which ones? and awesome!

https://soundcloud.com/final-kingdom/buttered-up Here's my track!

My original Remix died after a week of work, so with an hour and a half let to remix, i made this. Not bad for such little time. It was a blast!

I'll be away from my computer when it's due so I'll leave this here as my entry. Have a Merry Christmas.

I'd also like to acknowledge the role of critical feedback in the writing of this arrangement. I think it was Theophany that encouraged me to do a substantive rewrite of an earlier version (into which I had already poured several hours of work). But the previous version was confused, with too many ideas vying for the listener's attention. In restarting from scratch after playing around with the themes a bit, I had a much clearer vision for the arrangement, and what emerged was by far a superior product. In other words, don't succumb to the sunk-cost fallacy -- sometimes it's best to start over from a clean slate.

Heads up @Kanthos and @theshaggyfreak, your gifts will be arriving late.

In addition to Debussy, I also feel a bit of Bizet's slower pieces. Just a fantastic, fantastic OoT piece.

Wow, this is so classy. An interesting interpretation of a short song. Nice!

I rarely post reviews -- something that I should definitely do more often -- but holy smokes, this is the best channeling of Debussy I have heard in a very long time, without limiting that qualification to fan-made material. I also love that it tackles what is a very short source, demonstrating that there is a mountain of potential for almost anything given enough talent.... ...and "enough" doesn't even begin to describe what's going on here. The ending is particularly well-executed, giving us the source melody clearly in a way that doesn't feel contrived in the slightest. I'm going to be gushing about this for some time to come.
