Game & Songs: Muppets RaceMania & Funfair and Museum
Composer: Andy BLYTHE and Marten JOUSTRA
https://www.blythe-joustra.com
Hi OCR,
Here is an electro arrangement of two themes of Muppets RaceMania. This game contributed a lot to my interest in video game music. Played by a real jazz band, this OST is funny and well represents Muppets' universe!
Original pieces were yet well produced (with a real band player). An arrangement in orchestral style or piano would not have been adapted IMO. So I've tried another way, occasion to make sthg different from my usual works on OCR.
More than electro sonorities, I've used some orchestral elements (brass and timpani). But it's in background, I didn't want to split me in too much styles.
A soft intro announces the main melody and the rhythm in progression. After a transition at pt2, the main melody of funfair is played from part 3 to part 5, with a more marked rhythm.
At part 6, I introduced museum theme. The original tempo was quicker than Funfair. So I've rethought the rhythm of the melody.
At part 8 and 9, return to the funfair theme (with introducing of the chromatic scale that makes the identity of the original track IMO).
Part 10 is the natural following of the funfair theme with ML3 (cf. breackdown). But I realized it well married with ML7 of Museum theme, with similar harmonies. So, I've used these two melodic lines.
After, there is a repetition of funfair theme more developed. The mix concludes by the outro, similar to the intro.
Enjoy
Guillaume

Name: Michael HudakName of Game: Command & Conquer: Tiberian SunName of Song Arranged: "Lone Trooper", by Jarrid Mendelson (https://www.discogs.com/Frank-Klepacki-Jarrid-Mendelson-Command-Conquer-Tiberian-Sun-Soundtrack/release/585794)Name of my ReMix: "Hypervigilance"Link to OG:
Aside from brief stints with Roller Coaster Tycoon and the first Sims, the Command & Conquer series were the only PC games I played growing up in the 90s and early aughts. My family didn't have a gaming PC, just a basic Gateway something-or-other we got in 1998. Peripheral controllers were over my head, but my next door neighbor showed me the first C&C: Red Alert one day after school, and I loved how you could micromanage everything with just a mouse and couple shortcut keys (kinda like a DAW, now that I think of it...). I was then hooked on the whole series for years. I loved the music; not only did Frank Klepacki compose full tracks for each game with unique titles and intro-chrous-verse structures that you might hear on rock radio, but you could select what track you wanted to hear from the pause screen, which was a first for me.I loved Frank's stuff from these games, but there were a handful of tracks in Tiberian Sun that really stood out amongst the others. They were more synth-heavy and quite melodic, more 80s soundtrack-y and less 90s industrial metal. After some digging, I found out that these songs weren't Frank's at all, but were composed by someone named Jarrid Mendelson. Apparently he never did much game music, but I really love what little wound up released, especially Lone Trooper, which could pass for a somethingwave track today. If he's out there somewhere, I gotta say thanks for the cool tunes, because they made teenage me really happy. Big ups to Frank too, of course. No sleight on him.Anyhow, this ReMix was an experiment in combining uncomfortably close noises with equally uncomfortable and threatening distant sounds. There's not much in the middle ground; If there's reverb on anything, there's a lot of it. I wanted to convey the feeling of a soldier alone in a vast and extremely inhospitable environment, where almost everything is trying to kill him. Or get him killed, as is the case with his radio orders near the start. I was actually thinking of the guy on the front of the TIberian Sun box, with his helmet acting as a comms radio before it gives out, and then he's truly alone. I feel like the original tells a similar story, so maybe my ReMix is a kind of reboot as well. There's a lot of compression on the impact sounds here. Adding compression to explosions or gunshots is a common practice for sound designers in war films and FPS games to make everything that much more intense, so I wanted to try that here. In many cases, I created sounds from layering multiple samples, but adding different compression settings to each layer, rather than grouping them to a buss and using the same settings on all of them. Tons of high frequency sounds, but hopefully filtered back enough to prevent ear fatigue for the layperson. I reigned the panning in a little from some of my previous work to keep the beat moving, but there's almost no sidechain compression as I didn't want this to come off as danceable. Less fun, more sheer mortal terror, please. (I also think SC compression is starting to sound a little dated). There is some manually drawn volume automation ducking here and there to keep a pulse, but with slightly randomized slopes of db reduction, so no two instances are exactly the same.Breakdown:The original song drones in C for a whole minute before it gets going. For my arrangement, I really wanted to keep the original keys, so the subs are in C1 at first, which is honestly too low for most music, but I think it works for how heavy I wanted this remix to be.0:00 - 0:33 in source = 4:22 - 5:17 in remix.0:44 - 0:51 in source = 1:39 - 1:47 in remix.1:00 - 2:01 in source = 0:38 - 1:38 in remix.2:19 - end in source = 2:03 - 4:21 in remix.I love how this turned out. Time to end this long write-up. Thanks a ton to all the judges, as always. Very much appreciate all the feedback, positive and negative. -

