It will be the 1st song on disc 2, if I ever make that, since disc 1 ends with it introing in. Isn't there a method of using a .cue file in order to be able to skip to certain sections of this long-ass MP3?

VGRemix Community - Aural Pulchritude (Audity Megamix) - Disc 1 MP3 FLAC Like the name implies, this incorporates songs from OCR, VGMIX, and elsewhere, that have a pretty aura of atmosphere about them, in one way or another, and are transitioned between each other in interesting ways (hopefully). Its inspiration formed whilst I drove down an evacuate highway, enjoying the full moon on the night of the recent lunar eclipse---its provided luminescense purifying the prevalent, dark nighttime paint cast by the universe's shadow. ...All of this while listening to the song represented in this mix's first track. Disc 2 might take a slightly different approach, towards the dark(er) side; I'm unsure. I have a list of song names, times, and artists below. Order

I think it would be neat to hear people's rendition of this song should they choose to arrange it. It is a really simple yet good song, so many people could attempt it. Here is the original song. Here is my attempt, and I barely know how to play the piano: I didn't have a composition in mind, so it's practically improvisation. Maybe it will inspire someone to start a remix.

Really nice chords on the pads. Definitely do more with this.

The really short ending chord is how I intended to close it. I didn't change many velocities at all, or do anything to add expression, since it was originally going to be something I could make sheet music with. But thanks for the opinion. I might try something more with it.

I stayed up all night working on this, since it's my favorite song from the game. Original Song My Arrangement There's one note I want to put in towards the end, but who cares; I'll put it in some other time. I started out just wanting to create notes for a simple piano arrangement that I could make sheet music to and play on the piano, but I started going too crazy. I didn't spend much time getting a good piano sound, but it sounds alright, anyway. I don't really think any parts are that messy or random except possibly the last couple of measures leading into the highest-octave-piano part. After experimenting throughout the whole piece, this end result is a sound I am pleased with. I wonder if it's OCR-material. I'd be really surprised if it is; the arrangement is there, but sound quality might be bad? Sounds fine to me! It's less than 2 minutes long, but it seems like a really long song to me, even so.

After thinking about possible other methods...laparoscopy is the best. I had an inguinal (groin) hernia surgery on my right side in December, but I was in and out the same day. Appendicitis sounds worse in ways, considering it took multiple days. The pain right when I woke up from surgery was completely unbearable. I never hear people say that it's like that, but it was in my situation, for whatever reason (maybe the stitches). Eyes were shut and all I remember was lying down, actually lifting my whole lower body up with my upper back and feet and turning myself from side to side; maybe the lifting up part is exaggerated, but that is what I remember it as. I think the pain "subsided" to a more bearable state soon enough, either before or after they gave me painkiller to drink. I couldn't lift stuff and all that jazz as well. Couldn't even pee for awhile, due to PUS or something, even though I was supposed to. Painful processes. Recovery in a week sounds alright. It took me that long before I could really do much. I got 3 cuts for the surgery, and only the bellybutton one is really "noticable", if you count a small red and white line as being such. The others are really small and covered by MAN HAIR. Also, if you don't take showers you'll end up getting really sweaty in certain places and that is not comfortable later on due to rashes. Experiences. Then again I couldn't stand up at all without feeling the pain of a thousand worlds, for several days. (I had the hernia since childhood, so I wonder if the procedure would have been suckier if I didn't put it off for so long, though I did put myself at greater risk by doing so since inguinal hernias can be fatal if left alone and a constriction problem arises. Mine was "minor" enough to not matter as much, I think. I can't believe I went most of my life like that. They have to bring up this lower part of the abdominal wall that rips during the initial occurrance of the hernia and stitch it up with the upper part.)

You have to pay for it.

Weird that you didn't think it works as a real ending. I got a suggestion to slow down the tempo, but I don't have a problem with ending it in such a fashion. I'll still give it some more thought. The key changes were really random, yes. I still think I need to change the bassline, and especially the melody, somewhat, during the finale (before the piano-solo ending happens) to fit with the completely new involvements I gave the song by introducing those samples. I don't know what to do to make it longer, though. Maybe playing with the bassline would give me ideas on how to do that.

NO DRUMS!! I took a gander inside my Silent Hill folder, clicked on Not Tomorrow which I'd already heard a dozen times, and somehow got inspiration to arrange it. About a quarter of my way through I felt like sneaking in a part of this other song from GRANDIA II called Granas Sanctuary. So here's an arrangement of Not Tomorrow (Lisa's Death) and Granas Sanctuary. I've also included the original songs. http://www.escaprism.org/audity/Not%20Tomorrow%20(arranged).rar The climax at the end is a little strange with all the stuff going on. The version of NT in the rar is from the OST, which is not the whole song. If you don't mind seeing something really bloody and disgusting from the game, you can hear the parts I also arranged in THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO. No, wait, I found something better. It's someone playing it on the piano. Oh...hey...look at that bassline at the end. I guess I didn't do something like that!!! Sounds fine, anyway. I played with the melody, instead. OKAY SHUT UP AND DOWNLOAD edit: I'm guessing I could change the bassline here and there. I'm guessing others will agree, but feedback is great. Don't think I'd submit to OCR as it is.

