Hemophiliac

yeah you don't want to drink tea because tea is a diuretic and it will only dry out the vocal folds and nodules. also the head/chest voice switch is different for every person.

just recently i had travelled to Miami to be a part of the 2 year college national honor choir. i had a red eye flight from california, and when i got there i had pretty much been awake for more then 24 hours. the stress on my body from travel and lack of sleep caused me to get sick...i proceeded to lose my voice. so i drank A LOT of water. by the time of the performance a few days later, i was still sick but i was still able to obtain my full singing range. SO moral of the story, drink a lot of water.

happy birthday man without wings

as of this moment the tracker says 783 seeders and 1154 leechers. i dunno what you're seeing but it should be going.

Thanks everyone, i've actually gotten more notice for my birthday here than in real life. and yes i am really a hemophiliac.

actually they really aren't "NEW" http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/steffanandrews/ <-formerly known as spekkiosaurus http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/pothocket/ <-been up since october of last year.

this piece is a great example of dramatic contrasts in sound. desite being totally different the harsh edge to the drum work and synth bass, goes well with the electric piano and very legato trumpet. the more i listen to this piece the more it grows on me...and hopefully other people feel the same way. excellent work

you're 13 years old or younger? (if so that's why registration isn't working). also it's in the wip forum on ocrop site.

i just posted an audition form for the lead protagonist in the wip forum, if you're interested in auditioning for it, take a look.

i'd like to hear it, go ahead and post it up on the ocrop forums.

that's awesome, glad to have you djp

are you speaking in tongues?? could you please clarify your meaning?

ok here's 2 pieces of news: #1 FORUMS ARE BACK!! go register now http://ocrop.escariot.net/forums/ #2 Hale-Bopp has joined the project, for arranger/singer/musician/whateverer. so things are definitely looking up, and also prophet; i'm glad to have you too

ok i'm back, time to start dealing with any issues i missed. #1 looking into forum registration problem.

guys apparently there is an issue with registering on the forums atm. also, i'm on vacation until about tuesday so i can't deal with it directly at the moment. hang tight we will get things working right soon.

forums will soon be available, stay tuned.

ok so we have a tracklist to represent the sections of the overall project and here's what we've come up with STORY SECTION: GAME AND SONG TITLE: LINK TO ORIGINAL SONG Intro - Kirby Super Star - Mt. Dedede http://hemophiliac.googlepages.com/11Mt.Dedede.spc Journey to Paradise - Donkey Kong Country 2 - Hot Head Bop http://hemophiliac.googlepages.com/dkc2lava.spc The Temptress - Chrono Cross - Ancient Dragon's Fort http://hemophiliac.googlepages.com/ChronoCross124AncientDragonsFort.psf Rejection and Defeat - Ninja Gaiden - Ken Hayabusa's Sword http://hemophiliac.googlepages.com/NG1-Intro2-KenHayabusasSword.spc The Wise Man - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Kaepora Gaebora http://hemophiliac.googlepages.com/LoZ-OoT_20_Kepora_Geboras_Theme.miniusf Battle vs. The Council - Castlevania 4 - Theme of Simon http://hemophiliac.googlepages.com/01.SPC Victory! - Waverace 64 - Main Title http://hemophiliac.googlepages.com/01-MainTitle.miniusf from here what we need are some people to pick up the tracks to arrange and some people to work on lyrics with them to create-win. remember that the story will be reflected in the lyrics and will tell the story throughout the course of the tracks. oops sorry, forgot to put the links to the original songs before :/

tonight sammy and i are going to start discussing songs to remix and structure tonight...look for us on irc or skype to bug us and join the discussion.

actually i think we've decided to do this as multiple songs, rather then a long medly. also back to the genre idea, since it's multiple songs; i'm going to leave the individual sound of each track to it's arranger. i originally liked the idea of a classic rock sound, but i think it'd be cool no matter what we get.

ok so here's a general idea of the story: a young boy is on a journey to paradise, however; to get there he must cross a vast landscape (kind to be decided). along the way he is drawn astray of his goal by a temptress. entering this paradise only comes by a certain manner, and she teaches him the wrong way to enter. so he arrives only to find himself rejected by a council from entering so he leaves defeated. so our protagonist begins his long journey home. on the first night of travel, he rests, and during this rest he dreams. he dreams of his older sister telling him he cannot give up. waking up he feels the strength of his sister's resolution and not wanting to disappoint her(for she was the inital reason for leaving for paradise). with a new strength, our protagonist heads for paradise once again, but gets lost. in his wandering he stumbles upon a mirage/illusion...wherein he finds a wise sage. this sage teaches him the true way to gain access to paradise and the right way to get there. off the hero goes to paradise, and reaches it that next evening. he gains acceptance through the first gates, but then encounters the council who denied him the first time. wishing to prove his worth he shows them everything he has (insert epic guitar here ) ending story resolution open for discussion.

ok so me and sammyg are working on the story right now, and we thought it'd be good to get people's opinions on this... we want to know if you all would like the story to be about OCR and references to it, or would you rather have it be original? currently we have an idea set for a story, but as far as specifics goes, this will be the deciding factor in which direction it turns, so: thoughts?

Bundeslang said in his comments: "Hemophiliac - Beautiful beginning, I really get that 100 years ago feeling. The built-up from the song and all the sections are great. The voice is a bit too powerfull, but only a little." k but wait let's look again...hmm this is unusual. "Rich Douglas - Beautiful beginning, I really get that 100 years ago feeling. The built-up from the song and all the sections are great. The voice is a bit too powerfull, but only a little." not like this matters but it bugs me that this is repeated twice, what's the deal? heck he couldn't be talking about my piece in that comment, i mean...what voice?

ok so why can't we use DX10 then?

ok so i don't know this compo well, what specificially can't you use in the first rule? can you use FL Keys? 3xOSC? BooBass?

yes thank you, changes made are 100% clear to me now.
