Hi The Nikanoru!
First off, we're glad to read that you enjoyed listening! Secondly, we want to thank you for your two bits. It really means a lot to us for you to take the time out of your day to not only listen, but to come up with feedback. Many <3's to a fellow Canadian.
We decided to post here for a couple of reasons:
We wanted to advertise our youtube channel a bit now that we're getting back into doing this after a three year hiatus.
Since we're thinking of submitting something to OCRemix in the future, we wanted to hear some feedback on the covers that we're working on right now to help us gauge where we're at.
This project was kind of multi-purpose, with the main focus to make ourselves much more well-rounded musicians. By doing these covers, we looked to improve a few skills (i.e, transcribing/ear training, arranging, musicianship/playing, recording/mixing, etc.). You can even tell how long a way we've come if you compare the earlier releases to the more recent ones. Generally, I would say that we stick fairly close to the source materials. Giving a little bit of flavour here and there, but making sure that it really brings back the memory that people have of the song. When we DO decide to submit something, it will likely be a more creative take on a tune (or maybe a medley?).
On a side note, we marked this cover to be wrapped up and will likely not make changes to it at this point in lieu of moving on to new covers. We are still taking your observations into consideration moving forward, though!
Thanks again,
Eric & Marc (Clangemonium)
