Nice, didn't know you guys were gonna try to follow through with the collab idea so quickly. Nice to see you guys goin through with it, def an excellent idea as long as they right people come along. Waiting to see what tha Prophet has come up with.

As a joke maybe djp should get to do the "Far Promise" track and then flood the pm boxes of all those mixers who submitted the 9 "far promise" mixes in 2001 as an ironic twist of fate.

We'd been planning the project itself for awhile; I only got the idea for the collab project shortly before I posted it in the xenogears project thread. Ran the idea past Brad and he liked it, so we decided to go with it.

[Dhsu]

So many projects. ;_;

I dunno about the collab concept...due to the way I record my piano MIDIs, it might be difficult to work with someone else, unless they also play a live instrument (such as my collab with Anthony Lofton for the upcoming Tales project). The other ideal scenario is if somebody is good at piano arrangements but unsatisfied with their performance skills, in which case I'll perform their work (e.g. Blak_Omen's "Waltz of Pain").

Anyway, I'm interested in "Under the Moonlight" and "Portal to Open Ground." If any of the unposted remixers have any good ideas for either of those and are interested in a collab, by all means post 'em up. :)

[Antipode]

This sounds like my cuppa tea.

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to kick myself into gear, because I have to finish my "Transport" album and do a track for another project, but if I can manage that then I'll be in for sure.

this is the idea, dhsu. there are a significant amount of good performance and arrangement talent that we've invited, so hopefully you can find a person to work with. if you can't, that's fine - more meat for me =)

i'll post more about the details of the project later today - it's 4am, and i just started my work shift (unfortunately). i'll be back in ten hours or so.

[ktriton]

I'm going to be honest: I don't really have time for another project :(

But...it's Mitsuda, so I can't NOT be involved :)

I really want to contribute like two tracks to this thing, but I doubt I'll be able to contribute more than one.

And, yes I'm taking David up on his challenge to do whichever song he picked for me.

If anybody has any good ideas for it shoot me an email. I won't be able to really work on it until at LEAST September.

-k

[Rexy]

I actually seem interested in this, although I am currently without a decent work setup for six weeks.

Dhsu, I see your problems with the whole collab thing. It could work out if you could find a renderer like GrayLightning did to some of your prior tracks, or as you said a dual instrument thing. I know it got hard concerning what happened with the Tales project, but trust me, something will come of it.

Whichever happens, I'm game for this. I really love the Radical Dreamers music, being one of the most beautiful scores I ended up coming across in quite a while (and yes, I'm aware some tracks were used in Chrono Cross but original comes first :P).

Hellz yeah!

That's about all I have to say that's relevant at this point. :lol:

Great, now you've just made me think of a male silhouette with a giant red nose. :lol:

[Antisheep]

Wow, I'm honored to have been invited to participate in this! I feel my particular strengths are:*Creating new / original chord progressions, which I feel can help separate remixes from their source track. (However original a chord progression can get. =P )

*Guitar/bass guitar (I can do live recording and play in multiple styles.)

*I'm the most comfortable with rock music, so if anyone's interested in making a rock mix...Of course, I'm up for trying anything. =)

[Blake]

I absolutely love Yasunori Mitsuda and would like to accept invite.

[ellywu2]

Hey there, i recieved an e-mail and i'd be happy to take part :)

RADICAL DREAMERS PROJECT
speaking of tracks -
TRACKLIST
See first post.

as you can see, the rexy/dar collab, sirrus/sephfire, sleepy emp, and ellywu2 are not on the project officially because they never updated. if they want to, they can get back in - till then, we're not listing them.

we're moving along well! we're ALMOST DONE!

We're planning on a release at magfest, barring anything unforseen. we'll open and post the website after the 'concert' release party thing.

OA (www.oceansend.com) has offered to host, do the website, and has done a bunch of songs too =) He's already set up a forum off of his site (get the link from me, project mixers) and so we're using that for posting WIPs and the link. Bongo Bill offered to mirror for us.

We've got a forum where we're posting the WIPs and all that - if you've got a WIP and need to post it, pm a project member. They'll hook you up.

That all said, thank you for being interested/participating, and this has really turned out to be a fantastic project with some incredible mixes on it. props to all the mixers on this project that have done such great work.

see you all in january!

2. It is finished in a remotely short amount of time. Lets face it - most projects nowadays last at least 6-10 months. They shouldn't. They do because mixers sit on their lazy asses and never finish anything. I am well aware you're busy - I'm taking 20 credits this fall, working full-time, mixing for a movie and a game, and I have a girlfriend - but that's why we're giving you three months or so to do your track. We'll set a WIP deadline after school starts back up, but after that if your WIP isn't on time and you don't tell me why, I'll cut you from the project.

I like you.

I finish my project tunes fairly quickly, then spend ages touching them up, then overtouch them, then child services arrest me, and by the time i get out of jail I need to restart the mix cos Iv improved and have different ideas.

Listning to the soundtrack and LOVING it, great choice for a project. I'm REALLY wanting to do mix but my net access is sparadic and limited so the collab idea would probably screw me over. I'm still thinking of doing a mix of this though, its almost a crime not to... (/me glances at 'Days Of Summer')

Actually whats the criteria for the collab? How much has to be done together etc? Cos I'm have alot of ideas, but need help on drums and production...

[Geoffrey Taucer]

As I have (I think) mentioned to some of you already, I think we may end up having to allow multiple arrangements of some songs, since it's such a short soundtrack.

EDIT: also, I'm still not entirely sure I want to redo Canvas; It's a really great source, and I think a lot could be done with it that we didn't do in Canvas due to blending it with Relm's theme.

[ktriton]

Right, so I'm doing "Final Confrontation". But like I said, while I definitely want to contribute to this project, I'd be happy to take the backseat on this one.

So if any newb is interested in trying his or her hand at composition, you have pretty much a month to shoot me an idea. If I like it, I'll go with it and involve you in it. If I don't get any ideas I'll just go ahead and make my own arrangement.

-k

[Bongo Bill]

When this takes off, I'll be a mirror.

[sephfire]

SirRus and I are in. We're still picking a track though. :)

[Dhsu]

Me and LAOS are thinking of doing an acoustic piano/guitar duet. So in that case, "Day of Summer" would be the most likely candidate. That's not to say it's final though, since I still like "Portal" quite a bit.

