[Metroid Reorchestrated]

What's Metroid Reorchestrated?

It's much like ZREO, Zelda Reorchestrated, if you've ever heard of it. They aim to take the great music from the Zelda games, and re-create it while giving it a realistically orchestrated sound. MREO does the same thing, except with Metroid music. Well, we plan to when we get a functional team together.

i come from a classical background, and i've been arranging classical (i.e. orchestral) pieces since i was twelve. i think i can help out, some =)

i can speak for myself, meteo

Cool. I don't expect you, or anyone else for that matter, to do all the work. That's why we're putting together a team. I'll drop you a PM in a few minutes.

long story short, i can take anyone's arrangement and run it through vienna symphonic library (a recent acquisition of mine). so if you're running short on synths, or only have finale or sibelius, we can work something out easily. i can also take whatever trash you put out and make it make sense. having a degree in this stuff makes that kind of work really easy.

if you actually don't know what vsl is, it's the most realistic and extensively sampled orchestral library available today. it's also ridiculously expensive. i need to justify getting this thing.

i'd appreciate if you could post this info on your forums, wherever they are, for other musicians as well.

You're an expert/professional/whatever you call it... You don't happen to be interested in joining the team, do you? D: Someone who completely knows what they're doing and is able to give a kind of guidance to others perfecting their skills on the team doesn't come along very often, and would be a terrific addition to the team.

I want to help, but I need some sort of schedule idea. Time is an issue with me.

My sights right now are on the Frigate piano song from Metroid Prime. I want that one if I can pull it off.

There is no specific scheduled end for the project. It's an ongoing project which fans can listen to as it's being completed. I expect it to take a while, and there's no real issue about when anyone's able to get something in. (Once we get the site all completed and can start focusing on the music part of the project more, I'd like to have at least one song released a week.)

You're free to do that song if you wish. If it's the song I'm thinking of, then it just so happens to be my favorite song from Prime.

Ahoy, all. I'm the second in command for this project, working alongside another friend (who's first in command, and whose idea this was) to get this project up and running. (Along with the generous help of many others, such as Harubi) The ZREO team has been amazingly helpful to us with this (Especially the ZREO creator and their server manager)

I'll touch up on a few already asked questions here.

First of all, the examples given are not complete examples that are going to be used, aside from one or two of them. Most are examples that were the last time this project was tried, but they're a bit to... 'technoy' and 'synthetic' sounding (For lack of any better terms) for what we're aiming for here. As Harubi as stated, we want to follow the original structure of the songs as best as possible, while being able to retain that 'orchestrated' feeling and sound. Much like ZREO amazingly accomplishes. If you even want a sample of what this project aims to create, go listen to some of their work if you haven't already.

The tracks, when they are finished, should sound much more 'orchestrated' like, and should have some degree of consistency in how they sound when they're completed.

If you're interested in helping, in any way, please do not hesitate to send me, or Harubi, a PM.
