HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! OC ReMix = 25 YEARS OLD! 4,500 ReMixes later, video game music is STILL an art form! We've got a celebratory Zeal mix by JSABlixer from the upcoming anniversary album TimeShift, and we'll be doing lots more over the course of the next year to celebrate the creativity and impact of this powerful community! Thank you to everyone -- past, present, and future -- who have made OverClocked ReMix what it is. Please share some positive memories on how you discovered OCR, artists and tracks you love (original VGM OR ReMixes), let's go! :-D

In the shadows, we stay busy. ;-) Joining us as a Sage, we now have @Treyt, who's shown off a lot of skills, enthusiasm, and potential since his fateful forum post nearly three years ago! We're proud to announce some staff promotions with the twin magic of Sages @pixelseph & @paradiddlesjosh stepping up to become two of our newest judges! We had some fun internally joking that they were a package deal, yet I'm happy to say they both independantly have done well and proven themselves capable to help us out in this new capacity on the panel! We've also honored to have another judges panel addition in @jnWake, who cut his teeth in OCR way back and has massively grown since becoming a Dwelling of Duels regular! All three of the new judges should help us NO every VGM arrangement submitted to us with more speed, politeness, and class. ;-D Be sure to use our resources in the Workshop forums and our #workshop Discord channel and you may just get some feedback from our new staffers!

good job everyone

Eighteen of these. Eighteen years. Holy shitballs, Batman! Another album is in the books. This year we have seven songs of various moods, genres and tempos, all set for everyone to listen to and as you get deep into the holiday spirit. While we wait for Dyne to update the site, I'll be hosting the zip file. Once he's done, I'll change the link here to go there. Make sense? Good. A big thanks to the remixers who joined up, and to Dyne for hosting these albums for yet another year. And on behalf of everyone involved, Merry Christmas! https://williammichael.info/aocc/

The Judges Panel has been talking about ways to work through the queue of submitted remixes at a faster pace, and after a lot of discussion and weighing the pros and cons, we've come to a decision that's probably one of the biggest adjustments to our process in a long time: Submissions no longer require four (4) YES votes to pass. A decision is reached as soon as the difference in votes is three (3). To clarify the key change here: when a submission receives three (3) YES votes and there are zero (0) NO votes, the submission is accepted, because the difference in votes is three (3). If a submission continues to go back and forth without reaching +3 in either direction, the panel will continue to vote until all active judges have voted and the majority will determine the decision. This update to our decision making process will immediately apply to any submissions on the panel at the time of this announcement going live, and for all decisions moving forward. We won't be going back to previous rejections to find decisions that started with three (3) uncontested YES votes but eventually got rejected; in those cases, what's done is done. We hope that artists will find this new criteria a little bit easier to understand. Overall, we've been impressed with the quality of work being sent in these past months, and this should make it easier for us to get the slam dunk tracks through the process faster. Thanks to all the artists who continue to participate in our curation process. Hope to hear your work soon. - DarkeSword

Fixes The MP3s for two recent remixes had some unintented skipping due to an error in the upload process. Those files have been updated and redistributed across our mirrors. Please update your local collections accordingly. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket "At the Drop of a Coin Flip" Silent Hill 4: The Room "Dreamy Ring Around the Forest" News Final Fantasy V: The Fabled Warriors is spinning up again with auditions open for Volume 3: Fire. Head to the audition event for details. Speaking of Projects, we've setup a new Project Comms forum that offers a direct channel to OCR's Project Staff (lead by @Kit Vivid) for all of your coordination needs. The threads you make are private, so only you and staff will see it. If you're currently running any album projects, head over there and setup a dedicated thread for each one. This will help Kit and the rest of the staff keep up with questions and communications about files, consent forms, album art, etc. Coming off rebuilding the Submissions system as a forum module and building the 8Tracks feature, I'm experimenting more with creating some tools for album project directors to play with in conjunction with the forum's Clubs feature. If you're an album project director and you're interested, head over to the OCR Discord and ask me about it. We'll see if we can get you set up. That's all for now. Stay tuned for more fun stuff on the horizon! -- DarkeSword

Hello!!! Although I'm quite unfamiliar with this place, it is nice to meet people who enjoy remixing VGMs and OSTs! Although I usually make original tracks, I also make remixes. I met this place a few days ago, and I forgot introduce myself. I hope all is well!

