Abadoss

Alrighty. This is the last week to work on it. Also, if you have it done already, feel free to send it to me.

If it's based on the music from the movie, though, it would not, technically, be valid.

This ought to be interesting. There seem to be a lot of people willing to participate. Cool.

I certainly seem to find those times without much problem...

Yeah. It's really hard with classical music to make it loud enough without peaking and still maintain the variety in dynamics. It's something that I'm still trying to figure out. In general, though, is there anything else besides length?

And I'll have my response ready and waiting. "Yes, I did sing that song once, but I didn't inhale." You would be correct, sir. Also, it's very likely that they EQed the original, but that doesn't mean I can't do it. It doesn't take very much to fill up a large auditorium will my voice.

Just so we're perfectly clear, beyond this project, I'm never singing this song again! http://www.warnerpacific.edu/personal/kkeyn/music/Conkers_Bad_Fur_Day_-_Sloprano_Swears_Verse_1_Acapella.mp3

Aw, look. A button-nose...

Cool. I'm glad to see you guys are interested. I look forward to what you'll come up with.

What of those who've yet to have a chance to prove themselves? Should a project be so exclusive as to be only run by those who've ran them before? Perhaps there's someone out there who's just as good as zircon and just as organized as Geoffrey Taucer, who you and I may know nothing about. Without giving him/her a chance to show that, you've already laid judgement on his/her ability to run a site project.

I can understand that kind of frustration, but that kind of attitude might keep someone from creating something that might actually be worth it. So what if there's a lot of projects going on right now? Most will probably die off anyway. Did Beethoven say, "Oh, there's a lot of music already out there. I'll just wait until it dies down a little before writing anymore."? (Not to say that this idea is comparable to the importance of Beethoven) It's one thing to not want that many projects going on and to even work out ways to limit the amount, but to go around to threads say things like, "OMFG, thar's tOO much Porjects!!!" (clearly an exaggeration) is like telling Beethoven to shove his music up his ass cause Mozart already did his thing and we don't need anymore of it.

That should hardly be a reason not to do a project. There's only about, what, twelve songs per game (if you don't count the fact that some of them are the same in both games). Plus, maybe, a battle theme and a boss theme here and there is not that much at all. At maximum (which I doubt would happen), you'd be looking at 25-30 tracks. More than likely, it'd be around 15-20 tracks. I would've expected better of you. So, just like that, you'd keep people from being creative and productive. To be completely honest, I'm thoroughly disappointed in the manner in which people have been responding to this. This isn't even an official thread for a project and you attack it like it's al-Quida headquarters. Grow some balls and be considerate people for once.

Uh, but is that project geared the same way the other remix projects have been? Or is it along the same lines as OLR, as a site?

Yeah. He sent me a PM with the track. I replied asking what he had in mind.

I know there's a lot of Zelda64 mixes (but there were a lot of Chrono Trigger mixes, as well) on OCR, but, as far as I know, not all the songs have been done and certainly very few from MM. Are there any MM songs done on OCR even? I'm really surprised none of the songs from MM have been rearranged, particularly things like Song of Healing. Therefore, I also think an MM project would more welcome then a OoT project. The reason I suggest a combination is because of how much the songs cross over and the fact that I don't think there'd be enough songs in just MM alone. Collectively, it could be a really cool thing.

I am rather surprised that there hasn't been a Zelda 64 project set up yet (that I know of), considering the accessibility of the songs. Anyway, I was thinking that perhaps a project could be started based on the ocarina songs from both OoT and MM. We could include boss themes and whatnot as well, but it would be mainly based on the songs, since most of the music in the games are directly related to the songs. Is this something that's of interest to anyone else? Is it possible? Any suggestions? Please note that my posting this am I necessarily volunteering to run the thing. I can if that is so desired, but, otherwise, that position is up for grabs... {edit} - Also (as a note to any mods), if this is something that is being done already, feel free to delete this thread...

Hey as long as you can pull it off in a voice similiar to Robin Beanland's booming opera accent and not make the track sound like a dance mix, I'm good with whatever you do. If you need another "joke" boss, well the only one I can think of off the top of my head right now is a guy from Mother 3/Earthbound 2 and most likely, not everyone's gone to the lengths of importing it like I have so I don't want to deal out spoilers or anything like that. Booming opera I can do, as I am a trained vocalist... dance, I cannot.

