack (that was my impression for a while now)

At any rate...I think a lot of people have in fact slowly removed themselves from the project simply from lack of WIPs and communication.

At this time, I was afraid that retiring the project might be the only option. Ill have to find out about remixers I havent heard from for a long time, and see what their stand in this project currently is.

[abg]

I hope everyone is still working on their tracks... if not then I guess there's gonna be a few new TA mixes on OCR.

[Bren]

This much is true. Though people are showing interest in joining the project at this time, so all hope isn't lost yet. It's been on the backburner for a while now, but hopefully we can get things moving again.

[Liontamer]

You need to update the first post, more notable names, and more progress. Hopefully moving to GD gives you some help. Keep it moving.

[V___]

I was really hoping this project would be wrapping up by now...

Srsly gys...

Meh, if this project fails, I'm submitting 1 of my songs to OCR, i know that much.

[Bren]

Things really came to a standstill at one point, and I wasn't sure if it would be wrapping up. I need to get back into the coordinator mindset, or, at the very least, recruit someone for the sole purpose of helping to coordinate. I would very much like to see this project move along to its completion, though I don't know if Im the man for the job currently...

[Bren]

Alright folks, Ill see what I can do as far as getting this back up on its feet. First thing on the list to do is to remove mixers who have been missing for way too long, and once that is done, a new WIP date will be set.

Also, as previously stated, a co-coordinator would be extremely helpful to me at this time. All I require is that anyone who does in fact volunteer make themselves available to discuss project matters as well as 1 on 1 with project remixers if need be.

edit: also, as far as project forums go, any suggestions to actual reliable servers would be a good thing, after 2 failures, I really don't want to have to go through that again.

[Crabsmasher]

So I have some cool ideas for artwork for this project. Are you looking for artists? I'll make something tomorrow and show it to you. Even if your not looking for artists.

[Bren]

Absofuckinlutely :D

[Bren]

All mixers, save for a couple who are known to still be in the project, have been sent PMs regarding staying in the project, save for one, whose contact info I don't have. If anyone can contact Nick Tam, or if he reads this thread, please PM me and send me the necessary info.

Once I get a role call, I'll set a next WIP date and we'll resume the project.

Also, Bowser's Minion Stage is now a free track.

[Bren]

Welcome Pocketman to the mixing team, and also Mt. Wickedness is now a free track.

[POCKETMAN]

Woot!

[V___]

Still wanting more feedback for my track... Come into #ocrwip on IRC if you want to hear/comment

[Bren]

A new WIP date has been set. This should be for near completed mixes, and hopefully, if all goes well, the next WIP will be final versions.

[POCKETMAN]

Alright, cool.

[Bren]

At this time, I would also like to announce the official name of the project: "Deluge of Yoshi's Island"

If anyone might offer their digital imaging skills to create a reasonably sized badge for the project, that would be superb.

Also, I would like to start recruiting more artists into the project for artwork to put up on the site at the project's completion. This would more or less be images portraying the storyline of the Vs. mode with motifs of the project (such as music notes on blocks, yoshi wearing headphones) as well as other storyline images, such as Yoshi and the inhabitants of Yoshi's Island fighting against Bowser's minions and so forth.

I could do something.

Cool name by the way...

But ya, i'll work on it later.

Wheres the project forum at? I'm interested in hearing other peoples mixes...

[POCKETMAN]

Okay, i've been working on the art.
It's turning out great. I should finish up soon, then start remixing!!!!!!

[Bren]

Wheres the project forum at? I'm interested in hearing other peoples mixes...

It was out of commission for a while because various free sites just completely ruined the forum, whether it be the 30 seconds to load a page or countless spammers posting endless ads. Ill be putting up a new one at takeforum shortly. I've heard this one is somewhat more reliable.

[Bren]

Alright, here's the new project forum. I encourage mixers to register and post their WIPs on the forum there. Note: you have to register to view the forums.

http://www.takeforum.com/taproject/

[Bren]

Perhaps a title change is in order to inform those about the new forum.

[Xaleph]

I changed my dj name to Xaleph a while back - on ocremix it's still 'dj carbunk1e'

I signed up on the forums as Xaleph.

[Bren]

Ah ok, good. I wasn't sure who that was, so thank you for clearing that up.

Also, just a note to mixers who haven't yet signed up at the forum: There is a WIP board, it just is not visible until you login.

[Bren]

Just a reminder for mixers to keep working on their mixes. The next WIP due date is coming up soon.

[Bren]

Had an interesting dream the other night...

TheProphetofMephisto came up to me and said "Ill mix the bowser stage, only if you do the yoshi stage"

that's all it was...then back to nondescript sleeping. 8O

Perhaps it's a sign...hmmm

[POCKETMAN]

Working on 2 smaller ones.
Oh, and I started my remix.

Second version. Smaller and you can see tetris attack remix project better.

[Bren]

They look great! Mixers go ahead and add these to your sig if you have room.

Also, the next due date is coming up very soon, so keep working on your mixes!

[Bren]

Hey everyone, today is the WIP due date. A lot of people still need to check in with their mixes.

[POCKETMAN]

The best I can do is post it tomorrow.

I'm on a different computer and won't have axcess to my laptop til then. And that's where the .mp3 is.

[Chavous]

The last WIP I posted was basically as far as I got. I can now record the live sax, I just need to get the time and practice up a bit.

[V___]

I still got 1 song awaiting feedback from some people,

AND THE OTHER ONE STILL NEEDS GUITAR TO BE RECORDED FOR IT, TAUCER I"M LOOKING AT YOU, VERY SUBTLE ARNT I

I'l pm you links in a bit.

[POCKETMAN]

Um, i totally forgot about this. Sorry! :( Is is still going?

[POCKETMAN]

?? dead?

um......

[Chavous]

That's kind of what it looks like...

[abg]

:(
Well, I did write a track for it. Guess it's gonna be OCR-stuff eventually.

[V___]

*shrug*

ah well

[Chavous]

V__! Where the hell have you been? haha

[POCKETMAN]

Okay, well i'm dropping this. Bren, send me a PM if this starts up again!

[Bren]

Yeah...sorry folks. There's been too little activity for such a long time for this project to continue. I really haven't been getting any new tracks from 90% of the mixers who originally signed up for a very long time now. It's quite difficult to do this, as I had high hopes for this project, but it just isn't moving along. The project will have to come to an unfinished close. If anyone would like to take over and try to bring it back to life, feel free...I'm stepping down however.

[Bundeslang]

Since this Project has failed, but some Remixers did create a song for it, or at least a WIP, I would like to hear what they have finished. To show to Bren that the time he took in this project wasn't for nothing after all.

[Chavous]

www.soundclick.com/chavous

It's called "Outta the Snow, Onto The Beach". That's the latest update of it.

[Xaleph]

I can submit my songs to ocremix - I'm sorry the project didn't work out.

[Bundeslang]

It's never lost time. I'm sure someone (like me) will be interested in the works. I hope ABG and the other mixes who have a completed song or a far WIP will do something with the song as well. Good luck