These are just going to be first impressions from voting, so take this all with a huge grain of salt! The City Is a Warm, Dead Waste: I love the variety here! It reminds me of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin in some ways, it doesn't surprise me to see a few Team Whip alumni on this one! Guitars are kickass here, and there's a monster amount of synth variety too. There's a solid amount of cohesion with the sounds chosen here, though I'm somewhat less sold on the arrangement itself - lots of great ideas but I think it'll take me some time to grasp where the arrangement is actually taking me. I think there's some reverb fine-tuning to do here, a lot of the elements feel overly boomy, which takes away some of the bite from elements like the drums. Other than drums/guitar, I actually surprisingly can't pinpoint individual elements contributed by each artist - there's a lot of sounds that feel like they could have come from anyone, which is pretty neat! 🏆Duel of the Shifting Sands: Ooohhh, 8-bit plus! I'm not surprised at all by that, but I'm not used to hearing it with all the extra bits and bobs, and I gotta say... I dig it! A lot. I think there's untapped potential to process the chiptune elements a little more dynamically, but overall, the blend works pretty damn well. 3:02, hell yeah! This is a great way to drive this home. I was on the fence about which track would get my vote, but this section really clinched it for me. Overall, I saw a huge amount of potential and TONS of great ideas thrown out from both entries in this duel, but this track feels like like it has the edge in terms of focus and cohesion. 🏆Seven Fists Under the Sakura Tree: Motherfucker, you guys are not playing around. This hits IMMEDIATELY off the rip. That fill at 1:06, excuuuuse me? I think this has a bit of the same "washiness" that I noted in "Warm, Dead Waste" where there's just a little bit less clarity to the mix than I would like, but I don't think the track suffers too much as a result. Ok, and now we go into something completely different at the end that somehow also works? I was trying to write out my highlights as I went along, and I just couldn't keep up. The sound choices, writing, production... y'all are crazy for this one. This is going directly onto my Smash Bros. playlist. This is going to be hard to beat. Sakura Wa Karenai: Ok, so that's how you're gonna play this. The production on here is IMMACULATE right off the jump, I can hear some strong DJ Mokram influence on the world instruments, then some psytrance beats come in and I immediately know who's at the helm. The production on here feels a little tighter, but I'm waiting for the moments like Team Rage had in their entry that REALLY knocked me off my feet. Oh, there's 2:06 - that's more like what I'm talking about, but it still feels like you're holding back on the energy levels. We've still got time to go though, so we'll see where this goes. 2:42 really jumped out at me in a completely different way, but it was a powerful moment with the entrance of vocals and that beautiful FM piano. The sound design in this section is off the hook. OH BABY SHUFFLE RHYTHMS now we're cooking. Ahhh, this matchup is TOUGH. There's so many brilliant ideas here and there's actually quite a bit of connective tissue to bridge them all together, but will say that the energy management falls just a little short of my hopes. The mix is incredibly clean, from the instrumentation to the mixing/mastering, but it feels like there was room to push the intensity further. I still loved this a ton, and you gave the other track a serious run for their money, but Seven Fists takes the crown in this matchup for me. 🏆Only Trust Your Mix, Techniques Will Never Help You: this title sounds like something I would hear in an incomprehensible Youtube Short production tutorial, I'm curious what the title alludes to! This starts off with some pretty straightforward but catchy, bright rock that reminds me of old Sonic Adventure music, the lead performances are top-notch. I don't feel like this track was as ambitious as the other ones from Team Rage in terms of ideas, but it feels like perhaps the most cohesively-executed of the three, and just because it's more focused, doesn't mean that it's any less impactful. The seagulls are a nice touch too, reminds me even more of Sonic Adventure when we hit that part. Crazy breakdown at the end, this was really good! You Make the Sun Shine (In My Heart): Aww, so cute! This is definitely the hardest matchup so far just by virtue of the fact that each entry were clearly going for different things. The other two matchups, although executed very differently, ended up going for relatively similar energy, but this is the kind of diametrically-opposed matchup I love to see from GSM. The lead vocals are confident and fit the bill really nicely - some slightly awkward moments where the lyrics and the melodic phrasing don't perfectly sync up, but that's to be expected on a short timeline when you have to add your own lyrics to the equation. Across the board, I'm hearing brilliant synth riffs and excellent sound choices. I love the vocal harmonies that I assume colorado weeks contributed? 3:25 onward to the end of the song is when everything really clicked for me <3 The area where this struggles for me is the mixdown - it doesn't feel like it's quite baked yet, specifically in terms of relative volume levels. The lead doesn't always feel like the lead, and there's certain elements (like the synth bass at 2:40-ish, for example) that feel inexplicably louder than everything else. There's also several elements that don't quite feel glued together with appropriate level of bus compression or reverb to really give this a sense of place. When both tracks are full of great ideas but in totally different ways, I need to fall back to execution, and in this case, I have to trust the mix from Team Rage. There's no dead air this round, every team brought the heat in terms of concepts and energy! Execution was a little more of a mixed bag, ultimately I feel like any of these matchups could have been swayed with different levels of polish on the execution, which means that you all hit the mark in terms of blending the sources well. I am well familiar with the time crunch element of GSM, and it does tend to play out tougher for more ambitious, multi-genre concepts that will always take longer to polish. Even though I ended up generally voting for the tracks that felt tighter and maybe took a few less stylistic risks, it's not for lack of enjoyment of the more ambitious ones! If you didn't get my vote here, it just means that I thought the song needed a little more time in the oven - everyone did excellent work and I enjoyed it a lot!

