hey larry, thanks for the encouragement. reading that made me happy.
i got nothing to send in. my last musical productivity burst is 4-5 years back, and it was all originals back then.
in case i regain my musical marbles, i sure have a few remixes in mind. tunes i wanted to do well forever. starcraft terran music is a good example. that stuff is hard to do justice.
i'll probably have to do a lot of fun and easy stuff to get to a level where i can do the kind of (OC) remixes i envision, again. back in 2008 it was OLR that made that possible. today...i gotta find my own projects to get me back in shape. maybe this winter. crossing fingers as well.

while i am at it -
this, 5 years later, was the next thing that convinced me that a really good starcraft terran remix could be one of the best things to ever grace the earth.
good ol' relliK on keys btw.
Artist: Rellik (Adam Lederer) [ReMixer] - ReMixes - OC ReMix
o hey, he has 4 OCRemixes just like me.

i know it isn't, especially today. i think this was submitted in 2003ish though, and i loved it back then. still like it. always wanted to make a good starcraft terran remix since.
i just randomly came across it on youtube and thought hey, why not make a stupid thread. i think it has a lot of mojo for being such a simplistic semi - cover, and it would've been well liked. i know that's not what ocr is about, ofc.
maybe someone else can think of something. i used to listen to many other failed submissions back then...
sometimes the passage of times changes things a lot. maybe a judge has some choice tunes that didn't make it but became absolute favorites of theirs.
one thing i always thought is that if a remix is very similar compositionally but has exceptional "mojo" for lack of a better explanation, exceptions should be possible. not that i'm saying this mix is it - just in general.
-
hey and for communication's sake...
anyone got any other decisions from the panel they resent?
we're all old and grownup about this stuff right, so let's just have a ball.
you can also name your own submissions, all is fair game.

yeah i know it's rough&basic arrangement wise, but IT WOULDA BEEN FAKKIN ICONIC.
i might have to remix this remix and submit it

what kind of flute is it youre playing?

This is a very good explanation, and I appreciate you answering in a way that isn't confusing for me. The part that confused me about this video is that he uses the G major chord. At least I assume this because it says G and not Gm. So that's partially the reason I got confused as to why he said it was borrowed from the parallel minor key while showing in text "Both borrowed from G minor".
haven't watched the vid but likely he meant Bb and F with "both". both those chords would be functions of the G minor scale. though the F could also be a function of G mixolydian mode, while Bb more significantly demands a change to some scale including the minor third interval of G. meaning the latter is definitely a more "decisive" chord.
you can easily play a lotta stuff over a simple G - F chord structure, and be very ambiguous about whether it's a major or minor G scale. I - bVII is good for bluesy stuff eg., meaning you play around with the "blue notes".
with G - Bb however, you're way more clearly going from a major G to a minor G scale, and back again.
if i were you i would play around a bit with the classic 12 bar blues scheme. even just a simple I - IV progression is enough to see how gratifying it is to eg. change from a major third to a minor third, whenever the change to IV happens. that's blue notes.
"the blues" is a good conceptual counterpart to the whole diatonic or greek scale stuff. it enables a better understanding of most of our contemporary 20th century music, without being too technical. rock, metal, jazz, you name it.

a thread about all guitar solos you deem god-like. or just impossibly good, if you dislike the mention of god.
i just got randomly forwarded to this '88 concert of Satriani, and the bluesy solo during the first song, Ice 9, which slowly builds up, has been holding a special place in my guitar solo mind temple for a long time. starts at around 4:20.
you kinda have to play the whole song to appreciate it fully, but anyway.
how do i embed a video here with the correct play start, like 4:20? i am too stupid.
edit: also noteworthy is that the creatures on Joe's shirt look as much as shyguys from SMB 2 as they do look like wood spirits from Princess Mononoke. I wonder who did that design, in '88!

This is trap music, so the bass is very important. If I were you, I would really make the bass pop out a little more.
uh, what bass?
i think this is perfect anyhow. kevin macleod is like a creative commons composer or something, right? featured in many mobile games and the like. link to the original pls?
it's great as a bassless tune. but it would be SO MUCH BETTER if prominent bass elements were to join in after 2 minutes, and you go for 5 minutes total runtime. or so. just an idea.
drums and stuff sound crispy nice bla. it's all good. i say keep what you have then add some creative bass stuff to make it a full long tune. that could work.

