    FF6 Remix Project -- 2 Week Extension

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    Don't start with that bullhonkey.

    You change too much stuff = people dont' like it.

    You aren't making a NEW song, you are making a new version of an EXISTING song. SO, ergo it needs to remain faithful to the original material to a large extent in order to not completely alienate the fans of the original music.

    Unless of course, your audience is NOT in fact fans of FFVI's original music and you are just trying to make liberal bullhonkey that appeals to fellow musicians , while 99% of average listeners won't get, understand or like it.

    Why do you think some people say negative things about some stuff OCR does?

    Because people don't like how the music is Drastically changed.

    It's extremely important to strike a middle ground with an Arrangement of a piece of music. Why else would official arrangements and things like The Black Mages/Earthbound Papas be so good, yet they change many elements from the originals?

    Because they are faithful and strike a middle ground.

    Old but new.

    Refreshing but original.

    New instrumentation on a simpler piece of music.

    I plan on having opera-ish vocals for Aria de Mezzo Carattere. 1 male, 1 female, just like the original. The primary notational changes will be in the accompaniment. I intend on using breakbeat/dnb elements.

    Like I said, I'd love to contribute my voice. Just send me a message if you'd like me to so we can figure it out. ^_^

    Well whatever the case, I still think we should get a private forum on KNGI

    I need to post WIPS and discuss stuff about the song with people(especially if we are going to Collab). As well help others when and if applicable.

    Especially if i'm going to get my arrangement 50% done by the 19th.

    I'm not sure if i'm getting this, but generally if people are gonna do Aria it would make sense to have Consistency in every area.

    When you think of the original soundtrack in the game. There are 0 inconsistencies in sound quality nor in production of the songs.

    And I think that especially needs to hold true for Aria which in the game is a lot of songs melded into one giant masterpiece.

    But if it's done well, the end result could be magnificent!

    Though it's hard to beat this version, which is my favorite.

    Yea, it's hard to beat The Black Mages at remixes. Either way, I know I'd want to be in on that if the arrangers decide to incorporate vocals (hint hint, Metal Man and Jason) ;-)

    I think you could do it!

    Also, are those the series with your favorite music?

    My favorite videogame soundtrack outside of Final Fantasy is hands down the original Ratchet & Clank game. It had sort of a synth meets big Brass band feel to it. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are great tool.

    Sondheim is the man! I wasn't really thinking that exact song but just an example of the kind of style :)

    I'm only really familiar with into the woods & sunday in the park with george - what are some other good ones?

    Sweeney Todd is my favorite, but there's also West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, and Company are all well known.

    You're good! Are you into Sondheim (you should be!)? I'd definitely be interested in some collabing some time in the near future. Maybe something like this?

    Sondheim is my favorite Broadway composer! ^_^

    And yea, that sounds pretty damn cool, though I think it might be out of my range.

    Want to mix some music for a game soundtrack?

    For this particular project, I don't think so. The bosses of this project are quite specific in what they want. Vocals hasn't come up. I do have another, bigger video game that I've got all the music written for and it needs a female singer.

    Fear not though, I have a whole pile of other projects on the horizon that would require a dude singer. Think you might be able to sing "eye of the tiger"?

    As for the mixing thing. I've talked to Mak (congrats on getting a mix in the "to be posted" section!) about it and we'll see how it goes with him.

    I'm fairly certain that song is within my range, so yea. Whenever you've got something, just leave me a message.
