    I started the arrangement with a jazz fusion style on my mind, but prog rock started winning as I added more sections.
     
    I’ll take a look at the piano tone the judges mentioned. I’m using NI’s “The Giant” which has a variety of possible sounds, but I’m intentionally tweaking it for an aggressive and bright sound. I probably overdid it haha.

    This is really good stuff. You hit the mood of those old games with a crisp modern sound.

    jnWake got a reaction from Eino Keskitalo in How to start? Is there a secret technique?   
    I actually do it a little different from what's been shared here. I tend to start by trying to figure out the bass (the root notes at least) and from there get the chord progression and key of the song. In my opinion, you get a lot of useful information from a song from just this. Melody is important of course, but a ton of VGM songs tend to play around the chord notes so, once you know the chords, the melody comes easy.
    When it comes to actually writing a remix, I tend to learn the song and then just sit down and improvise. It helps if you have a predefined idea, like, "make a metal cover", but usually just playing around with the melodies and chords is enough to trigger some inspiration.

    Hey! I haven't posted here in a long time...
    Anyways, I recently started a project of making my own OST for a game that doesn't exist (ideas exist in my mind but I'll likely never do it haha).
    So far I've uploaded 5 tracks:
    #1. Intro - Meant to play alongside some intro cutscene of sorts, maybe with some battle and the aftermath.
    #2. Menu - Meant to be funky menu music.
    #3. Prison - Meant to play on the introductory level, which takes place in a creepy prison, hence the music being calm and somewhat eerie.
    #4. Prison Boss - Meant to play when you battle the Prison's guardian.
    #5. Castle: Garden - Meant to play on the first proper level, so it's adventurous and fast paced (mostly).
    Hope you enjoy! Any feedback is appreciated, though the mixing and production aren't meant to be super polished as I'd rather compose tracks than produce them at the moment.

    No restrictions. You can do an arrangement that covers several sources as long as it's cohesive and doesn't feel like a medley. My only posted mix that I arranged is of that type!

    Anybody here plays acoustic guitar and is willing to record some stuff for my Overworld remix? Ac. Guitar is like the most important instrument in my arrangement so I need someone to play it live!

    OK, working out a little thing with Liontamer for you poor bastards here that don't have access to... let's say... certain on-goings.
    Hope to have it running any day now!

    Well, we're finally done, guys! I have to admit that I had no idea how big and awesome this album would be when I started recruiting people. Thank you very much for all your hard work! I'll update the thread with all the important news (tracklist, release date, etc.) and throw in a couple of hype things as well   Stay tuned!

    Instruments! I already asked someone for acoustic guitars and bass but I may ask for even more depending on how the arrangement progresses.

    I'm working on my Overworld remix and it's turning out interesting, to say the least. I think I'll need a few collaborators for it haha.

    •••• UPDATE! BONUS TRACKS ••••
    All initial tracks have now been claimed!
    We did it, we got there folks. OK OK, so we're not out of the woods yet. Tracks are still being worked on and there's as ever a ton of behind-the-scenes stuff to take care of but we've hit a real target and milestone, methinks. Since this is the case we're opening up the remainder of the tracks from the OST. They're predominantly short tracks, loops and events which, though not integral to the album add some nice spice to the game. We're opening them up as a cherry on the cake, if you will. 
    If you're familiar with Terranigma you may have noticed that none of the "resurrection" tracks feature in the following list. That's because @jnWake has already offered to do a resurrection medley as the last track on the album. Anyways, as many of these new tracks are just a handful of bars they make great medley fodder. So if you want to, you can claim multiple for a single remix. OK they are as follows (click on track for link):
    Origins (Intro movie theme)
    The Gaia Stones (Situation Theme)
    Shopping (Shop theme)
    Amusement (Minigame theme)
    Race in Mushrooms (Minigame theme 2)

    Mysterious Pit (location loop)
    Entrance (situation loop)
    My Beloved Loire (Trigger event loop)

    Defeat (Game Over event)
    Fanfare (Item acquired event)
    Go to Rest (Sleep event)
     SO! Just to reiterate, there are now more tracks available! And as I say, these are optional, for fun and in no way conductive to the success of the album. I've added this to the OP as well. So once again... get claiming! 
    In other news there's just a couple of days until the next submission deadline for some of you. You should know who you are. I PM'ed you a week or so ago. Looking forward to hearing your works!
    Happy mixing peeps!

    I was kinda doubtful on my participation thanks to last week's drama but I'll continue as long as the project is alive.
    However, I'm not sure I can make the deadline lol.
