  2. The 9-8 sig is no small accomplishment! I mean really, what's not to love about time signature alterations! Even with the altered tempo, and the improvised nature of the arrangement, the theme always remains consistently recognizable. The cherry topping it off is the buttery smooth production, an absolutely fantastik arrangement!

    Get hyped for a banner artist breakdown with Tom Campana, artist for Platformer Month at Dwelling of Duels. He does professional video game art and can tell you all about Central New Jersey! Be sure to ask about Henrik Ibsen & the Traveling Ibsens!! Remember to une in on the DoD Twitch channel!
  5. Offering up this track for feedback / notes / critiques / etc. It's an unreleased cover of "Stand Up Against Myself (End Credits)" from Thunder Force IV from my recent cover album Blast (Beat) Processing. Couldn't get a mechanical license from SEGA for it, so here it is under Fair Use!

  7. Hey Bazooie, just dropping you a line to let you know I recently published a remix of your remix Wise Wizards, Old Warriors. It can be found here: https://suno.com/song/46cca321-918b-4047-a398-bc3ac18bcd4f and here: thanks again for years of inspiration.

  9. Irish Harp - another really well-sampled and completely free VSTi from Native Instruments ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good news for all broke and less broke composers. I found another awesome free and sophisticatedly sampled VST instrument - the Irish Harp from Native Instruments: - around 1 GB - a good amount of MIDI velocity dynamic layers - lots of keyswitch articulations (including damping of the strings) and different settings in the VSTi inferface - a pretty lovely sound I really cherish the part with the quite famous Legend of Zelda melody around minute 2:18. Guess some oldschool game nerds made it right into the big companies where the real bliss happens. You can download the VST instrument right here: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/spotlight-collection/irish-harp/ If you don't have Native Access and Kontakt Player (also completely free stuff) yet, just follow the download instructions: 1) Install Native Access and create an account for it 2) Open Native Access and download the latest version of Kontakt Player (it will be installed automatically after the download and it even might be fully integrated into your DAW) 3) Look in Native Access for a library called "Irish Harp" and download it (it will also be installed automatically after the download - just open your DAW and you should find the Kontakt Player amongst your VSTi - open Kontakt and look for the Irish harp) Have fun with your music projects and enjoy a wonderful pre-Christmas season. ))
  10. See you, stargazer... I just love the way this song follows after @Ivan Hakštok's "May the Stars Light Your Way" 🌃
  11. Chasing rings, chasing dreams. Running through the bright sun of at the speed of light with memories from long ago. This is my 80s rock/metal cover of “Emerald Hill Zone” from Sonic The Hedgehog 2, bringing it to life with my electric guitars, drums and synthesizers. Rock on!
  12. Some of my favorite remixes that remind me of the stars 🌠 🌌
  13. Nailed the 80s John Carpenter vibe 100%. From the synths to the ambience, you hit it on the head with what you were going for. I enjoy the suspense and throwback feel. Even with the breakdown I struggle to make the connections to the source. It's very difficult to associate a chord progression with being memorable and associated to a particular source tune. I have a hard time saying that a progression is the thing that can link us back to it (unless the source is primarily just progression without other elements like melody or a strong rhythmic component). As the others have noted, this simply does not have enough source usage being dominant. 1:05 is when I really begin to understand the source usage with the ascending arp line. I do get the connection with the chords just after 0:30 but it's just not the memorable part of the source. I felt the production was good and clean, and it is really cool that tubas and low brass got to carry the melody for a while. What's here is very creative and engaging, but this came down to not enough dominant source usage, I would like to see a stronger connection to it. NO
  14. Currently a work in progress finding a opera singer who can the part well is tough for someone of my low popularity 🥴 if I can’t I will have to stick with what I have.
  15. What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.
  16. Jazzy beat. Check. Excellent Rap Delivery and lyrics? Check. Beautiful Chorus/Singer tone. Also check. Yep this one gets a gold star.
  17. What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.
  18. The opening having that heartbeat-like sound was the perfect way to intro this and I appreciate it coming back midway for a bit. I like that this mix gets straight to the point and gives you what you want, which is a well-arranged version of Fear Factory. Strong sound, very clean, well done.
  19. Oooooh, yes, give me all the noir jazz! This is perfect for a lounge style setting. Smooth and sexy, fantastic mix all around.
  20. The final transition into the piano before the guitar was really nice. I actually got some later Kirby boss vibes from the piano and synth especially around 1:30, just from how the beats hit that "dun dun pause dun dun pause repeat" while the rest of the melody played. Damn good track and one of my favorites off of Feature Length.
  21. Aquatic Ambience is great, but I always like Water World a bit more and appreciated it's dark, mysterious tone that really put the danger of the deep into perspective, so it's cool to see this ReMix take that tone and enhance it along with a shot of lo-fi to really sell that atmosphere. So good, guys.
  22. Really digging the vocal performance here, stellar J-Pop ReMix that just fits the usual anime-esque vibe. Honestly, with the way the year has gone, having a few ReMixes lately having a sense of "had it rough, but there is hope" is super fitting. Very much loved listening to this.
  23. This is the kind of arrangement I've wanted from this theme since I heard it as a kid. The counter melodies really do lend themselves to a call and response song and this having a theme of finding the strength to crawl out of a dark place, like a collapsed mine, towards the light is beautiful. Incredible mix.
  24. Hello, I want to ask for some help to see if I can find a remix of Bowser's Road track that got deleted from YouTube years ago, maybe someone downloaded it at some point. The title was (something like) "Bowser's Road Remix - Bowser's Bliss" NOTHING to do with the song "Ignorance is Bliss" is a total different video. Is purely instrumental, and was an energetic melody, at some point it had some "flute solo" that was made for another user (it was at the time you could put these "notes" in the video, like making a colored square and write whatever you wanted), it was thanking that another user for that flute solo. I really dont remember the channel name, I already tried wayback machine and theres nothing, not in soundcloud, and maybe it was more or less 10 years ago when I heard that remix. In the "thumbnail" (and the image in the video itself) was an image of Bowser sitting in his throne (Ill add it here, just in case) I have some link I suspect it was from the video, I'll put them in here just in case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbJNyGnt49I vid.to/play/bowser-s-road-remix-bowser-s-bliss/xbJNyGnt49I

