Actually, you're right. I should change track one to track four. There is that important mid-bit that is left out. Sixto, Adhesive_Boy and Hemophiliac claim that they MIGHT (read "probably won't") do a collab of that first track, but...chances are you'll pull through and they won't.
Just so everyone knows, track one is now 5/96, which is the overworld theme from the game.
-
Well, Sixto, you're definitely in, though, You're confined to slow rock and ambient type stuff...I don't know how well that suits you. *shrugs* Do you even have time?!
-
Escariot, I'll need to hear something recent from you first, since...I can't for the life of me think whether or not I've heard anything of yours.

you can't do a salsa remix of a salsa song. It's the same song.

This project and this thread are now dead.
This thread is to inform and recruit people of and for the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Remix project.
Please read any post that is linked to throughout this post. They are important updates that will give information about the style of music being asked of the remixers, and the practices and general history of the project and its members.
The Guidelines are as follows:
- Song lengths will probably be between 3 and 6 minutes.
- The genre is restricted to ambient, rock, and orchestral(non-cheesy, please), and preferably, electronic fusion of all three. I hope to have a cohesive mix of songs by way of this genre restriction.
I want this project to be moody and somewhat melancholy. The mood should be fueled by nostalgia. The album would end up being something one might listen to on a rainy day, or while studying. Something peaceful and reflective.
- Unfortunately, the timeframe of this project has been negatively affected by the laziness of certain remixers and myself, as well as several drop-outs, and injuries physical and computer related. That said, the project goes on forever, and will be done when it's done. Your deadline is "as soon as possible, forever"
Update Nov 8th, 2005
Read this: http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1995132&sid=d9db97c05043c08e1436adf3463d768f#1995132
Update:
I have changed the format so that any remixer who is on the project, but has not decisively chosen a track, is now an 'undecided' and anyone who has expressed interest, been given my okay, but has not given me a definitive 'yes I'll be on the project' is now a 'maybe' and everyone else is normal. yay.
Remixers in the project thus far:
Aetherius (lazy ass)
Iggy Koopa (done)
The Prophet of Mephisto (done and a half)
Rexy (done)
Fishy
Dafydd (done)
Tensai
chthonic (done)
The Joker (done)
Monobrow (busy, but has worked on it recently)
Ichitootah (missing in action, but I might use the submission anyway)
Anyone else who thinks they ought to have been on this list should send me a PM. Either I have neglected to insert you due to a perceived lack of interest on your part, or I have cut your song, because I did not feel it was up to snuff or in keeping with the style restrictions.
Please remember that I will have to have only those who can show that they could do a good job on the project.
Tracklisting and Remixer associated with it.
These are the songs that I have chosen to be arranged. 17 Tracks, which cover the main themes in the game. I've eliminated most repeating themes, which explains why any theme you might enjoy is missing. The same song arranged differently on the sound track will still be the same song arranged differently by us.
The (#/96) refers to which track is which on the gbs archive, which is available from zophar.net, and also on our webpage.
Track 1 > Legend of Zelda/Overworld Theme (5/96) ------------------
Track 2 > Koholint -Unarmed- (29/96) --------------------- chthonic (done)
Track 3 > Mabe Village (4/96)----------------- LessAshamedOfSelf
Track 4 > Houses (10/96) --------------------- Iggy Koopa (done)
Track 5 > Mysterious Woods (9/96) -----------------
Track 6 > Tal Tal Heights (6/96) ----------------- Tensai/fishy?
Track 7 > Tail Cave (82/96) ----------------- Monobrow
Track 8 > Key Cavern (22/96)
Track 9 > The Dream Shrine (83/96) ------------------ The Joker (done)
Track 10 > CatFish's Maw (75/92)
Track 11 > Face Shrine (88/96) ------------------ The Prophet of Mephisto (Done)
Track 12 > Eagle Tower (91/96) ------------------ Rexy (done)
Track 13 > Turtle Rock (90/96) ------------------ Dafydd (done)
Track 14 > Inside the Egg (18/96)
Track 15 > The Last Battle (35/96)
Track 16 > The Ballad of the Windfish (74/96) ------------ Aetherius
Track 17 > Ballad/End Theme (<63>61/96) ------------ Possible collab of all remixers?