This was a super fun showing! Just writing down stuff I've brought up in the discord and listening party: - I helmed (arranged, produced, mixed) the lion's share of Dead Waste. seph was super helpful in spicing up the guitar parts I wrote and doing some extra textures/transitions. H36T did stems for piano and female vocals, Ronald did some dark ambient synths/FX, and I consulted with josh and Moebius on drum part-writing and mastering, respectively. - both the gf and I thought the ocarina in Shifting Sands was a soprano sax, lol, but after the drop I can hear it better. - Shifting Sands is also the most VVVVVV-sounding thing JSA has done, imo. The low end profile right before the drop kicks in is great. Xaleph(?) did a great job with the mixing. - "Seven Fists" is the punchiest one this round, imo. I joked with seveneyes/alex that he was gonna master it to -7LUFSi and it came out to -6.9. "Dead Waste" and "Mix" both sat around -10 to -11LUFSi (different people mastering). Its Run, Lola, Run-sounding transition is awesome. - I'm pretty sure all of Team Streets was floored by the Etrian!Sakura arrangement. It took us a while to figure out the flow of ours, in part because the Cherry Blossoms MIDI was formatted as triplets instead of "true" 6/8 or 12/8. The buildup/sound design in the intro is great. - I also had no idea Weeks also did the low vocals during the breakdown in Etrian Sakura! Her range is crazy. - Moe's time changes were super fun and Moe/josh overdubbed seph like three or four times in Mix. Moe also schooled on josh and I by making one of his transitions a seagull when we were trying to arrange it with drums or guitar, lmao. - Sun Shine (In My Heart) has some good vocal balancing for the time-crunch. I also can't hear "Azure Sea and Sky" without hearing the lyrics now. I joked in the listening party that Moe should have stuck like 30 seagulls in his to make it a fair fight. I also thought it was neat how many credits each track had - it seemed like each team member had a hand in nearly all of each others' tracks. Looking forward to Round 2!