[Rexy]

I don't know whether to end up picking The Girl who Stole the Star or Frozen Flame (the latter which I ended up remixing before (http://rexy.vgpiano.com/music/Chrono_Cross_Where_Force_Stood_Still.mp3)). Whichever happens, if there's anyone who is interested in working with me (in fact I have no idea what group I'm in in spite of having two OC Remixes), drop me a PM ;)

[Arek the Absolute]

omg taucer you are killing me takin my smrpg remixers aaaaaaaaaaaaah
no its cool gl homie g im here if you need any help with anything or wudeva

i wasn't planning on remixing 'canvas' as just using the style/vibe and doing the last track on the album.

[Fishy]

You see this?

This is my guitar.
I offer it's sounds to your humbled project.

[Blake]

Wtb [Days of Summer] for ReMix.

[ellywu2]

So i've listened to the whole soundtrack now, and i'm leaning towards Days of Summer or Strange Presentiment (even though i think that is just a small variation on a theme) . I'll let others jump in and decide first :)

[OA]

I can do sig/site art and host a site once you get to that point.

[DragonAvenger]

I'll off myself up for vocals if anyone's interested.

I have a mix of Dream of a Shore as done with Retlaf. It was based off of Chrono Cross, but I don't know if the lyrics or anything might be applicable, I'll offer them up though. The mix is down in my sig (Hallucination of Another World).

Also, because I'm nowhere near my mp3 player, I forget if this soundtrack has the theme used in Radical Dreamers (Chrono Cross). If so, I wrote a version of the lyrics in english that fits the melody, again up for use.

[Chavous]

If you are going to have the vets collab on the final track, why not have the n00bs collab on the first track (with a little guidance...if needed)?

I'll think about joining too...I just have to listen to the sources first to see if any particualr one jumps out at me.

Edit:
:dstrbd: Nobody took Star Stealing Girl?!?! I'll do something for that yet!

[Rexy]

Like I said, I'm contemplating between that and Frozen Flame. But nonetheless, if you want to take it with a different collab partner, that'll be fine :)

[V___]

Awesome idea.

I still have no idea how we define 'n00b' and 'vet'....

Started 'Days of Summer', is coming on decently so far... Who here uses Reason?

[-RK-]

I totally want The Girl who Stole the Star. Please. :lol:

A Vet should totally get on that with me.

EDIT: I forgot to ask a few questions I have. First, seeing as the Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross soundtracks are so similar, I was thinking having like a second "bonus" album or just bonus tracks of songs only in Chrono Cross would make fans happy. I dunno, just an idea.

And second, what's the story on medleys? Are you completely counting them out, or what?

[Chavous]

I still have no idea how we define 'n00b' and 'vet'....

I would assume vet = someone with a song on OCR (not a feature, a personal arrangement) and a n00b = the opposite of a vet.

And -RK-...I'll think about giving it up if I can find another song that gives me ideas....I want to do a semi-acoustic song so bad. :lol:

Edit: This guy reuses so many melodies/progressions...

Edit2: Alright, I may to do a rendition of "Facing".

Yer Liek a vet er somethin right?

Collab?

[Sixto]

Okay, I'm in for whatever.

[Darangen]

I like peas..

But yeah, I guess I'm in for this. Cursed music, so freakin' good.

I already kinda started a collab with Rexy on Distant Promise, not sure if she wants to do that for this project or for something else.

Either way, it's ok. I like girls.

[DrumUltimA]

I think i really want day of summer but i won't be an ass about it

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Let's collab, doug.

EDIT: actually, I'm already collabing with Ross on Star-Stealing Girl; I don't want to steal all the good tracks from the other vets, so if anybody other vets want to collab on this with DrumUltimA, I have no objections.

[DrumUltimA]

lol ima start sketching stuff out now i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna do this :D

[DrumUltimA]

HERE IS A SKETCH

http://drumultima.googlepages.com/raddream.mp3

if you hate it or have something better, feel free to kick me off of this. If you want to join in, I guess join? GT and Prophet, if I'm being an ass tell me and I'll delete this lol


edit: wait I just read that V has already started days of summer so oops :[

:lol:

Well yes, it's true that we were working on that, though it was for the Dwelling of Duels. But now that our cover's been blown, then... ohok.

I can't classify myself as a "vet" given I've had more rejections from the panel than passes, but I'll still be ok to keep Distant Promises going for project purposes.

That's unless Geoff/Prophet thinks this is a bridge too far, but we'll see what happens o.O

Haha! Damn, I've wanted to do a mix of this with lyrics forever, and I really like the direction you're going with this.

However, please don't publicly post anymore WIPs.

[Dhsu]

edit: wait I just read that everyone and their mother has already started days of summer so oops :[
Fixed.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I guess we still need to wait for confirmation from Brad on this, but I have no problem whatsoever with multiple covers of the same track, and I especially like Doug's take on it.

[DrumUltimA]

hey guys I have an artist friend who is interested in doing art. Those of you at the bmore meetup (if any of you o.O) probably met him.

he can't post now but I told him to post sometime soon.

http://vremedyz.deviantart.com

YES

[the prophet of mephisto]

alright. it took me way too long to get caught up on all this crap.

first off, i've got no problem with RK and Taucer working on GWSTS. i've got a lot of faith in both mixers to make something awesome (as usual). don't forget that darangen/rexy (go for it, you two!) are also doing that theme. you're going to have to make sure your arrangement is sufficiently different from theirs to make it fit into the project...but you will, i'm sure. whistle power, activate.

fishy's in for guitar, dragonavenger's in for vocals (you're a girl, right?), and drumultimaaaaaaa is in for drums (however, he doesn't play tablas. what use is he?)

prometheus has asked to do snakebone manor with me, and i'm inclined to accept. however, i don't want to take tracks from others, so as of right now that's all i'll do is the two tracks i'm in right now.

sixto's in. werd. he's a shredder who solos exceptionally well on electric guitar. and gets run over by forklifts. somehow. he also owes us over at LAProject a track =)

ellywu2 wants either Days of Summer or Strange Presentiment. i say he can pick either - i love his music. i'd prefer he picks strange presentiment, however - its a minimal amount of sourcetune, and i would trust his arrangement abilities over that of someone with less proven (20 or so mixes on vgmix) talent. i feel it'd sound good with bigbeat stuff too, which is what i love the most about ellywu2's music.

