Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time ReMix Project - On Hold

Project Directors: Theophany, Emunator
Art Director: keiiii

Project Concept
This is a collaborative concept album designed to capture the story, characters and environments of Ocarina of Time through the combined efforts of remixers, performers, and visual artists. Because of the enormous number of Ocarina of Time remixes and solo projects over the years, we want this album to be a community effort. We are encouraging collaboration as much as possible with the goal of creating one of the most professional-sounding, cohesive, and story-driven OCR albums to date.

What We Need


Arrangers to conceptualize and complete remixes. This is where the bulk of the work will be!

Producers who are interested in offering their services to artists who would like to participate but don't have the production or sequencing skills to create an OCR-quality remix.

Performers who are experienced with any type of instrument and have a high-quality recording setup. We would like to get quality live performers on remixes in any instance where a remixer's sample quality isn't up to par.

Visual Artists to create accompanying pieces of art for each track or "scene" in the project.

Sound Designers interested in mastering and sound design for the project.
If you're interested in contributing to one or more of the above areas, please get in touch with myself or Emunator and show us a sample of your work.

Auditioning / Claiming
Unless you were specifically invited to remix a particular track by the directors before the project went public, all remixers wishing to claim a track will need to provide a solid work in progress that is approved by both directors (for overall quality and for its cohesiveness with the rest of the album) in order to make a claim on any track.

This is all in the spirit of collaboration and sharing ideas, so please don't feel daunted or afraid to audition. If you don't feel comfortable with production or sequencing, but are a talented arranger with a great concept for a track, we will work with you and do whatever it takes to bring your song up to the necessary level of quality. It does not matter if you are a posted remixer, an OCR veteran of 10 years or someone who just joined the community yesterday, the only thing that matters here is the quality of your work!

Genre Guidelines
The genre for this project is “soundtrack”, which is pretty open ended. A good reference of what we’re looking for is anime soundtracks. Anime OSTs have both story-specific “cinematic” tracks, as well as “themed” tracks which appear throughout the series at appropriate moments.

Anime OSTs generally blend a variety of orchestral, world, and electronic influences while still delivering the appropriate mood and energy. The Ocarina of Time OST is expansive, varied, and creates a strong sense of exploration and “seeing the world” and its cultures. That’s the kind of spirit we want to capture by incorporating unique instrumentation and diverse musical influences. BE CREATIVE. We strongly encourage artists to step outside of their comfort zone, since you'll have a great support network of performers and producers at your disposal to help you push your boundaries as a musician.

Genre influences for each remix should always be source-appropriate and should try to fit with the general direction of the album. To help with this, CONTACT ONE OF THE DIRECTORS with a concept for your track before preparing an audition to make sure it will fit on the album. This doesn't mean that we will only accept certain genres for each track, but we reserve the right to refuse a WIP if the genre selection clashes too much with the rest of the album.

Source Usage
Since many of the themes in Ocarina of Time are extremely short, we are open to the use/cameo of themes from other Zelda Games when it feels appropriate to the mood or setting. Good examples might be re-occurring locations and ocarina themes from Twilight Princess and Link to the Past. What's important is that outside sources fit from a musical/mood standpoint, and within the "universe" of Ocarina of Time in the sense that they don't draw too much attention away from the OoT source you're remixing.

We've already included a few instances of this on the working tracklist, but if there's an event/area in Ocarina of Time that you would like to see represented with a non-OoT source, just let us know and we'll see if it can work for the project!

Intermission Tracks
At the end of each disc, we've got a space for an Intermission track that is an exceptionally strong arrangement, but perhaps might not fit anywhere in the main album flow. These tracks could be great opportunities for various medleys or longer, more traditional remixes. If you have an idea for any of these tracks, feel free to get in touch with one of the directors about it!

Gapless Playback
The final album will be formatted for gapless playback. If you’re using ambience and sound design in your track intros/outros, please leave 10+ second buffers/tails which can be used to transition to and from your track. If your arrangement does not use ambiance, just keep in mind sound design may be added if there’s a need to help transition into your track.

Deadlines
Deadlines will be instituted and handled on a case-by-case basis. Always maintain contact with the project directors, especially if you cannot meet a deadline.

[Theophany]

thanks to keiiii for the sweet banner!!

[Xenon Odyssey]

Six years late, suckas! (http://zelda64.olremix.org/)

And since you are adamant on arrangers who don't have their production chops up to par, I'll have to think of something to send for a claim...

[Theophany]

Look forward to it! Just to clarify though, we're not looking to force collaborations or exclusively seeking out arrangers who need production help. We want high production quality on every track, whether it's the project staff or the remixer (or both) achieving that goal. We just don't want lack of production to be a limiting/deciding factor for people with a really solid arrangement...

[Emperor Charlemagne]

An "anime soundtrack" for OoT?

Yes, for goodness' sake, yes!

The claimed tracks sound promising thus far (Jillian Aversa doing a rendition of Forest Temple? I'd buy that for a dollar! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85cL1HisrNc)), and I hope the momentum keeps up. Tackling OoT is no mean task, after all.

