Less Ashamed Of Self

Hmmm, Sorry guys this one just doesn't quite resonate well with me. Maybe it's a lack of knowledge of the source tune, maybe it's the soundfonts, maybe it's the way that the progression went... it just didn't quite hit home for me. Blad I've heard better out of you and I only expect better to come. That said, this is truely a beautiful piece outside of my preferences. There are some beautiful moments namely the rise & decline around the 3 minute mark, and there wasn't a note that felt specifically out of place or low quality. It's a well done piece, and worth the effort put into it. Any fan of the game will love this I'm sure. But from what I know you two to be capable of, it doesn't sound like it took you guys that long really. 7/10

Dude. Rock. I dig.

Wow... I had just assumed this was from that PRC... now I need to actually hear it. EDIT: Good stuff. I disagree with people who say it was too short though; I'd take too short over too repetitive anyday. I think EgM said all that he needed to in his time slot. A keeper.

K, so it's 5:55am, I spent V-day alone again, I just finished polishing off the first DVD of Boy Meets World's second season, I'm considering e-mailing Danielle Fishel (aka Tapanga), and I log on OCR to read this: So true, Mr. Lloyd, you have an amazing way with words. Dhsu, you're a close second with your opening comment. Oooh, Danielle Fishel was in a National Lampoon movie...

I also heard this first over in the WIP forums. I knew it was getting hosted the moment I head it. While I agree that it could get a little repetitive the enjoyability of the loop is high and I don't think this will ever disappoint a techno or mario fan. Good jorb.

I gots a question... In the effects window, what are those 4 special channels on the right and how do they work. Also, could somebody remind me how the keyboard controller, dashboard, and midi out instruments work?

HA! So's everyone else with ears and a penis. On the topic of female vocalists I have this to say, get a good mike yourself (if you don't already have one) and go to a nearby college campus or something advertising that you'll pay/hold auditions... there's lots of girls that want to sing *cough-american idol-cough*. I've got a request though, and I think some people might be able to meet it; can anyone play some soft sexy muted trumpet? Not the kind with the buzz, but the muzak kind.

So I'm listening for the first time right now... Wowie!

Good gravy it's gorgeous...

Ziwtra, I completely agree with DJP. How can anyone hate this? Another 10. Ziwtra... you're probably my favourite... and that's saying something.

Here you go bro, I figured you wouldn't mind being the dude in red: and the djping version:

Hmmm, maybe you should pm Ichitootah. I knew it was possible. I don't see why it wouldn't just be a midi cable and then the right settings on your computer. If you get really stuck maybe you should try and find some local music store owners who sell the kind of midi cables you'll need and ask them. I mean, that is what the midi port on the back of most PCs is for right?

MAZEDUDE D'AISKI! Man I love a good disjunct sound. I don't know if when I played this game I was forced to use PC speakers or if I just wasn't listening but this is a great little tune that you can tell is close to the original. Very enjoyable... there's nothing I love more than a nice disjunct/detuned na-na-na-na-boo-boo melody used well. My new song of the month. Rock.

GAH! It does sound like yoda did it. That or Kyoto, but that's a Japanese city! For crap's sakes! Who did it!?!

Oh man, boo... maybe it's because I'm not as much of a funkadelic zepplin or hendrix fan, but this guitar just doesn't seem to offer enough redeeming value to me on this one. I don't consider myself to be a good guitarist and I didn't hear anything there that I couldn't do on my third try. The drums sound too fake, the instruments are too sparse and artificial, and the overall message is very: 'I made a funk song'. I don't doubt it took you a day, or maybe a weekend... but I just don't think it's up to the par of some of the latest OCR stuff... it affirms to me that some very unfortunate biases are likely forming. Since the bar is already so high to begin with I think that the bar should be raised higher as the artist gets better as well. When I knew I knew the name zyko from another track I liked I investigated, and was shocked to learn you were behind the Submarine Attack song with Destiny & the Europa Pegasi track with the wingless... those were much better. 2/10 because it's still a song. Your guitar is good... but I think you need to do more collaborations... or learn more instruments.

While I can tell it was well produced, and the dynamics were well done and effective. The liberties taken here, the sheer combination of so many themes, it just left me very uninspired. I agree with thealexfish. A little more harshly; I was physically rolling my eyes at how many OCR/orchestral cliches were used here. It was like everything I don't like about an orchestral OCR mixed in to one track. And I can't help but think; How does someone who's as big as GreyLightening wake up and say: "I think I'll mix something today, you know what I'd like to hear: an orchestral rendition of a Chrono Trigger piece, I should check to see if anyone has done frog's theme..." To someone just coming here, (ie: from Fark) it will floor them. I hope this pleases many fans of CT and the song chosen. But sorry I think I've built up a bias.

Look how close to the post date I am! Magnificence! An excellent little piano piece. As I was listening to it while reading, I had to stop and think: Wow, this is really beautiful.

Here's a quick couple of questions. Though they've probably been hashed and re-hased... How do you use the keyboard controller, and what does the 'Fast LP' stand for?

I can play classical guitar (like the sheet music & nylon string type) and I can also offer my vocal skills. I'm gonna go ahead and say that includes singing, rapping, beatboxing, and various kinds of scat. I would also consider my improvisational mixing arrangement and creative ability to all be moderate - good. Is anyone actually going to use this suprisingly good resource of performers? I would LOVE to play a part in ANY kind of collaboration.

Yeah... so I need to appologize, that post was very self-centered. This is your moment you guys, soak it up. This is a beautiful fusion of two talented and different styles and it works, dare I say, perfectly. You guys have come a long way, I'm excited to see where you're going, and this song is a triumph for you both. I'm proud to call you both my friends.

Anybody know what song this was originally? EDIT: 90% sure it's Hysteria.

More great Ziwtra, probably my favourite artist too. Instant classic, instant favourite... your style is increasing, you should be getting paid for this, no questions asked.

You guys... are... such... jerks... Nice freakin' work. *mumbles to self about how 'my time will come, my time will come'*

Thought I'd post this here too in case it wasn't clear enough for the masses everywhere else you posted it blad: The Sheet Music

Yes the gap is intentional, for craps sakes... Beautiful. I loves teh mute controlzorz!
