OverClocked ReMix...

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

I'm very glad I listened to the source before I listened to the remix because IT SHOWS how much you did to it!

It is funky and I am thoroughly digging it. How did you make another one of these amazings I will never know, but I will not question it.

I hope more people download it even though it is from an obscure-ish soundtrack...

Is this supposed to sound utterly ridiculous? Really, this sounds like a joke.

Care to elaborate on that? What's so jokey about it?

It's boring and suffers from squidgy synths.

This guy's going to have more remixes on this site than McVaffe in no time.

What RoeTaKa said. It's not the arrangement so much - I mean, I don't like the arrangement, but I don't find it to be ridiculous or anything. He clearly has a good understanding of melody and knows how to improvise with it fairly skillfully. But his choice of sounds are just... goofy. The synths, a xylophone (or marimba)... it just sounds silly!

That being said, the instrument choices were purposeful, and everything was clicking together nicely, so great jorb!

Yeah, I can definitely buy that.

While "utterly ridiculous" might not be what I was going for it wasn't meant to be the most serious instrument combination. Instead I tried a blend of instrument that appealed to me and my playing. Since I'm interested in analog synths but also in Jazz I felt it would be fun to blend the two into something I enjoy. Every instrument is also keyboard-based (the xylo does have a piano-like layout) so I could play everything without having to think about the limitations of, say a string instrument. Since I play everything on my keyboard when I record it, it's important to me. The only exception is the drums which I play on my Korg padKontrol.

Hope it makes more sense to you now. I also hope you would refrain from expressing yourself so bluntly in the future since it obviously rubs quite a few people the wrong way.
