A couple years ago, I released Zest Quest, an original album about fruit planets. Since then, I’ve decided to make more music set in the same universe, and I just released number 2! Expedition to PL21-13 It contains a mishmash of retro sounds with an emphasis on things that sounded purple to me, paired with a story about unpaid interns searching a swampy alien planet for a robot sent by their ancestors hundreds of years ago. If you’re into flavor text, there's a full description on Bandcamp, and the album download comes with a 5-page PDF of log entries. The original concept for the album had no narrative context...but it turned out that giving it a story and connecting it to Zest Quest unleashed a rush of motivation. Now I’m looking forward to all the possibilities for fleshing out this universe. Hope you enjoy!

Hey I opened Ableton and... thought about the arrangement, for at least ten minutes It's something! The easiest, fastest, and most fun approach is to turn my relatively sad/somber source into, well.... something funky, and even a little disco.

Ho shit, BadAss! Good to see the series lives on. Good luck, guys!

Do you have specific things in mind regarding coordination? As far as mix progress goes, The Earth is basically done and I'm finishing up on Last Decisive Battle, which will hopefully be done within a week or so. I can send you current WIPS for both if you want.

Ugh damn guys I'm sorry for dropping the ball on this. I need to get back to this.

Came across this on AVClub - it's quick, just like the theme, but pretty well done! F-Zero Big Blue!

Hey, so Wayo Records is reissuing the SoA soundtrack on CD and vinyl for anyone interested, with a little shikishi (bonus card) as well. Looks beautiful, if you're a collector. https://www.wayorecords.com/en/wayo-records/653-skies-of-arcadia-eternal-soundtrack-cd-edition.html

Super excited to have released my first album ! Definitely plan to keep improving my sound as time goes on, so any feedback is definitely appreciated ! iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/storm-colors-of-sound-i/1462319459?app=itunes&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Spotify: Bandcamp: https://wifisunset.bandcamp.com/album/storm-colors-of-sound-i The Tracks are in order with the Theme I had in mind for this album. Four songs with a Red tone to it, Blue tone to it, Purple tone to it, and lastly four Gold/White toned songs.

Thank you! It’s always interesting to hear what people’s favorites are. Swamp Luminescence came from a 2013 WIP that I pulled out of storage and reworked/finished. It was one of the key tracks when I was originally deciding on a tone for the album. Replumification, on the other hand, wasn’t started until everything else was finished. So you’ve kind of got the bookends there. I appreciate the compliment on the mixing. I’ve always seen it as my weak point, so I try my best to keep improving!

Ohhh, so dope! I've been playing a LOT of JSR/JGR lately, and this is just what I needed. "Sneakman" is one of my personal favorites form the soundtrack because of how energetic and juicy it is, and Caleb did it a wonderful job arranging this song. He managed to maintain the crazy vibes of the original, while bringing a new dose of freshness and funk to the table. The instrumentation is also very reminiscent of the original - same insane chunks of slap bass, wah-wah, breakneck percussion, and yet there were some new details like the brilliant synth and organ solos! The abused vocal sampling may throw some people off, but I really like it - that is actually one of the features of the original composition that made it so attractive for me! The incorporation of bits of "Fly Like a Butterfly" was also very cool here - they shuffled the things a bit, while keeping everything quite cohesive, which is obviously always nice! Very good job, thanks for making this. Gonna put this one on repeat for sure

The sax steals the show here. I definitely agree about the Costa Del Sol vibes, too.

Sorry for being so absent, I'll definitely have my song done before the next weekend (26th).

Nice to see sum wubulation indeed!

Exquisite. You really captured a story-telling vibe in this piece, which is more than appropriate for the source. From the woodwinds to the percussion, it's wondrous and enthralling. Always good to have more Tripp music!

For stuff like NES, SNES, and PSX mini, I pretty much passed. But this seems like it's right up my alley. Wily Wars is huge.

Entry confirmed!

