I'd never watched Avatar up to now, but I watched most of the movie, and fucking loved it. Soundtrack was brilliant.

This is the second time zircon's posted a pic of his studio with Jill under the desk, and yet again, my mind immediately went south. Anyway, I'll get pix/vids of my studio sometime soon.

Like, the original snes cart? ... Since you're not using it, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. PM me and I'll giv eyou my address and paypal you whatever it will cost to ship it. EDIT: getting back to the subject, I'm working on a mix of "Bloody Tears" from Castlevania 2, and I've never even heard the original.

Took the morning off, then went in and did several full rings routines, from beginning to end, with all the strength holds. Here's my routine (which I will try to film sometime in the near future): Back uprise to piked iron cross Press to maltese Lift to planche (still working on this part) Forward roll, back uprise to straddle planche Press to inverted cross (need to work on holding this) Drop forward, back uprise to L-support Pike press handstand Gaint to handstand Double layout dismount (needs work; I can get enough rotation, I just need to work on straightening it out to a full layout position)

I never played Chrono Cross or Xenogears until after hearing (and loving) remixes from both.

Yup, I'm pretty good at that EDIT: If you need proof of his suckitude, look at his arrangement of DK Island Swing used in DK64. He took one of the coolest and most badass tracks I've ever heard in a game and cut its balls off completely.

Um.... honestly? This guy sucked. Looking through the list of soundtracks he did on wikipedia, and I hated every single one of them that I've heard. I mean hated. My all-time least favorite soundtracks. Perhaps I just haven't heard his best work, but going on what I've heard, he's no big loss. At all.

Oooooooooooooh man. Soooooo much awesome. This mix is lik pure sex. I think I came twice just listening to it.

Had an excellent workout this morning, took it easy in the afternoon. Spent a bunch of time doing rings strength in a spotting belt.

That really doesn't look much like him.

OA wins this thread

Try PMing Larry

There are a couple of remixers who do music professionally (Ziron, Christian Pacaud, and others), but most of us don't. For a lot of us, it's just a hobby on the side. We have day jobs (or in some cases night jobs), and just work on music when we get the chance. Myself, I'm trying to go pro, but no luck yet.

Had a hell of a day today. In the morning, I went to work out with a buddy of mine, and we spent the morning doing almost nothing but strength (with an occasional break to go throw some triples on trampoline) We spent a lot of this time in a spotting belt on rings. I came up with a strength sequence that we took turns doing: Cross, victorian, backward roll to cross, press to maltese, lift to planche, press to inverted cross. My shoulders were dead by the time I was done. After about a half hour break, I want back into the gym and spent another two hours or so doing strength (mostly arms and shoulders) and stretching (my left-leg split is getting really close to being all the way down)

I hate FF7. But I have decent mics, and as long as it's not too big a commitment, I'd be happy to record some stuff.

Yes .

Wow, I'm "back in the day" now? To be fair, I guess it has been forever since I submitted a mix. I guess I'll have to change that....

Check in. Decent week, but not a great one. I've been slacking off a bit on my cross work, and I can't hold a flat iron cross anymore, so I need to get back to strictly doing that every day. My planche seems to be steadily getting stronger, though.

Ok, perhaps I will give it a go. Note that I remain skeptical that this game will ever reach completion, but as long as the winner doesn't have to wait until release to get paid, I guess that's moot. What's the general athmosphere of the game? Should the overall feel of the piece be bright and exhilirating? Dark and ominous? Something in between? Something else entirely?

I can't make it this year

I agree that you should learn some theory, but I want to clarify: learning theory doesn't necessarily mean in a formal, classroom-type setting. There are a ton of remixers with little or no formal training. I would guess that probably half the remixers on this site (at least) never took any formal music theory training. BUT! This is not the same as not knowing theory. You don't have to know the specific terminology, but you do have to have a feel for the application of the principals in your music. You have to understand chord structure and progression, you have to understand time signature and key signature, and you have to be able to apply this knowledge in your music. This is something that some people can simply learn by ear from trial and error.

While I will not deny that $200 would be great, I have several questions before I enter a song. First of all, will this game be released commercially? What is the nature of the release? (ie downloadable on the internet, sold physically, or what?) Second, will I retain rights to the song? Third, will we recieve the money immediately, or after the game is released? (if the latter, don't expect anybody to enter until you've provided SUBSTANTIAL evidence that the game is approaching completion)

Best of luck to Jordan. Here's hoping for a full recovery.
