I received the first official WIP recently and it sounds amazing! It is a beautiful piano cover of the event when Tatl remembers the good times she and her brother Tael spent with the Skull Kid. I will ask the composer if he would be willing to have the everyone listen to his WIP. Everyone else keep up the good work and contact me with any Lyrics. A reminder to everyone that we are first working on the Clock Town section of the game, so start writing lyrics for that.

I would like to take a shot at this. When would you need the audition by, because I want to record a sample for you.

So Luiza and I have been working on the Terra track for the FF9 album. We're nearly done but are in need of a folk-style singer to give the song its heart. Please send me a PM if you are interested and have a sample of your folk-style singing. Ideally middle vibrato baritone or low tenor.
We're looking to close this out in the very near future so the sooner the better.
Any particular style of folk singing? Irish folk singing or a different style?

Hello, people,
I'm sorry to say that, although I had said I could help with your project while working on mine, I have been trying to find time, but it seems that my schedule is basically gonna be filled with work by the double.
I'm sorry that I cannot help, and I wish you all the best.
Thank you for your interest. If your free in the future, the door is always open:wink:

Look on the wiki for the Song descriptions of the first CD

Just finished up the semester. I'm not taking any summer classes, so I'll be better able to focus on this now. Sorry to have disappeared for so long!
Is there anything in particular that I should be working on?
For now, focus on writing lyrics on the first CD (start of the game till after Link transforms back to human). Just pick a song or if you want any suggestions, could you do something for the Clock Town theme?
-
Check the first post for news and information on the projects structure. We are going to tackle this beast one CD at a time, so first we'll tackle Clock Town.

I can not stress enough the importance of checking in. Not only does it assure me that you are still alive, but it also lets me know that you are still interested in this project. I don't expect people to check in every day, but I NEED to know what people are working on. I'm going to be setting deadlines on the first post soon, so be sure to check that out and please check in.

Dude. Mystery Dungeon needs it's OWN project. The soundtracks are incredible.
It is also, to this day, the only game to ever make me cry. (Which generally isn't hard.)
And the album will be called: "Dungeons and Dragonites"!

on the subject of boss fights, and dungeons, we could have like a dialogue between the boss and tatl as link progresses through the dungeon, crescendo-ing until he reaches the boss room, where the boss monologues about how inferior link is and how majora/skull kid are so much more fearsome and powerful. we'd need very distinctive voices for the four bosses, though. odolwa would have a deep voice, goht a warbly tenor... and so on
I'm not sure about that idea. The boss' didn't have a voice to begin with and plus, looking into the rest of the game, the Boss' entrapped the spirits of the four giants inside them. The only way to free them is to defeat the boss'. The Skull Kid and Majora have a lot in common and this could be because of the amount of time the two spent together. It is hinted at that Majora's Mask absorbs all the emotions of the wearer, in this case all the negative emotions from the Skull Kid. In a line of dialogue from Madame Aroma, she tells that her son Kafei has been missing for a month now.
With this information, we can assume that all the other area's, except Ikana Canyon, started going bad about a month ago. That is probably the same time the Skull Kid got a hold of Majora's Mask. Under the influence of Majora's Mask the Skull Kid imprisoned his former friends, the Four Giants, into the four Boss', which some have speculated might be former friends of Majora himself. So in a sense, they have killed two birds with one stone.
Sorry, went on a bit of a tangent there. I don't really like the idea of the Boss' having a voice, if anything those songs would be instrumental pieces. And the whole monologuing and taunting Link, just sounds too corny.

I want a rough draft of all the lyrics by July 7th, so that we can get started on working on the music. Please message me if you have any questions.
Also, here is a link to the Song Descriptions list on the wiki:
I still have some work to do on it and Champ, I need your help to post it on the navigation bar so people can find it easier.

Personally I think Black and White has some of the best music in the series.
Truly returning to the melodic stylings of the earlier games. However, this isn't sustained as much throughout.
...
Pity. I love Village Bridge to the point where I play the game just to go there and listen. Heh.
I too would love to see Black and White get some love on the site. The Missingno tracks was created in celebration of the games release, so I see it only fitting that some of Black and Whites tracks get some remix action, most notably the Ending theme!
-
Maybe. We'll see. By OCR's standards, Pokémon's got a lot of remixes. For now, I'd love to see Pikmin or Luigi's Mansion or Fire Emblem get some attention. Or maybe an album of songs from Mario RPGs
I put my support for Fire Emblem. It's one of my favorite series of games and there is only one remix on the site.
-
I need people to report back to me and tell me what they are working on or what they are interested in doing. Please do this ASAP!
-
I got my auditions up on your PM.
-
I know it's been awhile, but hopefully all of you are hard at work. I've been having trouble getting all the descriptions of the songs on to this post, so I decided the best solution is to post all the song descriptions on to the wiki site:
http://tearsofthemoon.wikispaces.com/
I'll get started on posting all the info on the songs on the wiki site and please contact me with any questions.

I believe this thread needs to watch this
Excellent example! Thanks for showing us this!
-
Are you looking for only one or two specific pieces?
My link earlier on was a small collection. Will that work, or should I figure out what my most recommended one is? In that case it might be the contest entry.
Put up the link that you think gives the best example of your range for the song writers to hear. And if you want, you can put up more than one link if you feel one is not enough.
-
Until we get the lyrics finished, I want all the vocalists to send me links of there sample work so that I can post them up on the first post for others to listen. That way the composers will get a better sense of your talents. Also, please submit a recording of your range to me by the end of May. Just a simple Do Ra Me will do, just something to get a feel of your range and how high or low you can go vocally.
-
Would that be Parlando?
Also, Repo! is a pretty awesome movie!
Parlando? Probably, but I'm not sure. As long as you understand what I mean.

I'd love to see someone remix the Ending credit theme from Pokemon Black and White.

New Challenger!!!
SkyriderX joins the Brawl...I mean the project.

Note for Lyric writers:
Don't think that you need to write the lyrics to exactly match the original melody of the songs.
There is a term in Opera, that I can't spell or pronounce, but it is a type of singing, where the singer sings what would normally be said. Don't be afraid to to go outside of the original melody with your writing and if your a composer or know a bit about composing, you can use the original music as sort of inspiration and create something entirely new, while still keeping the feel of the original. For an example of Singing What is Said, check out Repo: The Genetic Opera.
In other news, I know some of you have started to work on some music and that's great, keep going! But what I want to address here is that I believe we should get all of the lyrics done first before we start work on any more music. If you really want to work on some music first and you believe you got a good thing going, well then more power to you, but be warned that the music may need to be edited to fit the lyrics and the overall them.
Lastly, I've gotten a good response from people on deviant art, who are interested in illustrating cover art for the project. If you've seen my Tears of the Moon artwork I've posted a while back, once all the artwork has been submitted, I'll take bits and pieces from everyones artwork and place them inside the shards of the tear.
Please PM about lyrics, what songs you'd like to do lyrics for, suggestions of songs that still need lyrics, and any questions in general.
Also post all lyrics onto the wiki page here:
If your having trouble posting on the wiki, send your email info to either Champ the Hippie or myself and we'll get you on there so you can post.
And please comment on this forum what you think of the WIP lyrics posted so far and what the writers can do to improve them.

We are but for now we are focusing on writing the lyrics before we get into serious vocal auditions. Can't sing if you don't have lyrics. We'd be glad to have you aboard. What type of singer are you?
