  1. It's a minimalistic soundscape, but I think that ends up lending itself to the style. I found it seemed to fill out in parts.

    Also, this is particularly interesting to me because of the call and response between all the synths around 1:56, good use of finding interesting ways to play with melody while sticking with the same instrumentation - it keeps from getting boring that way. I like it personally, I find myself bobbing my head to it.

  2. Here's the Great Fairy Fountain as a jazz waltz. Just got a new bass VST so finally I have all 3 (piano, bass, and drums - the triforce of jazz).

    This style is really fun, and I like to think I've gotten a little intimate with this sound lately.

    I'm trying to take a pretty traditional trio approach here, mostly influenced by the trio album Red Garland's Piano. A somewhat obvious influence for the waltz is Bill Evans. Taking some notes from past submissions about structure problems. I think this one has that all fixed up and has a pretty clear structure. 

    I modified the original changes just a hair as well which you can see in this lead sheet:

    Remix:

    Miss Fairy, You Sure Are Great

     

  3. Could you give me a timestamp for where you think it sounds jarring? I just don't understand exactly what you mean. 

    I would love to include saxophone or harmon trumpet, but, right now I only know how to play trumpet slightly, and currently, I don't have anyone at school who could, but... 

    I do know ONE person who could be able to do it... maybe I'll write a part out and send it over. Saxophone is out of the question, nobody I know plays saxophone well enough for what I need.

    Thanks for the feedback!

  4. This has gotta be one of the best source arrangements in the whole Zelda series. If my mix sounds good right now - don't fool yourself! You don't like my arrangement, you like the composition.

    So I'm giving this source some sweet lovin'.

    v.4:

    Version 3 felt too muddy. Opted for a brighter sound, and less reverb. Added some limiting and very very tiny amounts of compression.

  5. In developing as a musician, I'm trying to start doing new things - this includes longer practice times, broadening of repertoire, and of course, spending more time thinking about arranging. I've been reading an awful lot of sheet music lately, something I desperately need. Hopefully this arrangement (not yet done) reflects that in some way. 

    This song seemed like an obvious choice for a jazz rendition considering it's already structured around fourths and seventh chords. I'm not sure if I will get this recorded live, but it is possible. It would be really nice.

    Let me know of any feedback! Still early in production, will be a while before I finish it, as there are some more pressing projects to work on.