I'm so old I still play TF2.
have you played TF1?
i remember a nice LAN where we played TF1 with like 8 ppl. i must've been 14, and it was my birthday, i think.
so, around 2000.
counter-strike was the shit back then.

i wouldn't have figured this out easily...it's too quick to count the 8ths for me, in my head... but if i count in 4ths, it clearly goes up to 6 beats with the 6th cut short.
so yeah, sounds like eleven!

GENNY VST/FL Studio Plugin V1.16 Update! - GENNY Chiptune Forums (wonthelp.info)
wow, i seriously didn`t know about this plugin. it`s what i always wanted. a full megadrive synth, including the sample channel and the master system sound chip.
and it didn`t stop there...the dude actually made a native fruity loops version. meaning i can use the slide notes and pan per note inside FL.
this is insane man. almost like a dream.
i will be focusing on musicking with this for a good while.
if anyone is interested in a passaround collab thing just using GENNY inside FL, i`m totally down. just have fun, and learn some FM on the way.

thanks gario. well, to me it's kinda pop electro with some EDM bits and Acid freakouts interspersed. idk if that's non-traditional, but it was different enough for me to stay interested and keep working on it.
i'm glad you think it works, anyhow.
the greatest revelation for me in connection to this tune was how groovy 707 drums sound, with minimal mixing. i think i'll be using those more down the road.
the ending is the weakest link to me. i love the 4:07 freakout bit, and the guitar stuff is ok, but a) i would've liked to record some actual guitar, but got frustrated with my super rusty playing, and b) i think the tune deserves a more drawn out climax, and the fadeout is just not that interesting.
what i needed to know is that i can still write stuff that keeps my interest, without exactly reinventing the wheel. i really needed that, man. and now i gotta start on the next tune soon, to know i can repeat it.
i'm wishing for like an album's worth of tunes this year, to listen to while going for walks or travelling. really miss that feeling.

i liked queen's gambit.....especially all the chesterfield cigarettes, which i smoke plenty of these days.
one of my very numbered friends recommended the tetris movie to me, but i don't trust it. seems cheezy. and i have no flix or nothing anymore.
even though queen's gambit was purely fictional, it seems like the tetris movie was indirectly inspired by it, somehow. or not?

i personally think the tetris attack music is very serviceable if a tad forgettable...
the sped up tracks at critical points always did the trick for sure. but the themes by themselves? just very serviceable, but not much more if you ask me.
idk, could still result in a fun album if you thematize the whole tetris attack energy correctly.
because lemme say....
tetris attack is like maybe the best fucking 1on1 game ever. it literally has time bending properties once you really get into it. normal tetris is fucking BS in comparison.
(i never got good at normal vs. tetris, but i really understood the magick of tetris attack/panel de pon. it's like a mathematically psychedelic experience, because no joke, when you're in full flow mode you experience a real bending of time. this is a legit psychedelic game.)
(also to my shame, i tried it again on my handheld emu a few months back, and i couldn't even beat it on hard vs. CPU. while i was regularily practicing against roomies 15 years ago, the super hard hidden CPU mode wasn't a problem. i wanna play this again, but i got no ready opponents.)
(tetris attack should be offered in every nursing home. if you can beat the CPU on hard at age 70, you won't get alzheimer's. just my opinion.)

@Nase North Italy == South Tyrol, I suppose? That's almost around my corner, needless to say that this is my fav place for vacations! If you heard about a small village named Sulden/Solda in the vicinity of Passo di Stelvio / Passo di Resia, then you know where to find me during most summers. ^^
no it's more southwest. podunk nowhere really.
i remember the area of locarno + lago maggiore from my childhood, i.e. italian border switzerland. wonderful vacations.
and i lived in freiburg for a few years....but i'm really more of a northern germany native. hamburg roundabouts.

soviet japanese? that's sexy, man. i wondered b4 where you might be from. mind disclosing the location on a map?
but if it wasn't clear, i was talking to woody and his clearly german screenshots of his surround system.
i live in northern italy these days. right around here.

Mainly Youtube for me. Soundcloud is nice if you know how to use the tags in your favor.
much as i hate a.i., i'd use it for that. i'd like more listeners on soundcloud, but i'd feel like a whore figuring out the right tags for each track.

shifting sus4 chords around seems a good start for one. airy feeling for sure. 1 5 7 12. transpose however you like, always sounds kinda neat.