[Dyne]

I'm a bit surprised this hasn't totally exploded into loads of people looking forward to it. I'm sure folks will see it soon enough though!

[Chernabogue]

Haha, yeah, Ocarina of Time!

I shouldn't join any more project but you guys are teasing me... We'll how it goes!

Anyway, good luck and I hope to see this one completed with awesome music!

[SPEED and HONOR]

This project looks awesome. Nobody claimed Gerudo Valley? I claim Gerudo Valley.
If somebody picked Gerudo Valley by the time I wrote this, I'd like to pick Last Battle.

My sound is electronic with trancy/progressive/dancy genre.

[Rexy]

I might do an intermission for Kaepora Gaebora, depending on how my other three (four?) coming deadlines go (FF6 / Wily Gauntlet Round 10 / Vroom / SD3). But either way, good luck in steering this through, Theo :D

[DaMonz]

I very very much desire a spot on this! :-D
I'd love to make something for Last Battle (If SPEED and HONOR doesn't get it first, that is ;) )

[ectogemia]

ME GUSTAN SONG OF TIME AND FAIRY FOUNTAIN.

Time to make a badass concept track.

[evktalo]

You've obviously put a lot of thought into how to run this thing and what you want out of it; this alone makes me look forward to the album a lot! (Plus Theophany/pixietricks collab? That alone sounds worth the wait!) Good luck!

edit: I've actually been singing Zelda's Lullaby as an actual lullaby for my daughter.. it works. :)

--Eino

[Moot]

SO. I'm really interested in helping out with this project, but I am unfortunately still pretty green when it comes to arranging/producing/that kind of thing.

HOWEVER.

I can play bassoon, and have the ability to record myself playing bassoon. I also happen to have access to a contra bassoon at the moment (though only until about the end of June really). If anyone is interested in some low reed goodness, I would be more than happy to help out!

[Theophany]

But either way, good luck in steering this through, Theo :D

Thanks... I already have some awesome help, and hopefully support for the project will pickup quickly (:

Moot, do you have any samples/recordings of your playing? We'll put you on the performers list if you want to offer your playing skill. Just make sure we got reliable contact info for you, private message me or Emu. If anyone you know is down to help out, like wood wind players in general, that would be cool too...

[Terra Mater]

Awesome, I love Ocarina of Time.

Well, I'd like to offer up my performance skills to anyone who's interested! I can contribute female vocals, folk harp, piano, recorder, glockenspiel, djembe, tambourine and rainstick, and maybe Irish bouzouki.

Considering harp and Zelda go really well together, if you need a real harp, I can help you. :)

@Terra

Wow, thank you for posting. Really impressive work... We're really looking for people with unique instrumental skills so we'll definitely be in touch soon. There's already a few tracks on the project I know could really shine with your help. Are the OCR forums the best way to keep in touch? If not PM us and let us know!

Yay, thanks! That's great to hear, I'd love to help and I can't wait to do so. OCR forums are fine for getting in touch. :)

[CN]

I'd like to contribute male vocals to this project, if I may.
Not too well known here, but I have various examples for your listening. For now, I only have them uploaded on my SkyDrive (not sure if you need a Windows Live account first), but of course you're welcome to give me your opinions:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=9ad5ffe6101c4a59&resid=9AD5FFE6101C4A59!175&parid=root

In there was also my entry for the Assassin's Creed: Revelations contest that briefly took place.
All of my recordings to date have only been whole performances of only one or two takes, so they are not perfect. I've never really practised on any one track multiple times to achieve the most perfect performance (or even to crop multiple sections and compile something perfect), so I would very much look forward to such a chance.

In a nutshell, I have a good range of sustained notes and vibrato (high notes included, but particularly with deep low notes), and I find myself typically suited as a jazzy, crooner type, but I'm really open to anything...even the delicate New Age music that pixietricks really excels at!

[Theophany]

CN, sounds like you can sing pretty well man. I'll mark you down. I was listening to deep memory and thought of the new Deus Ex OST. Vocals like yours could sound really cool on a Temple remix or one of the darker ocarina themes. Are these forums the best way to contact you? Also, nice name. My family is from Toronto... :)

[C7]

I plan on getting a wip together for a track or two for this soon (along with everything else I plan on doing :-P ), but I want to put myself down for trumpet playing. Here are a few examples:

Zelda: Majora's Mask - Healing Majora (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc6g0z0uQsc) (posted on OCR)

Mega Man - Riding the Avalanche (http://www.adamprack.com/The%20Gentlemaster%27s%20Club%20-%20C7%20-%20Riding%20the%20Avalanche%20%28Chill%20Man%20in% 20Wily%20Castle%205%29.mp3)

Mega Man - License to Chill (http://www.adamprack.com/The%20Gentlemasters%20Club%20-%20C7%20-%20License%20to%20Chill%20%28Chill%20Man%20in%20Co ssack%20Fortress%204-2%29.mp3)

Mega Man - The Filler (http://www.adamprack.com/C7%20-%20The%20Filler.mp3)

I'm not sure what my wife is willing to do at the moment, but she's the clarinetist in License and Riding.

