[Final Fantasy 6: Balance & Ruin ReMix Contest (v2) - RESULTS IN]

Might give it a go.

[Nobuo Uematsu at #16 on Classic FM's Hall Of Fame]

You could perhaps class his later work with Arnie Roth as being in the realms of classical music.

I'm not sure how many people have been following this, but I thought I'd post it in here anyway. This is awesome news in my opinion. Not only has it further promoted Mr. Uematsu's work, but it may prove to be a very important step up of his music being recognised within the popular classical music scene in times to come. I know very well of Classic FM's often dogmatic and purist view of classical music, so this entry may very well change things up a bit!

[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remix [WIP]]

Hey, C&C! Thanks! I recently purchased some new monitors so I intend to give this a damn good mix on them very soon, and will get an update posted... eventually

[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remix [WIP]]

Sorry this is so latecoming! Thank you very much for the feedback! I haven't touched this remix in a couple weeks; I intentionally wanted to let it ferment and let my mind/ears rest for a while, but now coming back I can see this is still very weak. Both of your bits of feedback are very useful, so thank you very much. I will restart work on it very shortly.

[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remix [WIP]]

Thanks a LOT for the detailed feedback! Very much appreciated. I will work more on this over the next few days with your criticism in mind, and maybe post up an update.

Thanks!

[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remix [WIP]]

Hi guys. I was wondering if some of you would be kind enough to give my WIP remix of 'Auriel's Ascension' (with parts of 'Reign Of The Septims') by Jeremy Soule a listen and offer some critical feedback. It is currently unmastered and the mix may need a bit of work, but thus far I think that's all that's outstanding, but I gladly welcome feedback for anything.

Thanks.

[Distant Worlds London]

^Don't worry, they said they'll be coming back next year for a 25th Anniversary gig!

[Distant Worlds London]

I was there! Holy moly that was an amazing night. O_O

[POST TO ENTER! Meet Uematsu! Win VGM! (July 29th deadline!)]

Aaaaand done.

[Free Albums Thread]

Ugh. I searched as well. Obviously I didn't search enough. My bad.

[Free Albums Thread]

I don't know about you, but I love music. Like, a lot. And I generally find that a lot of the best music is free. This isn't in every case, but for some at least.

So this thread is for people to share free album/EP/single downloads for others to hear.

To start this thread off, here's an album that I'm in love with and have been for a while. Check it out.

And others here.

Now, share away!

[What are you listening to?]

Airtap by Erik Mongrain.

[Distorted Skies]

Thank you very much!! I'm glad you're feeling it. Yeah the vocals are all mine, but the drums are sample kits. But the whole album is a mix of samples and live.

Glad you like it, mate! Thank you.

[FFVII - Cid's Theme]

I've wanted to do this for quite some time now. Hopefully I can get round to doing it soon. Will let you know.

[OCRA-0009 - Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream]

This album has shaped my musical path as I know it. It was such a huge influence on me when I first heard it. I regard it as one of my favourite albums of all time.

[Distorted Skies]

Hey guys. I don't post in here all that often but I'm gonna start posting a lot more now.

I figured I'd just post my début album here if anybody's interested in listening to it. Alt-rock/electronica/steampunk kinda stuff.

Would love to know what you guys think.

Thanks!

[Remix request]

Interesting... I may see what I can come up with sometime... Not so sure about the name, though.

[Remix with acoustic guitar pieces?]

Anything by this guy.

http://ocremix.org/artist/4721/pot-hocket

Absolutely beautiful renditions.

[Do you ever get stuck?]

Oh all the time. To counter-act it I sit in Zazen, or just go into a trance-like state with my singing bowls. It helps me a lot to relax and clears my mind, helping me to find more inspiration.

[I'll be Remixing the Final Fantasy VII Soundtrack]

I gotta admit.. While they are good efforts, they do sound more like covers than remixes..

[Parisian Sorrow [Original]]

Hey all, I'm in need of some feedback on this track... I got on a role when I did this simple melody and can up with this end result, but I dunno, I still feel it needs a lot of work... I'm aware the production is awful by the way...

If anyone can find the time to listen and give a little bit of feedback I'd be much appreciative.

It's probably terrible so do bring it to my attention if that's the case.

[OCR01629 - Jade Cocoon "People Made of Stone"]

The amount of nostalgia I felt when I heard this remix for the first time was incredible. A beautiful version.

[Second Life - anyone play it?]

I'm a big fan/user of it. I spend my time on it at a Buddhist retreat Zendo. Much easier than finding one near where I live, and the people are so welcoming. They also have real Buddhist teachers coming onto it to give Dharma talks. I loves it.

Yeah I'm a nerd.
