A big fan of Star Control 2 here. So I enjoyed this! Fun crunchy sound. Is it so that 0:19-0:50 the harmony is a bit "richer" than the original? I really enjoyed that change!

The Orz samples unfortunately feel a bit "pasted on top" of the music. They jump out both sonically and rhythmically. They could be made to sit in the mix a bit more smoothly mixing-wise, which might be tough to do as both the voices and the music are quite rough. I understand the music is like this by design and I like it. Rhythmically the voices from the game I don't think ends up being very "musical" as it is. Maybe you could try cutting up the voice samples and try to align them to the music more rhythmically. Bits of it work good, like at 1:03 "we will have a happy party now", the "a happy party now" lines up with the music really nicely, though the "we will have" could still be massaged into the rhythm better.

In any case, this was really fun to listen to! The 3DO modulations are cool to bring along, the outro was well done (good way to wrap up as the original is of course a loop) and I also liked the panning on some of the effects!

Thank you very much for your comment!

Yes I made the part you are talking about richer with more melody-accompanying middle notes/chords.
As the original PC-version also has a similar "crunchy" sounding I find it to be very fitting and personally love the Amiga/lowres sound.

I understand what you mean with the voices, guess I could have flexed them more and could have worked out the general sound of them more, but I wanted to use them as original as possible and mixing is still a thing I am working on.

Anyway I am very happy you enjoyed it! 

[Star Control 2 - Hyperspace Theme Music Remix - *featuring the Orz*]

Hello *extremely*! I hope you like to *play*! This is my lowres-remix of the hyperspace theme music from Star Control 2/The Ur-Quan Masters featuring incoming messages by the orz! Built from the ground up. For the most part I took the PC-version as reference and the ending with the modulations from the 3DO-Version.

Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*!!!

 

[Save Room Music in the style of Resident Evil and Silent Hill with piano]

I always loved the Resident Evil soundtracks, especially the save room themes from the older games. This is one of many themes I composed for a hypothetical mystery adventure game and it turned out very inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

 

[Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbush Symphony (Bramble Scramble) piano cover]

aka "Brambles" aka "Stickerbrush Symphony". Playing the Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES is one of my fondest memories of my childhood and this is another magical track by David Wise and my favorite of Donkey Kong Country 2.

 

[ecco the tides of time - title theme - piano cover (genesis/megadrive version)]

My piano remix cover of the ecco: the tides of time title theme. I recorded the different voices all with the piano and combined them later, so it has a similar feeling to the original version. I only played the first few minutes of this game but I played through the first one and was very impressed by it’s dark and mysterious tone, even after so many years. But man, I guess it’s the hardest game ever made, even with cheats I barely got through it - but it was worth it!

 

[Donkey Kong Country 3 - Water World (piano cover)]

Thank you for your nice and detailed feedback! ?

[mysterious theme - (original videogame music soundtrack)]

This is one of many themes I composed for a hypothetical mystery adventure game.
(This song is also a loop, that's why the ending seems a little sudden.)

 

 

[Resident Evil 2 - Save Room Theme Cover (Secure Place)]

This is my cover and tribute to one of my favorite games of all time, Resident Evil 2 (1998). Inspried by the Resident Evil Orchestra Album and with a few new things added.

 

[Donkey Kong Country 3 - Water World (piano cover)]

pianocover of "water world" from Donkey Kong Country 3, originally composed by Eveline Novakovic/Fischer for the Super Nintendo.

I wanted to do a pianoversion of this song for a long time, diving into it I was very surprised of the twisted chordprogressions and classical influences this piece must have had. Playing the Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES is one of my fondest memories of my childhood. Hope you like it ??

[The 7th Guest Remix]

Some time ago i have arranged my own version of the 90s PC-Game "The 7th Guest". Hope you like it =). I really loved those games as a kid and still play them today on the mac. I made the motivs a little bit different than the original and in another key.
