By Rozovian

Arranging the music of 3 songs from 2 games ( view all )...

"Brinstar - Red Soil Wetland Area", "Lost Woods", "Windmill Hut"

Primary Game: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo , 1998, N64), music by Koji Kondo

Posted 2009-12-11, evaluated by the judges panel


In 2003, we moved to www.ocremix.org (NOT .COM!) and released our first album project, Super Metroid: Relics of the Chozo...

... and posted 197 ReMixes, too. Chozo paved the way for all the albums to follow, so credit where credit is due to project director Protricity.

We'll be posting the next five "years" later today, so we leave you for now with Rozovian's latest mix from OoT. Rozo rites:

"I have no recollection of my idea for it from when I started this, but I know that at some point I felt I was relying a bit too heavily on the filtered drum loops. Not sure what I did about it, but I like how it ended up sounding. I found myself thinking of the Lost Woods tune and thinking it sounds a bit like the Windmill tune, so I tacked it on at the end, added some more ending... Somewhere during development I added a Red Brinstar-like pattern in the background during some parts, and later a sustained lead/semi-lead just because all the sustain-less bell synths were getting annoying. I also did a few key changes just to vary the sound a little. I should have changed time sig as well... maybe next time.

...my usual fake shaker is there too, subtly crazy at 2:34 with a neat high-resonance-on-filter sound. I'm expecting it to turn into birdcussion one of these days. :D"

Smooth, cool, zen electronica is what one has come to expect from Rozovian, and that's what we get here. I think the judges, and probably myself, would prefer that Ad start at least experimenting with working a kick drum and more established, solid beats into his work, just to see where it takes him; the bass here feels a little unanchored to me at times. Nevertheless, overall good, enveloping stuff; BGC writes:

"I love the groove. Lots of sparkling timbres and syncopation coupled with a really energetic bassline and sweeping pads. I dig it, yes I do. I think Roz knows our general guidelines, but he likes to push the limits with his arrangments, and hey, I can appreciate that. (Larry might not, but he smellz). :)"

Indeed. Possibly Rozo's best mix yet, and you gotta love the OoT OST; stay tuned for more!

Holy crap, this is definitely the most creative take on "Song of Storms" I've ever heard! I can easily see why some people may have problems with the source usage here, since it was transformed quite a bit, but all these small changes really make this song so unique and incredible. The ambient soundscape here is simply top-notch. Major props for the effort, Rozo!

The storm rumbles in. The winds pick up, and the rains start. Wash everything clean for the clear sky will soon be here...

This is a work of art. I think that this really does a great job of having a good zen feeling to it that is peaceful, but too chill. Loving the storming effects. The only thing that would have made this better is if the rain and thunder continued through the whole song, but that's just me. Amazing electronica work here. I really love it.

Now time to give my actual review of the song. Me thinks it is very epic. And I read a comment that says that the song sounds "glassy". All I have to say is true dat. I like how the songs go so well together, almost as if they are the same song. An I really like how it sounds so... y'know, different. I dunno. I just like it. And I give it a 5/5, my friend. Now, GOOD DAY TO YOU! lol. But really. This is the end of my review. Seriously. Totally. I like typing. rofl. lol... I'm just going to shut up now...

Okay now, how about we ignore superjoe for a while and comment on the remix instead? ;)

Yeah, that's exactly why it's called a remix. This site isn't OverClocked Covers, ya know. And the source is highly prevalent throughout the whole thing.

So disappointing. I love the song of storms. This is not a song of storms remix. Way too far from the source.

Umm... for one, I'm pretty sure that's why they call it a reMIX. And for two, it is not far from the source at all! I hear Song of Storms just fine! What are wrong wit uuuu?!!!

Anyways, awesome remix.

Nice intro/outro. I like the laid-back feeling of the remix, and like other people said, it has a very interesting "glassy" quality to it.

Definitely my new favourite Rozo mix.

This is a perfect example of why oc remix sucks now. We have a bazillion extremely talented people making great songs with super duper production that are so far away from the source, it sounds like you're listening to a new song. I go to oc remix because I want to hear familiar songs reinterpreted and remixed. I'll go to Rozovian's website when I want to hear great trance music.

Dude, are you deaf? "Windmill Hut"/"Song of Storms" is ALL OVER THIS TRACK. Not only is it used in the intro's build, but the melody's right there at :40. It's not even drastically altered. :banghead:

Calm down.

Be mindful of how Rozovian will feel when he sees his posted remix used as a medium for bashing OCR. :tomatoface:

Anyways, I love this remix. I like the soundscape, too. The use of source is subtle, but it's still dominant. xD

AWESOME! This is such a great take on what would otherwise be a catchy (but _highily_ repetitive) track. I really love that one background instrument which I can't quite identify (some sort of high pitched bells?) . The laid back feel is fantastic too.

I've heard all of your remixes and this is by far my favorite!