[Emperor Charlemagne]

While indeed I am continuing to work on my FF6 track, I'm starting to put together an audition track for this project for the Temple of Time. While that should by no means frighten off any more talented musician from wanting to take the iconic track, hopefully I can submit something and see if it's up to snuff. If not, it's off to the workshop, I suppose : p

[evktalo]

I for one would love to hear some CN vocals (I liked that PRC entry you did a while back) on a track, so this is getting better and better! (:

So ironic since I actually live there, yet not many catch on to that! But it's also just my name abbreviated; real clever, right?
There should be more Canadian presences around here (nevermind Toronto) !
But for now, I guess all I have is this site or my e-mail...which isn't any more quicker than the site, anyway.

...Wow, I completely forgot about mentioning that! I'm certainly better since then, and glad you still like it.

[Phonetic Hero]

I'm not sure what my wife is willing to do at the moment

I hope it's butt stuff

...Too far...?

Anyway, this sounds like a fun project. I'll check back in a couple weeks to see if you guys still need remixers, cause I'm musically swamped with the last round of the WCRG since I'll be my team's primary mixer and with writing original stuff to finish up an EP, plus getting settled into the percussion studio at school/preparing for placement auditions. So yeah, I'll check the thread or PM someone or whatever in a couple weeks to see if there's still a spot. Laterz!

[kevincharm]

I think I will be joining in the fun after I'm done with my current workload! 8)

[Theophany]

Hey guys, there's been a little delay with responding to auditions but I tend to be really busy during the week. We've had a few awesome auditions from people like Doc Nano, Abadoss, and Sir Jordanius so far. I just want to encourage everyone to link people who might be interested in the project. If you can attract new talent to OCR even better. If you have a recommendation for someone who should be on the project, let us know and we'll check them out! We're still looking for musicians (guitars, brass, strings, woodwind, world instruments, vocalists) as well as artists.

I want to encourage more remixers to audition, too--I know people are really busy with work and other projects but auditions are for getting your concept across, not subbing a completed mix. You can include a little writeup to help explain where you want to take your track if it helps. We also want balance between cinematic and world fusion type tracks and more traditional OC remixes with solid style, groove and energy.

We're always open to making a cool idea work for the project.

[Matt E. Waldman]

If it's not too late, I'd like to claim Lake Hylia (TP)! I have a few good ideas for that. I might be able to send an audition through this weekend.

Edit: Whoops, probably should read the first post more. I'll send in a WIP/audition as soon as possible!

Also, that is a very sexy banner.

[HitoriJaNai]

I never thought I'd be saying this again... but this project... Its so enticing, I'm gonna try my hand at arranging Temple of Time. One of my all-time favorite Zelda songs... I'll be sending my audition along soon, although I will definitely say that both samples and production may hold me back slightly... :whatevaa: Hopefully that won't be too much of an issue to work past.

[Farkle]

Hi, everyone!

Farkle here, I'm a new sign-on, but many of the OCR crew know me as Mike Worth (old friend of Zircon and PixieTricks); I've been meaning to sit down and get into the OCR community for a couple of years now, and now's the time to do it! :)

I would love to contribute some remixes to the Ocarina project; as one of the other posters also does, I sing this music to my 5 year old daughter.

There is a lot of competition for the remaining tracks, I'll help fill in the blanks. I'd love to remix the Fairy Fountain, the Nocturne of Shadow, and/or the Bolero of Fire. If those are taken, I'll happily do the opening Deku Tree suite.

With the short melodies, Nocturne and Bolero, is it okay to expand them a bit, into a more symphonic piece, melodic/harmonic variation, some key change moves, etc?

Thank you all for letting me be a part of this community and this project!

Farkle

[Salluz]

Hello, I am Salluz. I want to claim "Last Battle" on the Zelda OoT project. If i have nothing to show for it, then I shall dismiss myself before the date. Edit: long before the date. Part of two projects, promising three tracks.

[Theophany]

Awesome Mike, we're excited to hear your takes on these sources! Emu will be sending you a PM pretty soon!

@Salluz

Last Battle will be a collaboration track I'm going to supervise kind of closely so keep that in mind. It's not a track we'll be giving anyone solo claim to unless their audition is just completely insane. I'm hoping Last Battle can be a little bit more of a community effort in terms of arrangement and performing so that it really delivers both on production and as a piece of music... so we want people who are looking to collaborate to sub their ideas moreso than audition for solo claim on that one. Let us know!

[Salluz]

Cool, that is fine with me.

[zyko]

i've arranged about half of these over the years. but temple of time has still eluded me.

can i has?

They just want you to send in a WIP of the track.

You caught my attention guys

[Spotnick]

Just recorded some sort of really early WIP for Kaepora Gaebora theme. Not really sure what to think of it. Is it any decent? Might think of adding some harmonized melodies for the "chorus" and perhaps some other song to finish it off with. Feedback please :)

http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/17364269/file.html

EDIT: Just acquired the skill to read properly and subsequently realized the vibe might be pretty far off from what this project is looking for.

