Announcing a Moon/Space ReMix Album! The moon landings of the Apollo Program in the 1960s and 70s thrust space flight into the public imagination in a way never before seen, inspiring tv shows, movies, games, toys, books, AND a nascent video game industry. The silicon chips invented for the program would go on to power the first home computers, and the apollo command module's fly-by-wire 'picklestick' control, would evolve into the near-ubiquitous arcade joystick just a few years later. Early game developers were inspired by the imagery and challenges of the space program, introducing games like "Lunar Lander" and "Asteroids". Over 50 years later, that inspiration continues, from Ducktales to Destiny, and Mass effect to Mario. So, as NASA prepares to return astronauts to lunar orbit with Artemis II in early 2026, I wanted to take this time to launch a VGM tribute to the moon missions, manned spaceflight and their continuing impact on video games. The Album This will be a small, quick turn album, which we will try to get released on OCR to coincide with the launch of Artemis II **The Theme/Tracks** No specific tracks are planned. ReMixers are free to choose any source they want provided it fits any one of the following three categories: 1. The source is from a moon level/area i.e. Ducktales-The Moon 2. The source is specific to space travel 3. The source references the moon i.e. Golden Sun TLA -Full Moon in Garoh or Majora's Mask-Final Hours Let's try to steer clear of any vgm that's specifically "alien" or alien planet areas. If you have an idea you think fits the album but maybe not the categories above, run it by me and I'll do my best to be accommodating! Claiming Tracks Claims are first come, first serve. Each claim needs to be unique (no duplicate tracks). We're aiming for a single disk album -say 12-15 tracks to keep the schedule manageable. If we have more interested participants than that we'll see what can be done Please DM me with claims, post them below, or joins us on discord ! Collaborations are highly encouraged! Schedule/Deadlines Artemis II is currently scheduled to launch sometime between February and April of 2026. That means if we want to be sure we make that date we probably need everything finished in early January..... On the downside...that's a very quick turn On the upside....so was Apollo! Current Claims Mastering - Zack Parrish 1. Halo Reach - "Broken Bonds" - Gravity Gauntlet 2. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door - "X-naut Fortress" - Lucas Guimaraes 3. Sailor Moon: Another Story "Moon Kingdom Ruined" - Colorado Weeks 4. Star Ocean: Til The End of Time "Reflected Moon" - TSori 5. Final Fantasy IV - "Another Moon" - Ian Martyn 6.Final Fantasy XIV - "One Small Step" - Voudou Queen What We Still Need: Remixers Performers Artwork Codirector? If you are interested in making a claim, or helping out in any of the capacities above feel free to post or DM me! *note, due to the short timeline, it is preferred that remixers have a demonstrated history of meeting deadlines and that mastering be taken by someone who has done it for a previous OCR project. with that said, We are GO for Launch! (all puns intended)

