Tetris Attack Album
This was a great game I played with my wife when we first got married nearly 20 years ago. The original album project was set up at that time and I had accepted 3 songs. The original thread is still around and there was plenty of interest at that time. The songs I worked on I did a lot of it when I was sent to Louisiana for Hurricane Katrina relief (I built/maintained the supporting software for various gov't agencies, like power, rebuilding roofs, etc). It was here that I had a lot of time (no internet, very little power except through the RV as there were no hotels) and being alone at night I just wrote music (3 songs). In any case, I loved these songs and I wanted to put them towards the album - it was abandoned so I decided to start a new one. I'm looking for people interested and will ask to move this to the album thread if I get enough interest.
I'm also thinking of possibly doing more puzzle game albums depending on how this one turns out.
I plan on programming the website - though I may recruit some highschoolers/college students (friend's kids) looking for experience to add to their resume.
Positions Recruiting:
Remixers / Musicians
Rules:
Each song has a core instrument/style of play to represent the character and its critical/panic.
It is encouraged to use this instrument in creative ways throughout the piece (or versions of it). For example, a prepared piano or different types of pianos within the piece.
The instrument needs to be a main part of the song in some way shape or form as it is to be highlighted. If the song is "bass", just having a bass isn't enough - it needs to be celebrated.
What is an example of critical/panic vs normal?
Raphael the Raven (Lunar) stage and the panic/critical stage would both be a violin. The normal stage would be playful violin but the panic/critical would be a horror violin style.
The actual genre of music could be anything as long as the normal stage has a positive vibe and the panic stage has an aggressive/panicked vibe.
Panic can just be fast or a fast paced song/style/genre. It doesn't mean over the top aggressive.
How do I know what instrument is to be highlighted?
I'll clearly add a list of each instrument corresponding to each character/stage below - though this is currently in progress.
What if I want to highlight a different instrument?
If both Normal and Panic stages are not taken, you can request a certain instrument to be featured (if we think it's a good fit, we'll change it).
