Unununium

Even though Terra's Resolve links to Chad Seiter as the artist, Chad's page doesn't link back to it or anything else. Maybe this is just temporary, like some nightly database rebuild has to complete first. But for the moment it's broken.

A word that musical deserves to be a mix title here on OCR. "Unununium" is a proper noun since it's my name.

Where's the Like button on this thing?

Can I get a rough estimate on when the album will arrive at US destinations, namely Texas? I want to mail my extra copies to friends, but I'm also planning on sending other goodies too, and I need to coordinate getting everything together at the same time.

+1 kindhearted. Yes. I picked a short word because I wanted to show how a problem can be fixed with a little change, but "kindhearted" not only fixes the problem but adds characterization without bloat. What's more, it reinforces the family tie central to Adrian's motives.

Every time I read this, I mentally insert "of" to get "a kind of medicine woman". Stupid of me, I know, but I bet at least someone else out there is doing the same. Perhaps replace "kind" with "kindly" to dodge the issue. Whenever I see a list ("Dracula and Lisa" in this case) preceded by an adjective of some sort, I have a hard time telling whether or not said adjective applies only to the first element. This leaves me wondering how Lisa could be evil and kind. Again, I could be the only one who does this, but if it bothers you too, you could break up the list a little bit. Assuming Dracula and Lisa were married (I don't know this), insert a few words to get "and his bride Lisa". This way both members of the list have individual descriptive prefixes, so there's no temptation to conflate them. All together: "Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes is the half-vampire son of the evil Count Dracula and his bride Lisa, a kindly medicine woman." It sounds like they did more than merely accuse. "Convicted" perhaps, or "condemned Lisa as a witch"? For some reason, this reads to me as if her injunction against revenge is conditional, as if revenge may be permissible when she is not being executed. I suggest rearranging: "Moments before being executed, she begged Adrian not to seek revenge against humans." As for "before his eyes", (1) you say before twice with only two words between, and (2) I think this is implied by the short timescale ("moments" I say) and her begging him (therefore they are in very close proximity). But if you can work it back into the sentence to increase the emotional weight, go for it. I suggest "unleashed" instead of "launched," though I do enjoy the mental image of werewolves and zombies being hurled by catapult. That would have been a much better game. Konami, take note! How about "complete" instead of "total"? Does "by this" need to be there? Is there any doubt about what would disgust Adrian? I prefer to spell it "façade" to remind myself to not horribly mispronounce it à la My Fellow Americans. I think "he is determined" sounds more... determined. The informal tone of the contraction seems out of place to me. "That is needed" could be written "necessary" to tighten up the last part of the sentence which otherwise drags a bit. How about, "He commands a large variety of powers:"? This has better symmetry with the previous sentence which uses the single word "possesses" to describe his relationship with vampiric traits. What's more, it avoids repetition with the next sentence which says, "he used his powers." I suggest "there" instead of "here" to make it clear that they're coming together. Otherwise I get the feeling that whenever the evil count (should that be capitalized, by the way?) rises, Adrian will merely post about it here on the forums.

A few thoughts... I'd delete the word "can". How about "help the needy."? I'd prefer the symmetry of "verb the noun and verb the noun." over "verb the noun and verb the four-word noun phrase.". Maybe just "formidable in combat"? Save a syllable. Or if you changed "formidable" back to "fearsome" you'd have a cute alternating stressed/non-stressed syllable pattern, though then you'd have to do something else about "fear" later in the paragraph. Try "held a desire" or simply "desired", but what you have is okay too. There's that word "desire" again. Find a way to mix it up. Not knowing the game, I don't know if you'd be going to far to say something like "is obsessed with controlling all she sees". Perhaps "has no qualms about"? Substitute the synonyms "misgivings" or "worries" or "doubts" for "qualms" and you'll see why I prefer this alternate wording. "World view" can also be written "worldview", which I prefer because parsing is done one word at a time, and seeing "world" as a distinct word puts your mind on one track which you immediately have to rewind from when you see "view". Not a huge deal though.

