Splatterhouse 3 'Menu (Main Theme)'

[beckett007]

I submitted this one last week, but figured I'd go ahead and release it here as I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Just like my past remixes, I've taken a piece of music and reorchestrated it so that it feels more like a movie theme and is more epic in sound. I replaced the bell / synth lead descending line with a mysterious cello crescendo / decrescendo line and added in more orchestration to beef up the mix as a whole. Also added is a bass swell synth to give it more of that B-Movie feel. The granular synthesis that open and close the cue represent the mask itself, are completely original and not found in any sample library. Enjoy!

Here's the original from the genesis chiptune:

The haunting voices at 2:15 are great.

The whole track feels very BGM-ish, though, seeing as how there isn't any clear cut melody/climax here. While the strings sound fantastic, they (or rather the ebb and flow of them) can become a little grinding after some time. Nothing major, though.

I agree about this sounding like bgm, tho there's nothing wrong about that. I'm not really liking the dry and blatty brass, so if you don't get a yes, consider fixing that. It really stands out in a few places. Other than that, there's little I dislike about it. It's got great feel. I sometimes weren't sure what was from source and what wasn't, but the J's are gonna look into that way more in-depth.

Looking forward to seeing this on the front page, but there's a few things about this that make me wonder how soon that'll be. Its bgm sound, the brass, possibly the source use. Still, it's a great track. I'll add that I've also enjoyed your Super Metroid remix.