My Commentary About This Remix
I was inspired to create this remix, soon after getting a good Newgrounds.com review on my first Darius Twin Remix; of the main boss theme. I titled the remix “Killer Hijia.” It’s a cool listen in my opinion. It’s available to listen to on my SoundCloud and Newgrounds pages. The track has an alarm siren, with reverbing my own voice as a combat commander’s voice while putting in a male robot voiceover part for the pilot’s lines for the very beginning. However, I’m going to eventually maybe redo the remix, since I went overboard in places in the composition. “Killer Hijia” was just not good enough to submit to OC Remix!
This one, “Narukinians at War”, is better put together, well paced, and mixed better. In fact, I think it sounds better than the original. I’d consider this both a remix and remake. I surprisingly got this done within about a week, instead of a month as it usually goes! Maybe because it's just easier to compose a track on Rytmik Ultimate than on Acid Pro. I'm not sure, but I know I was very picky about the lead melody, the brass and male vocal harmonies, and the drums. (I couldn't imagine straying from those military sounding beats.) The gritty, distorted and growly basslines weren't too tricky to figure out.
Keeping a reference video of the original music track open also helped some in laying out the basic structure of the composition. I remember the brass part and the main lead by memory for the most part. When I was a kid, I played those two together on a Casio keyboard. Although it never hurt to double check!
Around the middle of this track, the second time the more original framework from the original Narukini theme starts, I mouthed out a "wow" when I came up with the arp melody to go with that bass! I think that sounds amazing! I've surprised myself when constructing and inserting my own melodies to go with the original ones. I didn't want to stray too far from the original energy and heart of the song. I just could not do it with this track. It wouldn't have felt right.
Professional style mixing is one of the things I enjoy the most about Rytmik; the easy to use volume and panning adjustments.
Towards the end, it was very cool and fun to just mix things up apart from the first and second rounds of the original game music’s structure. I love this track to bits, and I find this one to be great enough to upload onto the Overclocked Remix website. I'm excited about it. -

Name of game ReMixed: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Name of individual song ReMixed: Beloved One
ReMix title: Reunion"Beloved One" is minimal and brief. There's a choir lead, an acoustic arpeggio, and sections are punctuated by a moment of silence. In the context of the game, I'd say it's among the most memorable pieces of music. After slowly making my way through the series (for better or worse, I will now always associate Fire Emblem with 2020), this short song stuck with me.
This remix uses the original's arpeggio as a foundation, and uses those moments of silence to add some atmosphere for transitions. The arpeggio is pretty much there throughout the track, though in some sections it has been changed into chords and in other parts it's in a different key.
I went a little buckwild with everything else, adding some improvised solos and variations on the lead as well as some drums, bass, and a copious amount of atmospheric sounds and samples.
For the ending, I transposed some of the melody from "End of Despair" (also from Genealogy), but the reference is probably too brief for this to be considered a remix of both songs.
Overall, I just tried to make this sound big, triumphant, and bittersweet. Hope you all enjoy it, and that everyone has a great new year.

I chose to remix this track because I think it's an awesome composition and the SaGa Frontier soundtrack doesn't often get remixed as far as I can tell. The original composition is really groovy, and I wanted to expand the arrangement and make it even groovier.

