  1. I got great feedback from Jorito and just took a fresh listen after a break; I know several things to try with track, and with the deadline that far back, I feel pretty good I can get the piece into a good shape!
  2. I've got a little bit done, but I think I'll need at least a week more. @AbsoluteZero that's looking quite good to me!
  3. Here's the notes that apparently fell through the cracks (though the write-up is now quite funny): "This summer our family has been spotting flowers, which is what this song is about. The lyrics consist of a list of Finnish wild flowers. The arrangement was done together with Birgitta Susi, who sings. We picked some tunes we both liked from ilomilo as sources. She thought Esther might like hearing a child's voice in the song, so there's the daughter and me talking a bit about the flowers in the background." There was a bit in the call-out e-mail about reaching out to artists who weren't exactly obvious choices. I never figured I was one of them! I wouldn't say this was out of my comfort zone but I guess it's different from my previous submissions. Big part of course is that it was co-arranged with Birgitta; we are long-time collaborators. It's great to have the album out!
  4. I used to (mostly) run some campaigns, playing the Middle-Earth Role Playing Game, and a Finnish RPG system Rapier/Elhendil that was all about elves. In retrospect I really sucked as a DM but I think we all had some fun. I've never played tabletop RPG sessions that were any good or if they were, lasted more than 1-2 sessions. Oh well. I still like to read rulebooks and campaign materials and stuff every now and then. It'd be cool to get to play Ars Magica for instance, and then there's the Glorantha setting, which sounds really good (gotta play King of Dragon Pass sometime). I did have RuneQuest but I don't think we ever played that one. I don't think I understood how cool it was back in the day either. It was the first RPG I had but it was too complicated for the young me and I got something more basic to get started with. Never played D&D! Anyone played over Skype or something?
  5. I'm extra happy to see this posted since I did indeed put this together quite quickly, and wasn't sure if I would be able to pass the bar with such little work. Glad you guys dug the aesthetic! I'm a little embarrassed to be complimented on the drum writing though. Like I mentioned (but should've perhaps emphasized more), they're stock Renoise drum breaks; I did splice them up a little and layer them here and there but can't claim I really wrote the parts.. I usually spend an eternity writing the drum parts so it was a very efficient shortcut in my case. edit: oh and yay first ReMix for a system!
  6. My schedule is clogged as well. It would be fun otherwise. I still listen to my rRPC vol. 1 pieces and think I should finish them & submit to OCR.
  7. Was SD mr. Molina's German false identity all along?
  8. I should be able to make that. I feel bad for not being able to work on the song for so long, but I should have a bit of time in the end of June to remedy that.
  9. It's good to put the game title on the thread title.
  10. Many thanks @Eladar for great feedback! Good to know about the percussion feeling repetitive, I think I'll put a bit more effort into it. Very good analysis of the structure - I'll think of something for the intro and especially outro for certain.
  11. I've played and enjoyed (and completed!) Quest for Glory 1 (the VGA version) but strangely enough I must have played without music.. perhaps it was before I got a soundcard (oh man, the ancient times). Got some cool ditties in there for sure.
  12. WIP (2016/04/15) Mixing improvements. Close to finished I think, I need to consider the mixing of the bass end, I'd be interested in thoughts about that (and the mixing in general).
  13. Nothing wrong with 8min+ pieces!
  14. Sorry, forgot to reply. Yeah, this thread is pretty quiet, it'd be cool to get it rebooted sometime. The thought of the initiative was games from 2000 and earlier. Touhou is mostly after that right, and the earliest games are for PC98? (By all means go for it anyway!)
  15. Well, by this I was inspired to map out my own odd time signature plan of an arrangement for this source.
  16. Very eager to hear Sixto's take on Lenna's theme.
