    Yay! My favorite OC tradition. :)

    Only just poked at it as I want to save this for later when I eat dinner, but I can already tell it's going to be great. Great job all!

    My only tiny bit of criticism are the track name seem a little generic, OC always have fun with their naming, don't just call a song "source"!

    BTW: Did you happen to have sources and composer breakdowns for the tracks that aren't obvious? OC used to be good a doing this, but the last several albums have been neglecting these fields...  and I'm waaay to rusty myself, I can tell "Ice Paradise Zone - Act 2" is no doubt from a Sonic game, and there are a lot of traditional sings I see too, ie. "O Holy Night", "Greensleeves", etc., but also a lot are going over my head here, and I'm drawing blanks. (damn my old age!!!)

    I had given alternative titles but erm…

    It's the women's world cup! We're excited to host the world cup 2023 compo event! The source is pretty simple - soccer video games or animated films. The theme must follow one of the three themes:

    1. Practice (if you've ever watched professionals practice, many times they have some high-energy theme music for practicing)
    2. In-game (in a game - it's tense, so the music here is intense theme music)
    3. Victory (when you win there must be some kind of victory theme no?)

    When you submit - make sure you explain what theme(s) you used and how it applies to soccer (or the women's world cup 2023)!

     

    The rules for the compo are simple:

    1. No plagiarism
    2. Songs should fit the theme of the event (as described in the competition)
    3. Songs should be based on a video game or animated film soundtrack that originated in that film/vg.
    4. Songs should be based on content that is age appropriate (avoid adult movies)
    5. Songs will need to be uploaded on Thasauce (https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/ARHC4) in order to get votes

    @starla provided an example of an in-game "intense" theme:

     

    AnimeNewsNetwork has a good article on animes to watch for the world cup:

    Tetris Attack Album - Performing Prelude Portfolio of Puzzles (name pending)

    Tetris Attack Album

    This was a great game I played with my wife when we first got married nearly 20 years ago.  The original album project was set up at that time and I had accepted 3 songs.  The original thread is still around and there was plenty of interest at that time.  The songs I worked on I did a lot of it when I was sent to Louisiana for Hurricane Katrina relief (I built/maintained the supporting software for various gov't agencies, like power, rebuilding roofs, etc).  It was here that I had a lot of time (no internet, very little power except through the RV as there were no hotels) and being alone at night I just wrote music (3 songs).  In any case, I loved these songs and I wanted to put them towards the album - it was abandoned so I decided to start a new one.  I'm looking for people interested and will ask to move this to the album thread if I get enough interest.

    I'm also thinking of possibly doing more puzzle game albums depending on how this one turns out.

    I plan on programming the website - though I may recruit some highschoolers/college students (friend's kids) looking for experience to add to their resume.

    Positions Recruiting:

    • Remixers / Musicians
    • Art
    • Co-director: someone who has led albums before who can help me organize this (tell me what I need to do, what I'm missing, etc).

    Rules:

    Each song has a core instrument/style of play to represent the character and its critical/panic.

    For example, Raphael the Raven (Lunar) stage and the panic/critical stage would both be a violin.  The normal stage would be playful violin but the panic/critical would be a horror violin style.

    The actual genre of music could be anything as long as the normal stage has a positive vibe and the panic stage has an aggressive/panicked vibe.

    I'll clearly add a list of each instrument corresponding to each character/stage below - though this is currently in progress.