OA has offered to do art eventually (samples, please!) and host a site, and Bongo Bill will mirror eventually. There's some kid who's decent from deviantart, too - i liked his stuff too. i guess we've got a bit of a competition for artwork, too!

chavous is looking at 'facing'. any progress on that? should i sign you up for it?

drumultima wants to do an acoustic version of Days of Summer with someone. any takers? maybe blizihizake, who's looking at it too, would help you out.

V wants to do Days of Summer as well. i use reason - pm me if you've got a question, man. assuming you're using reason 2.5, i can do your production/drums through rewire in fl6. since fl6 is so much better at production than reason 2.5.

dhsu and LAOS are also looking at Days of Summer. that's four people looking at it. anyone want to look elsewhere for ideas? the second half of the soundtrack still needs help. Maybe, you two, you could look at Epilogue as well - there's a lot of creativity that could happen on that track.

i'll say this flat out - i don't want four mixes of the same track. that's too repetitive, and it'll end up being too much. if i had my way, i'd give it to drumultima (loved his wip) and blizihizake (if they work together, that'd be even better). v, i'd rather you looked at other songs - how about 2/17? i'm not telling you to kill your wip, though - i just don't want a ton of mixes of DOS. i'd like to make it only two mixes of this particular tune, if possible. it depends on who works with who, of course.

as for the final song, i was thinking about working with me (sax, vocals), taucer (whistle, acoustic), drumultima (duh), dhsu (keys), darangen or sixto (electric), and possibly somebody for bass. else i'll record it. what do you think? once i have feedback, i'll start working on the arrangement.

something i was thinking about is a dual cd release - but, have it be that each cd has the complete tracklisting of the original soundtrack - meaning, two sets of the entire soundtrack, remixed. that's a possible way of handling popular themes. that'd only really give us 3-4 remixes of the distant promise track, and two of the days of summer track. what do you say? it'd give dhsu and LAOS another possible candidate for their duet (namely, ending).

ktriton wants arrangement ideas sometime soon for 'Final Confrontation'.

still need updates from ubernym, antisheep, sirrus/sephfire, antipode, and that's about it. everyone who's said they want to work on a track, give me a definate, whether via email or pm, as to what you're working on and we'll go from there. i don't want tracks going uncovered because there's ten remixes of two songs, though - if something's open, please look at that before you sign up for the ninth remix of 'distant shore'. please. i don't want to release this with good tracks from the soundtrack untouched. you also aren't officially part of the project until you've responded with a song to be signed up on. i will say that i'd love to hear what antisheep is able to do with 'epilogue', if Dhsu and LAOS don't want it.

i'll update the original post as soon as this goes through.

[Antisheep]

Wow! Don't post for 2 days and all the songs are taken. ^_^
i will say that i'd love to hear what antisheep is able to do with 'epilogue', if Dhsu and LAOS don't want it.Yeah, count me in. Should I just start making concepts and then see if any 'vets' want to jump onboard afterward? Or does anyone have an interest in tackling it with me? I'd really like to do some guitar work for whatever mix I do.

Edit: After listening to the Epilogue track a bit more, I really think I want to do something with a latin feel. So if someone's particularly thinking in that direction, PM me or something. =)

naah, too many people are going for the track (all tracks), plus theres a nice WiP floating around here now. I'l back away and wait to see if a track needs filling in the future... or i could go try save the Links project.... or the Dodgeball (tried that, failed)

[Geoffrey Taucer]

i'll say this flat out - i don't want four mixes of the same track. that's too repetitive, and it'll end up being too much.

Hehe, actually, it'd be pretty funny to have another one-song flood for Radical Dreamers, especially since it's basically an alternate arrangement of the same song as the original flood.

[DragonAvenger]

dragonavenger's in for vocals (you're a girl, right?)

Yes, I'm a girl.

I should probably just link here to the finished version of Dream Shore that I have (more of a cover than a mix, and for Chrono Cross really). You can here it here. (http://darlantandragonavenger.googlepages.com/Hallucination_of_Another_World.mp3)

[ILLiterate]

Yahar, great interest in Dream Shore (3), I'll try and get some kind of WIP done soon (school started BOO)

[-RK-]

Taucer, I just came up with something...

IM me if you see this. :)

EDIT: Oh, and I was just thinking that a fourm where we could post project WIPS would be a cool thing. One that is all password protected and shit.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

(you're a girl, right?)

Yes, I'm a girl.


Hawt.

[Rexy]

darangen/rexy (go for it, you two!)
That answers our question, Mike :) Thanks for the clarification Proph.

[Dhsu]

Oh, I thought we were gonna have exclusively vet/newb pairings? Hmmm, this might change things...

[OA]

For samples of my work, just click my link for my website or my little banner at the bottom. :D

[the prophet of mephisto]

that was a long post, before.

antisheep has taken epilogue, and is looking for a vet to help him. think latin feel.

V gave up his claim on Days of Summer, so now we're down to three or four people who want that (drumultima, blizihizake, dhsu and laos, and maybe ellywu2)

OA's site is www.oceansend.com. there's some really nice artwork there. check it out.

EazyP is looking at Epilogue - Dream Shore (3), so that'd be the second remix of the song. looking forward to a track of that.

OA is currently setting up a forum to work off of. i'll be pm-ing the address to everyone, as i don't want passersby getting in. it'll also be password protected completely, and hopefully will include an attachment feature to posts to help with uploading WIPs and stuff. i'll update you when i have more information.

that seems to be the most of the updates as of late.

now, with all of that said, i'd like to point out something. we've still got a few songs that are unclaimed, and i don't know why. Gale (2/17) is really a fantastic battle theme that'd benefit from a great guitar mixer (fishy or sixto?) or a great electronica mixer (read: TRANCE). also, Frozen Flame (10/17) which Rexy was looking at, is still open. That's another great track that'd benefit from any attention. i wouldn't mind the sephfire/sirrus combo doing one of those two - preferably Frozen Flame.

[Fishy]

Due to being asked to, i'm gonna have a stab at Gale. I thought it might be quite cool to collab on it with sixto though on reflection, we could have a guitar duel or something, that would be awesome. How does that sound?

SirRus and I would love to take Frozen Flame if that's ok.

[DrumUltimA]

I'm in Ocean City right now, I won't be back to my computer until the 23rd. However, I've been brainstorming a lot. My idea for that mix could really benefit from some acoutic guitar. However, if Dhsu and Laos really want it, would it be unreasonable to have a 4 way collab? If they come up with something better than what I'm doing I'll understand, I could probably take something else. blizihizake, I don't know much about you. Talk to me :D

I'd say just go ahead...Epilogue is a little ambient for me.

