Original Post:
Never mind the 25th anniversary of the series, we're not far away from the 10th anniversary of Wind Waker, which musically may have been a peak moment for the series. Surely that's an opportunity too good to pass.

I'm looking to put together a short album commemorating this oddball of a game which put together so many memorable themes from previous games, and came up with a few of its own.

I'm looking for each song to 'tell a story', not necessarily through vocals but through its atmosphere and ambience.
Around the music I want to convey the actual story of the game using narration and leitmotifs, similar in structure to the way Richard Burton narrates Jeff Wayne’s ‘War of the Worlds. (If you’re not familiar, please check here for a taste, it is EXCELLENT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSifCF8k27A ).

I think there’s a real scope to bring the ‘legend’ to life using a device similar to that. It should allow us to encompass a range of diverse musical styles, yet tying everything together as a single cohesive piece.

However if you just want to remix music; that’s fine. Fitting the actual narration together and arranging the album as a whole is something I’m happy to take charge of, letting whoever wants to contribute free to simply get on with composing.

If you're interested you, please get in touch. PM me and i'll pass around an email address, and eventually, if people want, sort out a forum where we can compare notes online.


About me:
I have for some years now been working on audiobooks, writing, getting people to record what i've written, editing it to sound professional and in some cases composing music to go alongside what's already there. I'm hoping to release what I've spent (in some cases) five years working on next year (fingers crossed)...

Wind Waker
Such an excellent range of musical cues; a rich and varied soundscape.
I’m looking for anything with a basis in this game, or that shares songs with other parts of the series if necessary, but we can’t complete the album without the songs detailed above.

When
Well, if everything goes to schedule, I’d LOVE this to be available for the games 10th anniversary… Of course that dates approaching fast and I’ve no idea what kind of feedback I’ll get. If anyone out there was considering looking at a Wind Waker song, or ‘any’ Zelda song, please get in touch.

On the other hand a year isn’t a very long time, so we’ll see.

I dunno. There are projects EVERYWHERE at the moment.
But I loved the music for this game, and it seems like a smaller tracklist there.
I'm down, I'd love to take Ocean if that's cool.
I have guitars, mandolin, ocarina... it's like life is TELLING me to make a Zelda mix. Haha

[Swifthom]

I've had a few encouraging enquiries about this project, and speaking to one member has pointed me towards a title for the album; On the Breath of the Wind...

However, I had no idea when making this topic that it was impossible to change the name of the thread. Calling it 'not another Zelda album' was supposed to be a kind of joke but now I can't get rid of it for our formal title.

Are there any moderators who can help?

You can absolutely change the title of any thread.

When you see the forum the thread is in, double click any empty area in the title block area. It should become editable after about a second.

Alternatively, you can click edit -> advanced on the 1st post and change the title there.

[Swifthom]

Ah, thankyou, hadn't tried to do it from the forum and my computer wont let me go to advanced edits for some reason... All done now

I see that "The Legendary Hero" is unclaimed. I'd love to take it, if that's quite alright.

Of course. I'll send you a PM soon to discuss the track.

I'm pleased to say I heard my first WIP today, and it's excellent. A few people have dropped in to claim tracks , and a few have almost immediately dropped out again , but we're slowly building members .

To reiterate, the project is still open for anyone to join, almost any track to claim, or if you have one 'not' on the list that you fancy chancing let me know and i'd love to talk about it.

Thanks for your support everyone.

[The Eluryahn]

Hmm, I don't know what style your going for, but I think the Title Theme arranged in a Celtic Punk style would sound quite awesome. Bagpipes and electric guitar are great together.

I don't have the tools for such an idea, just throwing it out there.

[Orangedragan]

Sounds awesome! If anyone needs vocals, feel free to message me.

[Tuberz McGee]

FOLK METAL YES
If anyone would like to collab for that idea, I'm down for guitars and vocals.
I think it would be an awesome idea, there's not enough folk metal on OCR. Haha
