  3. Artist Name: Matt's Keys This remix is inspired by synthwave and rock music styles. I tried to remain faithful to the source material while adding some new elements, including a keyboard solo and additional guitar melodies. Games & Sources Source tune: "Under the Stars" from Final Fantasy Tactics. Original soundtrack composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata. YouTube link:

  5. Artist Name: 8055 LEVEL Since I was a kid, I always wanted to hear a more aggressive dance version of the music from the encounter with Benny and Clyde in River City Ransom. That music always got me pumped up and made me want to shake my ass. I tried to lean into that feeling when writing $3.50 x 2... I avoided using too many SFX from the game in my remix, or doing a whole lot of post-production to tweak effects, with the exception of the coin sounds at the end. Otherwise, this was all produced on my Yahama RM1x. Hope you like it! Games & Sources River City Ransom on NES.
  6. I’m with it, although the beat pattern quickly plodded, so I would have loved more variety with that part of the writing. Not as fluid and developed as many of Wake past works, but that’s a much higher bar than OCR’s; otherwise, this was solid, and a nice squeezing of juice out of such a quick cue. :-) YES

  10. Just following up on this, the song was only referenced for 2 bars sung by the Pikmin in Pikmin 2 as an Easter egg, but the full song was used verbatim as a stage theme for SSBB, so we'll actually associate this with Brawl. :-)
  11. Diggin' the piano at 2:36, and then we get bwomp chicka sweetness along with added string synths at 2:44; fun little detour before going back to rocking out. Hitting the melody with the synth lead for the finish was the perfect nostalgia cap on this one. Just a fun treatment throughout with Jabo and Ivan adding tons of textural depth, and all the requisite Wake synth spices that bring forth life. :-D YES
  12. Artist Name: RHYTH_TWISTED Sonic The Hedgehog and Jet Set Radio's OSTs are huge influences on how I make music, so I hope that shines through with this! Games & Sources Mario Kart 7 Song: Wario Shipyard / Wario's Galleon Composers: Kenta Nagata & Satomi Terui Year: 2011
  13. Artist Name: Gaspode I always wanted to remix the classic title theme from »Metroid« in all its glory. As with many of my remixes I incorporated another theme to keep things interesting, and after i realized that the title screen from »Metroid« shows a planet surface, i chose the main melody from the »Tallon Overworld«-theme from »Metroid Prime«, because thats another planet-overworld-theme. And it fitted the style very well. Games & Sources Metroid – Title Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-U3sVX2G3w Original Score by Hirokazu Tanaka Metroid Prime – Tallon Overworld Depths (1:12) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgwGYmAH0BA Original Score by Kenji Yamamoto and Kouichi Kyuma
  14. Artist Name: Eltwish This whole track came about all because of the silly title. I've long been a fan of the Japanese jazz-rock trio Fox Capture Plan. Some five or so years ago it happened to occur to me that Star Fox Capture Plan would be a great name for Star Fox music arranged in the style of a Fox Capture Plan tune. This year I decided I still really liked the idea and it was time to finally try it. 疾走する閃光 and Acceleration are a couple songs from FCP that might give a good sense of what I was going for. It was tricky to arrange a characteristically melodic, narratively unfolding Kondo piece in their style, which tends to feature repeated arpeggio-centric grooves and somewhat minimal melodic material. I started with a simple reharmonization of the main theme from the credits (comes in at 0:27 in the linked source video), and used that harmony as the basis for some arpeggiated riffing and a solo section. Of course, I soon realized that using a reharm as the main structural element meant I often didn't really have any of the source present, so in addition to the sections where the right hand quotes the theme, I added a couple sections drawing on the source more explicitly. The first is the more mellow synth melody at 0:54, which echoes the light piccolo-lead part at 0:41 in the source. The other is the spacey section at 1:56, where the bass comes in playing the oboe (?) theme from source 1:25. Much like the source, this then drifts into a more downtempo open section which gradually builds back into the theme restatement and energetic conclusion, in part by way of the main Star Fox theme (used in the credits at 2:53). So the whole arrangement roughly follows the structure of the original, if not very transparently. I've wanted to make something for OC Remix since I first found the site over 20 years ago. I took a stab at it every few years since then, but only in the last year or so have I started focusing more seriously on music and finally put together something I feel good about submitting. Whatever the result, I'm sure it won't be my last submission. I'd like to extend my gratitutde to 744 and Josh Winiberg, who gave me feedback on a draft on the Discord channel. This project was a big challenge for me in terms of drum programming and mixing, both areas where I've felt I have little clue what I'm doing. Their encouragement convinced me to submit my work, and their mixing advice was indispensable for getting this to sound more like FCP and less like the piano was underwater. Games & Sources The material for this remix comes from the ending credits theme from Star Fox 64. The intro fanfare is based on "All Clear", the completion theme of the last level, which in-game leads right into the credits. Both were composed by Koji Kondo.

  22. Artist Name: Seriance Hello there, hope you enjoy my submission. It's my first finished project in a while, so be nice lmao As far as references go, there's an adaptation of a theme song from the Pokemon anime around the 2:40 mark. You'll recognise it when you hear it:) Games & Sources Music: "Lake" Composer: Go Ichinose Game: Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl
