JH Sounds Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Here's first part of an idea I've been kicking around: an arrangement of the haunted house merry-go-round music in Super Mario 64. It's sort of a hip hop thing. *earlier version removed* My remix (updated): "Carousel Hell" (v2) Source tune: Super Mario 64 - "Merry-Go-Round" This started playing in my head when I first played the game, but I wasn't able to get it out until now.

HoboKa Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 ARRANGEMENT / INTERPRETATION I haven't heard the orginal, so no comment here. PRODUCTION [X] Drums have no energy [X] not interesting enough IMO STRUCTURE [X] Not enough changes in sounds (eg. static texture, not dynamic enough) [X] Pace too plodding Not done yet I assume PERSONAL COMMENTS I don't want to sound like the antagonist here, but I think this composition needs more variety, a far more interesting drum beat that changes. I know this is a 4 bass drum beat and 2 off beat snare song (aka four on the floor I THINK), thus it isn't meant to be too unique, but dude...this is OCR, they don't like plodding drums that try to drive the compo along, but just give it a bland, repetitive feel. I also know that this is only 1:08 long, but still I can already get the gist of where this going. Nowhere. I suffer from this problem too quite often, so I know how frustrating it can be. Like I said you've got potential, because your production is actually not bad, and EQing is pretty good. At least your songs insofar aren't overcompressed, that's a biggie If you need an example of what I'm getting at, here you go nvm... If you want, PM me and I can give you some nice midi scores of drum loops and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I haven't heard the orginal, so no comment here. Gah, I knew I forgot something. I added a YouTube link, which should be fine for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboKa Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 sorry about the triple post lol. I finally heard the original. I like your take on it, it's very interpretive actually. So no problems there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutritious Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Then please keep all WIPs private. This is his audition piece, so I don't see anything wrong with having it public. If he's accepted and allowed into the private forums, then he can take it private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Heeeeeeeey not bad, man. I didn't know what to think until I could make out the carousel music in there. I'd say you've at least got a shot at that place on the song list. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