[therex]

Did someone say poor production skills? :D

Only half joking. I've always wanted to do a chill hip-hop-ish mix of the potion theme.

I'll get a wip to you soonish.

[Theophany]

Sounds good! Sorry guys, been busy with something special. Will post soon...

[Theophany]

EDIT: Just acquired the skill to read properly and subsequently realized the vibe might be pretty far off from what this project is looking for.

I messaged you about this, but I want to say it publicly too.

I would rather people sub a WIP than hold back. So far we've accepted two tracks that might be considered "outside our style" because they were awesome in their own right, and we felt they could still fit nicely in the album flow (which also depends on the tracks we get). We are only going to be picky about certain tracks, like Temples and Battle tracks, for example, because we don't want an entire album of material that sounds predictable or exactly the same. For the tracks we accepted that were somewhat outside our style, we suggested some small changes to the intros to help it fit in the framework of the album, mainly some more acoustic sounds. If you have a suitable intro you can really go any number of directions and it will probably still fit nicely on the album. If you're not sure what to do, we can always make suggestions, but we have to hear your WIP first.

We're always going to be looking to see how your track can fit on the album. The guidelines are meant to encourage people to send in their WIP.

If they're not doing that, I'll probably need to update soon and clarify...

[Spotnick]

Just realized that a duet between CN and Terra for a closing track would be pretty awesome! WE NEED TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN! :)

[keiiii]

Posted a 'hey we're recruiting' thing on deviantart. :)

[champ the hippie]

hey, i'd be happy to lend some vocals, if you still need them...
i'm pretty new to making music and such, but i've been singing publicly for years, and i take orders well. if you're interested, i can link to something. would that be useful in any way???

[Theophany]

Definitely. Things are just getting started. Send us a PM with some links to your work and we'll put you down for collaborations!

[champ the hippie]

just a quick clarification and style question. would it be inappropriate or otherwise unethical to use a song on ocremix to demonstrate my singing? as an actor, i have a natural aversion to auditioning for a play with a song from said play, and i just wanted to see if that unspoken rule applies here...

[Theophany]

Whatever you're comfortable with is fine. Just make sure to represent the style/s of singing you excel at! We'll need a good idea of your style when it comes to matching people up for collaborations...

[champ the hippie]

sounds fabulous, thanks for the clarification. i'll have something for you soon!

Hi everyone!

I have decided to take on the challenge of producing and arranging 'The Legend of Hyrule' :) - I will get to work on the idea and see if you guys think it is claim-worthy :D

[Theophany]

Cool man, let us know when you've got something!

[Yami]

It's funny that still no one wanted the Gerudo Valley. Perhaps because it's overmixed.
I tried out a few things and ended up with a more chillout like version of it, but I'm not sure if this would fit (and right now it's still too near to the source)

[Calum]

sent a wip for house theme :)

[Emunator]

Hey, thanks to everyone who's submitted WIPs. I'm going to get in touch with Theophany and be sure to get a definitive answer back to every one of you by the end of the weekend :-) We really appreciate your patience. Suffice to say my free time isn't what it used to be and I think Theo is in the same boat, but we're trying our best to not let things slip through the cracks.

As for Gerudo Valley, interest HAS been expressed in it but we're still waiting for a WIP to solidify it. I won't reveal the artists working on it, but after hearing their concept in writing, I'm confident that if it's executed properly, it'll do complete justice to the source and really stand out on the project as a highlight. Shouldn't be too much longer before that claim is official, I'm expecting a WIP pretty soon.

[Emunator]

Got some awesome new artists on board, I'm really happy to see some unposted/new remixers showing their talents for the project :-) Welcome to Wiesty, Calum, and Jean of mArc who've all turned in some really killer works in progress so far! Things are still moving, but we still need a lot more people involved so if you've got a good idea, don't be afraid to submit it!

[AJ-enova]

If you still need anyone to do Artwork just let me know.

I could try my hand at making a mess from the Potion Shop theme. I'll throw together a WIP as soon as I get this insane sound library installation done. :-?

Now that I have time to concentrate on music production I might as well make most of it and help out where I can. Glad to be a part of this. :-)

[PixelPanic]

If I have the time to arrange, I might have a Belero/Gerudo Valley WIP in the near future

[Acolyte]

Should have middle boss WIP soon!

[jnWake]

I have an idea for a possible remix of the Legend of Hyrule theme. However, I'm pretty new here and my experience at producing is none.

I'm learning right now so I think I could attempt the song anyway. Otherwise, I am able to provide a MIDI and have someone collaborate. I'm not sure if you're interested...

[bjkmenu]

interesting idea, and a well-written first post. I'm interested but I'm gonna keep my mouth shut until I have finished an "audition". Good luck guys!

[RoeTaKa]

Checked this out about a week ago and was happy to see Bolero of Fire hadn't been taken yet. I may very well audition for it I've had some great ideas for it.

