Nope. but really, it would be like 5-8 words
Oh, I'm assuming you're gonna glitch it? I'll send you some singing in a minute, I'm just curious about what you're planning.

Everybody always wants women.
Do you have lyrics in mind already, or is it just the track you have so far? -
Vocalist here for use! PM me if you need a guy singer
-
How are things going in here? I'm looking forward to this album!

First and foremost I realize that La-Mulana is probably not a known game by many of you so I'll just add a bit of information about it:
La-Mulana is an indie 2D Action-Adventure Platformer made by a few chappies in japan that are collectively known as Nigoro and was created to emulate the graphics and interface of other games from the MSX. La-Mulana was then quite retro looking when it was originally released in 2005 for windows, it also featured a cadre of puzzles and a large set of imaginative levels and an interesting story which coupled with its rather unforgiving difficulty made for a long and memorable gameplay experience...although perhaps a bit too unforgiving at times as the puzzles were sometimes quite brainy and the environment quite lethal, I myself never actually managed to finish it.
In any case fast-forward to 2011 Nigoro ports La-Mulana to the Wii, improving its graphics, controls and finetuning the gameplay itself. They were hoping to release it overseas but unfortunately this fell through and was only really released in Japan...However earlier this year they dropped their Wii publisher and began porting the Wii version to the PC which is going to be released this friday.
Here's some links should you wish to investigate further:
There we're a bit catched up then, onto the reason for my creating this thread: The Soundtrack*.
*Due to its impending release I'll only be referring to the Wiiware/Pc port version of the soundtrack and not the original 2005 version
This soundtrack is incredible in my opinion, mixing in a good number of styles and instruments...I'll admit I'm not all that good at conveying the quality of music into words so I'd rather if you're so inclined to give it a listen for yourself lest I make it sound too drab (Disks 1 and 2 are primarily I'm speaking of, disk 3 are bonuses most of which are not found in-game).
Of note is that if there is sufficient interest to create an album out of this I personally will not be among the musicians as that is simply not one of my set of abilities at this time for one reason or another, I am however quite good at managing communities and deadlines I suppose.
Should there not be enough interest, ah well it was worth a try eh?
Can't say I've heard of it, but if it does get off the ground and anyone needs a vocalist, I'm available.

A while ago, I posted a request for remixes of Ratchet & Clank because they weren't any on this site. Now I return with another plea of a game to remix: the Sly Cooper games. I mean, c'mon; film noire style music? How epic would that sound remixed! Here's a few tracks that would be awesome to mix:
Main title and credits (Sly 3):
A Strange Reunion/Final Battle (Sly):
High Class Heist (Sly):
The Fire Down Below (Sly):
Paris (Sly 2):
Contessa Battle (Sly 2):
Clock-la Battle (Sly 2):
Enjoy, and I hope to hear something from Sly soon!

Tuberz is the glue that holds the OCR forum together.
It's official.
I need to be in both of these mixes. <3
Drop me a PM then and let's see what we can put together!

So more of a subtle reference to Industrial with a main fore front in Post Rock? :/
That's all I can think of right now.
Possibly. I'd need to hear a WIP to get a better understanding of what you had in mind. Maybe something like Rammstein's Ohne Dich or Ein Lied, if you want an Industrial reference. Even Spiel Mit Mir or Klavier. (Sorry, Rammstein is the only Industrial band I'm intimately familiar with)
-
I'm feeling creepy as being a weird industrial-ish sound. Similar to Reptile by Nine Inch Nails.
Is this what you're thinking? I'd love to help if you want me on board.
Industrial is a good genre possibility, but definitely on the quieter side. I have this scene in my head of a trainer kneeling in front of a grave, and a ghost disguised as an old man comes up behind him and this is what he is saying to the trainer. Maybe a crescendo or accelerando near the end, but definitely on the subtle side until the "reveal."
-
Just curious...what tempo are you looking for? Slow or fast?
Close to original tempo, but it would depend on the style. Most likely would lean toward slower, though.