These are fucking bangers. I am glad I got to finally listen to them. Wonderful job to both teams. <3 Kinda funny how I can directly distinguish who is in what team, just based on the sound palettes, techniques used and their individualistic motifs from previous work of theirs!! It's a highlight to hear everyone's hearts and passions and skills mingle together to make something this unique, and both series' OSTs are pretty crazy and gives such a weird, lively, and wide variety of possibilities to the imagination on arranging a remix! So, kudos to the series selection, source choices and the end results! Look forward to more, and remember, no matter the result, these are fire and I was thrilled listening to each and every one of them (several times over.) :)

I just randomly was thinking that OCremix was started in December, and checking online, see that it says December 11, 1999. For me right now, thats an hour and half away. Myself finding this awesome place in 2003. Not knowing how to make music, but as a lover of listening to it, I don't post much....but, I didn't see anywhere on here it being mentioned about the 25th anniversary. (maybe I just missed it) So anyways.... Just wishing this place a HUGE HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY. And of course a huge thanks to everyone who has contributed and kept this place alive for so long. Heres to 25 more years....

Alright folks, got some news for this one - yes, the album is still moving along! Even better, it's been submitted in it's entirety! I've listened to the finished product with some of my fellow judge peers (as well as with Bahamut, the original director for the album) and it seems like it shouldn't have any issues under review, so I can finally say that this thing is happening, and it's happening soon. There will be some teasers and such in the coming months to get y'all excited about the album, but in the meantime I'll share what I think is the *second* most fun organ bit from the album. Ain't the whole song, but I did have a lot of fun making an organ part for one of my tracks so I figured why not spread the joy a little bit? Actually pretty excited to have this submitted, and not just because it'll be a decades-long endeavor coming to a close, but also because the album sounds great. Will it be worth the wait? ... well it was a long wait so I can't be sure, but it'll definitely be worth spending some time with, that's for sure!

Pretty passionate and energetic stuff. Have a listen and enjoy the little gems, guys: Lufia 2 - Battle #1 (Standard Battle Theme) Remix -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lufia 2 - Battle #2 (Boss Battle Theme) Remix ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lufia 2 - Battle #3 (Sinistral Battle Theme) Remix ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lufia 2 - Triumph Remix ----------------------------------------- Lufia 2 - The Earth Remix ------------------------------------------- Lufia 2 - The Prophet Remix ----------------------------------------------- Lufia 2 - Peace Of Mind (Song Of Love) Remix -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... The remixer's name is Mystwalker. Maybe I'll ask him later if he wants to take part in OCR. ))

I'm in this year. I now have an office job that gives me a buttload of free time to work on projects. BTW finally got a ReMix accepted

Yeah, definitely. )) And I found another really interesting Lufia 2 remix by Mystwalker, which I also added to the remix list in my main post (right after the three battle theme remixes). Check out the Triumph remix: Really impressive what a driving and energetic remix he has composed out of the little fanfare theme from Lufia 2. Kinda love the electric guitar passages after minute 1:33. ... There are also two more modern Lufia 2 remixes by him, but the themes don't really appeal to me that much – just in case you still want to hear them: - Lufia 2 - Cave Remix >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCfsnPX6YQ8 - Lufia 2 - Labyrinth Remix >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfU99NdOD2o

obsessed with this mix! the small world chorus is the icing on the cake. Grunt's artistic voice is so strong and it amazes me how cohesive it is between his visual art, his games and of course his music. long live transfatylvania!

Project update: Album's done, there are no more loose ends (When it was submitted in October there were one or two items that I was tying up behind the scenes). It's now entirely up to OCR and their staff to create the package, trailer, etc., and deliver some fantastic music for y'all. Thanks for your immense patience, it will be worth it!

