Anyone wanting to get involved (or that ARE involved) with An OverClocked Christmas or Halloween events (AOCC / AOCH), the channels are now open! 😄 (Don't want to annoy people with pings, but if you want to get access to it, grab a Collab or Remixer role (just @ me)), and come on down!!! ❤️ INVITE TO THE CRAC SERVER: https://discord.gg/A5wgUhzJ (We've got cookies. :3 )

I'll endeavour to throw my hat into the ring this year. :)

WIP -- "Cleansing the Lands", V2: VQ & Friends - Cleansing the Lands (Cursed Earth - GEO) - Arrange V2 WIP.mp3 Arrangement is FULLY DONE, unless collaborators want to jump on-board and add their own stuff to it. ♥ No mixing, no mastering, just volume faders adjusted and the instruments. No FX on tracks. Will have no time for Bard or Ranger unfortunately before the 30th is over, but I am proud of all three tracks and hope they're of some service to your vision and this album. o/ :)

WIP -- "Cleansing the Lands", V1.5: VQ & Friends - Cleansing the Lands (Cursed Earth - GEO) - Arrange V1.5 WIP.mp3

Sadly, won't have time for Bard and Ranger updates, but Bard (outside of some melodic change-ups and tweaks) is the full arrangement and current WIP, (no mixing tho, ofc), and there's room for additions and improvements. Ranger needs a lot more work and refinement, but the concept is strongly there. It's not a complete arrangement, but compositionally is very feasible. I've dedicated most of my remaining few days' time to Geomancer, and will probably have the latest WIP available on here by the end of the 30th, so, in time for the end of auditions. :) Hope the 3 at least has some promise...

Heya. 05) "Remembrance" ~ Theme of Cid ~ done by Proph from the WATER album already uses Nostalgia, I believe, hence why it's listed: https://ocremix.org/album/73/final-fantasy-v-the-fabled-warriors-ii-water The idea for this and what Darke wanted is here: Each class from the game is what you're remixing, as in, a theme for them, or a main character. :) It's why the ones who have placed auditions in went: [Class Name] - ReMixer's Name, if that helps.

Mayhaps doing NOC with either VS Dark Samus or VS Metroid Prime (from, ofc, MP1) might be interesting. :)

Well, color me interested. ^_^ Would have to revisit the OST again, since I haven't played the game in years, but I'll do something. If there's Sector recommendations you might have for me, whether it's Normal or Depths, hook a sister up. ♡

FWIW Wars had 2 games, AFAIK. I dunno if their soundtracks are radically different.

Count me in, homie. :) Played most of the Halo series up to 4, so can try to do something from one of them beforehand. Pretty sure there was one from Reach or ODST that was baller, so I'll have a listen to their soundtracks and see. ♡

Hey there! Apologies for the delay -- I have been extremely busy as of late, sorting a lot of stuff in my head and dealing with the auditions for an OCR album that recently had a resurgence. ^_^; I'll get back to this in no time! Thank you! Welcome aboard! :D I'm a big fan of creepy stuff, too. :) It's not too late at all. ♥ But if you have a rough WIP you'd like to send me via PM, I'd love to hear it, especially if it's the Boss Theme from Terranigma inspired by Bloody Mary herself! :P And I didn't know that about Terranigma's anniversary, so that would even be more hype! I'm happy to take it for a spin, and you're welcome to go find people to collab with, for both/either performing something or mixing the track. It might be best to do it via OCR's Discord server and ask around, but I plan on trying to master the tracks myself, so if you can find someone to help you do the mixing, that'd be ace. Would you like me to add your track to the list? ^_^ Sure! That'd be great. You can send me a WIP of it, or the complete version of it that is akin to the one you submitted to the Judges' Panel via PM here. It's OK if you cannot do an unmastered WAV of it, tho -- we can work around that somehow. :) Would you like me to add your track to the list? :D @Troyificus@The Coop@Unknown Pseudoartist -- I did receive your individual PMs, and I will get to them and reply ASAP. Once I get my head above water and see the results for the audition tracks come past the 30th of June, I'll be in a better spot to focus-in on your work. :) TYSM for your patience in the meantime, and sending me the mail!

WIP -- "Together, in this Life, as Warriors of Light", V1: VQ & Friends - Together, in this Life, as Warriors of Light (Tenderness in the Air - BRD) - Arrange V2.mp3

**TERTIARY AUDITION TRACK** This is equal parts an "audition thread" and "a record of progress / WIPing" until the due date arrives. :D This is the source: Also called = 'Tenderness in the Air'. INFLUENCES: Bardcore / Neo Soul / R&B MAIN REFERENCES: An Example of Bardcore ??? ??? The Town Theme / Tenderness is the main source utilized for this remix, transposed from the Key of C to A Major. Track's purposely minimalist, to try and encapsulate the very essences of Lo-Fi with Renaissance Faire / Bardic aesthetics, paired with R&B rhythm section goodness. What I tried to do here was imagine there's 5 bards playing (for each of the main characters you are in the party with: Bartz, Lenna, Faris, Krile & Galuf), and have--what I felt--were songs closely associated with them that weren't their direct theme, but were a big part of their character development and were the songs I remember them for at very important plot-points in the game (no spoilers here: IYKYK). Each of the 3 supporting source choices I made sure were material already used in the previous albums, as well (as callbacks to them after so many years of the remaining 3 albums in this series being on hiatus) whilst also ensuring I'm not snatching away songs not yet covered for future audition pieces. Plus, two of these I really wanted to do, but were already done, so. . .lol. :D [It's 5 AM here, and I am still working on this -- fuck it, can't configure and am frustrated with trying to mash a bunch of sources together, but I will stick to the idea of the 5 main characters of FFV playing different instruments that can be interpreted as representative of their characteristics in-game.] This one is a bit more...aimless and free-form (hence why I don't have a usual 2nd and 3rd reference right now), because I am still trying to figure out how to formulate the direction for this, but I'll probably be pow-wowing with people like Bonnie, Colorado and Dyluck to see how I can shape this bad boy into something lyrical and appeasing in that sense, whether or not it's me singing it or writing said lyrics. That said, for the moment, I'm just diving right in, and seeing where the river current, booze, shimmering starlight and warm camp fire near the village takes me; (I've drowned in said river, help me). :P I also might struggle with super pretty, melodic content, in such a short time (took me ***absolute a g e s*** to write new stuff for tracks like Premonition from the FF8 album and Zoness from the recent Star Fox stuff), so please bear with me -- especially juggling 4 different sources, trying to make them unique and fit the genre bill (ex: Bardcore link sounds mega exciting and textural due to all the organic instrument sounds with lots of arpeggio runs and chord play because of the source itself, and I've barely scratched the surface of writing for real instruments with those things in mind, despite previous remixes I've made). Getting super deep and complex on melody and harmony lines takes me a bit, so if it sounds barebones for now, that will be why. But the concept'll be there. :) WIPs will be down below, as usual. Thanks for checking this out and giving the opportunity(ies) to try.