Certainly no room for it in the bio, but it always brings a smile to my face to think about the (possible?) origin of the name K.K. Slider, that being the song C.C. Rider. One well-known performance of this song was done by The Animals. Of course!

I can't help with content, but I have a few thoughts on wording. Suggest "led a peaceful, solitary existence within the TV World." Does this sentence need to begin with "And"? Perhaps just write "He also supports the group in their battles".

me am so excite my english fail!

Did so yesterday, some mighty fine rips there.Then listened to this for the jillionth time. Loooove!

Nice oxymoron! :<

I made a track for 9-bit Blizzard. It's called Tempest. Listen online or direct download. Composed and performed 100% pure LSDj, recorded from my ProSoundMod DMG through my Stanton M203 and my PreSonus AudioBox USB to Audacity, then given to halc to boost the levels. Thanks go to halc for inviting me on the project, listening to my WIPs, and giving me encouragement and support. I worked on this track from November through early February. It's certainly my most longest and complex work to date, though I consider myself to be a beginner when it comes to music writing and production.

It's an FF6 kickstarter backer exclusive bonus. I will say that one of the tracks on it is also available on YouTube:

I had a problem, but it wasn't with the password. The file was just corrupt somehow. I had better luck when I used the second mirror.

It wouldn't make sense for the "You're Not Alone" CD to stand alone.

General Beatrix's Unlonely Hearts Club Band

Consider that half the album is about the World of Ruin, so it wouldn't be appropriate to release it until after our own world ends.

ReMix: EarthBound 'Twoson Hits the Road' The old torrent and site download of this song is 160kbps and 3:18 in length. The YouTube preview is 3:26 long. (The difference is silence at the end.) :!: The new torrent and site download is VBR and 2:45 in length. :!: Oh noes! So I did a little audit to compare my old and new music collections. The comparison is really imprecise since my old collection is several years out of date, many artists have changed their names, the song names are formatted differently now, it was previously impossible to extract the game name from the track title alone, the names of games have changed (e.g. "Zelda 3" is now "Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past"), and so on. I really wish the old files embedded the OCR#'s where I could find them... As fuzzy as my match was, I did spot a few things. As was mentioned in the 2500 torrent announcement, some tracks had silence removed. One notable example is Red Dimension which was shortened by sixteen seconds. A couple songs lost seven or eight seconds. Dialima tu Kafe and Techtris Type Z lost ten or eleven minutes each, but that's just because the old encodes had wildly incorrect lengths (according to Winamp). The only thing I could find that was clearly a truncated song (not just silence removal) was Twoson. With more time I could do a better audit, especially if I could match the old songs against their OCR#'s, but... If anyone's interested I can share the code I wrote.

This song has been stuck in my head all week. I welcome it.

After thinking about it a bit more, I realized that there's a word for this: ardency.

You know, I actually like this song more because of its imperfect vocals. The song, therefore the underlying emotion, feels more real to me due to the lack of pitch correction. The image I get is of someone who has something very important to say and it matters to him so much that it overcomes any fear of criticism, he just belts out his joyful noise because he knows it is right. What's more, this song makes me feel better about myself and my shortcomings, to the point where I'm unafraid to sing along even though I know my limitations and that I might be ridiculed for the attempt. A perfect-pitch remake of this track would not mean as much to me.

http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01223/ The updated ID3v2 artist tag lists Ryan Probst, but there is no such artist in the OCR artist database. Suggest adding him so that the ID3v2 tags can be in sync with the database. I wonder if there's a way to automatically audit everything and flush out any other discrepancies. For more on Ryan, see this post. I don't want to keep creating new threads if I can help it, so I'll just reply to this one since the issue is again similar to the others I brought up.

Another thing... http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01387/ links to the Doom torrent using the old link (http://bt.ocremix.org/files/The_Dark_Side_of_Phobos.torrent). Might want to make /files/ redirect to /torrents/ since the right link is http://bt.ocremix.org/torrents/The_Dark_Side_of_Phobos.torrent .
