prophetik music   Judges ⚖️

oh, gotcha. i suppose fishtyjdgfgt can do it once and a while, the moar metulz the better.

ah, THAT makes a lot more sense.

well, that question doesn't make a lot of sense. every track here is a re-arrangement of a videogame track - so, how can it be brand new material? if you're writing the soundtrack to a videogame, you've still gotta remix it in order to submit. otherwise, it's not a remix, it's an original song.

hey, i was curious about something, too. how'd fishy get that nice pendulum-style remix on the judging queue when it's from august? is it because he put it in himself? that's kind of bogus, isn't it?

"i pepper my music with sugar": an analysis of selected saxophone works by jacob ter veldhuis so, i'm doing this recital on the 19th. i'll be playing two pieces - Billie and Pitch Black by Jacob ter Veldhuis - after discussing them for around a half hour. should be a good time. for those who don't know who jacob ter veldhuis is, he's an ultra-tonal (read: no dying animal sounds...nice to listen to!) minimalistic composer who writes an abnormal amount of music for instruments with a tape accompaniment. billie and pitch black are both based on famous jazz musicians - billie's based on the jazz singer billie holiday, and pitch black is based on chet baker, the druggie trumpet player who was a leader in the cool jazz movement. both pieces are comprised of complex accompaniments developed from interviews of each artist taken during their lifetimes. jtv's excellent at making music of just generic sound, and does some pretty awesome stuff during the course of the pieces. you can preview both pieces here - it's the first two pieces. check out postnuclear winterscenario no. 10 (written during the gulf war) and grab it! (inspired by deaths row inmates screaming at schoolchildren to not do what landed the inmates on deaths row in the first place) as well. it's on sept. 19th at 1pm, in iger lecture hall on ithaca college's campus. anyone and everyone is invited if you're in the area. not that i expect anyone to be able to come, but i'll have some space for people to stay over if they make the drive. not a lot, but enough. and i've got two n64s, a 360, and a kickass PC for games if anyone's bored. i'm planning on posting the recordings of the lecture and each piece once i get a recording done, so those who are interested can listen online.

it's not the same N anymore, though, what was the 'standard' a year ago when wn devices came out has changed enough that those routers won't get full functionality. which sucks.

OA is his username.

i don't use n, and it doesn't really make a huge difference. stick with g.

is there a reason you can't just either direct-download it or use google to make utorrent (bittorrent sucks) work?

the issue is that OCR won't take anything that's been released for profit elsewhere, so that it won't infringe on copyright laws. if the stuff's been released totally free, no strings attached, and you're allowed to publish it, then it'd be allowed.

did i hear 'pay something'? i'm in. i sent you an email.

i love freelancer, and have played it several times from start to finish. i really wish a more robust version existed - one with more missions and a solid economy - that didn't either have a massive learning curve (x3 games) or an absolutely horrid storyline with vocal actors on par with star ocean 4's lobotomizing of my eardrums (rogue universe). even the mods don't really have the depth to them that i yearn for.

remixes are generally built around the melody of a track by altering the instrumentation and creating new sounds around it. starcraft doesn't exactly have much in the way of memorable melodies. i still remember the music after playing it for so many hours way back when, but i remember the feel and not the melodic content. of course, there's also the fact that most of the people into starcraft's music are busy playing starcraft and not working on remixes of starcraft's themes. i'd love to see some articles. from a classical musician's perspective, i really wasn't that into the aria. it's kind of boring...even more so than most arias are. if those people are like OMG 16-BIT BLISS and that's why they liked it...well, whatever floats your boat. i wasn't into ff6 that much myself compared to other games in the series. besides, if you don't like the glut of well-known games with excellent and memorable soundtracks appearing in the credits of ocr, why are you asking for a version of celes's aria? yes, you're the only one who thinks that there's not enough variety. on the planet. that's why there's a project for little-known songs from games going on right now, and why the last ten posted remixes include lost odyssey, reset generation, and pilotwings. no one likes games that don't start with "chrono" or end with a number. also, if you actually listen to the recent mixes of ff6, chrono trigger, and ff7 (to name a few 'over-remixed' albums on this site) and think that they're bad or under par or something, make some of your own. start a new trend.

shoot me an email, maybe i can help.

have at it, man! send me a wip when you've got something.

i just listened to the first disc a few times. i really, really like 'the sky holds no angels for us'. great title, guys! the guitar at the beginning - all delayed and that - sounds really fantastic.

boy, i wish i had that setup.

i LOVE omnisphere. the choirs are really flexible.

totally got my boxed disc today. the case had a crack in it, but it's on the back and not very noticeable. it feels so cool to see my name in the booklet! talk about an excellent way to listen in the car. edit: rozovian, i think your review of my track is totally appropriate. i have no idea what the hell it was either =)

once things get a little closer to being done - in a few months - i'll take the leftovers.

one of the bonuses about this is that they'll fix the incompatibilities with the software version of the Emotion engine - making it run properly on CECHC and CECHE models (like mine). i hope they do this with other major games, like FFX and XII (they have issues with dropped frames and invisible cutscenes throughout the games).

i doubt they'd go to 480p. this requirement drop allows devs to work in, say, 560p or so...but they'll never go that far, i don't think. the whole thing with the 360 is that it's a high-def console, and that high-def content is critical for the system. it's also supposed to help xbla more, since they can spend less time working on super-def visuals and more on gameplay, so that fewer games suck.

...meaning you pirated FL, since if you buy it from anywhere you get information on how to get an account. nice work.

i honestly thought this was my thread, and was horribly confused why walan posted in it.

assuming you own fl, you should post a question like this over at their forums. you'll get an answer from a mod or admin within a few hours.