Composer: Lena Raine
I hope it isn't too medley-y for the panel. I started this arrangement when the BadAss folks were recruiting and I was originally going to stick with "First Steps" only. But There are so many good songs on the OST that I couldn't help but add a few more. In fact, I really wanted to squeeze in "Starjump" but I couldn't make it make sense in the song. Anyway, I ended up with this six minute monster and it didn't need to be longer. In the end I hope that this arrangement takes the listener on a similar journey that Madeline experiences in-game.Here's my blurb from the album:Celeste was my favorite game of 2018 and I knew I had to make an arrangement of at least one of the songs in the amazing soundtrack. So when I saw a new BadAss album in the works, I took the opportunity! This was a tough one for me. I wanted to make a rock arrangement while keeping to the source enough to make it obvious that Madeline is the BadAss in question while at the same time changing things up so it’s not just a cover. So I smashed together "First Steps," "Resurrections," "Scattered and Lost," and "Confronting Myself" into a guitar/organ slightly proggy rock thing. I hope you enjoy the result!--Matt Magurany -

Name: Michael HudakGame: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year DoorName of song arranged: The Great Boggly TreeName of my remix: Qfwfq's Origin of Birds (yes, that is the actual title)Link to original:
Hey hey! Michael, here and there. I did tons of experimentation with sound design during the writing/collaging process for this and love the results. The goal was to create 10 to 15 different sounds that I really dug, polish them as much as possible, and then use as many as I could get away with in a ReMix that's still musical, and not incidental. "The Great Boggly Tree" is a short, bizarre piece of music that I figured would work perfectly as a foundation for this; it's so weird, that it already met me halfway. All I had to do was create more weirdness, and even though what I came up with was pretty nuts, as a reimagining of the source, it's really not too irreverent of a leap.I ended up getting quite a good deal of sonic and structural inspiration from a short fantasy story by Italo Calvino called "The Origin of the Birds" (which is the first chapter of his book Time and the Hunter), in which the narrator named Qfwfq first encounters creatures that will come to be known as birds, near the beginning of the world's existence. He is stricken by their songs, and chases them across his world, and into their secret homeland, as his continent and theirs crash together, and he's flung from one to the other. Transcendence follows. Highly recommended. Calvino's work is so colorful and so imaginative and so funny and so rich. I tried to match that with this ReMix. A sawed-off rainbow.Breakdown! The structure is AB1CDB2, roughly.- Intro screeches are the same, pretty much. Maybe that's 2-5 seconds of sameness.- 0:12 - 0:27 in the source: Used as refrain. 0:14 - 0:27 & 1:38 - 2:14 in remix.- 0:28 - 0:45 in source = 0:59 - 1:38 in remix- 0:49 - 1:06 in source = 0:27 - 0:52 in remixAs always, thanks. -
Hello! Here's a full-band rock/metal cover I released this week of the ultra-catchy "Password" song from Mega Man 2. The entire MM2 soundtrack is great, but for some reason this little jingle always stood out to me the most. The source material is just a short loop under 10 seconds long, so I've added some structure to the arrangement and added my own guitar solo as well.

"Krazoa Palace" immediately stood out to me since I'm a huge fan of minimalistic, atmospheric tracks.The arrangement idea started from me playing around with a harp VST and way too much delay/reverb. This resulted in an interesting texture so I kept adding layers of different sounds to it ranging from synth pads to electric piano to chinese bawu, just to mention a few. Add in some distorted guitars, bass, drums and the result is this rather strange mix of styles. As usual, everything was done with virtual instruments (what a great time to be a bedroom producer!)."

Your own comments: Flashback is one of my favourite games from the 16-bit era, and I wanted to pay tribute to it in some way. I chose to work on the Main Title theme. The originalis pretty minimalistic but the Sega CD version has a more elaborated version of the song, which helped me to develop it further. My approach was to give it an atmospheric vibe with a fewmodern touches and some Synthwave/Spacesynth elements. I hope you enjoy it.

Link to the original soundtrack:
Not much to say about the source usage on this one; everything is there, for the most part in the same order as the original track. There is one notable exception however, which is that the last statements of both main themes are played on top of eachother, one in the cello and the other in the keys. There is plenty of original writing in here, but for the most part it takes a back seat the source material. If you're listening for it, you'll hear some new melodies played by the piano & keys during the second theme, and when the main theme is restated in the upper register of the piano later on the cello is playing original material in the lower registers.The arrangement itself is a sort of chill/lofi setting, starting out small with a guitar and gradually building up to a climax with the string section before fading out again. It sort of walks this middle ground between being warm and crackly, but still clear. It doesn't sound authentically vinyl, but I think it adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. -
Ben mentioned "Bloody Tears" as a single source, but in reality, this track is a medley of multiple themes from Castlevania II. They're presented in this order - "Bloody Tears", "Message of Darkness", "The Silence of the Daylight", "Within These Castle Walls", "Dwelling of Doom", "Monster Dance", "Game Over", and "A Requiem".
