PRC210 - Results Time - Mantra in the Dessert (Faxanadu + Castle of Illusion)

[Bundeslang]

The People's Remix Competition 210
PRCv9-02

Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (http://www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv)

After a tie in PRC208, PRC209 ended in a tie again. Sggod89 and DjMokram both received three first place votes and they claimed the three points voting bonus as well. Evktalo could only watch and see DjMokram and Sggod89 win this round. This means again two sources.


Source 1 is selected by Sggod89
Hey,
My choice for the next source is the Mantra theme from Faxanadu (NES).

/Ira



Source 2 is selected by DjMokram:
Here's my source pick for Round #210:

*Dessert Factory from Castle of Illusion* on the Sega Master System, yet another platforming gem for Sega's 8-bit home console.
The game soundtrack by Tokuhiko Uwabo features very unique compositions that ooze with adventure and were ahead of their time.
This is one Mickey game that really deserves some time in the spotlight imho.

SMS Castle of Illusion! I actually have a Clockwork Tower mix in the works with Pleiade currently. And Faxanadu! I'm just floored by the source choices. I'll just have to take part this round, and I'll try to get Pleiade to participate as well.

Oh wow. I couldn't agree more with DjMokram's sentiment about the Castle of Illusion soundtrack deserving more appreciation. I was really looking forward what the source choices would be and this just hit home, couldn't have been better.

[Dj Mokram]

Faxanadu is a game I remember mostly for its creepy dungeons/monsters and its haunting music. Nice pick.
Mantra is proly the most well-known track, with a clear melody that should proove interesting to arrange.
I've got the feeling that this is gonna be a great round. :)

Eino, if you ever wanna collab on a remix of Castle/Land of Illusion, lemme know. ;)

[evktalo]

That'd likely be awesome. I'll PM you later.

--Eino

[evktalo]

I have a start, I'll try to work on it a bit each day. So I'm pretty sure I'll have a tune to submit.

What I have is not what I had in mind at all, but that's pretty common for me. I usually load up a random-ish selection of sounds to start with, and fooling around with them often takes the piece to a different direction that I had in mind.

[Ectogemia]

I DECLARE:

Musically speaking, I've totally lost focus over the past several weeks, so I believe I shall be doing this PRC thing fairly regularly for a while :D I'll either start next round or the one after, school permitting.

That would be awesome. The more participants, the better.

[Zerothemaster]

I'm actually going to do something this week, now that I have a new DAW and mixing headphones.

CHIPTUNEZEZ

[Ectogemia]

Ah, I may not remix this week :[ neither of these sources are really grabbing me.

NEXT WEEK!

i'll do it for "the people"

[chroxic]

My brain is so distracted with a billion other things right now. As a result, mine sounds like crap so far. Not that this is new information or anything. XD

I suppose we'll see what the next two days bring...

EDIT: I have 1:24 so far. Oddly enough, even though it has felt like I've been working on this thing for quite some time, I haven't even broken four hours yet. o_O

[evktalo]

I've submitted my piece!

--Eino

[chroxic]

I'm pretty sure I just dropped to a new level of suckitude with my entry, but I have submitted a "song". :<

[Zerothemaster]

Ah, it's been a while since I've done that...

Song uploaded. Dang, it was fun to make :3

[Dj Mokram]

Uploading a track always makes me cringe at how broken the user interface is.
However, I've noticed that the bot-infested forums have been wiped clean.
Gives me hope that change is on the way for ThaSauce's design in 2012. :-)

[Bundeslang]

Welcome to the voting stage
The mixing stage is over. 4 entries are submitted.

Sggod89 has a vote that can break a tie but it doesn't count twice. DjMokram's vote doesn't have a bigger value as other votes, because he entered this round as well.

I hope it gets fixed. I contacted several ThaSauce moderators about it, but never got a response.

Who is this mysterious "themselve" and why can't we vote for him? =P

Who is this mysterious "themselve" and why can't we vote for him? :/

I guess you know what it means (according to your vote). Next PRC, I'll change that sentence, if I don't forget.

[evktalo]

Good turnout!

--Eino

[Mirby]

Depending on the source next PRC, you may see me enter. :3

[Zerothemaster]

If I win, I'm picking this theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0VokApxgD8).

:twisted: trololol

Will that pique your interest Mirb? :P

[Mirby]

Yeah, a song ripped off from vgmusic will certainly pique my interest :roll:

also i voted

[evktalo]

I have voted today as well. Not only in the second round of Finnish presidential elections, but also 210th round of People's ReMixing Competition. Vote!

The.. POWER!!!

lol jk This was a great round! I attempted to remix Castle of Illusion, but it was a tough source for me to translate into guitar. I did have something going, but it wasn't that great and I was running out of time....

Just finished voting, and it was a pretty tough one to call for me. They were all pretty good, I almost did not want to even cast an official vote. Anyways, see you guys next round ;-)

It's results time.
The votes are in.

Total number of mixes - 4
Total number of votes - 6

Maximum Score - 18.

Chroxic did a nice one, and received some points by several voters, six points is not enough to escape the last place wooden spoon.

Zerothemaster was in the race for second place till the end, but with 10 points he is only one point away from that, but it's enough to claim the third place.

Evktalo received only one point more as Zerothemaster, but that's enough to end second, with 11 points.

And the first three PRC's in a row winner ever is DJ Mokram by unanimous decision, 18 points.


Congratulations DJ Mokram, you are not only the first one who wins three PRC's in a row, but you are also the first one who ever came in the position to do that:lol:. To stay relaxed under that pressure is a big prestation. The concurrention was big as well, but Chroxic, Evktalo and Zerothemaster couldn't beat you (again).

You know how it works, you may select the next source for PRC211. Send your source to me by PM (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=8264), other options are PM me @ ThaSauce (http://thasauce.net/modules.php?name=Private_Messages&mode=post&u=78) or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer a PM @Ocremix). Do that as soon as you can, but before Friday.

Remember to select a source with a MID file added. You may also select a source without a MID, but then you must provide a second source with a MID file.

You may select any source from any game, as long as it doesn't have an Overclocked Remix and it hasn't been on PRC before. Check it at the list:

[BlackRazgriz]

Congrats DJ Mokram!!!

6 Votes is decent. I'm glad to see 4 participants, though!

[Mirby]

Mokram's was the best (which means he should get to work on dat Cid track with these skills).

Pick a good theme, man!

[Dj Mokram]

Still can't believe a deaf guy composing with a gamepad won one (let alone three) round.
Also, am I really the first person to do a Hat Trick in this compo? :dstrbd:

Pick a good theme, man! Tbh, one song might sound appealing to a person and horrible to another. 'Good' is subjective.
The last two sources I picked were met with underwhelming reaction (proly due to the 'Big N' bias).
I just hope #211 won't turn into a zero entry round...

Yes you are the first one.
The reason is that in normal situations (with no double winners) it is not possible to win three in a row because the winner of a round is not allowed to enter the next one. But because some ties appeared (and winners are allowed to remix the source from the other) you where able to enter (and win) three in a row.

Because this time you claimed all the first place votes, you cannot win four in a row, because next round you only may enter with a bonus round (so you cannot win).
