Souperion

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.

Mind Flip~, mind blown. It's hard to find anything to say about it other than "excellent." Now you just need to make a version that combines parts of this with Flight of the Peacock. Thanks for making this piece.

Trailer time!
 
 

Check the first page for a new (and probably second to last) update.  Its time to build some pre-release hype!

For everyone feeling a little sad today:
 
Sorry for poor video editing skills

So I did my first attempt at a speedrun the other day -- behold the 20th fastest Tetris Attack Stage Clear run: 


(pretty sure I can get top 15 if I keep working at it)

Hey everyone!
Here is a newly uploaded video of another arrangement I've made - A Secret of Mana Fantasia for full Orchestra taken from the Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu Soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta.  Secret of Mana was originally made for the SNES but has since enjoyed a remake. The music in this Fantasia include "Fear of the Heavens", "Into the thick of things", "a Wish", and "Fly into the Unknown".  The pieces linked very well together in order to contrast the many atmospheres and emotions the game has in the course of the adventures it holds. 
Disclaimer:  Original music is by Hiroki Kikuta, visuals are screenshots of in-game footage and artwork.
 
 

Storm Eagle! Huzzah. Really like your variations on this classic gem. The piano and synth bells are a nice choice of instrumentation, a pleasing contrast to the guitar elements. I'd experiment with the EQ and/or compression of this, the sound of the synths do sound a little crowded, if that makes any sense. Still, I like what you've done here, nice work!

Excellent as always. I do love how easily you can work that Zelda's Lullaby into... just about everything I've heard you share on this forum. Your stylistic approach to remixing is elegant and enriching, do keep it up!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the very first Super Black Bass 3 remix!  Jk, but this seems to be an obscure SNES title.  I couldn't even find the individual track on youtube, let alone other remixes of it.  Didn't see anything on this site either, but I could've missed something.  I've never played this game, but I stumbled upon the track while listening through a relaxing SNES music compilation by SNES Drunk (highly recommended), and I thought I could do something with it.  Classic remake with a few of my own touches and some ambiance.  I really enjoyed this track, and gave the OST a listen and found a few gems.  If you like SNES music, it's definitely worth a try:
If anyone out there wants to build/collab on this, let me know and I can provide my stems.  Seems like there's a lot of solo/freestyle potential in this track!  I'm also trash with drums (just used basic FL Studio loops), so I'm sure anyone could improve.  
Hope someone enjoys my rendition or at least finds a cool new (old) OST!

The first 30 seconds hooked me. Aspects of wonder, mystique, and a bit of intrigue nicely woven together with an enthralling and restrained energy. Yup, I can see the beginning credits right now.... ah, that's lovely. Good work!

More Goonies! This is a nice piece of work here, everything blends nicely together. Go get yourself a pizza, you've earned it.

Best wishes for our suffering musicians out there. And maybe the rest of the world while things sort out. Regardless of whether or not things are being done right about this pandemic, I hurt for those really struggling from this abnormal situation.
A full transition to online college classes was not in my spring plans, but it's a negligible complaint. At least studies keep one busy. When neglecting that, it's back to FL Studio, Starcraft 2, or other computed time vacuums. I find it somewhat amusing to be part of this fascinating demographic that can, in response to "what have you been up to during quarantine," say "oh, produced about X novice remixes." And hey, for what it's worth, if any of you are struggling with musical motivation, drop a piece by at the workshop forum. I'll be lurking around there to try and put in a few good words.

Good effect on the piano solo, it really leaves ya itching for the shredding to return. Nice work on the shredding, by the way. It's pretty tight and solid to me, kinda wish there was more. Good job!

A first of 6 songs for the soundtrack of "Chronicles of The Elven Kingdom".
This song is a medley of the other 5 songs(not yet completed)in this soundtrack.
Kind of dark and haunting, yet dreamy.
Extensive use Shevannai and Symphobia 3: Lumina.
This is an original composition.
 
Feedback is more than welcome.
 
 
My previous contribution here was some inspired Dragon Quest Music that I posted in the Game Music Section
 

Thank you for checking it out! So rad. Also, love the Mass Effect pickup - am a huge fan of Jack Wall's work on the first and second games. He messaged me back once. I cried. That's it.

Wow. This piece really demands a listener's attention, or maybe I was just close to a stupor when I clicked on it. It pulses, it blasts at times, this opus is alive. Could fit a lot of sci-fi action scenes. I might have to go play Mass Effect with this playing. Nice work, thanks for sharing this one!

Heyas. So I've been putting this one together for a while now, and the whole quarantine sitch pushed me to finally finish it up. I'm so stoked on it! Yea self-isolation! Benign like a bomb.
Compositionally, this is an interesting one for me. I don't often stretch technically a lot with this kind of stuff, but I don't know, this felt like it called for a little more oomph and chutzpah than usual. The outro, especially, ended up with a real Meshuggah flavour through it (and with some polyrhythms on top, just to be a complete ass). Incidentally I don't ever want to have to perform the drums for that section it drove me absolutely insane how do those guys do that every night w o w .

Anyways, please do enjoy and commentary is totally welcome x

Sorry for not replying to everyone individually. I guess I didn't expect so many responses. I easily get overwhelmed.
For those suffering depressions or other mental problems: I hope you still have access to professional help, even if it has to be via phone or something. This is not a good time to be left to your own devices.
Also: this may be a good time for people to think about life, death and your relationship with God. We recently celebrated Jesus' resurrection in church ("Easter"). As a believer, I am not surprised or shocked by the whole Corona event (that's not to say I don't think its terrible that so many people got sick and died, not to mention the effects on the economy). Whatever happens, I know God is in control and eventually, all sin, sickness and death will be conquered when Jesus returns from heaven. In the mean time, the crisis is taking away securities that are not really securities. So our trust in God needs to be all the stronger. Seek Him while you still can.