I have submitted Star Fox: Double Wing Damage to OverClocked Remix project panel. Now all we must do is wait and see what's next! Great job, everyone! I am so proud to have worked on this album and I'm appreciative of all your support and hard work! Everyone did awesome! We did Fox McCloud proud!

Inspired by the old playlisting site, I dove into Invision's database tool and built out a fun new feature I like to call 8Tracks! Create a playlist of exactly 8 OC ReMixes by entering their OCR IDs (e.g. OCR01235) in the form and generate a player that you can listen to and share. We've put together a couple of 8Tracks already, which you can find at the 8Tracks Index, but feel free to make your own! The link is also available at the top of the forum page in the main navigation next to ReMix Submissions. To premptively answer a few questions: Why can't I do more than 8? The forum software I'm using to build out these kinds of features is very limited, so I need to lean into these types of restrictions to make them work. Wouldn't it be easier to have an "Add to playlist" button on the actual ReMix pages? The main site and the forums are actually far more separated than it seems. It's almost impossible to develop user-specific features for the non-forum part of the site. Is this the playlist function you've been talking about for a long time? No. Eventually I want to build a proper, robust playlist function that hooks into the remix database and also ties to user accounts with no restrictions on playlist length; that will come as part of the full site rewrite that will happen eventually. However, building this feature (especially the JS stuff and how it interacts with the YouTube player API) has taught me a lot and I'll be able to apply these lessons to the eventual rewrite. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy. Looking forward to queueing up some 8Tracks from you. :) -- DarkeSword

Hallo hallo, another "long time listener, first time caller" for the list A long time fan of VGM; Vinyl & CD collector, obsessive fan-music listener, occasional VGM remixer with my partner. I was finally able to make it to MAGfest this year (I come from far off Europe, and it only cost.... Ye gods, over a thousand buckaroos!) where I met so many amazing friends, and even more amazing strangers, and had so many amazing conversations with 'my people', where I had a sort of, 'wait, I'm not alone, thousands of people are just like me!' moment. Especially it was great to hang out with the ever wonderful KyleJCrb, who I went to the con with, and spent a lot of the weekend with (and crashed the room of many times) - I was planning to check out the OCR panel regardless, but as he was one of the speakers, I made extra sure to clear my con schedule - and as I sat there at the panel, I wondered suddenly why I was lurking, because I felt like I would very much like to be a present part of all of this. I spent a while after I arrived home observing the site much more closely, asking around interestedly to my friends of their own VGM projects, then I decided to poke my head in for real. So... Er... Hello!

Sent these over to DS last night, but here's my take for one of the years!

I say we should give Netscape Navigator 9 another shot.

Hey just so you know, this whole "they don't care about privacy anymore" is 100% fucking nonsense. Mozilla does not say that they can use your data however they want. This is also part of the terms of literally any site you upload anything to; the service needs to say "you grant us the right to do things with your work so that our service can actually function." For example: uploading a picture to Bluesky? Bluesky asserts the right to transform your work so that they can generate a thumbnail of the picture you uploaded. That's what these terms always mean. It's never about a service or a piece of software asserting ownership of your data. It's about you granting them a baseline level of permissions so that they can actually do the things you need them to do with the data you give them. This type of "company is stealing your work" scaremongering makes the rounds every few months in art communities and every single time someone has to clarify that companies are not stealing your work. Mozilla is not claiming ownership of your work. Mozilla is not throwing privacy to the winds. Instead of watching a clickbait video that perpetuates the same stupid misunderstandings, maybe go directly to the source and actually read what Mozilla has to say about it? Also, Brave is the second-to-last browser you should be using (behind Chrome). Brave has engaged with scummy shit such as: Replacing ads on pages with its own ads and taking a cut Putting their own affiliate links in search suggestions Installing a VPN on Windows without notifying users Numerous partnerships with cryptocurrency firms If you want a reliable browser that's not Firefox, there are plenty of options like Orion, Waterfox, Ungoogled Chromium, Arc, etc. Brave is not it. EDIT: But also just keep using Firefox.