  26. That is usually the case, but there is no obligation to add lyrics to a national anthem or other anthem. The term “hymn” probably originates from ancient Greek (ὕμνος - hýmnos) and literally translates as “sound structure.” Historically, hymns were mostly solemn songs of praise in honor of the gods and great heroes, which were later adopted by Christians, among others, to honor their God. In the general current meaning of the word “hymn", I found the following definition: “a solemn song or instrumental piece of a devotional character.” This is perhaps one reason why a few nation states still do not play a national anthem with vocals (i.e., only instrumental) on official occasions, or why there are even states that do not have any lyrics in their national anthem, such as the national anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sounds pretty much like an oldschool Final Fantasy intro. And if you want to put it that way, music is already a kind of language in its own right, which, apart from the obvious acoustic means, is understood primarily on an emotional level. ... I would also prefer a way more interesting instrumental composition for my country (Germany), because the lyrics (except perhaps for the GDR anthem) are generally really awful and narrow-minded, and trigger a reflexive territorial behavior in many people here that sometimes ends in chaos and destruction. Perhaps one simply has to write an extraordinary composition for one's country, in which, for example, the focus is not primarily on one's own transient nation, but rather on the powerful connection between humans and nature, which shapes the fate of the whole human world quite independently of national borders... ... and which does not make people so easily susceptible to the waged wars of the high society, the large corporations and their more or less bought up governments in their own country.
  27. A national anthem has to have words. It can’t just be an instrumental song.
  28. Hi, I really love remixes of my favorite videogame tracks. Sadly because of life, sometimes they get deleted, so I'll check if in here I can find a way to recover "lost media" or something like it owo Nice to be here jeje
