    This was a winter break project that took a bit longer than expected since I wanted to record myself on bass.  I tried :).  The audio chip has perfect timing and it's hard to replicate that.  Could be better but still happy with how it turned out.

    original: 

    This track is unique to the SNES port, which I haven't played much except to appreciate the level 1 vibes.  Why did the composers decide to use these lush jazz chords here (and seemingly nowhere else in the game?)  I dunno but there might be an interesting study in the BGM of PC -> SNES ports from back in the day.

    outside influences here include pink floyd, KC, pat metheney

    thank,

     

     

     

    "A Night At The Old Site" Celeste - Resurrections Orchestral ReMix (WIP)

    A few comments after a couple listens.

    The original piece owes a lot of its drama to contrasts.  Your arrangement has a pattern of contrasting loud/soft sections.  However I think you could take it a bit further.  For example the soft section from 3:10 - 3:50 could be softer. 

    Try adding more dynamics (loud / soft variation) within the sections.  This is a bit more tricky. I can't tell you exactly where - you'll have to feel it out.  A good place to start would be the strings.  The volume is very even throughout.  I noticed one drop in volume at around 5:35 (which is a nice tension-release) but then it stays even for a while.  Especially during the loud parts, when one voice gets loud (horns at 5min.), consider making the other voices (strings, etc.) a bit quieter, to give them more space.

    The cymbal crashes in the beginning could be a bit more subtle.  Since they're the only percussion in the first 2 minutes of the arrangement, it draws a lot of attention, and imho raises the temperature a bit too quickly.

    Drums are a bit repetitive overall.  It can work but I think you could put some more flourishes / lines in there.

    The source material is one of my favorite Castlevania tunes, snes stage 4a + 4b.  The idea is was to give it a 70's bossa nova vibe (like Jobim's Stone Flower).  It's mostly finished, my ears need a break before making the final touches.

    Secret of Mana - National Scar

    Been a while,

    Quarantine boredom has brought back all my old bad habits, including messing around with FL.

    It's not quite up to modern OCR standards but I had fun making it. Tips on production are welcome. If the lockdown continues I might try another.