Important Update: Nov 9th/14th
As of now, anybody who is accepted to the project, but hasn't got a track, is allowed to go through the .gbs themselves, and select a track that sounds sufficiently different from the tracks I have already selected to do. They can unofficially work on those songs, and post their wips here, and if there is room, and if the product is good enough, I will include it in the project. Please do not do this unless I have okay'd you as an artist for the project. Also, these tracks must be in the same style as I have set out for all other tracks.
Again, please try to pick songs which are different from the other tracks, yet melodic enough to actually base a song on. That said, remixes of the 'piece of power song' are unacceptable, as there is not enough material to produce something worthwhile that can still be considered a remix. End update.

EXTENDED Tracklisting and Remixer associated with it.
Bottle Grotto* (21/96)
Animal Village (11/96)
Richard's Villa (64/96) ------------ The Prophet of Mephisto & Fishy (done)
The Trendy/Fishing Games (2/96)<53/96>
Choose a Name (17/96)*
Mr. Write's (55/96) <50/96> ------------ (ichitootah?)
* I don't recommend using these tracks, as they are merely variations of pre-existing themes throughout the game. HOWEVER, I will accept them, if there is a good effort and a good remix to come of it.
There is some dispute as to who will do which tracks. I have taken Windfish, in order that the debate over who will do it, and in what style they will do it will be eliminated. If you don't like my version, well, I'm sorry.
I hope to clear up any debates in this thread as time progresses. (as it turns out, several debates have occurred.)
The IRC channel for the project has died, due to disinterest, asshats
Interested remixers can Post or PM with links to recent works, which I will use to judge whether or not I think you have a place in the project. Don't be offended if I turn you down. I'm happy to provide constructive criticism on your wips and things, but I'd rather not have to be holding your hand through this project. I want people to be independently able to produce good music. Likewise, if the music doesn't fit with the vision I have for this project, I will be inclined to turn it down.
edit: You CAN NOT choose a track until I have heard something recent from you, and determined whether your work would benefit the project. You MUST submit something that shows your current ability, or you will not be considered. I DO NOT know who you are, or your abilities just because you've been around the forums.
Thanks for your interest.
Starky.

just for the record, if you're submitting something to me for mastering...Make sure that the tracks don't clip BEFORE you give them to me. There's not a lot I can do about clipping to a second-hand file. So, if your drums max out, and clip like Edward Scissorhands on speed, redo them at a lower velocity. I'll make sure they're loud enough.
-
yeah, I'm not really into the picture either. It seems a bit sloppy. ...we need an image of like...blood....on pavement...at night.

