Souperion

I got hit with a bunch of IRL stuff recently, but came back to this tonight and I hope it's done now. I took note of what you said about the hypersaws. I think i was just ear fatigued when I put them in, but i never liked em after that, but I finally had some time to get back to it. Hope you like it.
 
 

Grand, elegant, and flighty. The only thing missing is Kass' accordion. Nicely work, yet again.

A wave of Zelda nostalgia has come over me recently and I felt compelled to remix the Title theme of Zelda: OoT.
The first melody you hear in the game after turning it on is gorgeous and I had to pay tribute with this lofi/hip hop inspired cover/remix.
I had a lot of fun making it and plan to do more Zelda remixes in the future.
I hope you enjoy it!
 
 

Well, it's not Zelda CDI.  Or is it???  MY BOI.  This round is what TRUE warrior's strive for!!  Also, I wonder what's for DINNER? 

Thank you for the comment! I am heavily considering just submitting it and seeing what happens.

Just when you thought Hateno couldn't get any more serene or homey. I admit, I was pleased to hear Zelda's Lullaby fitted into this. Your delicate attention to detail never ceases to amaze. Great work as always.

This trainwreck, Jojo's-Bizarre-Adventure-meets-a-Cannibal-Corpse-album-cover-pandemic-existence I'm in has not slowed down even a little bit. It's been a new, high level gut punch every day. 
Highlights from the last five weeks include:
* I discovered my best friend of 18 years, and one of the very few I have left at all, as well as someone who got me into Ocremix to start with, had waged a full-scale smear campaign against me to my ex-wife behind my back while he knew we had plans to get remarried. He sold me out as someone who's on the verge of going on a shooting rampage, telling straight up lies, misconstruing things I told him in confidence that he used as ammo against me. And for what? Just so he could exchange lewd videos with her.
I can't even compare the sheer scale of that betrayal to anything. I'm just as jaw-on-the-floor shocked now as when I discovered it 5 weeks ago. It's explicit. I have screencaps of it. There is no ambiguity whatsoever. And he still had the gall to talk to me as always with his other face like he was justified for it. When I confronted him, he wasn't even sorry. "Why would I defend you?" he said. I called him a hedonist at one point, he took that title in cheerfully.
It's the kind of thing that you go pay a local voodoo witch to curse so there is some kind of cosmic karmic reprisal, but there's no point, whatever karmic reprisal would be in store for him has already been going on his entire life. There's nothing to take back as punishment. It's the most senseless thing I've ever seen with my own eyes, and I've seen actual paranormal shit.
* Oh yeah, and his efforts to derail my remarriage were pretty ***damn successful. My progress there went so far back that my depression relapsed into overdrive and I had panic attacks every night for two weeks.
* My dad's cancer recovery has not been working out. He still can't talk and is eating out of a ***damn medical bag.
* Two weeks ago, my dad also announced he was getting divorced from his wife who is not my mom. This is while he can't talk and can't eat anything. He lives 2,000 miles from me and I can't get to him to help him directly.
* One week ago, I learned my dad's wife did NOTHING to help him during his cancer recovery. That's 8 months of leaving him to fend for himself. Also, he's the one that had to move out. My brothers just hauled off and drove across the country to help him out (though no one told me about it until they were already out of the state).
* Got sick one day, non-COVID related, took a nap for a brief bit, woke up and somehow one of my cats got out again. Waited for him to come back for 6 hours, then spent 9:00PM to 7:30AM chasing him all around the mountainous woods trying to get his ass back inside because he refused to come back in on his own for some reason. You ever hike a mountain? Not just the trails, but all the ledges you're walking by that slope obtusely and are covered with bushes and trees? Yeah, do that chasing a fucking cat for 10 hours in the dark until the sun comes up. Literally walking through bushes. I got him back in but my body was cut the fuck up.
* And my worst fear came to life - the cat contracted fleas with him. I lose even less time in the day keeping things COVID kosher and now fighting flea infestation (although I've almost won it).
* Last week I woke up to several responses on Facebook and a few privates messages from a Trump supporter who was threatening serious, call-the-police violent interaction on me for a meme I posted in response to someone's pro-Trump bullshit. This wasn't the typical Trump-thumper chest-thumping, this dude was claiming to me privately he knew where I lived, making a countdown to when he was going to show up, and that he was going to murder me and my cats.
So what did I do? I just responded by posting to him in PM the same meme that set him off to begin with.
Dude blocked me on Facebook from there. Ironically, I'm pretty sure he really was Trump-thumping chest-thumping after all, he just wanted to go a few steps further than most. I've had dozens of folks tell me they're going to find me and fuck me up and not a single one has shown up yet.
* Then came a gut-punch I really was worried about - I got a letter from the IRS saying I still owed them several thousand dollars even though I know I'm paid up for the year. A long and frustrating accounting journey to get into my IRS account while my tax guy is out of the state for several weeks and while the IRS hotline has "extremely limited capacity" to serve me showed that they received my money and still said I owed them that amount. They put my payment in the wrong fucking year. Eventually I got it straightened out, but after all the rest of the shit going on, something like that coming in just feels predictable and typical, right?
* Currently operating at 15% reserves, functioning and power from already challenging atmosphere with depression and depression-medication complications and additional lifestyle complications from COVID-19 while living entropy continues to overclock at 178%.
* Newest gut punch? Another of the last few actual friends I had suddenly died. Suddenly to me, at least, it turns out they'd actually been in a medically induced coma for 25 days. They relapsed into drugs and this batch was cut was something unknown, so it went straight to their brain and began literally eroding it. Then one by one all the organs shut down. Even if they had survived the MI coma, they'd just be a living corpse. So essentially they'd been murdered (and now the third of my classmates that has been murdered out of like 8 at most that had died), they leave behind an 11-year-old child, and what's left of the family does not have the $10,000 it takes to cremate them.
I think I've reached the point where I can call this some "Marquis De Sade shit" without it being exaggerated melodrama.
I darkly wonder how much more of this awaits before I have my heart attack or stroke or both.

