I'm very late with the announcement of the voting stage so I changed the deadline. Welcome to the voting stage The mixing stage is over. This round has 2 songs and 1 bonus by TheVideoGamer The following people compete against each other: Hleet IamVideoGamer To vote, do the following: Visit https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC460 and listen to all the entries Scroll to the form at the bottom of the screen or click PM. Fill in the entries from first to third in the ThaSauce form or fill in your top 2. State a reasoning for it. Participants are encouraged to vote and leave feedback. They get a 3 point bonus, but they are not allowed to vote for their own track. It doesn't matter for the result. Always look in this thread to find out who's the winner of the round after the voting stage instead of only looking at ThaSauce for the results. You have until Friday February 3rd 2023 10:59 AM ThaSauce time (11:00 UTC, 12:00 GMT) to vote. If you vote by PM make sure that your top 3 is clear. I prefer something like this: (To) (Subject) PRC ## Vote (Message): 1: (remixer A ) 2: (remixer B ) 3: (remixer C ) (reasoning)

The People's Remix Competition 461 PRCv20-02 Hello everyone and Welcome to the People's Remix Competition! This is the second round of the season and the last round with sources selected by winners from Season 19. TheVideoGamer picked his source as winner of an earlier round, Souperion was the winner of the anniversary round. This round is located at: https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC461 One important change in the rules is that from now on most of the source limitations are removed. The winner of this round still may pick the next source, he/she also may pick a source which already have songs at Ocremix. Also past PRC sources may be picked, except for the sources which are already picked in season 19 (last year). It still must be a Video Game source. So even Ice Cap is allowed for a PRC source from now on. Source 1: Super Drift Out (Super Famicon) - Title https://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC461_Super_Drift_Out_-_Title_Theme.mid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Drift_Out Source 2: Mega Man ZX: Advent - Target Chaser https://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC461_MMZXA Target Chaser.mid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_ZX The deadline is Monday February 13th 2023 at 10:59 am ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT), check the link https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC461 for the exact time left. Make sure that the song is uploaded to ThaSauce or that there’s a download link posted in this thread. You may enter as many mixes as you like and work with as many people as you like on each mix. You are free to create a second ThaSauce account for that if you use ThaSauce, it's needed to be able to upload a second remix if you use ThaSauce. Of course you can also upload it somewhere else and put a download link in this thread. Do not make qualitative comments on an entry until the results of the vote have been posted in this thread. To participate it is enough to remix one of the sources. Remixing both in one song is encouraged and will be rewarded with a 3 point bonus. TheVideoGamer and Evktalo can take part by remixing the source selected by the other or remixing both in one song. They only have a double vote if they don't participate (or mix only their own source). Mixers cannot vote for themselves but if they vote they receive a free first place vote added onto their score. The winner of this round may select the source for PRC463. This also may be a source with an Ocremix or a past PRC source, except for sources which are mixed in season 19. It must be a Video Game source. You can find the full rules list at this page as well. GOOD LUCK! PRC Home Page

I might return with something more detailed, but the simplest way I think is to take your leitmotif and repeat it in a higher mode. Basically a similar melodic contour on a higher 'key' with the appropriate adjusted chords. This came to mind: This video also talks about using this technique, not necessarily to feel like you're floating, but just as it was used in its time:

Personally, I feel as if it's less about any particular progression and more about what's being placed around it. Like where did the song come from, where it's going, and the spacial aspect. Also, voicing really helps and timbre as well. To use a metaphor I guess, the feeling of floating also necessitates experiencing the feeling of being grounded. Or at least knowing that feeling. So you have to have that base around the feeling or else there really is no magic to it. In short, I believe replicating that feeling in music is imo, not something that comes simply down to a chord progression but everything around it. I'll point to a personal example and one from a well known composer. So in a piece I'm working on right now, at about 1:50 I think I achieved the feeling of floating or at least I always feel like I'm floating haha. The chord and the progression to it isn't particularly interesting imo but it's the build and the atmosphere that help take it there. Also, windchimes always help everything sound beautiful and angelic ☺️ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rvdaLltuhBEQlTqk6wGppcF3DgEzztsM/view?usp=drivesdk Mahler's 2nd symphony the last movement. Oh man....oh man. I feel like I'm going to just rise and ooof. Help lol. At around 5m until the end is just a clinic in tension and power. Wow. Now there are some beautiful chords of course but on piano it wouldn't send me I don't think https://youtu.be/gQctkKJMgM0 Edit: also I'm pretty sure Leonard Bernstein ascended during this lol
