He had chosen a music style I was not familiar with, and I had never played the Brain Age games, so gathering inspiration from the various reference tracks he had at his disposal and working with him to combine it with the quirky source material was both a fun and challenging new experience. We each brought our own ideas to the table, and kept feeding off each other to create new ones together. Out of our back and forth collaboration we created what I believe is a truly unique arrangement that would not have been possible for either of us to do alone, and the performers took it one step further and really gave the track its own life.> TSori: Initially I had guessed there wouldn't be any requests for a trumpet collab on this album, so I thought I had better claim a track if I wanted to do more than direct it. Brain Age was a game I remember spending a lot time, with so, I thought I'd give that a try. Because the Brain Age sources don't have much in the way of melody it seemed like a good idea good to arrange it in a more rhythmically-driven style. I was an avid locker (funkstyle street dance) when I was at university, so I patterned the arrangement after the kind of music I danced to then. It turned out I couldn't have been more wrong about how many collab requests I'd get. Combine that with work, and pretty soon, I was swamped with neither the time nor creative bandwidth to finish the arrangement I started. I reached out to Flake who I had collaborated with several times before and know to be basically boundlessly creative. Thankfully, he was available and interested. So I sent him what I had started writing out, and talked him through what I was going for. He framed out the other 70% or so of the track right away and we started trading a draft arrangement back and forth, building on each other's ideas tii we had a full score. This was a truly collaborative arrangement. In fact our "complete" score had only placeholders for all of the percussion, guitar and bass. Sean Hanson, Andrew, Kalen, and Myuik essentially wrote their own parts in the track in addition to providing superb performances. I always try to do as much of a track as possible with live performers, and for this genre I think it was essential. That meant it was going to be a very big collab. There are a lot of familiar names from my previous OCR outings, and several new ones. They all turned in stellar performances on what is, at points, a deceptively tricky arrangement to perform. Some of those string licks are quite tough, but KestrelGirl, Anime Vivi, ViolinGamer, optimizasean, and ChromaticApparatus delivered great performances. PocketCrow answered the call for mixing, and though I had never worked with him before, he impressed the heck out of me with the quality of his work and his understanding of how to balance the ensemble. Zmand97 and iCrescendo, on piano and saxes, respectively, carried almost all of the source melody throughout the track. Their performances are the core of the ReMix and they both gave the track exactly what it needed to both be a familiar BrainAge tune as well as something new. Flake and I rounded out the ensemble as the brass section, with Flake putting his Trombone skills on display, and me getting an excuse to dust off my old lead jazz mouthpiece and put it to use again. This is the album version of the track so we owe our thanks for mastering this track and the album as a whole to Zack Parrish Hope you all enjoy "Think on Your Feet"!

Your ReMixer name: ThePlasmas Your real name: Mauricio Castro Your email address: Your website(s): https://linktr.ee/theplasmasvgm Your userid: 30081 Name of game(s) arranged: Perfect Dark Name of arrangement: Datadyne Global HQ Name of individual song(s) arranged: Datadyne Central: Defection Additional information about the game: Graeme Norgate, N64. Link to the original soundtrack: Your own comments about the mix: I loved GoldenEye 64 so much that I really wanted a sequel. However, when the 007 franchise was taken by another studio, and then RARE announced the beginning of a new franchise called "Perfect Dark," I just couldn't let it pass. I almost begged my mom to buy it. She liked the design of the protagonist and watched me play the game every chance she could. This song was recorded to participate in the "Summer of 64" event produced by GameGrooves, available here: https://theplasmasvgm.bandcamp.com/album/64-ways-to-die

This song is the first third of a much longer water medley I composed for youtube. This is sort of a fun submission for me because this part of the medley coincidentally comprises of three different themes I once submitted to you guys a long time ago that got rejected.

Definitely started with samples that were too exposed, e.g. blocky piano and then the bowed strings, so I was thinking this wouldn't be solid enough and mentally had my NO vote on standby. At :25 though, things took a more energetic turn and continued to shift from there, sometimes going more diminuitive like with the pizz strings, then a goofy feel with the organ and mallet percussion. Good textural changes to maintain the freshness of the presentation. Sonically, it could be refined, so while I'm not quite borderline, I can understand coming out of it. For me, the solid instrumentation coupled with the dynamic variations carries it! YES

Artist Name: Spad3s I cannot believe I haven't submitted this one yet! A Smart Race remix turned deltarune medley, with a heavy focus on smart race. One of my best remixes I think, constantly evolving and staying interesting and throwing motifs and genres at you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! :D I always enjoy taking VGM and turning into other genres :) Games & Sources Deltarune Smart race Berdly Queen Pandora Palace BIG SHOT Chaos King A CYBERS WORL'D? Undertale Megalovania Don't starve together Don't starve together main theme - this one really isn't noticeable in any way unless you're a die hard fan of SPECIFICALLY the theme, but the last piano part of the remix uses the chords from the theme :) thought it was worth a mention.

Artist Name: Chromatic Walnut This is a roots-rock quartet arrangement of "Theme of Love." Games & Sources "Theme of Love," Final Fantasy IV (Nobuo Uematsu)

Artist: SEFAR I have try to interprete this beautifull and melancholic track with a massive industriel / electronical approach that reflete the deepest of what frostpunk is talking about : a blind run to death and deshumanisation. I'have try to keep the melancolia of the original but to bring it power and more cinematographic sound illustration : like sound of broken ice, industriel mechanism, fire shoot, broken glass of drunken a man and dictator speech. There is a piano and a full set of industriel drums, soundscapes and many others details that i have created. Also, the record speech of a famous dictator for illustrated a major theme of frostpunk : insecurity leads to authoritarianism and fanaticism. "We don't need hope anymore" is a word from a caracter in the game at some point. At the end we don't don't who is kill : the one rebel's or the the dictator himself. The piano is sometime pushing simply the main melody, especialy at the begining, but then it's going in another direction, more ryhmical and maybe in a bite "jazzy" way. I hope it's bring some melodical complexity to the track. The end is voluntary more radical than the original track, because i think my interpretation is more radical in a way that there where no need to continued over the strings decrescendo. I sincerely hope you will enjoy this remix. Antoine DRAï Games & Sources The original Soundtrack came from the Frostpunk main theme ( Track 1 form the OST ), composed by Piotr Musiał.
