OCR01455 - Kirby Super Star 'Victory Festival'

[djpretzel]

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[Arek the Absolute]

BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
THIS SONG IS AWESOME
No, I am not being biased
>.>
<3 usa and taucer

FYI for those that don't know, this is a teaser for my project that I am working on. Hope you all like it ^_^

[Geoffrey Taucer]

BTW, thanks Arek, for getting me to mix this song; I wouldn't have if you hadn't asked me to do it for your project.

Also, Dave: I just might have to go to that celtic festival this year. Perhaps a meetup is in order?

[Navi]

xenogears acid flashbacks.

:D

[Jillian Aversa]

You know what I love the most about this piece? It completely embodies Jeremy's personality: fun-loving, upbeat, quirky, and carefree! I know it sounds cheesey, but listening to this only reminds me how glad I am to have him as a friend.

You're a good man, Geoffrey Taucer!

Great work from the both of you. ^_^

[Kitsuta]

Hey Geoffrey!

You know how much I like your stuff. This is no different. I loved this song when you played it at Magfest and I love it now. I do have a few tiny, tiny suggestions though(also not unusual!).

The beginning part of the song is beautiful. That irish whistle is incredibly done, and it is well complimented by the other instruments.

But right when the whistle drops off -- and I'm pretty sure it's not JUST my prejudice for the instrument -- the song experiences somewhat of a disconnect. The only way you can tell it is the same song is that the leading instrument plays the same tune. However, the instruments themselves and the melody are so radically different from what precedes them that it almost sounds like you started the song over. This then abruptly changes into almost inaudible guitar that it's hard to tell the song didn't end! I know it's a short song, but that's a lot of changes in a few seconds, that it's almost like it's two different songs that are only barely connected by the leading tune. I guess what I'm trying to say in so many words(and it is a lot!) is that the song could do with some more unity. I love the variation of instruments, but in the middle you do kinda go overboard.

My only other, slightly related problem is the second part with the violin. The first part was, by the way, beautiful. But when it again drops off somewhat suddenly, and then comes back with a repetition of the same tune, it sounds like you decided to play the same part over again. It's a little strange!

Okay, sorry about the needlessly long and rambly critique. It's a great song. Now put more irish whistle in it!

Awwwwwww... how sweet!

Thanks, Jill. It's great having you as a friend, too.

:D:D:D:D

[KWarp]

Oh man, I'm so glad this got onto OCRemix. Totally deserves it. Proud to have you on the music team Taucer! :D
~KWarp

EDIT: Oh yeah he did didn't he? <(^_^; )>

[Arek the Absolute]

Don't forget Usa helped >.>

[OmegaDonut]

It's talent like this that make me very happy Taucer's on my project. And I very much look forward to seeing what Usa can do with a solo effort on his own Seiken Densetsu 3 project. :D

[Shhteve]

I feel you've both succeeded in creating the Mitsuda feel, and really blown this out of the water. Amazing job.

[IC]

Wait, is his name Geoffrey or Jeremy?

Nice mix, by the way, fellas.

[watkinzez]

Nice to see something Irish folk stuff getting attention in the community, though in a different way to Dublin Delight. Bit short, but what it does it does well, and sounds like it'd fit right in with the upcoming storybook. Would've requested that the silence at the end be taken out, but whatever.

[Snooper_1989]

Good job with the remix guys, I specifically loved the live guitars, gave it a good feel to it.

[Dafydd]

Everything is nice except the bagpipe that comes in at 00:42, which makes a horrible contrast to the lovely irish whistle. The sample is looping about 10 times per second, and it sounds awfully synthetic, which is a shame. There must have been a better bagpipe patch. Other than that, I love it.

[Nobbynob Littlun]

Lovely song. I disagree with the previous poster on the bagpipe contrast. And on the synthetic bit, yes it does, but so does 95% of the sounds on OCR. shrug

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Wait, is his name Geoffrey or Jeremy?

Nice mix, by the way, fellas.
Jeremy is my real name.

Glad you all like the mix!

[Underground871]

I thought this one was great, the style and everything...I don't know...just seems perfect to me. :D

[Heyjohnny]

I have to say that I've heard better from you Taucer...but with that out of the way I think you've done a great job with this remix.
This song was in desparate need of some good mixing, and what you've done with it is perfect. I really like your native whistle sounding thing that you had, and alsoo the fact that everything sounded like real recordings, and I'm convinced that a lot of it was.

I don't think I really need to say much about this mix except for good job, and keep remixing. Keep up your good work ;)

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I have to say that I've heard better from you Taucer...Really? Man, I think this one blows the rest of my stuff out of the water. *shrug*
but with that out of the way I think you've done a great job with this remix.

I really like your native whistle sounding thing that you had, and alsoo the fact that everything sounded like real recordings, and I'm convinced that a lot of it was.The irish whistle and all five guitars were recorded live. I don't know about the piano. Everything else was sequenced.