[Emunator]

Sweet guys, I know I'm excited to hear what you all have in store :-) Things are starting to pick up, activity-wise, which makes me very happy. We're slowly advancing toward a more complete tracklist here!

[MangaMan]

Is anyone still looking for vocals and if so would they be interested in a tenor with 10 years choral experience?

On another note, I myself am a project coordinator for the Majora's Mask: Tears of the Moon Musical project. I'm new to this sort of thing, however, and would like some advice on organizing big projects such as these?

Ooooh, an Ocarina of Time AND a Majora's Mask remix project?! Hot darn! is your MM project an OCR album? What's the link to the thread (or website if it isn't an OCR album)? I'd like to follow your progress with the album. :D

More on-topic, I am constantly following the progress of this album, and I am SO excited for this. Thanks to all who will work on this project. ^_^

Do you have some examples of your solo work? Also... this choral experience you speak of... are you still connected to any choirs or singing groups? It would be pretty awesome to organize even a small group of singers for a kind of small choir / folk choir sound at some point on the album (Gregorian chants for Temple of Time for example). It's always possibly to layer things up digitally, but I feel like getting the acoustics and raw energy of people being in the same room (or a Church) would give us stronger results :)

I have some songs on my Youtube page under: "MangaMan Sings"

I do keep in contact with some of my choir friends and could possible organize some of them.

[MtM]

I might have some (Ok, quite a bit of) interest in Ganon's Castle... I heard some ideas as soon as I listened to the source track. That's promising. I'll get back to you once I have some kind of coherent arrangement, but that may take a little while. Exams coming up and all... I just wanted to throw my voice in. :D

Also, my Tindeck stuff is older, I've gotten better I promise. XD

[Emunator]

Hey guys, finals week for me. I haven't had a chance to respond to any PMs or do much of anything this last week, and that won't subside until the end of the week. After that it's summer vacation though, so I expect my free time to ramp up a lot and things will get back on track here. Thanks all for your patience :-)

[djVERTICAI]

So many projects, so many possibilities! I'd like to help out with this one too, if that's still a viable option. I saw nobody was working on the Great Fairy theme, and I've already started on the remix, so let me get in on this goodness!

[Hicky Eighth]

Please let me join! what song i'll take? please indicate one to me. I see. I'll take the shop theme. please register thath song as claimed.

It's generally a good idea to take a minute and read the OP before attempting to join a project.
Auditioning / Claiming
Unless you were specifically invited to remix a particular track by the directors before the project went public, all remixers wishing to claim a track will need to provide a solid work in progress that is approved by both directors (for overall quality and for its cohesiveness with the rest of the album) in order to make a claim on any track.

:wink:

Oh, but that's not a problem. I did read that, actually, and I've already got a tentatively finished product--who should I send it to? Or should I post it here?

[MangaMan]

Too the people working on the Kokiri Forest remix, I was wondering if I could possibly help out with it. I'm the head coordinator for the Tears of the Moon: A Majora's Mask Musical project and I would love to make a connect between the two games, since Majora's Mask is a sequel to Ocarina of Time. I want to try to make the connection that the Skull Kid in this game is the same Skull Kid in Majora's Mask. I don't know what you guys were planning on this song, but if you want a vocalist, I can play the part of the Skull Kid that Link teaches Saria's Song. Even if it is just a short vocal part at the beginning, that would be fine. If your not interested, I understand.

[Dj Mokram]

I've already got a tentatively finished product--who should I send it to? Or should I post it here?
As a general guideline, try to avoid posting work-in-progress publicly, whenever possible.
You should PM either Theophany (http://ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=7553) or Emunator (http://ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=16467) with your wip and the concept for your track.

I agree with all of this. The nuanced differences among unique voices make the charatacter of a choral sound almost impossible to replicate.

I've actually been formulating a concept for a choral mix beginning with Temple of Time chant, then developing into/interweaving with a couple themes from other games in the series.

In any case, not sure what the timeline on this project is, but if there's still a need, I should be around to help this project out come October/November. May have time to arrange/produce a track. Could definitely contribute some vocals. I'm working on getting some better examples of my style and range. What I do have now is this recording I made a couple years ago of a gorgeous Palestrina arrangement for male quartet. Recorder in my apartment, revern added in Audacity for that open-acoustic cathedral feel. The production quality isn't up to stuff, and there are some intonation issues, but I did this in a bit of a rush and could definitely improve on it.

Really nice work. The production aspects can be taken care of. Can you get in touch with us again in October/November?

[Emunator]

Got some new blood on the project here :-) Scaredsim and Harjawaldar are joining on to claim Kakariko Village, and a megacollab between Sixto Sounds, Level 99 and Jeff Ball is forming for Gerudo Valley!

There's some really amazing stuff going on behind the scenes and hopefully it'll continue to pick up the pace. I'll be doing a bit of recruitment for some of the remaining tracks this week, and touching base with those of you who still need to get WIPs in.

I'm very excited about where this project is headed, here's to a lot more productivity in the near future now that summer is upon us!

[Abadoss]

Wouldn't mind some more feedback on my most recent WIP...

