Here's a little arrange of Silent Hill 2 'True', also containing short leitmotifs from 'Theme of Laura Reprise', 'Promise Reprise' as well as 'Silent Hill theme' from SH1.
First time I'm using guitar prominently in a remix (please don't kill me) and attempting to mix it with proper panning, etc. Not trying to fool any of the talented guitarists here of course. Just having a go at putting the fine work of OCR resident Sages, Seph and Josh to good use with this fun learning experiment.
Hope it's enjoyable somehow, and happy Halloween season to y'all! 🎃

Alright folks, got some news for this one - yes, the album is still moving along!
Even better, it's been submitted in it's entirety!
I've listened to the finished product with some of my fellow judge peers (as well as with Bahamut, the original director for the album) and it seems like it shouldn't have any issues under review, so I can finally say that this thing is happening, and it's happening soon. There will be some teasers and such in the coming months to get y'all excited about the album, but in the meantime I'll share what I think is the *second* most fun organ bit from the album. Ain't the whole song, but I did have a lot of fun making an organ part for one of my tracks so I figured why not spread the joy a little bit?
Actually pretty excited to have this submitted, and not just because it'll be a decades-long endeavor coming to a close, but also because the album sounds great. Will it be worth the wait?
... well it was a long wait so I can't be sure, but it'll definitely be worth spending some time with, that's for sure!

Need a vibe check, haha.
Did a lot of work fixing this track, primarily eradicating dissonance and clashing / fuzziness due to too much shit going on in a single section, so I've been ripping unnecessary parts away, refitting/re-engaging others, re-writing the entire drumline and bass from scratch and with better loop samples that fit rhythmically with supporting the beat and low-end, etc. Took a lot of time and care in analyzing the previous rejection decision, absorbing what Josh, Hemo and Seph said in a previous Office Hours, and employing some needed, professional outside help and discussion on the track. Doing my best to try and write-up my own drums and beats with one-shot samples, drum machines or MIDI, rather than relying so much on loops that aren't hand-crafted.
I hope it's a ton more feasible now and capable of being Panel-worthy.
Still being mixed insofar as fine-tuning but I've reworked the entire mixing and processing FX and automation lanes. It's about 90% done. No side-chain or mid-side...uh...anything yet, but I had to rip them out and do them from scratch and didn't have time before Office Hours today. D:

VQ - Shinobi III & Rise of the Robots - We Built an Edifice WIP (NEW).mp3

Here's an uplifting Hip-Hop / Breakbeat / World arrangement of 'Japonesque' from Shinobi 3 aka Super Shinobi 2.
Just a little project I had fun with and wanted to share. Hope y'all get some enjoyment out of it. (^-^)/
 
Remix based on this source, composed by Hirofumi Murasaki:

"Recording wind chimes" is not in the same space as using machine-learning algorithms trained on consentless work.
The first post of this thread also says don't share work generated generated wholly or in-part by UDIO. Come on man.

Don't try to throw the OCR mission statement in my face and think that that somehow proves your point. Nowhere in that mission statement does it say that we need to treat all forms of music in the world equally, regardless of whether it was written by a person or generated by a machine-learning algorithm. That's not there. We are dedicated to the appreciation of and promotion of video game music as an artform. This has, for the last 25 years, meant recognizing that the composers who wrote music for video games created art. They are artists. They are human beings who made thoughtful decisions about the music they wrote. They created with intent.
Can you use machine-learning tools to create artwork with intent? Sure. I pretty clearly stated in the announcement that I don't have a problem with machine learning as a technology, but that I don't want people to post music on OCR from services that trained their models on music that was not provided with consent from the artists who created that music. The technology is not the problem; the people building these services using resources they're not supposed to are the problem. These folks have not figured out how to build these services without plundering the collective creative works on the internet. No thanks.

I may come to regret what this will do to the crumbs of my remaining spare time, but I want to join in. I see this as a great opportunity to explore Koshiro's music, which I'm not exactly familiar with and thus is a good "neutral" ground for me, and also to work on my own production and arrangement skills.

Count me in!

Since I was in GSM2 and had some success (my team ended up winning), why not join this one. I'm unfamiliar with both series but I'd like to try anyway. Only problem is that I'm going to be out of town for a weekend in July (due to my birthday).

I'm not super familiar with either series and I've got a few events happening in July, but I'm happy to fill in for either team. Let's get mashin'!

I'm in! August is definitely doable

put me in coach!!
 
EDIT: won't have availability this fall for GSM3, unfortunately. but i look forward to seeing all of your tracks!

I am also interested, but would likely be unavailable towards the last few weeks since I am visiting Japan from the 2nd week in September.

I'll be busy on and off through August but my schedule should free up after that, I'd be happy to join either way.

I'm in!

As a Koshiro stan, how could I say no? 😉

I'd love to join! 

You already know I'm in!

Sign me up, as per usual. :)

Back at it again, m'friends.  Hope y'like.
 

I'm in!

I gave the original a listen, and while it sounds amazing in its' own right, I kind of like this version better.  The section from around 1:07 - 2:30 was great stuff.  Those sparkling bell tones were on point, as well as the all the little percussion elements.  The drop at 1:04 was quality. 

If life permits I'll jingle dem bells. 🎄

Sign me up, as per usual. :)

count me in for holiday cheer :)
