Yep, I made the vid and animation, minus the Other M footage at the end. Hehe, well I can do website design though it's not my preferred work, and at the moment I have a few projects to finish up but perhaps in the near future I can look into helping you out with a site. At a mere cost of 99 rupees plus 10 Gold Skulltula Tokens.

I enjoyed your track quite a lot Though admittedly I have a bit of a soft spot for piano solos. And also, how dare you insult Disney by referencing my ending music like that! When I think Disney, I think Hans Zimmer... hehe Speaking of the Ending Suite though, I uploaded it to Youtube with a bit of video. I posted this already (http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=36378) but I figured I'd mention it here too

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I guess I'll post it here. I uploaded a video version of the Ending Suite to Youtube, nothing much just a film-ish edit with some footage and etc. For anyone who's interested: I'm working on another vid for The Green World track, with actual CG animation as an intro, just for fun and lulz and whatnot. Anywho, would be happy to know what y'all think -Sam

Thanks for the comments everyone! This song was actually the first I had done in over a year of not making any music, so it was kind of a warm-up to get back into the groove of composing stuff, really. I was still a bit rusty when I was working on it. I'm glad y'all liked it though!

Just a brief mention for anyone who's interested, I've been working on a short CG video intro for one of my songs from the album (Into The Green World). I'd hoped to have it done by the album's release, but time was not on my side unfortunately. I'm nearly finished with it now though, and will put it up on teh youtubez when complete. Here's some screenshots:

That's what SHE said... Anyways it's no bigger than The Damned or Brushfire's ?? Also, Aliens: Colonial Marines on Wii U FTW

New Smash Bros + New Metroid for Wii U= I'm sold

Well I'm not selling any music currently, but I do have about 50+ game and film style songs on my site for free Most are original fantasy/scifi orchestral compositions since that is what I like: www.samostudios.com -Sam

Yeah I have a custom orchestral multi on my keyboard that I designed about 10 years ago which I always use for playing out compositional ideas

Ok cool, yeah maybe I'll just put together like a 10 minute long symphony of mostly Nintendo stuff. But also with some CT as well as Xenogears maybe. Possibly some SMRPG thrown in too hehe.

So I was just bored and playing some stuff, but I started thinking it might be fun to kind of make a medley of some of the game music I like. Was considering composing an actual piece out of it, maybe Kirby+Zelda+Mario. Plus Metroid. Plus Earthbound lol. Would anyone be interested in hearing something like that?

Definitely a great piece of music from a great musician! Keep it up my friend, -Sam

http://www.gamesare.com/music/GalacticWarriorGirl.mp3 Okay, here is my Samus Aran- Galactic Warrior score. I kept overloading my computer and had to restart like 1,000,000,000 times making this, but I finally got it the way I wanted it to sound. Basically, if I were to make a serious big budget Hollywood Metroid film, this is how I would do the score. Hopefully, if y'all think it is okay enough, I will try posting it (if not, it will have to remain here cuz I ain't going back and editing this resource eating monster anymorez!) Anywho, thanks for listening

Well I wasn't trying to make a 'sound upgrade' or anything, it was just a spur of the moment song as I always do original stuff and I just felt like making a super metroid track, lol. I understand all sides of the issue, though. Right now I am working on a new one based on the Galactic Warrior track which hopefully turns out okay.

Doh, I thought soundfonts were something else not just a replacement set of crappy midi instruments! lol I guess I been living in a cave too long. Heh, well I love Super Metroid and I remember all the music from the game, as it is with most games that I like a lot. To be honest, I don't own a single game soundtrack other than Ocarina of Time and Lunar The Silver Star Story- both of which came with the games when I got em, lol. Anyways, I was unable to open the rsr file (never heard of that format) but I think I know which track you are talking about- the cool one when you are on the surface where your ship is after the rain and also at the end of the game when you get the rainbow gun? You want me to do it so you can steal it and sell it for crack right? (hehe) Okay, I will try and make it more in my own style this time around, as nobody around here likes da original stuff lol! I guess I will just post it here then, rather than getting another rejection email hehe

Hmm I see... well actually the entire song was composed from scratch in cubase, I have never seen any of the original music. But I like the metroid tunes so I tried to come up with something that sounded close, though I doubt I got it 'note for note' as I was just going off memory from the game's music plus I knowingly made some changes. Anywho, sorry tis not more original, someone suggested that I post it here so I said sure why not, lol. But I don't really like mutilating themes and music or adding a 'techno beat' to stuff I enjoyed as it originally was. To me, doing that is not a remix but rather an original composition inspired by a previously composed source. Ah well I guess, thanks for the input though and for clearing things up! btw, what exactly is a soundfont? I use my keyboard mostly and some vst's, I have heard people mention soundfonts for a long time but don't know what it means, I know it has something to do with midi though.

Hi everyone! Here is a 'movie style' composition I did of the Super Metroid opening: http://www.gamesare.com/music/MetroidOverture.mp3 I tried posting it here and it was rejected so I am wondering what I should do to make it better. Kind of a mix between the feel of Prime and a more cinematic style. Thanks for listening! More at my site: http://www.samdillardmusic.com
