Short and sweet, not a big fan of this source theme because of how formless it feels, even though it's a straightforward melody, so I really appreciate how Zack & co.'s version has more of an overt direction! Great instrumentation and performances, awesome soundscapes. YES

Alright, from 1:08-1:49, it's just too loud, that's wild that the volume would spike that high. Yeezus. Alright, so the volume's making me go back to the all-important question: If the source files were lost, and the track couldn't be revised, would I still turn this down. The answer's no, so I'd YES if the arrangement side was on point. 1:56 repeats :13's section with a cut-and-paste; I didn't even mind it that much, but the the build-up to the chorus at 2:37 was still a wholesale repeat, it made the track feel underdeveloped. There were at least some differences with the SFX from 3:05-3:18. Great base here, Jordan! Loads of strong, punchy sound design, even if my old man ears got battered. Love the interpretation and personalization of the theme, but after 1:56, there's almost no further development. More variation of any sort in the second half to move it up from being a 95% rinse-and-repeat will seal the deal! NO (resubmit) EDIT (10/10): More could still be done to have the second iteration of the verse stand apart from the first, but I'm on board with the edits and the sum total of what's there given the expansive treatment. YES

Original Decision Hello everyone, Hello Larry, I would like to send back my tetris remix which was refused on February 20. I reworked the song, the dynamics, the compression and its duration.

Mega Man 3 is one of my first games I ever played and probably completed as well, it is also my favorite Mega Man game, so it has a special place in my heart. The soundtrack is awesome too, which has inspired me to try remixing all the songs in it, so hopefully more are coming soon. I can't say for sure when I first started doing this remix, since I lost my old versions when my HDD died. First version that I thought was good enough to share with everyone seems to be January 2015 when I uploaded it to my SoundCloud. I did have a video version of this on my Youtube too, but I unlisted it because I want an updated and better version of this in there. Like always, this is made with Renoise and a bunch of VSTs and NES samples etc.

(with more variations added) Greetings! I've always wanted to remix Kraid's theme from Metroid. It's mega-spooky in its composition and just reeks of genius. Watch for the drop, it's pretty wicked. Jordan bLiNd

I wish I had some more substantive to say but this really was mostly a creation off the top of my head without any deep thought. The most I can say creation wise is I tried to make the two sources play nicely with each other and I ended up with something that I didn't expect hahaha. I've had people say it sounds like a game intro. I can't say I was going for that...but then again, I wasn't really going for anything in particular! I just hope people enjoy it and that's good enough for me! Go forth, little song. Into the horizon!

Hi. Since I played the indie-title VVVVVV I wanted to remix the great chip-tune »Passion for Exploring«,but for a long time I wasn’t sure about the style. After trying different ideas I stumbled across an old Logic-project were I tried to make an original trance-song in 7/8, which was never finished. I took the main chords from it, changed them to 4/4 and they fitted the melody of »Passion for Exploring« quite well. These chords ended up in the buildup at the middle of the remix and defined the basis for a really powerful and energetic remix.

I've always wanted to do a Cuphead cover, and especially Railroad Wrath (which used to be my favorite track from the game before the DLC came along) which I always envisioned as a dark, creepy, sort of melancholic but also heavy as fuck song, representing the passing of the train of the dead. It also ended up being quite bouncy (as commented by the project lead: "makes me want to dance and headbang at the same time"). BadHairlineProductions did the bass this time, and he actually recorded THREE basses: the bass through most of the song is double-tracked (!) with two different bass tones, while a third one was used for a fantastic bass solo (!!!). Ian Martyn was responsible for all the piano parts, including all the accompaniment and also a killer improvised piano solo in the first half. Daniel Romberger is what you would call the "guest musician" on the track, you'll probably know him best as the Trombonist for The Game Brass, however, this time he has joined me for an improvised Theremin solo! I did all the arrangement, sequencing, mixing, and guitar playing. Lastly, even though they're not part of the specific submission (I mastered this version myself), I want to credit the team behind the album where this was included: - Production: Hashel (https://open.spotify.com/artist/3S3WG...) - Mastering: Erika Richards (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6xxdfWO4IdAGOzjTWLpB8g) - Artwork: Troisnyx (https://www.troisnyx.co.uk/) Link to the full album: https://fanlink.to/TheLittleOnes

Remixer: LXE Name: Alexis Gelinas Email: Website: instagram.com/lexadex_yo 38753 -- Donkey Kong Country Rhythm of the Waves Aquatic Ambience I was inspired by the Djole drum song, and senegalese drumming in general. I used west african instruments like the kora and marimba and kalimba to flesh out the melody and a synth pad to give everything body. I really wanted to give this arrangement a different treatment than the styles I usually hear and I felt like these instruments would bring a new life to it. -- Alexis Gelinas

Inspired by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno's works on tape looping, I decided to make a rendition of Freya's Theme that transcends the realms of music, a song that goes through the listener's ears and brings him upon a floating cloud of noise.The instruments blend with the song as the track goes on and becomes one with the universe's essence. The track is named after a Freya move in the game, called Dragon's Crest. It is a very powerful attack and only the most skilled and dedicated players can learn how to achieve it. Speaking of Freya, she is one of my favorite characters from the FF series, her story is tragic yet with a glimpse of hope, and I also like her music theme and I thought to myself "why not make a remix of that cool track?" I hope you enjoy it, and have a nice day!