One of my favorite mixes on the site. I agree with the above post. So well-structured. Don't really like the direction at 2:27, but that's the only part "bad" about this song.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/vyxnvr mirror Since its first incarnation, I always felt this song made me feel "stuck" in some place. I guess it's penultimate since there'll probably be only one more major improvement if I ever get to working on this again. I guess you could say this is a decent test of some of the immediate loops present in the Reason 3 library via the Combinator device. (Actually, everything you hear is from a Combinator). Much of the progression is based off the rhythm and pitch of the "Lantern" loop that you hear in the beginning and ending. The song is a bit random in places, like with the ending, and the bells in the 2nd+3rd sections, and some of the monk chants. Though if you really want to know about random, the wood-blocky offbeat melody carrier in the last section is full of it. Every time you press the key it's a random rhythm and pitch. I've tried to make a couple game remixes (Xenosaga III, FF12, SMRPG), but never finished any of them, so I thought I'd put this here! The main reason I'm creating music is because I found this site all those years ago, anyway. On an off note, you could say the sound of this piece is inspired by the sounds of Silent Hill, but there are other reasons, too.

I love being thread killer! Just found this and thought it was pretty...perfect for workout music.

Never give up!

there was a thread just like this back months ago. seems like yesterday! I posted a shitload of OCRs in it, though I could probably shorten it down a lot now. No idea if the thread still exists! How about some DDR or Beatmania IIDX.

For people looking to broaden their horizons outside of VGMusic, I figured a decent number of people here would enjoy this shoutcast station. I would occasionally listen to the different genres provided on the site "digitally imported", but overall I wouldn't really find anything worth keeping. With this station, I've already written down like 5 songs I want to check out in better quality. Someone I know recommended it to me. I'm not affiliated with it in any way and just thought I'd share. The featured content is usually either a mix between Aphex Twin style splicing, beats, and effects, with something more coherent, ambiance with electronic elements, or just something you've never heard before. A few tracks here and there will be dull or what have you (surprisingly this number is small...sometimes), but I recommend sticking around for awhile. Go to Winamp, click the round small-ish button that says ML, scroll down to Shoutcast Radio, and then do a search for Limbik Frequencies. Let me know if someone knows another way to listen to this station without needing Winamp.

I'm uploading a rar of 28 songs from VGMix 2.0 (includes some information about each song/artist that I quickly typed up in a txt document). I'll PM you with the link when it's done.

VGMix currently doesn't have anything hosted. I'm not sure where you could get some songs except people sending them to you which I can do yay

Sounds EXACTLY like Akira Yamaoka's work from the Silent Hill series, but on acid, and less song-like. Seems like I really need to be familiar with the source tune to really understand this song. Without knowing anything about the source, it seems like there could be more to this. Needs to have more flowing progression IMO; I love Akira's work, so on one hand I like this song, but that also sets the bar pretty high for me for the other hand (completely different game and artist, but this song is just so similar). Okay I'm starting to like it more now. Maybe a lot. Not for thinking about too much, but just enjoying the soundzzz (very familiar ones to me so yay).

No, it isn't. Make sure you specify that the VGScene is all about implementing any kind of genre, and so to be ready for anything. ...Unless you're looking for one genre. Stuff with energy is sure to appeal to most, but I've provided some otherwise songs, too.

SUPRISE! http://www.escaprism.org/audity/Japanese%20Doujins.torrent Don't worry it's only 16.5 gigs worth. I didn't make it myself. Just something I found...somewhere. I'm nearing 50%

A bit underdeveloped, but I quite like the crunchy sound of the beats. They're pretty well done for being so repetitive (but they really should do some more things than going constantly "up and down" like that, if you know what I mean). I guess I wanted a not-so-genre-changing style, but that's more of a subconscious thing; the truth of the matter is some of these songs are getting old (just from overlistening---still doesn't change what I like about them musically) and could use some new styles anyway! And it's always nice to hear different renditions of songs that you enjoy (since it makes me reflect back and forth between the original and the remix), especially when it's something pretty new while at the same time being something I'm used to. I'm used to my OCRs sounding something like this The too-loud quality of the guitar thing at the beginning kind of reminds me of how the original intentionally sounds of old quality. Something more could be done with those strings. I don't know. It has quite a bit of potential. Maybe I'll come back later and comment some more.