hello world 🤖 in these uncertain times, i think we need a little levity to get us through our day to day. we're all seriously serious about studying our craft within the context of VGM music; why not get a little silly with it? that's right baby, we're doing an unofficial OCR album for April Fools Day!! Questions: Q: Why "FishMas?" Certain Francophone cultures, as well as Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands call April Fool's Day "April Fish." It's less of a mouthful than "An OverClocked April Fools Day." Q: What can I FishMix? A: Unlike our other seasonal contemporaries (AOCC, AOCH) you are only limited to VGM music for this album. as much as I would love to hear some more Gangnam Style electric kazoo 9-bit remixes, I gotta draw the line somewhere to keep it somewhat within the OCR umbrella. FishMixes of other ReMixes are very welcome! Please submit your covers of a cover of a cover of a cover of "Hotel Dusk!" Q: What can/can't I put in my FishMix? Cooking up a FishMix, however silly, still requires some care. - Please keep FishMixes between thirty seconds and ten minutes. Multiple entries are allowed but are limited to 4 per arranger. You're welcome to collab on as many as you like, though! - No hate speech/slurs targeted at particular groups or other individuals. It's poor form to punch down in comedy. - There's nothing funnier than 34518s, paulstretched PINGAS or some sensual liccing, but please no explicit depictions of sexual content or heavy violence. (Gunshots as percussion or an occasional sexy moan is fine and will certainly get a chuckle out of me.) Other than that, anything goes! Keep in mind that this is an Unofficial OCR album. You are not beholden to their (impossibly high) standards, but if you're interested in submitting your FishMix to OCR please consult with their Submission Standards and Instructions page. Q: Can I submit previously written material? Absolutely, as long as it hasn't appeared on a previous FishMas album in its current state! We welcome all DoD Alts, Oops All Shitposts entries, PRC/MnP/etc. compo entries, and auditory shitposts you torture your loved ones with as long as you're the one who wrote it. Q: Can I submit entries made with GenAI song generators like Suno? No, but you're welcome to make your own AI-pril 1st album somewhere else. Q: What format should my submission be in? WAV, 16 or 24bit, 44.1kHz or 48kHz, peak -6dB pre-master. Please no limiters on the master bus to achieve this. Any deviation from this may result in your track not sounding how you'd like on release. Q: How do I submit? you can send your WAV file (or a link to the file) via email to a1@coloradoweeks.io or to @coloradoweeks through Discord. Please include info in the email body about your title, your artist name, and any other collaborators. Please keep your file names descriptive, it makes wrangling all of this much easier. Q: What's the Deadline? Deadline is March 22nd, 2026 at 11:59 EST. Q: I want to participate, but nothing's biting. Can I get some inspiration? Sure you can!

Man, this ska twist on Dr. Wily’s Castle is such a mood totally flips the track into something bright and fun while still keeping that Mega Man intensity. I’d be down to hear more ska-style remixes on OCR for sure!

Hiii I'm back after having a temporary break due to mental health... I should get started with it ngl... I'm actually trying to do this all by ear and I have a feeling it's not A4=440hz lol

Maynard Keenan is that you?? Hehe I love the style and vocals reminiscent of certain musical groups I've listened to. Very interesting spin, and with the kind of angst Cloud goes through in FF7, this blends right in and I dig it. I can't speak to the RE part since I've never played one, but fantastic collab!

I'm game, if you would permit me. ♥ I still have the file I was working on. x'D

I'm taking everything you've said and using it to completely redo the project from scratch with my Roland SC-88 VL. I've been watching a lot of content on velocity and dynamics to make my programming sound more natural and less robotic. On top of that, I've been diving into videos on how to build fuller, less harsh-sounding string and horn sections, and learning how to use EQ and reverb to bring out more dynamic, polished results.

Sauvemente!? . . .Ay, mi los dios, suavemente. ♡ I'm sure I can come up with *something* for it. :P If you need help with anything else, just say.

YOU HAVE UUUUUUNOOOOO I mean hell yeah I’ll sub one for this

Yo, Master Mi, these remixes are 🔥! Mystwalker's take on the Battle themes really brings a fresh energy to the classics. The Triumph Remix, in particular, is a standout those electric guitar riffs after 1:33 hit hard. I appreciate you sharing these gems. It's always exciting to discover new interpretations of retro tracks. Looking forward to more from Mystwalker and the community!

Think we've got the front and back cover art / font for the album sorted now! <3 @ArikXu_Hugo How's your track coming along? :D

Also, the website is being worked on! HOORAY! \o/ Thank you again @colorado weeks, @tibonev & @gravitygauntlet for your hard work on it! :D Also, the roster of people participating has grown! I will be updating the front-post very soon to reflect that and those who've turned theirs in already! 🧡🦇

Thanks Zack! Glad to have you on board!

I'll master it. And claim a track. Need to find one first.

Done I made 6 versions of the Valley song. Maybe I will submit one for the official submittal remix here.
