Caught this on rainwave. Didn't realize OA covered this before, didn't even recognize that it was him for a bit. Good stuff!
-
Definitely quirky! I think the highlights for me were the copious uses of funny fx like at 1:40 with the phone and the... flexitone?? This ride was a little trippy, a little bit of a throwback, and a little weird. Maybe that was the point.
-
Definitely not what I expect from hearing that Terra and Schala got combined 🤣 Luckily the mixing is convincing of the approach and intent. The vocal clips threw me off a bit, but I think they ultimately worked out. The sound design was a touch basic (such as the 3:15 saws and the 3:40 low chord stabs), but this was still enjoyable overall, and relatively smooth in the arrangement department.

Kristina's been collabing a lot lately, really cool to see. I'm not sure if she's explored Drum & Bass a ton, but this was a neat exploration into that genre if she hadn't, and well-executed at an immersive angle if she has! I like the ending from Wes as well, adds a somewhat spooky element, but still maintained the bubbly nature of Kristina's usual mixes.

Rebecca's name is quickly becoming synonymous with foresty ethereal orchestral music :-) Well done!
-
Ay 😀
This was definitely a blast to write, and for me the challenge was in being able to replicate some of the original chords. Despite zircon's crisp production, he can write some tough chords. I couldn't just hear them and mouse them in, so I felt them out on my keyboard :)(Also Larry, you're really nailing Dave's wordplay and style 👍)

Engaging indeed! Definitely would like to see this guy return :)

This may be one of my new favorite albums on the site. Some highlight tracks on the album:
- Life is Peachy - loved the chill vibes on here
- Road Rage - love me some metal
- A Translator's Tale - widely spans multiple genres, with smooth transitions :)
- Bonhomme de Neige - smooth sound design, cool distortion!
- Gold Soul - spot-on performances, and clean grooves!
- Desert Smash - nice to see Middle-Eastern music represented, and I like the changes into half time, double time, and regular time
- Sportsball - clean performances; relaxing, and chill
- Think on Your Feet - props on the bass solo, and the triplet drums in the middle :)
(don't get me wrong though, every track on the album was good!)

A bundle of joy! :)

Thank you for posting this! Now I know I can tackle other iconic themes. ;-)

Happy 25th :D
- I discovered OCR while I was making my Pokemon Crystal walkthrough on YouTube, and I was looking for background music each week. The first song I picked was "Beamsabre Beat ZERO v2" from Shariq. This was like 2009.- I've been a fan of these artists or become a fan lately (if I didn't list you I just forgot xD):

- Joshua Morse - well-established "distinctive sound", exciting arrangements, funky vibe
- WillRock - well-established "distinctive sound", shredding solos, nostalgic vibe
- Chimpazilla - well-established "distinctive sound", open-minded, friendly personality
- Big Giant Circles - clean production, wholesome personality, well-established "distinctive sound"
- Juan Medrano - guitar master, nostalgic vibe, clean production
- Prince uf Darkness - guitar shredder, clean production, magnum opus orchestrator
- J Damashii - crazy arrangements, creative mind, wacky personality
- bLiNd - clean production, wholesome personality, EDM master
- Sam Dillard - incredible orchestrations, expansive knowledge of dynamics, creative mind
- Here are some of my favorite tracks of all time:
The Unholy Wars (Juan Medrano + Dhsu)

Blast Beatdown (zircon + tefnek)
Bleets of Lightning (WillRock)
The God Machine (Vig)

I wanted to see if I could mock up the first 2 minutes of Jordan Rudess's "Embers" from "Permission to Fly", this is how it turned out :) Took about 2 hours.

Here's the original:

- Shreddage 3 Jupiter (lead)
- Shreddage 3 Precision Bass
- Shreddage Drums
- Shreddage Amp XTC
- TruePianos
-
Ooh, nice and quirky stuff going on with the pitchy synth at the beginning. Reminds me a bit of Mazedude's stuff. Pretty cool jam!
-
Lots of cool textures going on here! I'd imagine there were at least 30 layers. I really liked the bells/vibraphone! Cool solo section at 3:10 as well!
-
-
Coming tonight! This is a Middle-Eastern / World ReMix of "Evil Twin" that combines the Egyptian vibe of the original with Lindsey's 2012 Dubstep vibes!
-
Very immersive! And quite impressive that this is all recorded live. Bring us more!
-
The minor-key melodic line... THIS is where I heard it all this time. I used it in my Chrono Cross / Chrono Trigger mashup and couldn't remember where I pulled it from LMAO

Cool to see. I've been using khinsider for video game OSTs myself.
-
Thank you! That was one of my favorites as well. I did a bit of a harmonic trick in the middle where I used the same melody with different chords, and it felt like a new key. Still don't know what to call that technique today. :-)

Decided to keep it short and sweet this time! But I could see it making sense to extend the ending further!
