it's funny, I actually wanted to put out a quick little thing for this, but I didn't like what I was making so I scrapped it (sowwy, maybe next time)

i did end up making this tiny voice clip that i super wanted to put in there, so i'll share it anyway, lol

fun source, glad it was picked

I need to participate in this round, this track is just too good. Not to mention I've been playing lots of original Zelda over the past week upon discovering the randomizer online.

I've been fiddling about with this for a while now...
Everything pretty much works, just need to test it more. I'm also not happy with how it looks just yet.

One-hundred percent acceptable. I am far more familiar than I care to be with how damaging mental and emotional stress can be. As eager as I am to see the album released, I'm not eager enough to forget the way that feels. Take your time. Gather your spoons. Ask for help when/if you need it.

Hello, mostly dealing with a mental breakdown with mounting pressures of work and... well, bullshit, all through last year. I'm trying to ease back into the swing of things but it takes time. Sorry that the progress of an album relies on the back of someone who is, let's just say, mentally exhausted.

The Lufia album is something I need a lot of mental energy to work through, which I've been recovering slowly but surely. Not that fair to most of the good folk who worked on it, but I'm only human at the end of the day.

... also, is this the first time I posted in the public forums in a year? Sheesh, things must've been rough.

Oh, those are some cool instruments you've built for yourself, and I like them clusters in the harmonies.
Nice stuff goin' down, here.

Thanks for the update, and no worries. Focus on healing and recovering, the album can wait a while longer

Hey, zircon, I've got a great idea for a sidechaining tutorial...

Huh, Parasite Eve? Definitely not a soundtrack you hear everyday. If I recall correctly, didn't this game series share the same composer as for the Kingdom Hearts series, Yoko Shimomura?
Interesting game to pick from, for sure.

Man, I hate this arrangement, lol.
I love the fact that it's on OCR - there needs to be more music on here that challenges my tastes.

Keep at it and good luck. Make sure you always get outside opinions on your work as you develop your pieces. Critical feedback is an important aspect of artistic growth. You won't get better in a vacuum.

It's the day before Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for this community and the people in it.

You guys are pretty neat.

Wow, I think this acoustic-only version is a really rich, self-contained arrangement in it's own right. The additional elements of the arrangement compliment the core, most certainly, but you've really got a great base to work with here. I'mma gonna hold on to this other version for my own listening purposes, too, since there really is a different tone to it than the posted ReMix. Not better, not worse, just... different. It's definitely difficult to hear some of the more subtle guitar textures in the posted version than it is in this unplugged version, which in some ways is a shame.
Oh yeah, I like the remix, too - the overall atmosphere is almost heavenly, as the sound design compliments the lightness of the guitar work under it. The sounds are relatively basic, relying on what seem like preset pads and such, but I'd be damned if I said they weren't effective for the overall arrangement.
Great stuff, here.

@Deedubs was one of the first onboard with the album and this was the first track he picked and finished. He immediately went gung-ho on his idea with little input from me. He finished it in a few short weeks. However, it went through a crazy polishing phase where we handed it off to the faux-judges (since it wasn't supposed to be an official panel critique) of @timaeus222, @Gario, and @Chimpazilla(at the time, she later dropped out due to real life). I do believe it went back and forth between @Deedubs and judges at least three times with not so minor edits, but all that hard work and touching up on this track turned it into something very strong, powerful and memorable. One of the first tracks to be completed for the album and one of my personal favorites!

Alright, everyone, this is NOT a drill - this album is OFFICIALLY in the Review stage!
It's actually happening.
I am not joking.
Get excite.
