Hello everyone!

Hylian Melodies is a ReMix project aimed not at a single game in the series, but at the entire franchise. It does have a basis though, and that is in the different ocarina songs from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

The idea is that when a remixer has chosen a song they wish to use, they also have to pick a second or more songs (there is no limit, as long as you make the ocarina song apparent) of their own choosing, from the entire franchise, and then mix these together. They can use as much or as little of either the ocarina-song or the second song as they wish, as long as you can identify the ocarina-song in the track somehow. They can of course use more than one song to mix with the ocarina song. Also, if they can direct the mood of the song towards how the ocarina-song is, that would be great, but it's not a requirement.

Rules:

* If you want to sign up, then either write in this thread, or (preferably) send me a PM, with your idea
* Choose carefully when you choose your source material. You can only pick ONE Ocarina song, but as many other Zelda songs as you want, with a few exceptions of overly remixed tracks (such as Gerudo valley for example).
* In order to qualify for the project, there are some rules to the arrangement itself: When arranging them, it must be a proper arrangement. Placing the source materials next to each other in a medley with different instruments does NOT qualify as an arrangement.
* Your chosen tracks need to be apparent in the final product. The Ocarina song always needs to be recognizable, but it does not have to take the lead in the entire song if you don't want it to. The other tracks can be as much up front or in the background as you want.
* In order for me to know that you can stick to the rules, I need to hear something of your previous work. If possible, if you have anything where two or more tracks are being mixed together, I'd like to hear it. If you have been posted on OCReMix then I see that as a sign of quality, but I still need to hear your ideas for this project.

Here is the track list:

Zelda's Lullaby
Epona's Song
Saria's Song
Sun's Song
Song of Time
Song of Storms + Title screen (OoT) (Tuberz McGee)
Minuet of Forest + Ocean Theme (WW) (Andy_Frank)
Bolero of Fire + Fire Temple (original) (OoT) (Theophany)
Serenade of Water
Requiem of Spirit + Sanctuary (LttP) (Aaron Marshall)
Nocturne of Shadow + Death mountain Dark world (LttP) (Cerrax)
Prelude of Light
Song of Healing + Forest Temple (OoT) + Ice Cavern (OoT) (Phonetic Hero)
Song of Soaring
Sonata of Awakening
Goron's Lullaby
New Wave Bossa Nova
Elegy of Emptiness + No song selected yet (wildfire)
Oath to Order + Ganondorf's theme (TP) + Final Battle theme (WW) (Chernabogue)

We could also have the ocarina/flute songs from A Link to the Past and even the first Zelda game, as bonus tracks for the album, if there is enough interest.

I think this is a great idea, still don't think I have the skills to remix something decent but can't wait to hear this project

I'd be happy to help out =)

Thanks for the support! Well, at this stage you can mostly just spread the word. But if you think of anything you can do that might benefit the project, then send me a PM and we'll talk.

Make sure you familiarize yourself with the project rules for OCR.

Also remember, you can only use this thread for recruitment, not any other kind of organization.

Ah, thank you. I have been looking for those rules, but I hadn't seen this forum category.

It's not the most helpful thing in the world, but I'm expressing my great interest! Shortly I'll be able to commit to a ReMix!
Great project idea.

Hmm...I would love to be a part of this. I just need to figure out what to mix with what, lol. I know i wanna use the cave/battle theme from Zelda 2 NES, but i'm not sure what i could mix that with that would sound good. :D

Hey there, this sounds like an interesting concept for a remix project. As a fan of Zelda music, I wouldn't mind joining in.

I will be updating the main post, with links to all the different ocarina songs, so that you can listen to them and then maybe have an easier time to decide. The cave/battle theme is a great track, and there just has to be a fitting ocarina song for it.

Great! Send me a PM if you want to claim a track.

I'd love to do Song of Storms with the Gerudo valley track.