*salutes* will do, sir!

Silly nick name, no?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Geoffrey Taucer was my character's name in the NC Rennaissance Faire. It was a pun on Geoffrey Chaucer, and we changed it to "Tosser" because I juggle.

I liked the name, so now it's the name I use on teh intarweb.

[CPacaud]

AWESOME!

Some small timing issues, but otherwise this is sexy. And the length is just right too.

Mitsuda Taucer? :D

I thought as much. Unfortunately, when I have to discuss Chaucer, nowadays I often accidentally say "Taucer" instead. ;)

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Don't forget Usa helped >.>
Seems like most of the attention in this review thread has been directed at me, so before my ego gets inflated too much, I'd like to point out that this piece wouldn't have been nearly as good without Usa's help.

[Rexy]

Personally, I don't think it was a wise idea to relesae this months before the completion of an incoming project (in this case Milkyway Wishes). The problem I've seen with pre-releases involved in a project is that peoples' reactions to the project lacken when the entire thing comes out. Just look at what happened to Hedgehog Heaven and Chrono Symphonic; they're both okay in their own rights, but I felt the pre-release material from there scattered at OCRemix and VGMix have helped bring down the overall anticipation way too much.

Now that that thought is out of the way, this sounds interesting. Did you just transfer a short 15-20 second intermission into an irish folk song? O.o If that was my thought on the source material, definitely an interesting and upbeat attire showcased here, and as far as Geoff's tech-based antics have shown I think I see it as a big, BIG improvement in comparison to Cavern of Dreams.

However, people have still stated something like synthetic sounds being used down the line. That can be true for some of Usa's instruments, and I would have thought that with elements like that it should have gone through to the Judges. But it's still fine seeing it here nonetheless.

Mad props to the pair of you, and welcome to the OCR clan Dan :D (aaargh, did I rhyme that? I need a life.)

damn straight
show some Usa love f00's

And rexy, don't worry. I have a feeling that this song will not kill any "zomg"s that I will be getting when my project is done.

And hold up....pretzel heard this at the DC meetup....did I even ASK you *as in Geoffrey* to join the project around that time? I thought I asked you a little afterwards....Pretzel must either be smokin or thinkin of another song

[Usa]

Oh, good to see this thread. I didn't know about it being posted here, and I am rather surprised :o I thought is was some secret project song that will be released together with the project... oh, well :) I am at least glad to see it now and read through the comments, which seem to reflect a lot of positive feedback. Thanks, folks! :)

hmm... these bagpipes are not my fault, I would have had better ones, so don't blame me here (as seen later in this thread) :P

[Rexy]

I think the only word that is appropriate to you at this moment in time Dan is... "surprise" ;)

Nope, he's right; I showed it to him at the DC meetup. You asked me to join awhile before that.

[Arek the Absolute]

I see. Wow, I am actually surprised. It feels as though I asked you to join only about a month ago...

I always state "KWarp and my". Can't I be egotistical once in a while and actually bask in the glory from the fact that I actually came up with the idea?
Not saying that he isn't doing anything, cause he knows that I appreciate his work a lot, but...I did come up with the idea T_T

[CheezSamich4Hire]

Oh, wow. This remix is awesome...considering that's rare, because I'm usually a hard ass when listening to remixes. Great stuff, really! I love it, but I can't recognize the original song. Can anybody name it for me?

EDIT: (I won't be surprised if anybody doesn't recognize it; the source tune was about 10 seconds long.)

[Monobrow]

Yay!

Props to Geoffrey, Oh and Usa, all I have to say about this mix is:

IT SOUNDS LIKE GM BELLS HAD SEX WITH FRUITY DEFAULTS

:lol:

[Rico68]

Normally, I just DL and run, but this was an awesome track. I had to create an account to thank Taucer and Usa for their hard work. I LOVED the light feel in this. That cuitar and fiddles really made it.

Thanks!

[Barnsalot]

There were two songs that this mix instantly reminded me of: The Millinial(sp?) fair theme from Chrono Trigger and the Termina Theme from Chrono Cross. It's scary to me how closely this seems go along with those songs.

Very Mitsuda.

But fortunately, I enjoy the Millinial Fair and Termina themes. Thusly, I like this song. Keep up the good work Taucer (and USA).

[Corporal Eschebone]

We need more music like this.

Great to see you guys get this song posted. It's always been great stuff!

[Arek the Absolute]

I am so happy that you all like the music that they did. It is this sort of thing that I really want to experience when the project comes out. The reason we do these projects is this right here. Just the feeling we get when we see people loving what we produce.
It is with this that I thank you all. Without you, we would not have inspiration to do such awesome things. So thank you to each and every one of you. You all are great :)

I'm the same way. a bitch that's not easily pleased. but this is just simply pleasing. im pleased. so please, more please. ^_^

[CE]

Seriously great stuff, from Usa, and the man with the magical hair. This really sounds great and it's one of best damn mixes I've ever heard. I really like this light, carefree type of music. Not only does it help me study, but it also seems to make everything so much brighter and crisp when hearing it on your selected MP3 player and walking on the street.