[the prophet of mephisto]

oa's got the forums up. i'm editing them now and i'll have something for you all some time friday, i believe. probably closer to nighttime (EST, that is).

dhsu, are you still doing 'portal to open grounds'?

and what's happening with drumultima's track? are you going to do some megacollab, or are you going to work with taucer, or what? just so i can update everything to reflect that.

rofl prophet i don't know what's happening with my track!!!! whoever wants to be involved can be involved, it's fine by me lol. All I know is that I could use live acoustic guitar

[Chavous]

Yes Proph - I have ideas I'm still working out in my head, before I get started on it, but I really haven't had any time to think straight lately, so I'll see if I can get cracking tonight.

Wow, this is coming along well. :D

dhsu, are you still doing 'portal to open grounds'?
For now, yes. If I can't think of anything or suddenly come up with a great idea for a different track, I'll let you know.

[DrumUltimA]

I've talked to both Dhsu and LAOS, and both are welcome to join me as far as I can tell. LAOS sounded pretty enthusiastic about working with me, so Dhsu let me know for sure if you wanna jump in. Are you gonna work on Portal anyway?

[the prophet of mephisto]

ocr's hosting is bad.

looking forward to the threeway collab that's become a reality.

post on the forums! if you haven't found it, pm me and i'll give you the link.

[DrumUltimA]

i think this project is going well :D

[the prophet of mephisto]

i was just saying that to taucer.

get back to work! and post on the forums!

[DrumUltimA]

i was just saying that to taucer.

get back to work! and post on the forums!

brarraararar i'll post on forums but I'm not at my computer yet :[ :[ :[

[ubernym]

I hope I'm not too late. I don't have a track to pick yet, but if anyone would like me to collab with them....

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump. i haven't seen many WIPs yet - get to work!

mine should be up by today or tomorrow. i just recorded all ten saxophone parts (bwahaha) and i'll be attempting to mash it together into something recognizable tonight.

[the prophet of mephisto]

omg double post

i've posted a wip on the forums. rk and taucer's wip is up there, along with drumultima's wip, fishy's wip, and ellywu2's awesome sexy :wink: wip.

get in there, and start posting wips/comments!

[Dhsu]

I've talked to both Dhsu and LAOS, and both are welcome to join me as far as I can tell. LAOS sounded pretty enthusiastic about working with me, so Dhsu let me know for sure if you wanna jump in. Are you gonna work on Portal anyway?
Collab sounds good. As for Portal, I think I'll leave that for someone else to pick up for now. If it still hasn't been claimed near the end of the project, I'll probably whip up a solo arrangement real quick.

[John Revoredo]

uh... Hi.
Has the project another forums or something alike?

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump

[DrumUltimA]

haven't had a chance to work much on my wip since school :[ hopefully I can get back on it tho

[Chavous]

Wait, so where do we post WIPs now?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

The project forum.

Ask me or the prophet for the address next time you catch one of us on AIM or MSN.

[Sleepy Emp]

Interesting project. Eagerly awaiting to see the result.

[the prophet of mephisto]

damn, i thought you were gonna ask to do something for this.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Go bump yourself.

[the prophet of mephisto]

first of all, everyone who's on this project needs to register at the forum. talk to anyone who's there already - RK, me, taucer, drumultima, sixto, oa, etc - and get the link.

there's been some progress, so far, which is good. i've got my first song almost done, and another one which is still in basic WIP form but is looking good. we've got five other wips on the forums, and all of them are pretty decent. however, many of them haven't been updated in almost a week or two - i'd appreciate some progress on that front. there really is some great stuff so far (nice stuff, ellywu2) but there's still a lot of people who haven't posted wips.

prometheus's wip for snakebone mansion (involving me on sax) will be on the forums sometime soon.

i still need to hear WIPs from blizihizake, the sephfire/sirrus combo, antisheep, ktriton (i know you're bogged down right now, i'm just doing this for fyi), darangen/rexy, something substantial from fishy/sixto, eazyp...and i think that's about it. wips are nice, people, let's get going!

ubernym needs to decide what he's doing on this project, still.

at some point in the next week or two, i'll post on the forums an idea for the final collab song. after everyone's heard that, we'll go from there - if it needs more work, that's fine, else we can just start recording from there. I'm planning on doing something with Dhsu or Rexy on piano, Taucer on acoustic guitar, Fishy or Sixto or Antisheep on electric guitar, DrumUltima on drums, Me or Antisheep on bass (i don't particularly want to do bass), and me on saxophone.

[Fishy]

something substantial from fishy/sixto

Lemme just find a better set of heavy drums from somewhere. I'll ask my mate whos got like 10gigs worth of refills. Then i can really start it.

Fishy or Sixto or Antisheep on electric guitar

Why not all three? (I'm a sucker for them guitar battles :))

[Antisheep]

Fishy or Sixto or Antisheep on electric guitar
Why not all three? (I'm a sucker for them guitar battles :))
I love you. O_O

[Fishy]

Those damn Black Mages have had a profound effect on me. Guitar battle this, ridiculous whammy bar noises that, unnecesserily distort those.

All in good taste obviously...

umm...hook me up? please?

[Rexy]

I tell you what, for the big collab at the end, if you would prefer to have dhsu on the keys, will it be ok if I still contribute with a recorder or something?

[Fishy]

no.

rexy, that's fine. assuming dhsu wants to do it =)

[Fishy]

I submit actual WIP, lookies.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump. we're still waiting on several wips - get to work, mixers!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I bumped your mom last night.

[the prophet of mephisto]

FIRST WIP DEADLINE - October 14th

thats right, this is the first deadline of the project. your first wips - even just an idea that's scratched out - need to be in the project forum, on a reliable filehost, by october 14th. if there's a problem getting them in by then, please email or pm me immediately. i'm considering all mixers who don't have a good wip in by then off the project.

taucer, could you please update the title of the thread?

[Jaroban]

Hey--

I've done some work on this soundtrack before (see my only ocremix) and I'd like to help in some small capacity. I can play bass and write/arrange/sequence. I don't have a huge amount of time but I could do a small collab or something.

Let me know if you have any use for me.

J

[the prophet of mephisto]

i'm assuming someone will drop out by the deadline (or because of it). assuming that happens, we'll see.

nice guitar...and especially the sax programming. fantastic work. there's a place for you if we get a dropout (provided you don't use those brass samples).

[antacid03]

Can't wait for this to become official. I wish all remixers the best of luck.

