OCR04953 - *YES* Chrono Trigger "Five More, Nevermore"
Liontamer replied to Liontamer's topic in Judges Decisions
I liked the ominousness of the lightly warbling bassline, which subtly added a feel to this that I've never heard in a "Corridor of Time" arrangement until now. Instrumentation choices are nice, particularly the sustained strings (which would be awesome to hear done live). Lots of subtle textural trickery going on that fans of this theme will absolutely love. Right at 3:00, "Schala's Theme" arrived for some interplay with the backing of the main theme. For me personally, the string writing's my 1A feature, but the whole thing is a restrained yet dynamic treat. Great ingredients, but also cooked up by a great chef. :-) YES -
Artist Name: Azina Summer is a time of nostalgic memories, and the original version of Lazy Afternoons perfectly represents that. But Roxas' life was only 1 year and 7 days long. My arrangement opens after that, in the last moments of his life. The piano holds the tonic, G, in the bass as often as I could get away with as an expression of Roxas' desire for things to stay the same. My guitar work in the first half is merely the melody reprised on guitar. In the second half, I offer two harmonies that follow the melody strictly; the intent is to musically illustrate what could have been had Roxas, Xion, and Axel been able to have their own summer. As well, the arrangement opens up to accent strings and a soft, pulsing synth to support the three primary parts. The title itself is a reference to Lizz Robinett's lyrical adaptation released in 2016. Games & Sources Game: Kingdom Hearts 2 Composer: Yoko Shimomura Youtube:

Artist Name: Pipko Fanfare I love how the original source really captures the awe and majesty of coming face to face with infinity, and wanted to recreate that feeling with a cinematic orchestral take on it. The arrangement for this one came together quickly but production was more involved since I had very specific ideas of how I wanted everything to sound. Getting the dynamics just right on both the micro and macro level was going to be critical to this piece's success, as was subtle tempo automation to let the rhythm breathe properly.

Artist Name: RJ Van Xetten D.A.W. Used: FL Studio 2024 Plug-In's used: Spire, Serum 2, Sylenth1, and Fab Filter suite for Mastering, along with other native VST's within FL Studio Original NES composition by Yoko Osaka - Shyron Town Theme Remix Arrangement produced by Rigoberto Lopez Jr(A.K.A - RJ Van Xetten) Games & Sources This is my rendition of the Shyron Town in Crystalis. When I first played this game as a child this song was one of the most memorable pieces in the whole game, and it stuck with me always. Once I became a music producer I always wanted to make my own rendition of it. This is my "Techno Festival" rendition of it. I hope you all enjoy it!

On headphones, this sounds extremely fuzzy and lossy throughout. From what I get back using AI-identifying tools, this person's catalog is AI-generated. Don't have the cycles to entertain this. I don't consider AI-generated music to be arranged by the submitter, so to me it always fails OCR's ownership test. We need to add big honking text on the submission form itself saying we don't accept A.I. Human-made (i.e. human-sequenced and/or human-performed) music, please. NO

Will need a unique title if approved -LT Original Decision Artist Name: Zach Chapman Features Earth Kid on lead vocals, Gregorio Franco (who doesn't have an artist page on OCR yet) doing the harsh vocals, themanpf on guitars, and jnWake (also no artist page) on synths and keys. This song was made for Dwelling of Duels' April 2025 Rhythm Games Month. Originally this track was going to be even more faithful to the original, but I only know one female singer who can also do great harsh vocals and she was too busy that month to collab, so instead I split the vocals up between the leads and the growls, landing on Earth Kid and Gregorio for each, who are both fantastic. The other shift in the song's direction came mostly from jnWake, who took the keyboard parts I sent him and added several synths without ever being asked. Anytime you hear a synth in the song - echoing the intro riff, in the background of the interlude, the synth solo before the third chorus - is all stuff that he did entirely himself. That helped to give the track its own identity, and I love what it added to the song. TheManPF killed it on guitars as always, and also put up with me sending him about 20 different drafts of the mix for feedback over the course of the month, as I'm still pretty awful at the production side of things. Other than that it's a largely faithful cover, with some minor changes to the guitars, and more major additions to the drums and bass (which I played). Since the last submission I've made a whole lot of changes to the production that I won't list out because there's too many, most of it isn't interesting, and I've forgotten half of it by now. But it should sound better. Also some more stuff added to the drums, like the ride cymbal during choruses to keep the beat. Shoutout to Seph for letting me bounce a few mixes off him for some final changes - during which I learned what sidechaining was, so that's neat. Games & Sources This is a cover of "Stygia" from the rhythm shooter Metal: Hellsinger, composed and performed by Two Feathers, the developers of the game, featuring Alissa White-Gluz, the lead singer of the metal band Arch Enemy.

Artist Name: ZackParrish Synonymous with the theme of time, this track is exactly 5 minutes long, and each tick is exactly one second apart. It has been a while since I've done a theme purely for myself with no destination in mind. It's not an entry for a contest, it's just 5 minutes of raw emotion. In the turbulent times we live in, sometimes we just need to take 5 minutes to close our eyes, and let our minds wander off and forget the world. Drift away for 300 seconds and let your mind be at peace. Games & Sources Corridors of Time and Schala's Theme from Chrono Trigger

Artist Name: Rick Hurricane The original track is actually very short. Less than half a minute. But the main melody is so gripping and mysterious that it's been stuck in my head for decades. I've expanded the track to be two minutes in length, so it plays four times in total. I have sampled the main melody and some accompanying chord stings directly from the original source. I have recorded new drums using SNW to give it an 80s cyberpunk / post punk sound. I used Genny to record new bass with added oomph. Added a new melody for sections 2 and 4 using RYM2612. Section 3 eschews the main melody for a keyboard solo. This is also done with RYM2612 using the 16bit Organ setting - which sounds a lot like Bo's original instrument for the main melody.

Artist Name: Cruzayder The characters of Sherma and Shakra sing little songs when you encounter them in the game. It is believed that the voiceover artists improvised them on the spot, and they do not seem to be credited anywhere, so I am not sure who to officially name as the original artist. It is not the music of the game score composer, Christopher Larkin. This is a sort of "psy-dnb" parody of Sherma's song, but Shakra's voice is also present a few times. There may be a Shakra song remix at another time if people enjoy this one. There is also a youtube video for this. If you really like the remix, I would appreciate if you'd go watch the video version as well, rate, comment, etc since it has been difficult for me to get on the algorithm there.
