Thanks a lot. I'll check if I can find wavs from the old machine

Thanks so much Black_Doom and other people! I'm very surprised and glad to see that somebody is interested in the 10 years old megaman stuff and embarrassed that there is no permanent hosting for the files. I duplicated the archive from Black_Doom in drop box just in case: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3475ojzou8xt8v/Mega Man Remix Album by ilp0.rar?dl=1

Thanks! I make music kind of "top down" way, starting with the structure and bigger picture and then filling in the details with big element of jamming and improvisation. Typical process is that I start with a simple synth track that plays the whole song through (usually discarded from the final mix). Then throw in drums, bass and the most important tracks. The rest is just jamming to fill the gaps and add some intresting textures to the sound. I wouldn't want to turn music into work but I would be fun maybe to write a score into some amateur game project.

(watch in HD please )Hi! This is a simple music video that I made for my multimedia portfolio as I apply for a some kind of job at the game industry soon (programmer most likely). I thought I might as well share it here as the song is very much like my VG remixes in style and sounds. It's originally a piano piece that I composed a long time ago but this is a kind of remix of it. Guitars, chiptune stuff, the usual... It's called "Harju", that is a district of Helsinki. Video is made of some of my photographs from Helsinki (heavily edited though). -ilp0 / Ilari Nieminen

Test your pop music knowledge by recognizing as many songs as you can from the medley: then post your result. There are couple of tough ones there too so I'd think that over 25/30 points is a great score. Give it a shot

I apologize for delaying the project and making some people angry. The thing is that I love OCR and have high respect for all the people that make this musical community happen: fellow remixers and especially the site maintenance crew and project managers. BUT: for me (and many other remixers) this is still just a hobby, something fun to do when I have inspiration and spare time. I don't stress about it and I miss ocr project deadlines all the time because I lack either time or inspiration to finish my work. That's just the way it is. Sorry folks Anyway, this project is about to be finished and published and that's great let's be glad about that. I feel like each completed and released ocr album is a small miracle given that no one gets profit for doing it. Thumbs up!

Sorry folks! and thanks for noticing me. I'll try to get the site and links working properly

What a rich and warm sound here! great arrangement and playing! Nnnnice

Insane amount of groove. This is great stuff! You've got vintage/classic sounds

Drum samples are gathered from different sources but I recall bd+snare+hats at least to be from an old Machinae Supremacy related sample kit.

Something wrong with the link... Otherwise sounds promising

Thanks Kyle! I'll link to it from the google site (when I get through there next time), that should take the bandwidth pressure off from the site and keep it running in the future.

Gee thanks, that would be cool indeed.. I did send a PM with the aforementioned statement

That would be cool if you have spare bandwidth and storage space such a nice thing to offer...

Seems like the googlesite I made for the album is down, I'll try to come up with some other place shortly. The songs can be heard in http://www.last.fm/music/ilp0 for now

Congratulations! killer album! Just heard the human album and liking so much! good job, very nice quality in all the mixes. The album sounds cohesive as well, nothing deviates too much from the mood or the soundscape. Perfect chill-out music. Cool webpage as well. big win the whole thing :) EDIT: Oops, wrong thread, sorry...

I have a pending WIP (source: Tragedy) that I could finish rather painlessly if the project is brought back to life

Funny that you mentioned Godspeed you black emperor band, I'm so much loving their albums although I didn't think the influence could be heard in my remixes. If I could, I'd like to remixes with that last 20 minutes just building up on a simple relaxed theme with lots of instruments and church acoustics... Goosebumps

Thanks Abadoss-man and other people too I'm probably going to submit tracks 3 (cutman), 6 (fireman), 7 (elecman) and 10 (ending). Those are IMO the best tracks on the album. After taking a little break from project and listening with fresh ears I've come to notice that the first two tracks sound a bit weird and won't probably get submitted. Track 5 is too long, I might submit a shorter version maybe and tracks 8 and 9 are basicly one remix and I wouldn't like to separate 'em.

I Wish I could offer something useful but I can't (though I have a good bunch of VGM2 remixes on my HD)... The best of luck to your attempt! I really miss the athmosphere and all the RPG stuff back in VGM2...