Here's my remake of the Hateno Village theme from BotW, the version played during the night.  The original is just a little bit slower...I sped it up a tad to keep it under 4 minutes.  I still think it captures a slower/softer feeling than the original.
Just like my Hateno Day version, I added in the Kakariko Village theme and Zelda Theme the second time around, both which fit in pretty well with the original.  I used some of the game ambience.  Hope you enjoy!  Constructive criticism welcome.
 

Damn, this is quality work man (very authentic to the GameCube!)!  One teensy feedback, that I think Soup-Bauss already covered: The vocals on 2:15 seem less quality as the stuff before.  It took me out of that magical mood that you had set up before that point. Maybe slap on more effects to sort of mask it, or do another take?  Sorry if this is harsh feedback. 
BTW man, can you provide a MIDI for Rundas' Theme?  This is way beyond my level to go by ear.  Chose to edit out the rest of the rant.  Caffiene high + Aspergers = regret.  Lmao. 
 

Here is my remix for Rundas so far! I just need to add some guitar and some other things. This may change quite a bit. So far I have almost everything finished! The voice may not stay as it is. I may use a vocoder. Let me know what you Metroid Prime lovers think about it so far.
 
August 3 Update
Added guitars!
August 4 Update
Added Rundas' Voice!
August 5 Update
New Guitar parts

Haha, that sounds quite scary! I hope you can still get some sleep after this . Thanks for the feedback.

How did you manage to recreate the song that plays every time I wake up in the middle of the night?
Jokes aside. Nice work on the ambiance here. Is it creaking? Horrid breathing? I'm sure not going in there to find out. And it sounds so much better in the dark. Good job!

Very sweet and gentle. Nice work.

Ah, Little Nemo. Nice work here, the source sounds almost too good as a rockin' piece. 