Alright, I admit I've been distracted for the past few weeks working on other OCR staff projects behind the scenes, so I've neglected to properly follow up on the last WIP update. I see the next one has passed, so because this was on the head of the directors I'm pushing the last two dates back by three weeks. It won't happen again, folks, so be thankful for the breathing room. I am literally not allowed to delay this project again (it will likely simply be cancelled if it's on delay again), so please take these dates seriously even if I'm slow on updating the thread. @Moseph and @Ivan Hakštok need to get in touch with me - I would like to coordinate with you two about your tracks, since they're quite important. I also gotta bug DjP 'bout his track in a bit, but that's just project tradition. I also have to get my tracks finished, because... well, yeah.

Did anyone claim Overworld after me? I still have a WIP sitting on my computer. I figure I can finish it lol.

*dusts off lichen, dust, and moss* That's one hell of a necropost. In other news, I feel really old now.

omg we actually nearly did what this post suggested - release the SD3 album for OCR's anniversary - but we missed it by a decade, lol. Can't wait for the actual 20th anniversary - glad I've been along for the ride for about 11+ years, myself.

Oh my god the site is going to be 20 this year.

Well done. While the main melody is quite repetitive, the creative use of samples and dropping layers in/out gives this a similar style and feel to the original soundtrack. This would likely be my main criticism as well, in that your mix takes a lot of cues/inspiration from the original soundtrack, and while not necessarily a bad thing on its own, it would have been nice to hear some further creative exploration of the piece. That criticism aside, mixing is good, arrangement progression is good and mix duration frames the content appropriately. YES

THAT is so awesome. Wow. Warms my heart, haha. One of my all time favorite games, and really probably my favorite game ever that never got a sequel (okay, it got a remake, but still!). Hopefully the composers of the game will get their hands on a copy somehow.

Hey there! I have been listening to ReMixes for quite long, but I’m writing here for the first time to talk about an album concept I thought of (maybe it isn't the right place to do it, don't hesitate to tell me if so). Nothing really weird, and probably not so original an idea, but still. TLoZ has beloved themes and the series is probably already quite favored by ReMixers. BotW came and almost went, giving on the way more depth and some new characters to the lore of various already well-established hyrulean races (even seemingly incompatible ones). This made me wish to be able to listen some specific Zelda mashups/medleys. Hence this album concept (even if Zelda games are actually prone to feature quite the opposite to melting pots): I would love to hear a set of mashups/medleys of songs respectively related to the different hyrulean tribes from various games of the series. For instance: Zoras: Zora’s domains, Sidon’s theme, Mipha’s theme, Great Bay Coast, Ballad of the Wind Fish (MM), New Wave Bossa Nova, Rutela’s wish etc. Gorons: Daruk’s theme, Yunobo’s theme, Goron Cities, Goron Mines, Goron’s Lullaby, etc. Hylians: Zelda’s Lullaby, Ballad of the Goddess, Hyrule Castle, etc. Gerudo: Riju’s theme, Urbosa’s theme, Gerudo Town, Gerudo Valley, Gerudo Desert, etc. Rito: Revali’s theme, Teba’s theme, Dragon Roost Island, Medli’s prayer, etc. Sheikah: Sheik’s theme, Kakariko (at least the one from BotW), Impa’s farewell, Hidden Village, etc. Koroks/Kokiri: Encounters with the Deku Tree, Kokiri Forest, Lost Woods/Saria’s song, Forest Haven, Korok Forest, Hestu’s Dance, etc. I think you see what I mean… Obviously, this list is not exhaustive and could include other candidates even if they are quite specific to one game (Twili, Loruleans, Minish, and I'm not even talking about Skyward Sword ancient species) or even weirder stuff (Dragons, mixing songs related to the ancient dragons from SS, the dragon theme from BotW and Dragon Roost Island…). Would anyone be interested in this idea?

This time we've got some Zelda BOTW. Hope you all enjoy.

let's cock up the forums in celebration
