Before that, PlanarianHugger was the winner of PRC342. By default; when his song was uploaded everyone else though 'there's no way that I can beat this song so there's no use to enter anymore'.

I'm fine with getting last place (I'm used to it in compos), I'm still rather proud of my work. I mainly join compos to hone my skills and learn from my mistakes. I also think this would've been more appropriate for Round 64, LOL.

Got this because of the shortage with the Switch and wow... That Switch can wait a few weeks

Eh, I approach these much the same way I do any other remix I try. That is when I listen to the original is there something there whether it be a bassline, motif, lead, structural thing, or really whatever that just catches my ear in some fashion. The main difference for me with a MnP remix versus a full on remix is one of scope. Like I did my entire remix in a day basically (I sussed out some of the intro the evening prior). The last remix I did in proper took me like a month to do from start to finish. So, to me the thing with a MnP remix is one of testing waters as it were. Like a proof of concept. That to me is the essence of MnP. I mean when I heard the opening lead line of this I seriously thought to myself, "What would happen if I tried to turn this into Trance?" Now, the reason I thought of the source in this way was that the main lead line when you give it a good listen is one GOOD Trance lead line. Not to downplay how lovely the theme is or anything, but it is basically perfectly melodramatic. There is enough tension in its moves and has enough release when necessary to work really well as the focal point of an entire track. The only really risky thing with my interpretation of the theme was whether I could capture the idea of love and sorrow (at least to me it has some in there) contained in the original. While I may feel one way or another about how someone approached their MnP remix is really not the point the competition in my mind. It is more about trying to improve one's skills quickly sketching things out and seeing what sticks and what doesn't. Sometimes you want to work on sound selection. Sometimes you want to work on arrangement. Sometimes you want to work on composition. The variety of tracks that get pushed across the MnP competition really allow for a lot of flexibility in that regard.

Please try to avoid spoilers. You don't learn about the other tribes' existence until possibly several hours into the game. It's really early, but some people might still be upset. I'm spoilerblocking everything we haven't learned from the demos already.