Howdy, folks. You may recognize me as Zack! on the OC ReMix discord. I've been enjoying OCR since roughly 2002, and a few months ago I was reminiscing about the OCR podcast in its various incarnations and how much I missed them. I voiced this in the 25th birthday hangout, and @Liontamer encouraged me to get off my butt and just restart the pod. So I did. Check it out here: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2445308.rss Ad-free, not trying to make a single cent off of this, and I keep the language tame so that you can listen with kids if you want to. I'm very much an amateur at this, hoping to get better at it as I go. I learn a little more every recording and editing session, so fingers crossed a few more of these and thing will be half decent. If you're reading this, episode 2 is out, so go grab it if you're interested. I'm aware that a few of the voiceovers sound, well, awful. I had the wrong mic selected, didn't notice until edit time, and I have a cold now so my voice is all funny. I figure you guys can deal with a couple minutes of webcam mic. The format is roughly news, new remixes with my worthless commentary on them, some random segment that strokes my ego, and then one final Russian Remix Roulette track. I remember them rolling a die and playing a RRR track on the very first incarnation of the OCR pod, and I wanted to keep it going. Question for the powers that be: any objections to me using the OCR logo as the pod's thumbnail?

HAPPY SILKSONG DAY! OC ReMix and DaMonz present A Knight (for a Knight)! September 4, 2025 Contact: press@ocremix.org ATLANTA, GA... OC ReMix is proud to present DaMonz's A Knight (for a Knight), Canadian game developer & composer Emery Monzerol's earnest tribute to the celebrated indie platformer Hollow Knight, released in celebration of today's launch of long-awaited sequel game Hollow Knight: Silksong, scored by Australian composer Christopher Larkin. A Knight (for a Knight) features four mellow, lo-fi-inspired arrangements of music from the original Hollow Knight. The EP also features cello performances by Monzerol's mother Christine Giguère, making the EP a family collaboration. The visual artwork was created by Annie Doyon, creator of the album art for 2017's Mirror Image: A Link to the Past Remixed. A Knight (for a Knight) is available for free download at https://knight.ocremix.org. "Hollow Knight holds a very special place in my heart, because playing that game was a very crucial moment in my recovery from pretty severe depression," shared album director DaMonz. "Working in a big game company had been siphoning out my passion for a while, and Hollow Knight was the game that reminded me why I was doing what I was doing. I will forever be grateful to Team Cherry for essentially saving my life! A Knight (for a Knight) was produced to help promote video game music, was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Team Cherry; all images, characters, and original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "This whole project initially started as just a single short lo-fi-ish remix just to mess around a few years ago," Monzerol noted. "Just as it so often does, it spiraled almost out of control in the classic loop of "just a little more", until it became the 4-track EP that it is now! A Knight (for a Knight) is DaMonz' sixth OC ReMix album in a director role. The EP's tribute to Hollow Knight, now makes the hit indie game the most recently released game represented by an OCR arrangement album. Also released under DaMonz' leadership were OC ReMix community albums Songs of the Sirens: Link's Awakening Remixed, Hometown Heroes: Town Themes Arranged, Mirror Image: A Link to the Past Remixed, Super Mario RPG: Window to the Stars, and an arrangement album for his Shuttle Rush indie game soundtrack entitled Shuttle Remix.

it's been a while yeah? Hope y'like.

This is hilarious and super fun. I could imagine Diddy and Dixie sneaking onto this ride while trying to get to the other side of Kremland only to be equally amused and horrified by a kremling rendition of small world. Very well done with all the singers together and the performances with the pre and post ride announcers. Great idea, great execution, fantastic ReMix.