Hi there! I have been a long time fan of ocremix.org and would be honoured to have this VGM remix of mine considered: Submission Information: Name of games arranged: Dynamite Headdy Name of arrangement: Mushy Metal Aura Headd Name of individual songs arranged: Hustle Maruyama (parts 1 & 2) I made this as a Christmas present for my fiance last year (but ended up spending the last 9 months trying to get the mix to sound better haha). I think Hustle Maruyama is listed as 1 song on ocremix but sometimes it's listed as a two part song. My goal with this song was to arrange it in my own style but still be very recognisable. The style I have been working with in the last few years mixes chiptune and VGM influences with IDM, breakcore, prog rock and power metal.

RebeccaETripp Rebecca Tripp https://www.youtube.com/@RebeccaETripp/videos ID: 48262 Game(s): Tears of the Kingdom Song Title: Sacred Core Songs Remixed: The Depths: Lightroot Here's a link to the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTXuDpRU4Co Here's a link to the file: This is my arrangement of the "Lightroot" theme from Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. The original track, while very minimal is one of my favourite themes in the game. It's a neat one! Kind of like Nocturne of Shadow and its ilk - sacred, but "dark" in its orientation. I wanted to enhance the "sacred" feeling that occurs when Link alights the shrine roots in the underworld. To me, the lightroots might be the most beautiful and interesting thing about TotK. Link repeatedly dives into the abyss, wherein he simultaneously purifies himself, and his kingdom from within. I tried to make this song sound like it was overflowing with with minerals, soil and fluids, insects, darkness and light. I've tried my best! :3 I've given equivalent timestamps. Both tracks go on longer, but for each, I've stopped after the original loop. My version plays with this theme for another couple minutes, but it actually does the "main loop" twice (just more spaced out, and with some fun harmonies and an outro changes to emphasize its sacred aspect). I hope this is helpful!

Hey VGM fam! This is one of my older remixes I did back in 2015. For some reason, I thought I submitted it a bit after I submitted my Sky Chase Zone remix, but I can't seem to find a submission email , so I'm assuming I got distracted and forgot. Just a heads up: I did end up releasing this song, along with a few other remixes on streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube Music, so I'm not sure if that would disqualify my submission or not. I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules, but I understand if this one can't be posted on OCR As for the remix: This is my Bollywood inspired remix of the Oil Ocean Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I used a mix of Middle Eastern and Asian samples to create the overall flow, and I heavily modified some sound fonts to create the background layers. The plucking sample in the background is actually a soundfont pad that I filtered and added gating effects to. And As I do with most of my remixes, I snuck in an small "audio Easter Egg" from another game, but I don't think anyone has caught it so far. Thanks for listening, and I hope y'all enjoy.

Your ReMixer name: Troyificus Your real name: Troy Plain Your email address: Your website(s): troyificus.bandcamp.com Your userid: 24839 Name of game arranged: Ristar Name of arrangement: Ice Star Name of individual song arranged: Planet Freon - Ring Rink (Round 5-1) This was made for An OverClocked Christmas v.XVII, however for me it's a track several years in the (theoretical) making. I've always wanted to make a remix of this song, as it's my favorite from a criminally overlooked OST on a game that has mostly been forgotten, likely due to it releasing towards the end of the Mega Drive / Genesis lifecycle. Ristar is just a fun, straight-forward platformer and the music totally reflects that. There's a joyous, triumphant feel to every song on the OST that perfectly reflects the themed level it's assigned to. And to me, Ring Rink feels like Christmas (the sleigh bells help, I'm sure). So for years I've sporadically picked up this source and tried to do something with it, but never managed to make anything worth pursuing. Until this year when, for some reason, it all came together. This will mark the second time I've ever submitted a track to the judges panel (the first one failed, then was rescued by the wonderful Jorito and Chimpazilla for the Terranigma album. I was going by Trism in those days!) so I'm rather nervous as to how this is going to be received. Thanks for your time!

Solid combination of themes; the tradeoffs provided some good textural and dynamic contrast. With such a thorough source usage breakdown, I just needed to quickly see that it made sense and then enjoy the production. Good meat to the beats here and a spacious soundscape throughout. You can just chill out to this. YES

Loads of great arrangement ideas in there; this never stays in one place and explores the source theme incredibly well. Production felt impactful, loads of good sound design, and the overall mixing was spacious and clean. Great job by VQ & Rockos! YES
