    Star Wars: The Musical

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi all, long time no post,
     
    Just wanted to share this with you all since I thought you might get a kick out of it. In light of the recent Star Wars acquisition by Disney, my friend and composer extraordinaire George Shaw made a Disney/Star Wars mash-up called "Star Wars: The Musical" that is pretty damn well-done and funny.

     

    You can check it out at the website:

    Hope you likey

     

    OCRA-0023 - Pokémon: The Missingno Tracks

    in Album Reviews & Comments

    Posted

    I thought it would be appropriate to post these in the review thread, so everyone knows just what they're getting themselves into:

    I know OCR albums tend to be a bit hit & miss, but My Greatest Rival is one of the most goddawful 'songs' I've ever heard.
    Also, if you're going to download the .zip, delete My Greatest Rival. S***'s garbage.
    Essa My greatest Rival começou épica pra caralho, aí veio um truta cantando e fodeu a porra toda.

    [Rough translation: "My Greatest Rival started out epic as hell, and then a singing trout came in and f***d everything up."]

    My Greatest Rival is atrocious if only for the fuckawful vocals
    Fourth track has both over-long intro with no relevance or tonal/melodic coherence with the rest of the track and vocals from people who aren't good at singing! That's double for your money! (lyrics are also terribles)

    [And why
    would
    you listen to the intro carefully if it makes you want to hurl?]

    Disc 1, Track 4, immediately deleted. Probably the worst OCR song I've ever heard. But I'm sure it'll probably be the most popular with the tweeny-group just for saying 'bigger pokeballs' repeatedly. It's bland, the rythm feels way off, most of the lyrics are incredibly bland and predictable...it's just a chore to listen to, and worse, it's a good song in Soul Silver, so it's very disappointing to hear it being completely ripped apart so early in the album. I get the feeling they really built the song entirely on trying to get a giggle out of saying 'bigger pokeballs' and forgot to actually make the song something you can listen to.

    [Guilty!]

    I've been compiling these on my blog because I draw strength from their ire ^^

    If you see more, let me know.

    ATTN: Orchestra Composers/Remixers — Need A Demo?

    Standard doublings

    Flute->Piccolo

    Oboe->English Horn

    Clarinet->Bass Clarinet

    etc.

    It's not that weird, it's a little brass-heavy but I did that so I can get some work in writing for all the brass instruments.

    Basic orchestration dictates that you need 2 horns to balance with 1 trumpet or 1 trombone at forte.

    2 oboes are very capable of blending with 2 flutes. Typical orchestra a due will have 2 of each type of woodwind. Often 2nd oboe will play an English horn part so maybe that will take care of your balance issues.

    It's a 4-hour session and I've meted out 20 minutes of finished material, so 5 minutes/hour or about 12 minutes/minute. I've been assured it is doable so long as the material submitted isn't too difficult, which I noted on the auction page.

    I chose the instruments to go with my own scores that I'm having performed at the session. It was recommended me as a good set of instruments to at least get your feet wet writing for all the instruments, while keeping costs down not hiring a complete 65-piece orchestra.

    Hey guys & gals!

    I wanted to extend this offer to you all. I booked a session with a 54-piece orchestra and I don't need all of the studio time that I booked, so I'm trying to sell off the extra produced minutes to make it more affordable for everybody.

    I know there are some aspiring orchestrators around here, and here's your chance to get one of your compositions or remixes recorded live for a very reasonable price.

    Please check out the eBay listing if you are interested for more details:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230551555128

    And direct any questions at me through the auction page.

    Oh and move quick, because I need the scores and parts by Friday night.

    Thank you!

    Zombie Blood Chaos Soundtrack

    in Post Your Original Music!

    Hey guys!

    I did the soundtrack/score for a silly student zombie film earlier this year, and with Halloween just around the corner, we just put the music up for free streaming online.

    I thought I'd share the link with you guys just in case anyone wanted to check it out. The stream is available from the movie's myspace page:

    http://www.myspace.com/zombiebloodchaos

    It's pretty eclectic, so you can browse around until you find something you like. Hope you guys enjoy it!

    Number muncher!

    EDIT: Damn and I totally thought I was the first one to think of that. I can do the troggles easily too I just need opinions on which background color to use (the original is black so that's easiest)

    LT: They're all good. Thanks for Muncher and the Troggles, Jared. Took all of them with the black background.

    I can't believe that everyone is still talking about the halftime show. Didn't anyone watch the game? Didn't anyone else notice that before almost every play, the center would bend over and then the quarterback would walk up and stand behind him in a sexually suggestive way? All I know is if I were a parent, I would be really afraid of my kids turning gay from watching that. Football needs to be stopped.

    I've been going to this forum for several years and i love it but...

    Amount of wealth ≠ Quality of music

    If that statement were true, I'd be a regular listener to mainstream radio.

    Ziwtra's a shining example of this. He used the free SoundTracker, and then the $70 tracker Renoise.

    Ok let me clarify my point. I do not get paid for doing VG projects. I do get paid for other projects, therefore they are higher priority and I spend more time on them. So I can eat.

    When I do a VG project, I'm doing it as a favor, to give back, because I like the community, and I like the music. It's not usually my very best work though because I don't have that much extra time to work on it usually.

    So it's silly to sit around and bitch about the quality of music on a site where people are donating their time and sweat. Go outside. Support music that you do like. There's a lot of local music that can use your support.