[Xarnax42]

Really nice work. The production aspects can be taken care of. Can you get in touch with us again in October/November?

Certainly can. I'm working on finding someplace on base where I can record, but haven't had any luck. Seems the only place you can actually be alone is the chapel, but that's got 8 or so AC units, and I don't think they turn off. Ever.

[Emunator]

Also, to Retnuhytnuob, DJ Mokram, DJ Vertical, DJ Sonic Hicky (holy crap, a lot of DJ's submitting stuff all of a sudden!) we got your songs/PMs and we're still deliberating internally on them, so give us just a little while longer while we come to a consensus. Cheers!

[Chernabogue]

Ah, I need to make an audition for something here before every track get claimed. But 10 days of finals are ahead of me, sigh...

I will be back!

[Hicky Eighth]

please do not take too long, I am very eager to continue working with the Tranquile Shop Marketing (Shop Theme). I'm just waiting to see if you like the sample.;-)

I really hope people like me (and Terra, among others) are able to really help emphasize someone's work. The possibility of contributing to this project, in particular, is very exciting!

[SILVERWOLF]

I'm interested in doing a ragtime-styled solo piano remix for the mini-game theme, if no one else is interested. I don't have any WIP to submit at the moment, but considering I just got out for summer (being a teacher is an order of magnitude more difficult than being a student, btw) I should be able to throw something together in the next month.

First WIP will be some shitty midi sample, but the final product will be mic'd and recorded live on my piano.

Looking forward to contributing to my first OCR project (assuming of course that my WIP gets the green light) :)

[XPRTNovice]

Hi all,

At Emunator's request, I'd like to introduce myself to the group and talk about some opportunities for collaboration.

I've been around this community since about January of this year, at which point I decided to try my hand at remixing. I've since had one piece accepted (Not the Taxi You Whistled For) and took first place in Zircon's FFVI composition with a piece titled Gobble Snarf Snap. You can check out both of them at www.soundcloud.com/xprtnovice - there are some other samples there.

If any of you are looking for: Alto sax, clarinet, piano, acoustic guitar, flute, or vocal percussion, I'm your man. I used to have a Syrian oud, but I've since sold it and am still shopping for a replacement.

I am also, quite uselessly, an excellent whistler. Everyone has their strengths, right?

Right now I'm a little swamped with a host of life issues whose sole purpose seems to be preventing me from doing things I actually enjoy, so I might be a bit slow, but if any of you have something you'd like me to lay something down on I'd be happy to. Emu has me looking at some of the shorter pieces on OOT to go for a remix (Shop, Mini Game, Shooting gallery, and Horse Race), and once my life decides to shut up for a while I plan on tackling it.

Looking forward to being part of the project with you all!

I've since had one piece accepted (Not the Taxi You Whistled For) and took first place in Zircon's FFVI composition with a piece titled Gobble Snarf Snap. You can check out both of them at www.soundcloud.com/xprtnovice - there are some other samples there.

If any of you are looking for: Alto sax, clarinet, piano, acoustic guitar, flute, or vocal percussion, I'm your man. I used to have a Syrian oud, but I've since sold it and am still shopping for a replacement.

I am also, quite uselessly, an excellent whistler. Everyone has their strengths, right?

Right now I'm a little swamped with a host of life issues whose sole purpose seems to be preventing me from doing things I actually enjoy, so I might be a bit slow, but if any of you have something you'd like me to lay something down on I'd be happy to. Emu has me looking at some of the shorter pieces on OOT to go for a remix (Shop, Mini Game, Shooting gallery, and Horse Race), and once my life decides to shut up for a while I plan on tackling it.

Looking forward to being part of the project with you all!
Joe

Vocal percussion? As in beat-boxing? That's awesome! Welcome!

Yes, beat-boxing :) I don't have the right equipment at the moment to really do it well (I've been hunting or a bargain on an Audix i-5 for a while) but I have some samples of earlier work. I can throw them on soundcloud.

Hey! Yes, we have had some art developments. We don't want to release anything just yet, but a few artists have joined the project and keiiii has already developed some really cool pieces. So far everything is looking awesome.
Oh, good! Part of the reason I ask is I would love to do a piece (preferably before the craziness of the semester begins again), but I wasn't sure what pieces have already been done. Any idea on that?

[Theophany]

Awesome, that would be cool. The work on your deviantart looks pretty solid! keiiii is art directing for the project, so send her a message with a link to your work and let her know what material you're interested covering. Off the top of my head I know we already have claims on Temple of Time, Water Temple, Hyrule Field, and a couple others, but I would say the project is mostly open right in terms of art.

[IanFitC]

I'd love to have a part on this project, but I'm going to need some time to get something together because I've been working on the FF2 and FF9 projects and need to get what work I need to do done for them first.

I'm particularly interested in the Shooting Gallery theme - I can hear some really weird metal/folk stuff in my head. I can PM samples of my other work so far, and send a WIP once I get the ball rolling.

The album sounds like it'll be great fun!