Good old Battle Network, had some real nice pieces. Never played #2, but I'm guessing this is the net overworld music. Nice work on the chill, yet energetic pacing. Makes me wish this played every time I surfed the web. 

The first minute makes me think of sci-fi shooters. All it needs is gunfire, footsteps, and screaming monsters sfx. Really enjoy the additions in the second movement, the piece progresses nicely. Good work. 

Hey everyone!
The Rito Village arrangement I made has now been put into a Video and uploaded to YouTube!  Please enjoy!
 

I know this should make me somber, but it seems the cathartic release is producing the opposite result. I am quite impressed by the delicate mood of this piece. Low in spirit, yes, a little downcast, but not really abject hopelessness and depression. Frustration surfaces in some parts, adding to a complex state of mind. This piece feels like it should be playing to accompany some noble's mild frustration and anguish while wandering his/her estate on a gentle rainy day. Good work here.

Here is a Mana style score that I created by the influence of the Secret of Mana I paid close attention to the elements and the progression to get a sense of making it feel as if it belonged in the game please let me know what you think
 
 

Oh, the memories this brings back. I was barely cognizant when I first played Fury 3, but this... brings it all back. I couldn't remember it before I listened to your piece, but it's all so familiar now. Wish I could have appreciated this song back then, but this is even better.  Thrumming, pulsing atmospheric beats and synths that pushes you to the edge of your cockpit seat. Real nice work here, thanks for revitalizing these memories!

0:00-0:05 Ah, more Aquatic Ambiance. This should- (the F# at 0:06 plays)... oh, my, this going to be good. And it is. The subtle dark twist to this classic is exquisite. I did note that your melody lead (first introduced at 1:17) seems to crowd the other frequencies when it hits the lower notes, shouldn't be too hard to fix. 
Well done with this one, and here's hoping to a resolution to this mass-views situation.

Yeah, another game remix! This time a older childhood fav game "Fury3"
that was released by Microsoft in 1995.
The soundtrack is really awesome. Enjoy the first mission, planet terran in a new version:)
 
 

OC ReMix presents Golden Sun: A World Reignited!

June 30, 2020
Contact: press@ocremix.org

FAIRFAX, VA... OverClocked ReMix today released its 74th free community arrangement album, Golden Sun: A World Reignited. Featuring 37 tracks from 42 musicians, A World Reignited pays tribute to Nintendo's classic Game Boy Advance RPGs Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and is led by first-time director Logan "TSori" Thomas. The album is available for free download at https://reignited.ocremix.org.

A World Reignited assembles a large lineup of musicians interpreting Motoi Sakuraba's scores in a variety of styles across 2 1/2 hours of creative arrangements. A World Reignited was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Camelot or Nintendo; all images, characters, and original compositions are copyright their respective owners.

With nearly 10 long years gone by since the last release from the Golden Sun franchise, A World Reignited allows fans of the series the opportunity to revisit and rekindle their memories exploring the world of Weyard through music with a heavy emphasis on live instruments.

"This story of discovery, exotic locales, forgotten histories, hidden motivations, heroism, and desperation was beautifully embodied in Motoi Sakuraba's incredible soundtrack," noted album director Logan Thomas in appealing to the original games. "Take a new journey from the slopes of Mount Aleph to the shores of the Karagol Sea, from the depths of Madra Catacombs to the tops of the monolithic elemental lighthouses."

The album's artwork -- a beautiful collage of the lighthouses of both GBA titles -- was designed by French illustrator Mikaël "Orioto" Aguirre, already well-known for his lush landscapes inspired by the Golden Sun series as well as other gaming classics.

"Every single person involved went above and beyond what was expected," Thomas added. "The quality of this album and the rapidity with which it has been completed is a direct result of the talent and unyielding dedication of everyone involved."

Very nice take on such a classic. Strongly reminds me of the version of this on Smash Bros. Brawl. You pulled off a forceful yet delicate feeling, well done.