I love how people are still going on about the pretensiousness of japanese like...9 pages later. No one DESERVES to be able to sing in japanese. If you can sing in japanese, sing in japanese when you feel like it. While I find her pronunciation to be...like an english person speaking japanese, which bothers me, it doesn't make her less worthy of the language.
Meanwhile, I'm sticking with my original story, that while pixie has a lovely voice, it doesn't make up for how long, repetitive, and otherwise unimaginitive this turned out to be...But who really gives a crap? Everyone starts somewhere.
p.s. poofy reviews abound in here. "I love how magically you manage to flirt with the ideas of mysticism and flowers and pretty shineys! Give me your pancake!" Carebear central.
-
given that I made the remix in the space of about 3 and a half hours (the half comes from remastering, and at least one of those hours was spent surfing for porn)
I can't defend the ReMix status so much, however, It's not my fault that it got posted, so, if you don't like it <insert judge hate here.>
yet, I feel it's a shame that my remixes suck, and my originals suck less, and I'll forever be known better for shitty remixes, than cool originals. Stupid SgtRama.
-
I'm no professional, but I'd do the mixing and volume stuff, if necessary.
-
isn't blood on the ashphalt the name of...some song or album already?
-
I'll try to throw some industrial-ambient plus guitarage this project's way, though... I'm SO lazy
-
I'm looking for male and female vocalists. Requirements include at least a DECENT recording setup (minimal fuzz/hiss) - no mastering software or anything. Female vocalists can be alto or soprano, preferably with a solid amount of experience, familiar with vocals used in electronic music (trance, dance, big beat, etc). Male vocalists have the same requirements; the voice timbre should be rough, edgy, deeper.
Check out Legion of Boom or Tweekend by The Crystal Method for examples of the types of vocals I'm looking for.
I'm willing to shell out a reasonable sum of money if someone is able to help me out here.
I could give it a shot, but I'm probably not what you're looking for.
-
You've never played it?! Damnit, boy!
If I could bring myself to hate you, I'd be sending you a letterbomb.
-
I tried to remix the same song a long time ago...didn't go over well.
Secret of Evermore is one of my favourite games, and I'm glad that Darkesword did better handling that time signature than I did.
-
Ok, I've been trying to get ahold of a female vocalist since christmas, and everyone's crapped out on me so far...so...here goes my plea to the forums.
I've got an original song I've been writing, and I need a girl who can sing the harmony. (I'll be singing the melody myself)
So, if you can open your mouth and make notes that don't suck come out, and you're a girl, your help would be much appreciated.
Rather than post a link to the song or something, I'll just provide my e-mail.
hatebunny@gmail.com and you can e-mail me if you're interested, or PM me on here. I'd link to the song, but I don't really feel like having people listen to it if they're not willing to commit to working with me on it.
Once you get in contact with me, I'll send you the necessary files (lyrics, song, parts, etc) to see what you can do with it. If you haven't got any recording software, but do have a microphone, I can probably pull some strings in that department too. Don't worry about how crappy your setup is either. As long as I can hear it and understand it, It's worth a try. I'm pretty good with sound editing/engineering already, so no worries about background noise or things like that.
The mood is pretty melancholy, and the words are pretty similar, so...if it sounds like your cup of tea, go for it. You'll get a happy little credit beside my name on my website, and...that's about it really...other than the glory of being in a song that someone else wrote. wee.
So, PM me or email me. I'm always open. feel free to sign me up for spam, I don't really care.

this may have been mewntioned already...but...Mad world is Not at all by Gary Jules. It was PERFORMED by him and Michael andrews for the Donnie Darko soundtrack, but the original song is by Tears for fears, one of the better synthrock groups of out time...thanky very much.
-
It's worth the listen, but I wouldn't listen to it again.
While the idea is interesting, it might as well not have been a remix, and she could easily have cut out the whole background and just called it her own song.
That is to say, it's less an arrangement than a reinterpretation, which, clearyl isn't a problem according to djp.
Anyway, personally, I really like the background hoohaas and such. Especially the filtered lo-fi oohs and such you can just barely hear.
The main vocals on the other hand seemed a bit like...what it's like to watch someone do interpretive dance/singing to some stupid christian RnB song while doing American Sign Language.
...and since you probably don't know what that's like, It's as though she's just singing what someone else wrote out for her, without knowing how to pronounce the words. I mean, it's not enough to know what sound the syllables make, there's also an inflection or a way of saying the sound that's just as important. Kinda like when japanese people say an english word with a silent E on the end, and they go 'Euh.' Amusing...
er, that said, It didn't really warrant another listen, simply because I lacked interest, and possibly also because my dumbass roommate has been playing Coheed and Cambria all day, and I just want to shove an icepick into my ear.
P.S. I want her to sing for me.
-
the 'printer' sound is actually the sound of me banging on my desk rythmically, but processed and distorted...
IF you listen you can hear the rythm, but it's out of sync with the rest of the song.
-
It amuses me how the first 8 pages are so unbelieveably crazy-wrong in their theories...
mostly, because...All of SH1 is explained in SH3, yet people still theorize, contradicting the explanations, even after playing the game....silly children.
And...SH4 rocks my world, yo.

in response to koelsch.
same to you, my experimental jazz loving enema.
-
I'll do what comes out. The way my music is going lately...it'll be something insanely atmospheric and kinda...twinkly.
-
well crap
-
I'm thinking I might scrap the idea I had originally...and do something...well, inexplicably painful. Is there a creepy/foreboding rank name?

interesting stuff in here...
And, in order to seem like a total ass, I'm going to waiv my right to say anything intelligent about this mix and just say this:
I prefer the original. It's flippin' Sexy-ass Good God Y'all, Edwyn Starr Style, Shiznackety awesome....and therefore, better than this... But I still love you Shnubby.
