I may or may not have unfinished horror music projects to cook until at least medium well. I'm definitely interested, though!

Yeah I will make a new link and catch-up on this / people's PMs very soon! I sincerely apologize for the delays on my part -- been fuckin' hectic and exponentially crazy trying to catch up with my album projects in-between falling ill (or, apparently, fucking up my knee) as I'm doing so. 😅😓 But this is still on-going! ...I'll need to start my own AOCH tracks very soon, too. D:

I'm in this year. I now have an office job that gives me a buttload of free time to work on projects. BTW finally got a ReMix accepted

WOLVERINE - Remix Medley

Episode #61 is out, this time it's a bit of a very special one as Markus Zierhofer, the Master of Music joins my side (he has a certificate of this, which surprised me!), we talk about his yearly project "Live Score Berlin", a project aimed to small to mid-sized studios to get one of their tracks done by an Orchestra. It was very fun and exciting to talk to Markus and I hope you'll enjoy the episode as well. Spotify: Youtube:

This is hilarious and super fun. I could imagine Diddy and Dixie sneaking onto this ride while trying to get to the other side of Kremland only to be equally amused and horrified by a kremling rendition of small world. Very well done with all the singers together and the performances with the pre and post ride announcers. Great idea, great execution, fantastic ReMix.

@The Vodoú Queen Count me in for this, have a WIP based on Infuscomus from the 1997 game Blood. Also the Discord link seems to be expired, any chance you can make a new one?

Will try to come up with something again this year, always happy to see this thread :)

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

Yeah, definitely. )) And I found another really interesting Lufia 2 remix by Mystwalker, which I also added to the remix list in my main post (right after the three battle theme remixes). Check out the Triumph remix: Really impressive what a driving and energetic remix he has composed out of the little fanfare theme from Lufia 2. Kinda love the electric guitar passages after minute 1:33. ... There are also two more modern Lufia 2 remixes by him, but the themes don't really appeal to me that much – just in case you still want to hear them: - Lufia 2 - Cave Remix >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCfsnPX6YQ8 - Lufia 2 - Labyrinth Remix >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfU99NdOD2o

Red Pearl was a heads-up pick! You'd have to know it rather than search for it, methinks.

I'm on the side of the ninjas!

I got you bro: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PfbtESmJaMpaXuMkBjafVM1Wm8QBYO7v/view?usp=sharing Also, I do have a seperate dry kick that I use for sidechain so that won't be an issue. I don't have any plans to add rap to this because I don't think anyone wants to hear my attempt at rapping lol... unless anyone wanted to collaborate this will just be instrumental.

It will not play for me:(

I'll try to listen again at home, won't let me play your file out and about, even though YouTube link played. If your drums aren't dry, that might affect your sidechains. Just posting this so I remember:)

Thanks, the main FX I have on this are delay, reverb, and sidechain. Sidechain especially on the bass. Delay on most of the samples except for bass, drums, and vibraphone. You think less delay, sidechain, both? FX on the drums I can’t do much about unfortunately since they are not dry stems.

Love this source tune so much, and immediately I felt what you were going for with the genre change - it's a brilliant adaptation. The reharmonization on the backing chords and the keyboard patches chosen for the leads is really working for me on a conceptual level! The harmony and transition just before the 3 minute mark is really cool! I thought we were winding down around the 4 minute mark but then you go into some really cool chord-driven original writing that really captivated my attention. There's a LOT to love about this, just like your other submissions I've voted on recently. I'm immediately hearing the blocky-ness in the arrangement overall, which can contribute to a "plodding" feeling. Obviously, I don't want to imply that you should change the overall groove or pacing of the track itself, but even within a slow-paced arrangement, there's a lot you can do to introduce small amounts of movement to the song so that it's not sitting at the same dynamic level for 5 minutes. To your credit, the jump between the verse and credits is definitely felt, and you've got some unique fills that help build excitement leading into a new section, but the core instrumentation is lacking in variety and humanization, or, if these parts were played live, they're too heavily quantized. I loved the original piano soloing during the 2 minute mark, but those riffs feel like they're programmed or played stiffly as well. I also feel like the velocity on the right hand piano is played too loudly, so the "pluck" of the piano is sticking out in the mix quite a lot. From a mix perspective, there's a good sense of space on the percussion but the kick is lacking any presence in the mix - especially when you have such a solid groove with the kick locked to the 1 and 3, it's important to make sure that the pulse of the track is felt. I think you can also experiment with sidechaining your kick to your bass and other instruments and even your top-loop percussion (I can't believe Chimpazilla, the veritable Queen of Sidechaining, didn't bring this up first! hehe) in order to add some movement to your other instruments when they duck under the kick drum. The electric bass is doing some interesting movements on a writing level, but has almost no presence in the mix. It feels pretty wide and doesn't contribute to a strong foundation. The right hand piano melodies frequently sound much louder than the rest of the instruments, too. The ending snuck up quite suddenly with that final chord, I'm not sure if that ending was properly signaled and so it came across as jarring and unsatisfying to me. I think this is a tremendous first pass at this arrangement and, like your Wild World submission, is 1000% something I want to hear back again. There's a lot of actionable feedback here that I think you could totally execute on your own, but if you're feeling overwhelmed by the feedback here, I will happily extend an offer to collaborate with you on this track if you need help with the mixing to get it over the bar, and also play some of the piano parts live for you. Either way, I dug the track a lot - my door is open if you want to go over this feedback 1:1! NO (please resubmit!)

i guess since you're asking for feedback, I think the biggest thing I'd say is I think this track would benefit a *lot* from the lead samples/synths being a little more clean/less FX. No idea if you plan to try and get this posted on OCR, but especially if you have rap behind it, you're going to want the source to be heard as much as possible (without ruining the vibe) Good stuff.

Valley of Bowser 2025-08-18 2254.mp3 Really going all out with the sampling here... WIP arrangement but I feel the building blocks are here. Not sure how I can expound on this. Just a funky groove for a koopa who's got attitude. The original "main" chord is built in fourths. Bassline is changed from the original rhythm, it's just a pedal though so really not a big deal. I really like the heavy lean on audio samples than my previous stuff, it certainly sounds clean and more what you might expect for the style... I can picture Biggie rapping on this. EDIT: You know I thought I remembered it right... ignore what I said about the chords (being open fourths). It sounds to me after listening again to the source that the original is the dominant #9 sound... the open 4ths I got was from watching some synthesia tutorials online, but they got it wrong. The original intervals definitely include the major 3rd, dominant 7, and #9. Original progression = | E7#9 | E7#9 | F7#9/E | F7#9/E | Source:
