Is there any update on the status of this album? Should we be moving forward with our arrangements as planned? Cheers!

I made some changes to my mix. I updated my post with a new link.

I just finished my first draft (which is pretty near complete) of my actual arrangement for the album. I'd appreciate any and all feedback. There's still a long time before the album will be released, so if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. The link is posted over in the private forum.

I just posted my WIP of "Blue Fields" in the private project subforum, along with a short explanation about it.

Sorry I haven't chimed in in a while. I've been finishing up a track for another compilation album that's coming out soon. Now that that's out of the way, I'm able to get back to my arrangement of "Blue Fields". After a lot of careful listening, I've pretty much finished the note-for-note copy of the original. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it! I don't think I want to stray too far from the original, so I'll be focusing more on instrumentation and hopefully giving the piece a fresh skin without making it feel too unfamiliar.

I'll also add this link to the first post so it's easier for people to find!

Super ultimate double-post time!

Just wanted to say, PROJECT REMIXERS -- go look for that secret project subforum. It's under "Projects" on the forum here. 

If you can post there, please do. That way we'll know you have access. Also if you have a work in progress, please make a new thread in that private subforum and link your WIP there for people to give feedback on.

 

Thanks!!

I can't seem to find the forum, Brandon. What's it called?

Excited to hear some WIPs. Hoping some of the remixers just send their finished songs to make it a little easier.

Wahhh this is really exciting. Couldn't have dreamed of a better result for the FF8 album with all these people involved, way back in 2010 when I was first thinking of this idea I had no idea it could be such a big deal some day.

Interested in an art style for the artwork. Hoping for something very good. We've been lucky with the art for FF1/FF2, but I'd like to get something from a different artist with a different style, though with quality just as high. I also like the idea of composite art that mixes real-world photography with digitally painted or 3D modeled assets. 

Is there a date that you'd like our first WIP turned in by? You stated that you hope to have the album finished by 2018, so I'm wondering if you have some sort of timeline in mind as far as iterations for tracks go?

Thanks for putting me down for "Blue Fields". Really looking forward to this project!