[the prophet of mephisto]

this is a bump. two days and counting till the first deadline!

remember, if you don't have a good excuse for not posting a wip of some kind, you've got a good chance of being off the project.

[Dhsu]

Shoot, I was going to do something this weekend, but my homework caught up with me really fast. Although, I actually haven't heard anything about any parts people want me to perform or anything.

I guess I wouldn't mind too much if I'm dropped though...looks like you guys have this thing covered pretty well.

[Rexy]

I spoke with Darangen not too long ago, and it seemed as if he seemed to forget about the track. I hope he seems to find time somewhere :?

[the prophet of mephisto]

i'm hoping you can motivate him to keep working, rexy. i'd appreciate it.

dhsu, if you want to do something for the solo track you're signed up for, by all means do it. i love your work. i thought that you had gotten SOMETHING from DrumUltimA, but i guess not. i'll freak out on him later today, hopefully.

that said!
unless i've heard from them in the next 24 hours, these people are officially off the project.
Blizihizake
sephfire/SirRus
EazyP
Antisheep

ktriton gets an extension because he already warned me about taking a long time.

get to work, people!

I thought Antisheep was doing something for the Gale mix along with fishy and sixto?

[the prophet of mephisto]

if he was, i've not heard anything more than that original mix that fishy submitted. i want to hear more, MORE, MORE!

lol.

[Shadix]

Very interesting prospect.

I'd like to see how this comes about. I'm not familiar with the particular soundtrack but I love Yasunori Mitsuda's music, so you've definetely caught my interest.

[Fishy]

I don't remember saying antisheep was on the Gale mix? I suggested that you could have all three of us on your big finale mix at the end of the project.

Also, you won't have heard anything from sixto cause his part in it is during the solo, which i havent got around to yet, all in due time. I do actually have an updated version that sounds much nicer btw, I just havent taken the time to tidy it up so it sounds smart enough to post yet. It's in bits basically, gimme a while to put them together.

[DrumUltimA]

hey guys, sorry for not putting anything up-- I was away for the weekend. I think I've updated a little (little) more, so I'll post it later somewhere. College leave little little time to work on this stuff :[

[Sleepy Emp]

Interesting project. Eagerly awaiting to see the result.

damn, i thought you were gonna ask to do something for this.
Well, I would now :D But it looks like all the tracks have already been claimed. I'm a bit slow sometimes.

if anyone drops, i'll contact you.

actually, sephfire/SirRus's track has recently become available, as they're pulling out for the moment. Also, 'Portal' is kind of open too, provided dhsu doesn't still want to do something on it. even if he does, we've got other repeats on tracks. does anyone want them?

[Z]

You know.
I don't get it.
Why do you have the tracklist and all the important information about your project on the 2nd page,instead of re-editting and putting all the important info onto your first page... Like everyone ellse. :? :) :wink:

Well, if sephfire and SirRus are really pulling out, I am willing to take their track.

[SirRus]

http://students.ou.edu/S/Ravi.U.Sharma-1/FrozenFlameWIP.mp3

umm just sent my first WIP (this link) to sephfire so he could add his own touches. man we were slooowwwww with this project, sorry to let you down guys. sleepyemp would do a great job with this track anyway, so I don't think anyone lost in the end. if you like this WIP seph and I could finish too otherwise good luck everyone.

Ooh, damn, I like it. I don't hear much frozen flame in there, though.

I hope you guys finish this, whether or not it ends up on the project.

[the prophet of mephisto]

ok, so i talked to sephfire a little while ago, and he said that he'd like to stay in if he could. he was waiting on SirRus's track to get to him so he could start working on it.

yeah, they were a little late, but i love their work, so here's what we're going to do. i want to hear both emp's arrangement, and the sephrus arrangement. so i want to have both on the project. i'm guessing that there'll be enough difference in their tracks so its not hearing two of the same style tunes.

so, emp, get working. sephrus, you two get working too. looking forward to what i'm gonna hear from you.

[Sleepy Emp]

Sounds great. I'm in, then.

[Liontamer]

Things look pretty underway here, but I recommend revising the first post to hold all of the currently relevant information for the project, including the potential roster, tracklist, and progress. Y'all get the GD move as well.

[the prophet of mephisto]

thanks, LT!

EDIT - gt, i updated my original post, so make it on the first page, please.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump!

well, since the 27th or 28th, i haven't seen a single update from anyone. so, here's the next wip due date.

DECEMBER 7TH. ONE MONTH FROM TODAY.

everyone needs an update between now and then. and sleepy emp needs a wip by then.

this is kind of an important WIP date because i'd like to start getting finished tracks in by the time that this rolls around. GT and Kmet's submission, for example, is almost done, and i think that it could be finished by this date. ellywu2's is another that could be done.

thanks for all your hard work!

[the prophet of mephisto]

Hey, I hope the RD project is going well!

I just wanted to let you know that I think I'mma have to step down from doing the project. I was kind of skeptical about it from the first, but I now know that I really have no time anymore. So, I hope you guys find somebody to fill my spot (might I suggest CPacaud--hopefully his schedule is a bit freer than mine)!

Anyway, good luck! If you need me for a synth/piano solo or something, I can still totally do that as it'd go pretty quickly, but I just don't have the time anymore to do much free stuff.

Hope everything goes well!

-k

=(

i just pm'd CPacaud. we'll see what he has to say.

[suzumebachi]

if no-one is doing Epilogue ~ Dream Shore (3) yet, i'd like to take a whack at it.

here, have an ancient WIP (http://cc.herograw.org/Black/Music%20%28Chrono%20Trigger%29/Compendium/RadicalDreamers_ChronoCross_PlacidShores_OC_ReMix_ b5_reconstruct.mp3)

do it. check your pm box for the forum.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump! keep working on those tracks!

sleepy emp and suzembachi, i haven't seen any updates yet on the forum. please post your wips there, even if they're still rough, so we can see some progress. thanks!

[Fishy]

uh... when did you check the forum?

sleepy emp updated this morning.

[the prophet of mephisto]

i haven't gotten there yet. my bad =)

[the prophet of mephisto]

21 days, people!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Brad, update the tracklist.

Also, if we still need somebody to take "Epilogue: Dream Shore," I'll do it.

