djpretzel Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I liked it, but read below - too similar to the original...? -djp Title: Final Fantasy 7 Yuffie's Sing Along OC ReMix Artist: Ziwtra Year: 2003 Genre: Game ---- If my last submission had something for everyone, then this is the exact opposite. When I first began this remix, it was nothing particularly out of the ordinary. But when I ran it through the MP3 encoder, it warbled and garbled a lot of the samples up, and from that point on I thought: "What if I did that myself to the samples?" So I thought I'd give it a shot. I clipped and cut the hell out of the samples--whether you like it or not is a matter of taste. Add to it the old record, kids playing ambience, and choo choo train stuff, and it is *definitely* not for everyone. It may not even be for *anyone*. Despite all that, I think, this is one of the more interesting examples of a mix with a very strict musical interpretation in addition to a very loose technical interpretation. The music is more or less the same with some added chords and beats and little things here and there (countermelody, harmony, etc.) But the overall effect little technicalities have on the overall atmosphere of the song is huge. I hope you think so anyway. And I won't be offended if you reject or request some changes, although I am so fond of this mix I probably won't be modifying it too much. Lastly, I have a DnB mix that is a bit more mainstream, and that FFA mix which I've put away. So don't think I've surrendered to yippy skippy avant garde madness : ) yh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Exactly the same as the original so far. Lets see where it goes... Uh.. I dont think so. This is exactly the same as the original save for 1 or two tiny modifications and some simple drums. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m68030 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Has sort of an Circus Contraption charm to it in the ickiness of it all, but the closeness to the original kills it for me. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Coma Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I am loving the applied sounds, but as the mixer himself said, this is a very strict interpretation, and unacceptably so. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 nice work with the sounds, i'd like to see more people taking these sorts of sonic risks (that's not to say i'll ever get bored of detuned saws or acid basslines.. because i probably won't). and the choo-choo train is a nice touch (: i'm keeping this, and i urge you post it on the Finished forum because more people would like it than you think. but it seems the panel is in agreement that this would require more melodic/harmonic/stylistic/whateverdoesnothavetodowiththesamples expansion from the original than what is given thus far. no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