Ok that sounded corny, but it's the truth.

It's technically great, kudos to both on that, and my only gripe is that it's not long enough. We want more of this stuff!

Congrats you two. This rocked.

[Mr. Fox]

OMGSEXY FOLK!

[Psychotic Ninja]

Wow....Just wow....This is freaking awesome. This is one of the best OC Remixes I have ever heared.

Great job you two.

[MaGi_TekK]

??? Am I missing something? I read all of the mostly positive reviews for this remix and so had great expectations for it....which were not met. To me this is just another ordinary run of the mill remix. Nothing stands out and grabs my attention, and there's nothing memorable to it either. I played this in the background while doing some work and hadn't even noticed it had started and finished. It made that little of an impression the first time around. But hey that's just me... 4/10

Don't bother, Arek. There's just no pleasing Star Salzman, who clearly can only be pleased by himself. (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2228211&highlight=#2228211)

[OmegaDonut]

Well, check out where his sig's hosted at. :wink:

[Arek the Absolute]

well shove me on the ground and rape me in the ass, you are right.

Well...ok...so he can say his words and back them...but the rest of you can't >: |

[MaGi_TekK]

I'm not starblast aka star salzman. I'm MaGi. My sig's just hosted by his site. As for a 2 minute song made out of a 12 second piece of music, I can one up you on that and tell you about a 2 minute song that sprung from just 2 notes. Get the animaniacs music CD collection volume 1 and you'll see.

[StarBLaSt]

Actually, the rumors are true. I have indeed created MaGi_TekK just to write anonymous hilarious reviews for my remixes and trash mediocre ones. It's a pity you crafty internet detectives figured it out!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Arek and whoever else may step in to on my defense: thanks, but don't worry about it. If he doesn't like the song, he doesn't like the song; you're never going to convince him otherwise. I'd rather see actual reviews than a continued debate over one particular comment.

Yes I agree..if you'll notice this is like the 10000th time I've reviewed a song I did not like, and every time, a rallying defensive cry comes along trying to blast me away for being so mean/hypocritical/a jerk etc etc...well it only makes me more adamant that people need to dole out their negative reactions as well as their positive ones. So don't bother cause #1 you'll NEVER win, (every insult is hilarious and amusing to me and makes me want to piss you off more) and #2, people like Mr. Taucer can appreciate a bad review and fit it into the bigger picture.

[Arek the Absolute]

meh, if you don't like it, then that is your loss.

[Martin Penwald]

This sure sounds like Xenogears, but it reminded me more of Aveh - The ancient dance (CD1, Track 17) than "Our village is No.1", but then again, I haven't listened to the OST for about a year.

I really think it's a pity that this song is so short. There is so much potential for solo-parts, so many interesting and unusual intsruments in there (bagpipes anyone?).

Other than that, I really like the song. Good work, I dig this style.

[Don-Don]

Can't stop listening to this, excellent piece of work.

[Emura]

Oh no, I think I'm becomming a Geoffrey Taucer fan (Not to discount Usa's work on this piece, mind you)! Tell me that's a recorder playing between 0:10 and 0:41. If so, the recorder will have finally redeemed itself in my eyes, from being a cheap $10 piece of plastic those education-types force students to butcher in the early grades.

I have to say, the title of the song matches perfectly with the piece. I get two visions in my head when listening, one being the town centre in Majora's Mask on day one, the other being a Renaissancy celebration at one of those "medieval" fairs one tends to see during the summer. I just wonder how they would have brought a piano back in time to that era? :lol:

The bagpipe sound seemed a little lacking of character to me, and I'll assume it is a soundfont. The main giveaway is the fact that it's playing in key. It's just missing something, which unfortunately I can't really describe.

At least this song will never be accused of being too long. It's short, but pure gold. The length is actually perfect for the song, mind you. It leaves me wanting more, which is infinately better than being bored of it. I'd say it speaks highly of the remixers' talents as well.

Edit: Whoops, should have read the write-up first. So it's an Irish whistle, and not a recorder. Ah well, one day I will hear a real recorder.

[Ice Dragon]

Kick-butt. I thought it was really high quality.

[SirRus]

awesome work guys! This is super ultra catchy and some real sweet live instrumentation and programming of sampled instruments... hi quality stuff. Anyone and everyone who has been in my room while this song was playing on my computer has commented on how they really liked this song.

GT you just keep getting better and better buddy! Keep it up!

[Starcom826]

I thought this was great. My only complaint is that it's too short. If only it could go on, heh.