[the prophet of mephisto]

since we've last posted, we've added two new mixers - tweek (his track is already almost done, and on the forums) and avaris (who's taken a track and already has it halfway done. i just don't remember what it is). just fyi.

keep working on your wips! we're starting to turn the corner in terms of music being done - there's a lot of tracks that are almost completed! keep it up!

taucer, update the front page, please.

the date's in just a few days, people! i'm really hoping to see some updates really soon at the project forum. if you need to get the link for the forum again, just contact me via pm and i'll send it to you.

can't wait to hear the new wips!

[the prophet of mephisto]

WIP DEADLINE

[the prophet of mephisto]

ok, since i've not seen updates in a month, i'm canning Chavous and i'm seriously thinking about canning DrumUltimA. i've not even seen either of them in a month. PLEASE get me updates soon or else email me, or you're off the project.

that said, we still need mixers who will finish their tracks!

[DrumUltimA]

I'm still here, but like I told you earlier I can't really contribute much until like, winter break when I can work on stuff. Have dhsu and laos done anything with my last update?

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Just wanted to say...

Haven't thought about this project in around 3 months.

[the prophet of mephisto]

Just wanted to say...

Haven't thought about this project in around 3 months.

well, it'd be appreciated if you did.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Just wanted to say...

Haven't thought about this project in around 3 months.

well, it'd be appreciated if you did.

Not to be a dick about it, but I put over a hundred hours on my last paycheck. I come home and sleep. I missed the last CMC, PRC, and I'm trying to put a secret project of my own together. For collabs; Sir Nuts asked for me earlier this week, as well as a million things on the backburner... then I already said I was interested in the SMRPG remix project, the DKC2 (when it arrives) project, and I'm helping to finish off the Link's Awakening Project... and I actually HAVE something for that one.

If I can collab I can collab... but I believe my statement from the start, to Drum primarily I believe, was that I would gladly provide guitar recording(s) if someone wrote music for me.

I'm here, but contributing isn't a high priority. That's all.

...

I think I really just wanted to vent. I probably shouldn't post thi-

[DrumUltimA]

laos I'll write you something over winter break-- or maybe sooner, depending on classes/finals/etc

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Aight.

Sorry, those last few posts were really assholey.

I have no excuse.

It all kind of goes back to inspiration; since Drum's phonecall a few months ago I seriously forgot all about what he had in mind... and I had nothing really to practice except maybe the chords to the melody (which, to be honest, I'm already a little sick of)

I probably shouldn't have said I would do anything in the first place...

BUT

I am still here, I am still supportive, and I am still willing to attempt to play & record music written for me.

Sorry again.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Ok, that we have had drama, this can be an official site project.

[the prophet of mephisto]

Ok, that we have had drama, this can be an official site project.

basically. =)

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Glad I could help.

...

Douche.

:lol:

[Fishy]

Sorry guys, but I'm completely stuck with my track, not to mention the fact I can't stand it anymore.

If I don't come up with any new inspiration by new years I'm gonna drop from the project. Mind you, I'll probably get dropped anyway for not updating in ages by then. I not gonna do it officially just yet though. Never know when ideas might come up.

omg i haet you.

seriously, if you're having problems with your mix, then just move onto a different song. there's more than enough different styles of songs on this project.

[Fishy]

So you saying i should just pick another track yoes? I can probably do that. I'll have a look at the remaining ones tonight after schoolin.

[the prophet of mephisto]

So you saying i should just pick another track yoes? I can probably do that. I'll have a look at the remaining ones tonight after schoolin.

yoes, that's what i'm saying. please attempt to pick a song that isn't the same as everyone else, but don't let me restrict your choice.

[Fishy]

Having looked at the track list, apprently theres only two left. Chavous' one (assuming you dropped him) and Dshu's "maybe" one.

Just listened to both, got to say I see more potential in "Facing", so if thats ok with you?

[the prophet of mephisto]

go ahead.

[Fishy]

Bump.

This thing almost got purged.

Yeah, me and RK made some stuff, its on the forum, check it out. Project activity ftw.

[OA]

pft theres a banner now too. Show some pride! :P

[the prophet of mephisto]

super bump.

i've talked with darangen at magfest, and he says that his mix (which was in DOD this month) is done. so, that's another completed mix on the project. keep working folks!

[the prophet of mephisto]

taucer, please update the first post with the tracklist, which i updated.

[the prophet of mephisto]

FEBRUARY 3RD

i'd like finished tracks by this point. we NEED to get moving along before the semester really starts to kick in.

by this point, if you're not on track to finish by the deadline or soon after, you're off the project. this includes ellywu2, drumultima, dhsu, and the rexy/darangen collaborative effort.

that said, snakebone manor is now up for grabs. the track that Prometheus and i were going to do just didn't pan out, so anyone is free to take the track.

taucer, please update the first post.

[the prophet of mephisto]

taucer, please update the first post.

updated with the progress on a few tracks. please take note that track 5 is now open, and dhsu's track is still open pending the submission of a wip.

also, if someone wants to take a stab at arranging the last track for live instrumentalists, have at it. else, i'll just do it.

[DrumUltimA]

proph, don't take it personally if i don't get anything out by then, and i wont take it personally if I'm off this project. I wish I could've been better about this, but I don't think I'll be able to get anything out :[

[the prophet of mephisto]

did you send your ideas to LAOS/dhsu? if you did, then it's out of your hands and into theirs, and they need to get something going. an email this week to them wouldn't be out of order, i think. worse comes to worse, i'll do your post-production work if you can send me what you've got so far.

[Fishy]

also, if someone wants to take a stab at arranging the last track for live instrumentalists, have at it. else, i'll just do it.

Dude, mind if I take a shot at it? It's a really nice track, I just had a listen, got some ideas already. Do we have any drummers, or any sort of percussion players at all?

[avaris]

Dude, mind if I take a shot at it? It's a really nice track, I just had a listen, got some ideas already. Do we have any drummers, or any sort of percussion players at all?

DrumUltimA? ;) If he has the time maybe...hopefully...doesn't look like it at the moment

[Fishy]

Ah, but he only has his home setup atm which isnt amazing. Maybe for the odd random bit of hand drummage though, thats probably all I'll need. Or vibes.

[the prophet of mephisto]

Dude, mind if I take a shot at it? It's a really nice track, I just had a listen, got some ideas already. Do we have any drummers, or any sort of percussion players at all?

do it.

as for drummers, i'm sure we could always find one. i can do hand drums, maybe, but that's not going to come out well i don't think. i can sequence drums for it, but i'd prefer a live one. i'm sure we can find someone, though.