I think I' right in assuming that plenty of us here love the original pokemon games. Me too. So I ended up writing my own lyrics to the Lavender Town theme song. Unfortunately, the source material is not conducive to vocal accompaniment for obvious reasons, so I had the great idea to make a mix for the song!
Then I remembered I can't compose.
So I'm posting here in the hopes that someone can help me out here. MangaMan is also on board. I really don't have a vision for the accompaniment other than it needs to sound creepy as hell to match my lyrics, so if you're interested, send me a PM and we can talk about mixing it up. The lyrics are as follows:
Welcome, Welcome
To the town of Sorrows
Have you come to
Say hello to old friends?
Lavender, Lavender
Such a lovely, sweet scent
Wafts around us
Comforting the ill heart
Here they lie now
Bodies rest below you
Friends, companions
Find eternal slumber
Rain falls slowly
Sky grows darker
In the distance
Stormclouds shed their cold tears
Lavender, Lavender
Such a gentle color
Soothing, ghostly
Color of the dead
Here they rise now
Say hello to old friends
They have missed you
Endless years of waiting
Lavender, Lavender
We won't be forgotten
You will join us
You'll always remember

Just dropping in my usual note about being available if anyone needs a vocalist and/or lyricist. Holla.
-
Aw, I can't believe I missed this. Sad day for OD
-
Can't say i'm familiar with the game, but if anyone needs a vocalist, feel free to contact me. (Bass/Bari/Low Tenor)
-
I just woke up but off the top of my head, no there aren't.
Done.
Yeah, that's why it wasn't possible to realistically organize a FULL roster of songs, so really, just seeing exactly how much can be done in a short time. Will definitely be interesting to see how it all turns out!
Thanks for the info. Best of luck, everyone!
-
Are there any vocal tracks in the game at all?
-
I admit that I'm (sadly) not familiar with the game series as I ought to be, so I don't know if the soundtrack is well suited for vocal work. If it is, I'd love to offer up my voice to any of the composers that would like it. Either way, you mentioned you were also looking for voice actors, which I can also do for you. If you need me to send in some work, just let me know what you need me to do, and where to send it.
-
Thanks a lot for the offer, man, but I already have a singer, and someone expressed interest to write the lyrics.
Alright, no problem then. Best of luck.
-
Dude, not trying to minimod here, but this is pretty obnoxious. I understand you're trying to get vocal work, but why bother even posting if you're just going to say you have nothing to offer for guitar and then whisper for work he's not looking for? C'mon man.
He also mentioned he was looking for a lyricist. Singing usually goes along with lyrics.
-
*psst* I'm a singer. Can't play guitar for shit, though. >.>
-
I understand, the post man can be cut, but I want to keep the Carpenters & soldiers at least can be the chorus.
Gotcha, gotcha.

Those that don't have a song that they already working on, we need to get started on working on the lyrics. For these collab lyrics people will put in there own ideas and the group as a whole will work on the lyrics to that song. For the first song I'd like to focus on is the Clock Town song. First the lyrics to the 1st day we'll work on first...firstly.
The first day is the buzz of excitement for the upcoming festival, but at the same time a sense of foreboding as the towns people look at the ominous moon.
Singers include:
-The Carpenters:
They sing mostly about working to get the festival ready.
-The Deku Shrub Salesman:
Basically sings about how he's sold all his wares and is just waiting for the festival. His wife has been bugging him about getting her a Moon's Tear.
-The Postman:
His lyrics should be very repetitive, like a drum, singing about delivering mail.
-Soldier's:
During the first part of the Musical, before Link get's his ocarina back, the soldier's sing about how they can't let Deku Link outside because it is too dangerous without a sword. They also feel uneasy about the moon.
-Tingle:
Yes you are reading that right, Tingle gets a singing part...a very small one. Basically through the course of the Musical, Tingle will begin to sing about his maps and fairies...but then Tatl will steer Link away from him and the music will continue as if Tingle never sung at all. Basically a joke:razz:
Hm. Can't see why the soldier/postman/carpenters are important parts that need to be sung. Any info they have could just as easily be conveyed by the Bombers. The more unnecessary parts we cut out, the better the music will flow, as they'll be much more recognizable, rather than trying to follow which voice is which character. Props on the Tingle idea, though. Little fairy can go bugger himself. :3

I think we need to also figure out what style of opera/musical we're going for. Obviously, there will be influences coming from the game as well as each remixers own style, but are we shooting for something akin to Andrew Lloyd Weber? Stephen Schwartz? Stephen Sondheim? Gilbert & Sullivan?
-
I don't suppose you'd be looking for a vocalist? >.>
Need a singer for a short prog track *Air3s -slip*
in Recruit & Collaborate!