I just made a Christmas tune, a version of Gloria. I'll send it your way when I get a moment:)

I'm 100% in! The only question is, what source am I going to do. I have a couple of ideas.

Just chiming in to mention that I've sent a finished mix of Resident Evil 4's Save Room theme to VQ, so that's at least one track down for this project! Excited to hear what everyone else cooks up ☺️

Hi, I've been listening since 2003-ish, lurking since 2006-ish, and am re-vitalized to start getting involved by my most recent Magfest trip. Hope to do some things, make some happies.

I made a list of 25 ReMixes I really like. Certainly not a favorites list (but many of them are favorites. Maybe it's a partial favorites list.). There's something special about each of them to me.

Mr. Coop? HA HA! Fuck... now I feel old. You've got four days to finish it and send it if you want to get in on the action. The deadline's 11:59 PM EST on December 20, 2024. If you submit it, make sure to let me know what the remix title is. And don't worry, Mokram, Souperion will be there with us.

I'm just gonna say that the source is valid. It was written specifically for the series. It made its way into Pikmin 2. It represents Pikmin in Smash. We can call this a Pikmin 2 remix.

No idea if it still works, but I've still got a copy https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1iu764dptjba85m7ek2dx/Overclocked_Remix_Adventures_V102.zip?rlkey=87uazvq5cd861scmeb2ykez3c&st=qx2jvkg6&dl=0

Project Director: @Darkflamewolf (Director of Arcadia Legends, Mizar Attacks!, and SeeDs of Pandora) Project Concept: After much prodding and poking by a multitude of people/remixers, wanting me to get this Star Fox album project off the ground, I decided it's high time to get the pitch started! Hot off my take on the SeeDs of Pandora album, I figured we could do a similar thing where we had 'themed' discs with tracks that best matched the core essence of what the disc was aiming to be. However, since I'm not sure the overall interest and response to this album, I'm not going for a large multi-5-disc album like the FF8 one. Instead, I'm going to start off with a smaller 2-disc scope and see if we expand from there or get enough tracks to fill the entire ambition. To sign up, you must join the Community Remix Album Collaborations Discord server. We use it to communicate between all members on the project and makes things insanely easy to coordinate and keep track of the project as a whole. Once there, you can find the Google Form to submit your claim on a track and be part of the project! Discord Link: https://discord.gg/CtJ2a8kjRy The two Disc types*: - ACTIVE: You can interpret your chosen track into any genre/type of music you want, but it needs to maintain the frenetic feel of the original track. It's basically giving the Star Fox fan more of what they want. They got a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat Corneria theme? Well, we'll give them that and THEN SOME. Keep it active! Make it hard, fast, loud, crazy - go wild! These are tracks I want to really turn my speakers up high and just rage/rock out to! Let the walls pound with the beat. Note: But what if you want to remix a slower song from the OSTs into a crazy, active style? YOU SURE CAN! If it is active and fast, it belongs on this disc, regardless of the original source tune. - INTERPRETIVE: This disc is for everyone not looking for those crazy times, but wants to explore the melodies and themes beyond their original incarnations. Complete freedom of genre, style and mood. You can stay within the genre/style/mood of the original track or you can go off in wild new directions with it and remix it in a way nobody has ever thought of. Can we have active tracks on this disc? Sure, but those probably won't be the focus, but that's not stopping you from making some beats. This is truly the 'freedom to remix' disc. So, if the first disc was giving Star Fox fans more of what they loved, this is giving something they never knew they needed! Be unexpected! Don't repeat what has been done before - do something fresh and new with these tracks if you can! * - More discs and their types will be added depending on how big this balloons as a community project. --- QUESTION: What if a track has already been claimed by another, but it's for the ACTIVE disc and I want to do the same song more INTERPRETATIVE, can we both claim it? ANSWER: YES! However, this is the only instance doubles can exist. We can't have two Star Fox 64 Corneria's on the ACTIVE disc, but we can have one Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and one Star Fox 64 Corneria on the INTERPRETIVE disc. One variant per disc. Likewise, each Corneria theme is different from game to game, so we CAN have Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and a Star Fox 64 Corneria on the ACTIVE at the same time since, if you listen, they are different themes for the same place - this also applies to any track claims on the INTERPRETIVE disc. QUESTION: What if a track I want to claim isn't on these track listings? ANSWER: Then when you fill out the Google submission form on the Discord server, claiming a track, request it to be added to the list and that you're claiming it! --- TRACK LIST I am listing all available tracks from all Star Fox games, but that does not mean they all need to be claimed/covered. We'll take whatever we can get, but this album is meant to be a tribute to the series as a whole, thus the entire listing.