[DrumUltimA]

i'm not home right now, but i have vibes i can record with. a quick bit of vibe work probably wont be that hard for me to do.

[the prophet of mephisto]

cause you're mad awesome. and by mad awesome, i mean MAAAA-AAA-AAAA-AAAAD awesome. aka, peabody.

[Fishy]

i'm not home right now, but i have vibes i can record with. a quick bit of vibe work probably wont be that hard for me to do.

I actually foresaw this. I was gonna add a part anyways.

[the prophet of mephisto]

foresaw? who are you, the emperor?

[Fishy]

Just to make sure, I'm arranging pretty much whats there but for the instruments available with a few jam sessions dotted around right?

[the prophet of mephisto]

Just to make sure, I'm arranging pretty much whats there but for the instruments available with a few jam sessions dotted around right?

i want a remix utilizing the instruments we have available for the project. it has to include me, and it has to include taucer, since we're running this project.

beyond that, you can do whatever you want.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump! new wips by tomorrow, people!

[Fishy]

Am I included in this?

I have a Uni interview tomorrow.

[the prophet of mephisto]

no, fishy, you aren't because you have a recent wip. this is aimed at sleepy emp, ellywu2, sephfire and sirrus (more sirrus), the rexy/darangen collab, and drumultima.

as of this morning, Abadoss has signed on with us. Welcome, Abadoss! i contacted FM a while back about joining up (remember Standing Man from RA, anyone?) but he's too busy with school to do anything. ktriton says that he'll have a wip by tonight, which'd be pretty nice, and i contacted chrono26 from PKMN project to join as well. we'll see what comes from that later today, hopefully.

if i don't have updated wips by tonight, i'm dropping people from the project. you're all warned.

[the prophet of mephisto]

because of the 'purge' of inactive mixers, there are some free songs. they are Frozen Flame, Snakebone Mansion, and Strange Presentiment. i believe that abadoss is doing one of them, and my girlfriend might do snakebone or presentiment. if the other mixers want to get back in, please just contact me and we'll talk.

taucer, please update the first post.

we've got some momentum, and we need to keep it going! keep mixing!

[the prophet of mephisto]

bumpitty bump.

[avaris]

bumpitty bump.

mmmm...kinky

[OA]

mmmm...kinky

I'd say only moderately kinky, however.

[the prophet of mephisto]

as opposed to taucer's kinky. that was teh secks.

[MaliceX]

I call dibs on "Frozen Flame" (Track 9) arranagement. (Ist free)
Expect a WIP soon guys.

[Fishy]

Everyone involved in the final track collab PLEASE check the update on the forums. If this is ever going to get done I need you to take just a look and at least learn the layout. Record some little ideas, send me a PM telling me how shite it is, just do anything that will help the thing move forwards, I can't arrange something for this many people by myself.

[the prophet of mephisto]

sorry i haven't been around much, i'm on band tour and haven't been on a connection in several days. expect updates when i'm back.

alright, i'm back! and, i'm looking into buying a new computer.

that said, i'd appreciate some wips soon, guys. we've had a really low point lately with music, and we need some progress from some of the songs that haven't been touched in a while.

particularly, i'm referencing Facing, Portal, Days of Summer, and whatever song Abadoss is doing (plus snakebone manor, if no one's decided to take it yet). so, rk, taucer, abadoss, ktriton, dhsu, and chrono26, get working!

thanks for all your hard work thusfar, everyone.

EDIT: got a midi for the parts you want played as you want them?

[the prophet of mephisto]

come on, mixers, there's been a severe lack of work lately. lets keep it going - we've got so many almost-done mixes, or halfway done - we're getting really close to the finish line, and we need to keep it up.

[chrono26]

bump it up

[-RK-]

I think Fishy and myself should have Facing done reletively soon, we talked about it breifly, and I think within at LEAST the next 2 weeks we should have this puppy almost knocked out.

Keep working guys!

[OA]

I spent a ton of time recently doing saxophone takes for gale, and am just about where I want to be for that aspect of the mix. Expect an update to my wip by the weekend. :)

[the prophet of mephisto]

besides you three, i haven't heard from anyone in a long time. where are you all so far in terms of updates? i know ktriton emailed me a week ago to say he needed a little more time...anyone else?

[chrono26]

will update soon. oh and can anyone tell me what's going on in the game when the track "portal to open grounds" plays?

[the prophet of mephisto]

it's a short(ish) game, you should play it. kinda like how i should play it.

[Abadoss]

Hola. Sorry for the inactivity. My Garritan comes in next week, which is also Spring Break, which means that I can spend some time working on it. btw, I was more interested in doing the Frozen Flame track...

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump.

i've decided to complete/do myself the mixes that haven't been touched in a while. so, if you see a song that had a WIP but hasn't been updated in a while replaced by a mix by me or someone else, it's because i'm trying to give this project a bit of a jumpstart. big update on the forums.

that said, abadoss, chrono26, avaris, dhsu, tweek, and oa need need NEED to update soon.

[chrono26]

i'm really stuck on my portal arrangement. if anyone has some suggestions or wants to collabo, let me know. it would be very appreciated. i hope dhsu is still goin with his because it was a cool idea. but i'd like to add 'Epilogue ~ Dream Shore' to my list. i'm 100% positive i can do that one and i have it in my head already.

[the prophet of mephisto]

it's yours. abadoss, feel free to take frozen flame.

[OA]

updated my WIP with lots of live stuff

[the prophet of mephisto]

supabmp. i'm back from choir tour. my computer's almost together, too. finally.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump.

abadoss, are you ever going to write music =)

that said, itoh daichi has taken over for dhsu's mix, the portal one. he's taken the work that dhsu did to this point and is running with it. sounds good so far.

keep up the hard work!

[Abadoss]

Well, yes. I've been stressing out with my senior recital the last few weeks. I do have "something", but it's not what I'm going to go with ultimately. I was just playing around and remixed Frozen Flame into a waltz... as I said, it's not what I'm going to go with, though.

[the prophet of mephisto]

ok. when's your recital? i understand if you're worried about that - i would be too. just get back to me when you're going to be able to start working again.

[Abadoss]

My recital was on Friday.

[the prophet of mephisto]

looking over the tracklist, i'm noticing a few things.

basically, that i have no idea who's doing epilogue: dream shore. because if no one else is doing it, i'm going to.

abadoss, i need a wip from you soon. if i don't have one by next weekend, i'm taking you off the list and doing that one myself too.

i need to hear a real wip of the ending track soon, too. soon.

thanks for all your hard work, guys!