[Dafydd]

Everything is nice except the bagpipe that comes in at 00:42, which makes a horrible contrast to the lovely irish whistle. The sample is looping about 10 times per second, and it sounds awfully synthetic, which is a shame. There must have been a better bagpipe patch. Other than that, I love it.

hmm... these bagpipes are not my fault, I would have had better ones, so don't blame me here (as seen later in this thread) :P

So you put the blame for that on your co-remixer? Lol? :) Are you going to stand this idly by without a single comment, Geoff?

The bagpipe sound seemed a little lacking of character to me, and I'll assume it is a soundfont. The main giveaway is the fact that it's playing in key.

Damn right. Wonder if the judges (or DJP, for that matter) would have been alright with a bagpipe being played the way they normally are though. Hm. Also, um, bagpipe players are few and far in between in most parts of the world... and unmotivated prejudice tells me most of them have not seen or heard of this site.

It's just missing something, which unfortunately I can't really describe.

Do you hear it looping, too?

I thought this was great. My only complaint is that it's too short. If only it could go on, heh.

Most media players (including portable ones) have a loop function built-in. Of course, hearing the intro and ending of any song can get tiresome after a few loops. I also get tired of looping samples, as you can tell from above.

Usa's right; the bagpipe is my doing.

[Arek the Absolute]

at least he admits it
i half expected him to go "MAN AREK MADE ME DO IT" :o

[Dafydd]

I still thought it was kinda lame to say "oh, yeah, I took part in making this remix, but I had no say when it came to that bagpipe". Didn't he listen to the final version before it was submitted? Oh well, I just thought it was a shame on an otherwise incredibly well made remix.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I still thought it was kinda lame to say "oh, yeah, I took part in making this remix, but I had no say when it came to that bagpipe". Didn't he listen to the final version before it was submitted?
No, actually, he didn't. Usa was gonna do the final mastering, and then his computer got pwnt, and he was completely out of touch for awhile, so I mastered it and submitted it myself, without him hearing the final version until it was already submitted.

EDIT: In fact, for the record, Usa offered to render it with several other bagpipes sounds which were much more realistic, and I turned them down because I liked the feel of this one, synthy though it may be. Perhaps I was just biased because my synth's pipes were the ones I was most used to hearing.

Anyway, THE BAGPIPES ARE ENTIRELY MY RESPONSIBILITY, AND USA HAD NO SAY IN THEM.

[Dafydd]

Gotcha.

[undinesfire]

Eh, this song makes me smile :) It's cute!

[Tidar]

CUTE :oops: :D :o :P :!:

[progressive]

love it.

[Abadoss]

In addition to being Norwegian, I also have a good deal of Irish and Welsh heritage in me. As such, I have a natural inclination toward Celtic music or pieces with a Celtic influence, which I can definitely hear in your mix. It seems a little short, but I still like it. :nicework:

[Turraken]

The quarter of me that is Irish rejoices in this mix! :D

[yosefu]

I love this song even though it is short. The guitars and whistle are some what of a good combination in this mix. Great stuff!

[Nutritious]

Initially I thought this was a mix from Chrono Trigger's Millenial Fair, so I had to double check the song title. Love the Irish Whistle lead to start things off. Nice, laid back feel to the entire song; very relaxing. Leads later trade off to bagpipes, piano and violin - of which I think the violin is most effective. Not much else to say, it's a solid song, if by the numbers, and is a nice, relaxing listen.

[42]

I can agree with and respect going for the Celtic vibe, and as such, it does it's job very well. This is really well done, and I can imagine this being played at some Renaissance fair actually. It's a really interesting listen; dynamics, tempo, and instrumentation change frequently. Also there is a lot of ethic flair that I don't hear daily contributing to the uniqueness to this mix. All in all, this is a very well done mix.

[Crulex]

The part of me that is Irish will always allow this ReMix to hold a special place in my heart. Seriously, good job on the Celtic vibe of this piece. The bagpipes, whistle, everything was just outstanding! It doesn't hurt with it being a happy go lucky tune. Well done.

[Emunator]

This is short but oh-so-sweet, we definitely don't get this brand of ethnic vibe on OCR very often. Nice job keeping things fresh all the way through by changing up the instrumentation, this is a really killer mix dudes :-D

[Black Mage]

Not only did I just make this into my new ringtone (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10523505/Kirby%20Superstar%20Victory%20Festival%20Ring%20To ne.m4r), but I also just learned how to play it on that Smule Ocarina app (http://ocarina.smule.com/my/ocarina/device/4968973/1599910)!

Great performances with the whistle and guitars, and the sequenced elements are really nice as well. I definitely get a classic Mitsuda vibe from this, and it really works, the B section melody just rolls along, and the song is almost too short, but it's infinitely replayable. Wonderful work, I love it. :-)