[Chernabogue]

I may have not the time to concentrate on a full mix at the moment (be sure I'd love to tackle one theme!), but I offer my services (orchestra and drum programming) to artists that need help. :wink:

That sounds like an awesome, unexpected twist that could be really fun if pulled off with the right amount of finesse. Color me interested, let me know when you've got a WIP :-D

[urdailywater]

edit: Ok, i'm editing this out. I was expressing interest for a particular song, but after messing around with the genre, my samples just aren't going to cut it. If you still need somebody later down the road feel free to message me though you'll probably get a lot interest before then anyways.

[jnWake]

Some time ago I expressed interest in the Legend of Hyrule track. Since I'm not sure if the "**interest expressed" mark in the track is mine or somebody's else, I wanted to say that I'm "dropping my interest" for now. I can't come up with an idea that pleases me...

However, I DO want to express interest on Nocturne of Shadow. I wrote an arrangement already, just need to sequence it and I'll get in touch with the project coordinators!

[Theophany]

@jnWake Please do...

@urdailywater, it's up to you, but we're always open to hearing your arrangement concept. If the arrangement is really solid and I feel like it would work well on the album I would be open to producing the track for you (with your permission of course). But again, it's up to you, and the arrangement does need to be solid.

[Xarnax42]

Really nice work. The production aspects can be taken care of. Can you get in touch with us again in October/November?

I'm home!

If anyone is looking for a vocalist, I'd be happy to contribute. Here again is a link to the choral piece I posted before, recorded a couple years ago: http://soundcloud.com/xarnax42/o-domine-jesu-christi

More recently, I sang on Calum's entry for zircon's Final Fantasy 6 contest, which was more of a bossa nova style: http://tindeck.com/listen/hsvm

[Dudebob]

Theophany,
Just putting it out there that I messaged you on your profile page. I am wondering if you have a spot open for mastering in this project.

Here's a sample: http://www.mediafire.com/?3ebayz73n89bv8k

I just put together a MIDI track and mastered it as a demo.

I can always master it differently though.

If you want me to make you a demo of a track that you want to hear mastered I can do that too.
I look forward to a reply.
Thanks!!!

i...just wanted to make sure i hadn't dropped off your radar :tomatoface:

i'm still very much interested in contributing my voice to this project, and i recall there being a want to be able to perform live, a feat i am most certainly capable of.

sorry if this is out of place or obnoxious, but i'd very much like to contribute to this :)

[Theory of N]

I would just like to offer my services as a performer on Alto or Soprano Saxophone.

No need to be sorry, to be honest I am going to need reminders as the project goes on because there's a lot to keep track of. Although we've been a bit quiet in the thread it's mostly because we've been hard at work on the project. So far we have a team of around 10 remixers all working on tracks at various stages of completion. While we have lots of vocals planned and tons of potential for more as the project progresses and evolves, none of the tracks are ready for performers just yet because we're focusing on the concepts and arrangements. Our approach is a little more time consuming but the WIPS for our existing tracks on the album are already sounding amazing. We've also have some stunning art concepts and near-finished paintings thanks to Keiiiii, who is running art direction and working with artists. I am trying to keep our efforts focused on the first disc in hope of releasing some kind of preview or promo for you guys in 2013.

@Theory of N, awesome, thank you!

@Dudebob, thanks, I've responded on your wall :)

no worries! i look forward to when i can start contributing, and it's good to hear that things are moving along. is there anywhere we can hear wip's? no pressure if there's not, you've already got plenty on your plate

As a general rule, not unless you're working directly working on a track for the project. Like other projects on OCR we don't want material leaking out before it's ready to be previewed or mastered for the release. We may share other wips from the tracklist with a performer once they're directly involved for additional collaboration and feedback, but we haven't decided exactly how that aspect of the project is going to work just yet.

makes sense to me. just didn't wanna get left behind :)

[KentaKurodani]

This all looks great! can't wait to hear it. I would help, but as of yet, I have no useful a
skills to offer.

[Phonetic Hero]

Might not be able to get anything substantial for a little while, but I want Ganondorf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKjEwQeGAEU&list=PL8D1E4637261C45EF&index=75&feature=plpp_video). Just wanted to get in before anyone else puts they're grubby paws on it

Also, it's been said a gazillion times before, but not without good cause; grats on the release, Theo

[timaeus222]

chimpazilla's actually had her eyes on that, but is having some trouble getting further ideas on her WIP. :|

[darkbrandflake11]

Hey Theophany I have sent you an audition. Please let me know what you think of it.

[Chimpazilla]

chimpazilla's actually had her eyes on that, but is having some trouble getting further ideas on her WIP. :|

Haha, thanks T! Yeah I've got about 2:30 of a wip on that battle theme, in an Indian "Bhangra" style. I'm not sure it's right for the album though. I'm handing it off to another friend to get more expansion ideas, so we will collab it and probably sub it outside of the project.

After the success of Theo's Majora's Mask album, Theo and Emu are going to be even more selective about what styles they want for the OoT album, so I recommend contacting one of them with any ideas and/or audition wips you may have.

