You're getting ahead of what I initially asked. I was seeing if anyone was interested in even the idea. If there is even interest by VG musicians, then yes, I can provide reference. I was trying to make this a professional start. This dance form can be sometimes construed as provocative, I wasn't taking my chances. Besides, all the benefit would eventually be in favor of the musician(s) since they would be the ones getting recognition and even potential music purchases out of it. In the end, all I get to do is dance. I'm not asking for just the music, I'm asking for shows with them performing their work alongside me.

Nonamer: That has a nice feel to it, but the beats are a little fast. I'd have a hard time keeping up with the music. Most belly dance music is very heavily beat oriented, with lots of intricate rhythm changes to keep the dancer on her toes (not necessarily struggling though). I think it may be a interesting challenge for someone.

I'll have to get some footage of myself if you are interested, however, as you could see, I'm hesitant to just put it up first. Here is an example of a 10 particularly in the style I'm trained (11 if you're going by SpinalTap standards): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-f9QpKoCr0 A sword dance is hip movements with balancing a sword on your head. finger cymbals are like this: I can't play them that fast but I can perform all the body movements she does with ease. I'm not restricting myself to middle eastern music as I know the only real examples I can think of are the Prince of Persia series, which does have some pretty awesome music (Particularly the gamecube/ps2 one). I've mulled over some FF: Crystal chronicles, Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country, and others. I'd need someone with good mixing capabilities and a good ear to be able to make them all more danceable and interesting (aka not as repetitive) as well as help me with ideas with songs, and if this goes well, for dances.

Post me some middle eastern game music you've done I can dance to and I will. I'm actually doing this for reals. This is not lotion and tissue material.

Hello OCRemix, I've been a HUGE fan of this site for years so I figured this would be a good place to start looking for a project idea I've been mulling over. I was thinking a collaboration between a musician/remixer or two with a dancer would be awesome fun. To give a little about me, I've been a student of belly dance for 4 years and have just begun performing. On a scale of 1-10 most people say I'm about a 7 as far as technique and I'm constantly trying to improve. I've been trained in using finger cymbals, veil, cane, and sword. I'm also an avid gamer and have been listening to VG music since I was a wee tyke (back in the good ol' NES days). I thought combining these would be fun and an interesting take on both game music and belly dance. What I'm figuring is this would be a performance collaboration in that we'd do shows and conventions of all sorts. This would give me interesting stuff to dance to in front of an audience and would give you an entertainer for live shows. Not that you can't look awesome in front of a computer/keyboard, but how much cooler if you had a dancer? Anyway, enough rambling. Is anyone even interested in such an idea? Or is this just a silly dream? ~Nebethetpet