I've played Conker's Bad Fur Day, so I do know what you're talking about. I don't mind singing about fecal matter, I'm just concerned that people are going to be a little worried with all the swearing, particularly since I do my recording on campus...

Any chance of adding LeChuck from the Monkey Island series? If so, I'd do that mix...

CMC: Conceptual Music Competition This competition is based on the rules of the classic TOMC (Thematic Original Music Competition). The CMC (Conceptual Music Competition) is designed so that each participant enters a piece of music based on a set theme. The participants take the theme and interpret it as they will to come up with something that fits. Any style can work, as long as it portrays a sense of what the theme is. During the run of TOMC, the idea was to make it fit an RPG feel. In CMC, you shouldn't necessarily limit yourself to that. Feel free to be imaginative! Each successive theme will be chosen by the winner of the previous competition. For example, say the theme of the last competition, CMC 10, was "Fire" and the winner, Nigel, submitted a piece that knocked the socks off of everyone, so he won. Nigel then gets to decide the theme for CMC 11. CMC 3: Snow Autumn has passed and winter descends upon the world. Snow has fallen upon the fields, transforming them into seas of white, and upon the trees, turning them to living clouds sitting low on the horizon. There are 3 entries for this round... Abadoss - "Vast Seas of White" "Open stretches of space Broken only by trees and rocks What once was green and vibrant Now covered in its shroud As if laid to rest Wisps and clouds circle aimlessly Over the frozen expanse In the distance, a lone hill Draped in frosted brambles Stands out from the fields Stranded and alone In vast seas of white." Reaktorz0 - "Crossing the Lands of the Frozen Squid" "One of your teammates has been captured by a giant zombie snowman, and you must go through monster infested snowy plains to rescue him. This is the song that plays while you cross the plains." Bren - "The Snow King's Land" "This is a snow kingdom different than many others featured in video games. I thought since usually the ruler of such a place is cold and heartless, that this time, it could be ruled by a benevolent king who is loved by all of his people and people of other lands. The city is built from ice and snow, above and below ground, with shining caverns and magnificent sculptures and buildings." Results!: Text results and critiques Audio results Voting Rules!: Voters will be allowed to pick a first place (3 points) and any number of honorary mentions (1 point). Only one set of votes from any one voter will be accepted and a person cannot vote for any one piece more than once. Corrections to votes, from the original voter only, will be accepted, but corrections will void the previous votes. Basically, a voter can vote and correct the vote, but only the final form of that vote will be counted. Send all votes to Abadoss by PM. Please include any and all constructive critiques (not to be confused with bashing) about them with your votes as well, so that there's always a sense of growth in the artform. If you wish to remain anonymous, just state so in your PM. Thanks. The voting period will last from the moment the entries are posted in the thread to the Saturday of the following week. The voting period for this round ends on January 13, so be sure to spend some time really listening to the pieces. Any participant in the competition can vote, but not for their own pieces. However, in an effort to encourage voting among participants, any participant who votes will have 2 points added to their voting score. Official Rules!: Each piece must be originally composed for this competition. Arrangements and remixes will not be accepted. (Pieces composed by the participant prior to the competition will not be accepted.) Each piece must be 2:00 or longer and match the competition theme. Only one entry per person. Collaborations will be allowed, but each collaborator may not submit any other pieces. (This also means that a person cannot collaborate on two or more different pieces at the same time.) A link to the entry piece must be PMed to Abadoss prior to the deadline set for each competition. DO NOT POST THE LINK IN THE THREAD! However, feel free to post in the WIP:Other forum. Important: Each file must be labelled accordingly: Composer_Name_-_Composition_Title_CMC#.mp3 (For example, if Magnus King submits a piece called "Heavy Laden with Ketchup" to CMC 10, then his filename would be: Magnus_King_-_Heavy_Laden_with_Ketchup_CMC10.mp3) MP3 file format is required. Know that even OGG will need to be converted into MP3. (If someone is unable to do so themselves, Abadoss would be willing and able to do it for them.) Entries should be accompanied by a description and/or story to help listeners understand what the piece is about. (Not required, though.) All entries must be submitted by Saturday, January 6, 2006 at 11:59 PM - PST, GMT-8. Good luck and have fun! Previous CMCs: http://www.warnerpacific.edu/personal/kkeyn/CMC.htm

I'd certainly appreciate feedback, too...
