Fire Temple now in pseudo finished shape: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/orientalism-fire-temple

also came up with an ending for the forest temple track: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/dead-mans-party-pavilion-forest-temple

sheik! http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-better-be-quiet-now-sheik these days I REALLY wanna work on DKC2 or yoshi's island next. just saying. I don't know why I keep wanting to cover entire games other than it is fun and kinda challenging

http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/comrade-reinholds-theme-2 I decided to try something different from what I usually do

Is it time for Gerudo valley??? of course not, it's time for Koume and Kotake!! http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-might-i-reccomend-a-dance-of-ice-and-fire-koume-and-kotake

^thanks, very kind. http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-ldr-sarias-song-lost-woods Update to sarias song, about a minute of new material.

Havent given up yet! Spirit temple today: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-snake-eyes-spirit-temple

Are yall sick of this yet? Haha Potions today! http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-cosmos-laboratory-lakeside-laboratory-potions-shop Yes the title is a reference both to the Creedence Clearwater Revival album Cosmos Factory as well as to the great ZOoT speedrunner Cosmo who you can check out at twitch.tv/cosmowright Watch him beat OoT in under 23 minutes here:

the shadow temple! http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-the-eye-sees-you-shadow-temple

nocturne of shadows/prelude of light! feelin pretty good about this one even though it didnt quite end up the way I thought it would. http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-space-nocturne-of-shadow-prelude-of-light we are gettin to the end game folks, one track at a time!

Also I know it (might) be early to start talking again about the next game, but I am very seriously considering Banjo Kazooie at this point. Good/bad idea? other candidates include yoshi's island and majora's mask

^thanks! i think that all sounds on point. hyrule field has been updated!: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-day-at-the-parade-ground-hyrule-field

wip for eponas song is up: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-off-to-see-a-girl-about-a-horse probably too much reverb, at least on the front half. I'll fix that up later, along with some other things

This is where I am about two minutes into the song of storms: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/song-of-storms-attempts Choppy waters ahead

here is me doing the homework::: this is a fav right now:

a remixer's guide to the orchestra Lesson 1 q) how can I make orchestral remixes? a) this is a tricky question, but I will try to point you in the right direction: 1) listen to a lot of orchestral music in a lot of styles. •Film music ( ) •Older orchestral music ( ) •Late Romantic/Post-Romantic/Early Modern music ( ) •Modern and contemporary music ( ) 2) play in an orchestra (or other large ensemble like a wind band, brass band, jazz band)… 3) study scores, especially Ravel and Stravinsky you can get a ton of scores for free now so you have NO EXCUSE. This is literally the complete score for the rite of spring, a sublime example of orchestration, and YOU can download it FOR FREE right NOW: http://imslp.org/wiki/The_Rite_of_Spring_(Stravinsky,_Igor) If you can’t read music, that’s ok, you can learn. if you're serious about orchestration I'm afraid you will have to, since a lot of the best work is still done on sheet music q) no shutup I don’t care about all that, I mean how do I actually do it? like in a technical sense. a) first you will need some orchestra sounds. get out your credit card and buy this: http://www.vsl.co.at/en/211/261/2066/2087/1773.htm 595 euros, but it’s a steal if you’re in this for the long run, trust me. you can also do things for free, of course, in which case you will be spending time. lots and lots of time, but it can be worth it in the long run, since you won’t have expensive ass software hyping up your dumb ass shit. you will know when the emperor (concerto) is wearing no clothes. general freeware advice should be it’s own section, and I’m afraid I don’t know much about free orchestra samples (it’s been a while), but I will try to collect a few links. Demo software can be fantastic if you have the means to use it. or if you prefer you can do things cheaper. The stuff that comes with Kontakt is great, that will set you back $400 so I guess it’s not cheap at all, but consider it an investment of sorts - it’s one of the most versatile and powerful pieces of music software out there and will do good work for every genre of music I can think of. if you’re lookin at spending more like $100, you might check out “the most awarded orchestral collection ever” here: http://www.soundsonline.com/Symphonic-Orchestra The “silver complete” version. this was the first orchestral library I bought, and it was okay. homework (obviously optional) Share your favorite piece of orchestral music — must NOT be from a video game I’m sure other people will also have good advice, please feel free to share. this is pretty brief, but ask questions and we can make it larger together!

Forest temple updated: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/forest-temple-new-take

fire temple attempts: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-fire-temple-attempts IMO ended up too long and dull but it can be shortened and made more interesting maybe

I did! Or at least I noticed a bunch of traffic from there (and a brazillian zelda site) on my bandacmp. Cool stuff. And thanks.

I wanna remix this

Some nice selections, best of luck

Here are a few directions the forest temple is going as of this moment. All who hate it speak now or forever hold your peas (totally unmixed and unfinished btw) http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-dead-mans-party-pavillion ((i might wake up tomorrow and scrap this))

new wip of hyrule field!! http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-day-at-the-parade-ground it gets progressively more rickety and unfinished as it goes along, so think of it like a look at my process in reverse if youre into that, or like, a track getting its clothes taken off layer by layer.

Dude you're always the first to pop up with feedback and I really appreciate that! Thanks again, its good stuff as always.

Thanks, maybe this wasn't clear but this is still an incomplete project, so if you're looking for polish you'll want to hold off for a while (but please stay tuned!)