[chrono26]

dude i'm doing the epilouge. you forgot already?

[the prophet of mephisto]

dude i'm doing the epilouge. you forgot already?

correct =) thanks for reminding me. wip?

[chrono26]

correct =) thanks for reminding me. wip?

yes it's in the works already and i have the rest of it all figured out in my head. i'll post it next week. gotta study for finals!

[the prophet of mephisto]

my finals are done as of today, and i should be having a decent working computer soon, like monday or tuesday (barring my fifth bad mobo or third bad psu in a row) so i'll be working on stuff too.

[chrono26]

epilogue wip is up on the forum. check it out and please give some feedback. thanks

[MaliceX]

I posted a new WIP, although behind and overdue. I intend to force myself to complete this by the end of the week.

[the prophet of mephisto]

wow, a malicex sighting!

i wish you'd pick a name.

hey everyone, my computer's working!

[MaliceX]

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are trying to imply. Could you reiterate?

[the prophet of mephisto]

are you dj.tuBIG, or are you MaliceX? i never figured that out.

[MaliceX]

I'm actually one person man.. O_o (MaliceX, cause it's my old forumname. dj.tuBIG cause it's my music persona.)

[Abadoss]

Meph: I'm sending you a little progress update.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump. progress, anyone?

[OA]

I am getting close to finishing Snakepit, I havnt posted a wip in a long time because I want it to be a surprise. ^_____________________________^

[DrumUltimA]

i'm makin progress :D

[avaris]

I got some new piano composition from Retlaf that is really gonna help the 3rd section. I might sit down this weekend and have a go at it.

[the prophet of mephisto]

might is not a term in our vocabulary, son. the correct term is "here's my finished song that's awesome" not "maybe might i think uhh".

=) that said, reason 3.0.4 is fantasmic.

[avaris]

bastard...:-D

That mix and I spent some quality time together this weekend. Added about 45 secs of material and completely redid a section with new harmonies and synthage.

Def alot of progress but not enough to warrant showing a near finished version at the moment.

[the prophet of mephisto]

taucer, please update the first post.

right now, we're mainly looking for a few things.
1. ellywu2, Abadoss, and tweek =)
2. i don't know if itoh daichi is ever going to finish dhsu's wip, so does anyone else want to take a shot at it? it's Portal to Open Grounds, and i've got dhsu's midi of it somewhere.
3. malicex, fishy/rk, and chrono need to update.

keep up the good work!

Hey, I'd love to try my hand at portal. Might have to be a day or two until I start, but I'd love to try.

[OA]

Yo, McBullwhip, please update that both of my tracks are done. :-)

[The Pezman]

Are there plans to move onto Cross after this? I think (hope) by then I might be sk1ll3d enough to contribute.

[the prophet of mephisto]

cross is almost 80 tracks, isn't it? that's a little more epic than anything i could handle. i love the soundtrack, i just would never be able to do anything quite that huge.

[OA]

Maybe have a "best of" or create a theme that would have a more managable 15-20 tracks? Cross'd be cool, but lets finish this one first. :-)

[The Pezman]

Just thought I'd mention it. I mean, with only 14-16 tracks in the entire game, I figure it can't take that long to finish it. And I also figure Cross is a natural progression from RD, so certain MIDIs could even be reused.

[Fishy]

You say that, but it never goes exactly to plan. We are doing pretty darn well considering the number of dropouts so far.

Your right. Your logic is flawless.

Look at you, bein all smart and shit. Congratulations on being so damn awesome.

[Fishy]

Rofl, I'll be honest, I totally missed the MIDI rip implications.

Dude, what the crap? You think everyone uses MIDIs to make a ReMix, and even that we go so far a re-using a MIDI for several tracks on the same project? We have entire tracks that are done with live instruments ffs, projects aren't about how quickly you can churn out rips.

Exactly, I dont even use MIDIs when I remix. Everything I do is by ear.

Bitch.

[The Pezman]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

No need to get all up in my grill over this.

It was merely a SUGGESTION. There is obviously no way for me to know how each track is being made, and I never meant to imply otherwise.

Nor did I mean to imply that any sort of MIDI ripping (as in, note-for-note copying) should take place. All I meant was that, because of the striking similarity in the music of these two games, it would be less difficult to move on to an album of Cross than, say, an album of Kingdom Hearts (though I would love that, but that's neither here nor there).

It just makes sense that people working on RD music would want to work on Cross music...

don't push yourself, pezman.

the reason we did rd is not only because its an awesome game with awesome music, but also because it hasn't really gotten any love beyond maybe days of summer. the point of this was to really push out something new and exciting from a game that no one really knew or cared about. hell, no one ever played it, either.

we need to finish this project before we go onto another.

to tell the truth, i think it'd be harder to move onto cross after this because we'd have to make music that was based on similar ideas...but we'd have to make them different enough to not be ripping off our own music. that said, i need to make sure that my music (started and otherwise) for laproject, pkmn project, tetrisphere OMP, super dodgeball, my own personal stuff that i'm doing, etc. get done before i start ANOTHER project.

[the prophet of mephisto]

drama +1 ftw

while i've said that, we've got 7/15 done and we've got solid snake wips from the rest. we're getting there! only need another four or five before we can set a project release date.

[MaliceX]

Get rid of my thing and remove my name. It doesn't exist.

[DrumUltimA]

whaaat~~~~

[the prophet of mephisto]

i'm maybe gonna be finishing his track. he got bored with it and is dropping it - but i've got the midi/mp3 from his wip. if anyone else wants to play with it, feel free to contact me.

[OA]

just start working on it, IMO. He left a pretty good start and you can finish it up all nicely.

[the prophet of mephisto]

bump. rent?

[OA]

I don't have the rent money yet. I need another week or so. It's been kinda rough; i've been working 2 jobs, i've been driving a cab..

[the prophet of mephisto]

no one watches spiderman anymore.

edit: taucer, i updated the tracklisting in the forums. can you update the first post?

[chrono26]

rofl i just got that one. "i want my money, bitch"

[the prophet of mephisto]

Now I Recognize That But I Don't Remember Where Its From =(

[the prophet of mephisto]

new wip deadline, read the huge post on the forums.

[OA]

new wip deadline, read the huge post on the forums.

oh you totally fooled me. I went to the forums to look for the huge post, and there was none. I admit defeat, the joke is on me. ;_;