It'll be a link to the server itself, but I hadn't made the channel + threads yet. D: I'll be doing so when I return home in a couple days. Defo by this Sunday / next Monday. ♡ And I'll post the link to the server here! :)

Oooooh.... me thinks this might be a great place for choirs / singers doing banshee / ghost / goblin etc vocals to have lots of fun. Teeeheeheee. Very interested in singing on and/or arranging vocals for a track on this:) - Bonnie Bogovich the weird lady who runs The Bwak Choir co-founder of Super Smash Opera https://blackcatbonifide.com

Here's a sample of some of my work! I've done some banners for Dwelling of Duels and some personal projects as well. Hope I can get the opportunity to contribute to this project!

Sounds great! Wouldn't mind doing another year or two if you need—here's some other work, aiming to showcase a breadth of styles.

Well, look at all the nice stuff Morgan said, it warms a middle-aged man’s heart! We’re glad to have you too. :-) This was definitely a trip on the USS Weirdshit, and I’m here for it. Boy, this gets pretty grimey, and props to Chimpa for her post-production efforts as well; just like the Mario 64 piece that she also mastered, everything sounds awesome on my car stereo, which can’t be taken for granted. (I’ve heard pro tracks that don’t come out sounding full and clean on car stereo, to be sure.) Just voted on mooooooooo.ooorgan’s Super Mario 64 piece before this, which I believe was the second or third track of his that I’ve judged. That said, the dude’s got me trained now: expect a journey and expect to be impressed. YES

Awesome, thank you for that. Those are so good. I also re-uploaded my favorite cover from him that didn't seem to be on youtube and/or anywhere else. But it's definitely a gem.

When the strings hit, I was like "Whooooooooa! This is my favorite part!" and then even more cool instrumentation kept dropping in as things kept shifting. Very dynamic and, at nearly 5 1/2 minutes, it does a great job evolving and justifying the length. Fun energy!

Love this remix. It's been a staple on my Halloween playlist for years now.

Just to clarify: you’d remix material from both series. One team will select the source tracks from one series (one track per game, three games) and the other team will do the same for the other series, and then the sources will be paired up. Each team will produce three mashup mixes, one for each of the three pairs of sources. In the previous two GSMs, teams have taken different approaches to getting tracks put together with regard to whom does what. You might be on a team with three or four performers and a couple of mixers, maybe one team member is good at mastering, and three arrangers; or your team might be five arrangers and someone who plays guitar or something. As long as your team gets their three mashups done by deadline, it doesn’t matter how you do it. :)

This seems like an opportunity to delve into Indian folklore instruments to arrange the credit theme of a 16-bit game very dear to my heart. This is why I love these OCR albums: they are the perfect excuse to try concepts I wouldn't otherwise have dared to try on my own. 😉 Best advice I can give ya @mo.oorgan is to try and enlist someone with some experience as a co-director. At first it will seem manageable on your own, but especially if you've got an aggressive timeline for this many tracks, there's a lot of administrative and HR tasks that can drain your artistic soul dry. Best of luck, and maybe I'll join the effort if/when this gets going. 💪