Alrighty, probably for the better for me right now anyway... Like I said, I won't be able to get much done for a while, got the GMRB to finish up and a load of other albums to stop procrastinating on :P Though if you're feeling like you want to collaborate with someone and want to send it my way, feel free

[G-Mixer]

I almost want to claim "Legend of Hyrule", but I seriously feel unworthy of doing so. xD To do orchestral stuff will most certainly require my collaborating with someone else that has really good orchestra stuff. I've got Logic and the orchestra instruments sound pretty real, but they are limited to only being played note by note or chord by chord. They can't do arpeggios or anything related to that.

[Theophany]

Hey guys, sorry for being MIA for so long. Emunator and I are thinking we need to overhaul the first post a bit and figure out a less confusing approach to managing submissions and claims. We've had lots of good submissions but also some difficulty, so we're going to be looking at ways to simplify things and streamline our audition process. In the meantime I'll be working on tracks and getting back in touch with everyone on the project so far. If anyone sent me a wip and I didn't get back to you, please send it again! Sorry to ask but I'm not very organized and I lose track of things pretty easily.

[Chernabogue]

Are you still looking for Intermission mixes? I have a very strong and interesting concept in mind I'd like to develop soon.

[Argle]

I got a bit of a start on Requiem of Spirit. Too many WIPs in the works. :x I wish I didn't have to waste 8 hours a day sleeping. If someone else has already gotten it I understand. I think I'll continue this one regardless.

[Emunator]

At this point I'd suggest that anyone who's interested in contributing to the project hold off for a little bit until me and Theophany have had a chance to regroup, unless you're okay with your track potentially not being used for the album. We're in the middle of trying to really figure out what sound we're looking for the album and our approach to the project in general, so I would personally suggest just holding off on submitting or developing any WIPs until we sort a few things out internally.

This goes for artists currently on the project, as well!

Thanks for your patience :-)

[Deesio]

Hello, Before I start, apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I'm a fresh newcomer to this forum, though I've been a long-time visitor to the website. I have no musical skill per-se but I'm an illustrator and graphic designer with experience of working with well known and established musicians and record labels. I was wondering if you'd be interested in allowing me to get involved with this project as a visual artist? I'm a huge game (and VGM) fan, and would be really pleased with your consideration.
If you want to see examples of my work, check my portfolio at www. owencreativestudios. com (remove spaces). I've done flyers for artists and labels such as LTJ Bukem & Hospital records amongst others, but actual illustration and art are my bigger passion. I'd ask for nothing in return, but a credit, obviously. Let me know what you think. I'd love to be involved!

[CN]

I'm still very much here and singing a lot, by the way!
In fact, since whenever my last post was, I've made some very significant progress and I'm more confident than ever that I can be an asset to this project...as well as wherever that Majora's Mask one ran off to.

I didn't run off. Still here and looking for singers and remixers.

Theophany and Emunator are in charge of the project, though I would check with keiiii, either on here or on her deviantART (www.keiiii.deviantart.com), since she's the art director. :D

[G-Mixer]

Ok so I've already got like 3 or 4 other remix projects I'm currently working on, but uh... heck yes I'll do this.

Can I claim something? You can hear some of my stuff in my Soundcloud link. I am much more electronic but I can get in orchestral stuff. I won't be able to send in anything for at the least the next 2-3 weeks though.

Not sure if I read through the guidelines hard enough. If I screwed something up here, then oops. :D

[Jorgonian]

I would be interested in working something on this! I am running Ableton, I can definitely get a remix down.
Here's a link to my soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/zenospaceman

[Base Desire]

I am going to maybe start working on a WIP for Requiem of Spirit, I know you said to hold off, but I will probably do it anyways, even if it is rejected by the album, so what have I got to lose?

My work: www.soundcloud.com/basedesire

Generally electronic, but looking forward to experimenting with more new age / electronic-orchestra blends/fusions.

Thanks! I just checked out your OCR artist profile, you music is so good. I am very excited about someday getting a remix on OCR. I just started VG remixing. Right now working on something from Chrono Cross.

[Chimpazilla]

Guys, I would hold of on doing anything serious on this project until Emu or Theo dive in here and give us an update on things. I know they are in the process of making some changes. At the very least, ping one of them before spending too much time on something!

I'd love to be in this album as well, if possible. My soundcloud in sig below.

Yeah, I figured things were being revamped. I'll mostly be listening to the other wips then, but I ain't laying a finger on my track again for a long while (I've mostly been making adjustments based on everybody else's overall sound anyways; so I don't want to step too far out in another direction and when everybody starts working again my track ends up like "whaaaaaaat is this doing in here?").

[Portanexus]

Hey dudes. If it's not too late I'll happily jump on this. I'm gonna assume Song of Storms has already been taken, but if it hasn't I'm more than happy to be the filler! :D

PLEASE EVERYONE HOLD OFF ON THIS PROJECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Yeah, I tried to change the title of the thread to something less misleading, but I don't have authority to do so :-( Sorry for the confusion guys, please hold off on submitting/creating anything particularly for the project until further notice!
