[PureLand - Secret of Mana, Old Synth Cover]

Thanks !

With the instruments you've chosen, it feels close in mood to A Wish.

I am ashamed to admit that I have to search which track is "A wish" in the OST ...

But you're absolutely right, the ambiance is pretty close, maybe because of the smoothed attack pads.

Gario,

Sorry for my misunterstanding about the prefix, its kind to you to clarify, thanks for edited the prefix.

Indeed, for this track, it was not my intention to submit it for he site, (yes,very close to the original, thats why I use "arrangement" in the title, I will change it for "cover")

I was just looking for feedback, like yours about the EQ.

[PureLand - Secret of Mana, Old Synth Cover]

Hello,

I made this arrangement when I bought, for my birthday last year, two "old" synth : a Korg Triton R & a Kurzweil K2000 R.

It was the excuse to try the midi sequencing new feature in Ardour3.

So, I score the song and edit it in MuseScore, import the midi files in A3 and play the sequence through the Triton & the K2KR, and track the two synth at the same time. Works very well.

About the arangement :

I try to play with the "frozen in time" feeling that I have when I play the pureland level in SoM. So I use this sort of ClockWork sound to materialize the "time" backgroud that I have in mind, and I associate a crispy EQ + wind sound to create a sort of cold ambiance for the "frozen" idea.

Feedback is welcome (don't be to harsh, this is my first participation to OCR )

(I'm not sure about the prefix "ModReview" is this the OK use for asking feedback ?)

[The Newbie Introduction Thread: Come on in and say hello!]

Hello all,

I'm Valvalion, I live in Europe.

I play music since I was kid, and enjoy particulary listen and play video games music.

I play guitar & bass guitar and violin (I suck at violin), I like programing & sequencing, I use a lot PureData and I chose the painful way to use only open source software to produce my music (my DAW is Ardour3, I use MuseScore to compose and sometimes Lilypond, stuff like that )

I experiment a lot : field recording, circuit bending, procedural composition, no-input music, acousmatic stuff, granular synthesis ... , and time to times, I like create instruments.

I'm a total GearSlut, I love to find/design/make weird pieces of gear.

I've been using online resources to get and listening video games music (remixed or not) , started in the 90s with the very still alive www.vgmusic.com and, obviously with OCR wich I am a long time downloader.

I think that the first ORC stuff I ever listened is the FFVII album "voice of the lifestream" in the mid 2000s.

So, as I recently start to make remixes & cover of video games music, I tought that it was a good idea to create an account here and starts to be not only a user but a contributor and have some feedback for my little works.

You can find here some of my field recording and other experiments : www.youtube.com/user/valvalion
