the ONE YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-intermission-punch-judy MEGA wip - intermission - punch & judy - INGOOOOGOGOGOGOGOGO and just know there is WAY MORE of this HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL where this came from

wip: ganandorfs organ http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-ganandorfs-organ some aspects of ganons character gave me a david bowie in labyrinth vibe, but definitely not ALL of them

can you survive THE HORROR of this semi-rejected jabu jabu remix the EXTEREMELYU LONG AND PAINFUL VERSION??? if you do you can get a tshirt and tell your friends I DARE YOU NOT TO LISTEN TO THIS (that is reverse psychology) http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-welcome-to-hell-bonus-track-jabu-jabu-long-version-only-for-people-who-hate-themselves semi rejected version of kabu jabu (he is sad and pathetic creature__)!! because I hate this level and this tune I went to a lot of trouble to create an experience that would be unpleasant for EVERYONE and then realized too late that that was probably really stupid

pale blue fire - http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/pale-blue-fure water temple // ice cavern this is basically done except for the mixing and some finer details, so I would ESPECIALLY like your thoughts on this one!!

once upon a time in a village - kakariko village (adult version!) - http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-once-upon-a-time-in-a-village

reverb: temple of time: very much unfinished, but I would like to hear what you think all the same http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-reverb

first of many im sure: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wip-ldr sarias song//lost woods maybe-too-wacky excerpt sketchy thing. I would LOVE your feelings on this.

Somehow I managed to forget to post any WIPs in this thread even though this is the WIP forum. So Im gonna bounce out some tracks and fix that situation right now..

Yeah that's an actual player piano playing that! Being controlled by a laptop and then double tracked. Pretty neat stuff (for me anyway). I hope it'll make a little more sense in context if it didn't in the demo.

Also, finally took a stab at a logo: I know Zelda font lookalike things are super old hat but eh something made me give it a go. Hopefully it'll look more in-context on a page with a matching color scheme

I've been underground but still working on the project! I've adopted a strategy of working a little bit at at time on every track at once, and I'm enjoying it. Here is a "trailer" for the next nine tracks I will post, ETA: sometime. It has excerpts, but even in the excerpts not everything is finished. And I'm keeping the best stuff for later of course! CLICK HERE!!!! Oh and also I didn't master it or anything so it might be a little weird level wise. Maybe I'll fix it tomorrow Tracks 1) epona's song 2) saria's song 3) lakeside laboratory 4) hyrule field 5) inside jabu jabu 6) ganondurf 7) kakariko village adult link temple of time 9) prelude of light

Huh, apparently Brevity is Wit (Kapora Gebora) and My Old Kakariko Home (the two I submitted and consider more or less complete) were both accepted, but I don't see Judge's threads. Pity, I would've liked to see their comments a great deal.

Me too, one of the big surprises of this project is that it's all the forgotten tracks that are the most fun to work on. WIth the big names there's all this pressure, but with the dungeons and such you can just have fun. Plus dark ambient shit is pretty much where I live.

^Thanks man, and everyone else dolling out all the lovely kind or else constructive feedback in this thread. Honestly it helps a lot, because when I'm at my work station slapping around 14 year old melodies from a game for children instead of furthering my career I can get discouraged sometimes, throbbing love for Zelda or no. Tongue in cheek though, this is actually one of the most rewarding projects I've ever worked on and a fulfillment of a.. well.. seven year quest for me. Ok so after a lot of time reflecting and recording and ditzing around and even working on serious(er) things from time to time (seriouser than games about polygonal elves I played when I was 10) I'm thinking I've got two better release models that might be suited to my... err.. deficiently consistent release habits. So would you guys prefer: — 1. a bunch of tracks released in chunks who knows when This being closest to how I do things naturally, coming up with 4 or 5 tracks at once and then burning out for a couple of weeks. _____ OR ______ — 2. a track every week at least (starting at least as soon as I can get my trumpeter to record with me, which ought to be this week but y'all know how oughts can be _____ OR ______ —3. I start Majora's Mask and alternate between the two games I was thinking it might help my enthusiasm along if I had the variety of simultaneously playing the "artsy" N64 zelda game and recording that too. Obviously that would slow down the Ocarina of Time schedule but it would almost certainly increase the total amount of Zelda related music released. MM is certainly a less pleasant game to play and I have less nostalgia attached to it but I also think it's unquestionably the artier of the two, and maybe the artiest game Nintendo's made (the Mother series might top it if they were made in house, but hold on I think I'm rambling..) ___________ So???????????????????? ___________ Survey will close like in a week or two or whenever I feel like it or if I embarrassingly get no replies seriously someone better reply there is nothing more lonely than an empty poll if it helps your consideration the tracks spooning around in the pip line are Saria/Lost Woods, OverWorld, Epona/Malon/Lon-Lon (still need a vocalist though, I had some interest from someone but I haven't heard anything since..), Jabu Jabu, Temple of Time, Prelude of Light and Shiek's Theme Another unrelated question for those who have managed it this far down the page. Is it time for a webpage of my own? A tumblr or blog or of some such? In answering this you shouldn't worry about my updating the thread, since you guys will always be my priority, quiet as you may sometimes be... .

Hey y'all, just wanted to let you know this aint dead, and in fact a lot more work has gone into it since we last chatted. Suffice to say MWF updates are probably finished for good - this is the third time I've failed in that dept so I've got to find another way of managing to get stuff out there and fight off my dumb perfectionistic tendencies which never enable me to finish anything. So for the moment, things are being "restructured." Also, if it wasn't already clear, consider everything already posted a kind of WIP - many of them will change as I try to make the project less a collection of songs and more of a single thing, and there will also be tightening, cleaning, and in a few cases some major re-recording or re-performing. For instance, I have a recording date with a big fat grand piano for the title theme, Seven Years, among other things

Hey sorry to post again without an update, but do any of you guys have any suggestions for improving this project? I could really really go for some constructive criticism. Obviously I'll do the first one: update on time! but I'm talkin more about the pieces themselves and how they come together as an album and how you'd like to see the album. what would the ideal situation be for you? (kind of like my fake post bout the gold record, like that but a little more realistic) Thanks! seriously I relish constructive feedback

actually I'd really love to submit all three to OCR and have them all accepted, haha. balance out all the Gerudo Valleys and Zelda's Lullabies already on there

hyrule field wise: I scrapped everything and I'm now going in a very different direction. I just couldn't pull it off the way I was planning, so we're gonna do something less traditional. a lot of you will probably like it better that way anyway. as for the last two days not having updates, I figured I'd throw up two very different outtakes of the Goron cover I did. I salvaged some of the better parts, which you may recognize, but for the most part they're radically different (and much more jam-y, with all the masturbatory noodling that entails). however they also have a certain amount of charm and actually I have no doubt some of you will prefer it to the real version [and if you do, let me know, I'm very curious.] so here they are: goron outtake 2 - you rock, rock. no one sits like you sit. goron outtake 1 - everybody must get stoned

for those keeping track, I was supposed to update yesterday and I meant to - but I'm working on Hyrule Field now and it's a bit of a behemoth. should be good though! it's fun but pretty daunting since I want to get all of it in there. it has more content than any other piece on the OST by FAR

of course not! only the miyamoto part

which is like almost all of the first half of the game! http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/album/seven-years oh, and sorry for the "Buy" thing on Bandcamp - they make you do it after a certain number of free downloads. but don't worry everything is still free, you just have to enter "0" as the thing and it'll be all set. there's a thread in wip that i update every MWF (sometimes) with a new track so you can come hang out there if you want to be PART OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING as it happens in REAL TIME In Game order (roughly): 1.
