Kirby: Canvas Curse - "Winter in Dreamland" WIP

[halc]

this is no longer a wip. here is the completed version:

I Want You Inside Me (mp3)

get your mind out of the gutter, kirby eats his enemies, get it?

enjoy

[windkirby]

Very abrupt ending, yes, but WOW. That was seriously good stuff. The minor, electronic interpretation was great, and the pacing wasted no time getting to the sweeping melody. Love all the stuff and layers happening here. I wish I could say more, but I have no complaints. Just make it longer!

[Rozovian]

Cool. Time sig is deceptive, just a plain ol' 6/8, I like stuff like that.

This type of chippy sound is ahrdly gonna get it on OCR, but it's pretty cool as-is. Using more high-quality low range and rhythm instruments might put it in the OCR lane.

Chippy, time sig, what's not to like?

[MrSneak]

I'm a huge fan of the source and really enjoyed this while it lasted. Keep it up, I want more.

sum update

post your think

[windkirby]

My think is good - I still love it. Towards the end is does feel as if it goes on a bit too long without a specific melody in mind. Also if you're going to do a second go-round of the melody, I suggest adding in another piece of tambre, maybe not electronic? (string?) Sorry if that sounds contradictory to the work, but you have so much electronica in there, which is great, but I can't imagine how you would pull off a second time while still keeping it dynamic enough. Anyway, that's just IF. I still think it's great, and I'm glad you're still working on it :] Nice job.

[MrSneak]

I love Kirby tunes and I think you're doing justice on this mix, I'm excited to hear more.

revision! moar commentz plz?

next version i post will be the finished version

[K.B.]

Yes, this. Better with every listen... it still takes a few listens to open my heart to the chiptunness I guess. After several more listens than I had last night, I think you did balance the blantantly chippy sounds with other instruments (or less-blatantly chippy sounds, whatev). Some sections are a bit too chippy for my taste, but there's still a good balance so I'm always enjoying it.

Through 2:22 is awesomeness. The progressive buildup is money, almost gives me chills. Can't tell where you're going to take this... look forward to hearing it though.

I had to wikipedia time signatures again...

[Crazyonr1]

2:22 was awesome, and all I can hear now is maybe a tiny bit more of Green greens, then figure out some way to tie both the Rainbow resort and the Green Green themes together, maybe ending with one of the victory fanfares and just cutting off

Nice work, all in all, can't wait to hear the finished product

[halc]

here ya go

finished version, hope you all enjoy

This is a really creative take on Kirby, and in my opinion it's OCR worthly. I love the blend of 8Bit and more recent synths, and it's the kind of remix I'd like to hear in a newer game. The glitchy synths/drums are well programmed and are really interesting to listen to.

I have to agree the ending is abrupt, but you can fix that pretty easily. One other thing is regarding your panning. The 8bit drums sound mostly centre panned, and I was wondering if you could test out a spatializing plug somewhere in the mix to make them more stereo, so they're not always focused in one place. It's still a personal preference though, so if it doesn't work that's cool.

Good work!

[Xenon Odyssey]

oh yeah, you wanted me to say something about this:

AWESOME

I hope that was satisfactory.

[halc]

I hope that was satisfactory.

A+ for you buddy

[windkirby]

Broken link!! Dying of music remix song not being there when I click! It's like suffocating inside a small balloon in that it would be much more enjoyable if the link was working so I could listen to some music!

[Lemonectric]

Tindeck went over its bandwidth limit, I guess.

[halc]

oh yeah, i guess tindeck's done for (until next month, anyway)

maybe this will work better (link also updated in first post)
