djpretzel Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hey, It's me, The Graceful Failure with a new Zelda 64: Ocarina Of Time remix. The tune is "The Song Of Storms", hence the name, "Dance of Storms". The song is named already and the ID3v1 and v2 tags changed. (edit: graceful failure says this is the new URL. He also says if it's accepted he wants it credited to "djcubez" - analoq) That's the link to the song, please tell me if it doesn't work so I can change the host. Now about the song. It's a dance version of the song of storms and sticks to the tune. However, what I did to it was shorten up the lead a bit. It's more dance and techno then trance, which was it's original genre. I put in a TS404 synth and a square synth for the lead. The songs title is already in "Dance_of_Storms_OC_ReMix" and the credit goes to "The Graceful Failure". I hope that's all I need to include! Thanks a lot. Joe Lloyd "The Graceful Failure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatdrop Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 It's not bad at all, but I think you picked a bad song to remix in that the original didn't have very much to it at all. That frankly explains why from the 2:00 mark up to the end (5:12), it's the same short melody of the original over and over. I think that you probably could have taken a few more liberties with the melody (transposing, adding to it, etc.) to have made it more interesting than it is here, and because of that, I'm going to say NO But other than that it sounds nice.

Malcos Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I think the cymbal is too loud compared to the other instruments, but other than that, it's quite a good mix. It has repetitive elements to it, but there are enough drop outs and variations to counter that, especially considering the genre. I'm saying YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Pros: Cons: Cymbols are too loud. tooo much repeatinginginginginging. I've heard this song before. This mix sounds like it really lessened the melody and simplified it. The crash is SO annoying now. The lead synth sounds very out of tune. The detunage is taken to an extreme. This kinda detuning works as an effect, but not as a lead. Work on arrangement and cut the cymbol down NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Dan Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 WAY too much of the same thing over and over and over again. Nothing wrong with making a long song out of a short theme, but let's do it tastefully. MUCH more variation would be required for something like this. Though I do like how you changed it from the original 3/8 to 4/4. NO D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkCecil13 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Ugh, more variation is a must here. Much too repetitive and depth-lacking. A hard kick is something that'd fit well in those parts covered with synthage and hi-hats. Not to mention the crassshhhh. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
