According to the front page, two Blak_Omen's worked on this piece. ;) Can only mean it's twice as good.
This has some great composition and playing. However I'm opposed to the whole speeding up and slowing down thing. I like a standard tempo, this throws me out. The lower keys don't seem to fit in some sections. But the actual tune is beautiful. I love fast chords. oh man, it's just such a pity about the lower keys. They're smashing the tune out of control around 2:30. So overall, good composition, great playing, lower keys are over powering, some area's are out of timing.

I've been following blak_omen's work on the WIP forums for a while now. I'm glad to see his finished work on the OCR main page. I'm also a big fan of MC's work, some of my favourite OCR songs are by him. Thelonius Temple comes to mind. I'm not at all surprised to see that this collaboration has produced splendid results. Kudos to both.

DJP wasn't kidding when he said not to expect a tender and gentle piano peice this time. This is harsh and brazen, and some of the dissonances really set me off balance. At the same time, it's driving and powerful, and sweeps you along for a wild ride, whether you're ready to hit the bumps or not. This isn't the sort of piano I usually like, but this is darn good piano regardless, and there is no denying that.
Is this a live recorded piano, by the way? If sampled, these are some amazing samples. I'd love to hear this played live some day. This feels like the sort of peice that would be even more awesome if you were sitting in a large concert hall and feeling the vibrations of those driving notes through your seat and through the floor... Well done.

wow, sounds like someone playing hunter's theme on a piano with a lot of umph. sounds like someone is almost banging the thing and the theme is somehow coincidence. but damn that's pretty good playing.

Many people only make use of the softer, gentler side of the piano. It wasn't called a pianoforte for nothing, it can get incredibly loud and powerful! I thought that OCR needed a "stronger" piano remix choice just to show you that piano isn't just sappy love songs or tearful ballads. It's also got a lot of oomph and power behind it!
I hope I conveyed that well. And also, about 70% of the credit for this piece should go to MC. He did all the piano sequencing and did a fantastic re-arrangement of my arrangement. If you're interested in hearing what MC worked from you can download the sheet music from: http://individual.utoronto.ca/lionhe...fthehunter.zip (if it doesn't work or it's the wrong sheet music please PM/email me and I'll see what I can do) Anyway I'm glad to see people enjoying it, it's been a long ride but a worthwhile one. If you've got any questions I'd be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. Otherwise, enjoy! (Keep an eye out for my next remix!)

Wow. Without a doubt THE finest piano mix on OCR, period! I particularly like the homage to Rachmanioff in the intro. THIS is the kind of arrangement I'd like to hear more of (does anyone else find it sad the djpretz needed to put a disclaimer saying this wasn't a soft, sweet arrangement, even though this is an arrangement of Hunter's Chance?). This is great. It's really really great.
Did I mention it's great? 'Cuz it's great. *listens again*

The only things I don't like about this piece are the dissonances (which are everywhere) and the seeming randomness of the notes. These are only obvious on the first listen and become unnoticeable after a few good listens, so it's OK. The song really picks up as it moves on... like past the one minute mark. Overall, it sounds fantastic.
Some random thoughts: -I disagree with whoever's comment that the ending didn't provide enough closure; on the contrary, that sort of rushed-sounding ending perfectly fits a wild and vibrant piece like this. -It's definitely not something I want to have on in the background while browsing message boards or doing homework or whatever. This is a great example of music you need to actively listen to. I just can't get over how incredibly rich this remix is. -Good song choice. I've always felt that FF9 music has that sort of hokey quality to it (not in a bad way) that would make most of its songs good for piano arrangements. The rambling note structure in this remix very well fits the time the song is used. The hunting contest in FF9 always has this frantic feeling to it (gotta kill one more bear or Vivi wins!), which is nicely represented in this piece. It wouldn't make sense if you did, say, the Treno or Cleyra music in this manner, but the hunting contest works well.
