Cipher Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Oh. Em. Gee. You added in the giants from Majora's Mask. That made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up on end, it was so amazing. This piece is the definition of perfection, it really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I thought 2:11 was just harmonization because of its tempo. No wonder I couldn't recognize it. Plus the title screen sorta blended it together. At 5:29 even if you gave me the answer, I still couldn't recognize Aryll's theme, zelda's lullaby, and epilogue I only heard ocean theme and title screen (zelda II). Maybe it should be decluttered as you mentioned. Guess my guessing game turned out to be a feedback afterall lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progressive Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 OK I just ninja-updated the ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Very cohesive, with all the parts complimenting each other. I don't know how you crammed all of this Zelda goodness into six minutes, but it works beautifully. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife89 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The jump from version 1.6 to version 2.0 presents one short bit that irks me -- the beginning. I prefer version 1.6's opening, which has only one melody playing; by contrast, version 2.0's opening feels like a bit of a musical overload to me. In this sense, version 1.6 eases the listener in, while 2.0 drops the listener into the piece like a hot potato. After that nit, however, it's beautiful and amazing. I keep and listen to all three released versions (1.0, 1.6, 2.0). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xauriel Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Y'know, I'll admit that's it's probably because I've been falling asleep to version 1.6 ever since I had the marvelous fortune to e-stumble across it, but... I prefer to 1.6 to most of the changes made. Particularly the whole stretch from 3:00 to about 3:33. After knowing and loving 1.6 for so long, that bit was like finding a raisin in a perfectly good cookie. Here's the thing, though... and I know I'm being a evil, fickle, bastard jerk-face... but I love the opening to version 2.0. I like the opening to version 1.6 more for this song, but I after having just listened to version 2.0, I find myself wanting to hear the whole closing 'setting sail' tune again... Just not at the beginning. Sorry! I'd offer viable suggestions if I could, but my area of expertise lies in people-noise. First Edit: Jesus H. tap-dancin' Christ on a pogo-stick! Put them together! Like the first 15 seconds from 1.6, then the 2.0 opening!! ...Shutting up. Second Edit: So I kinda mulled it over a bit; I like the second half of the Outset Island theme addition, and I really love the Journey beginning. Maybe work Journey into the end...? Something I forgot to mention earlier as well, I DO love the addition of Zelda's Lullaby to the end, that felt like a completely natural ending to the song. Speaking of the ending, one tiny little thing that's irritated me from the beginning-- the piano chord at the end doesn't resolve. And it's just.... gah. >,< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progressive Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey Xauriel, thanks for the comments. Sorry so late in replying, I didn't even know you had posted until tonight when I updated the song. I actually think I addressed most of your concerns with this version, so that's lucky. Anyway, have a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Nice touches on the update, progressive. I like the complex flavor of this version, with tidbits of dissonance an already solid mix. How long 'til you sub it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheon Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Brilliant, yet my ears so desperately yearn for that 'Departure' sequence which was present at the intro for v2.0. It set up the atmosphere perfectly for what was to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife89 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 @Orpheon: For this reason, I've been keeping EVERY version that has been released (4 so far: 1.0, 1.6, 2.0, and 3.0). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hey, I really like the wips you are putting out. But I want to know if you are ever going to submit this? This is to awesome to not share with everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adinseed Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I agree. This is awesome. I do agree with Orpeon with that departure bit in the beginning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey, I've had v.2.0 for quite some time, I would like to hear 3.0 but I'm unable to download it from the sources given. Would you be able to re-upload it somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swann Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Lynx - I've hosted v3.0 here for the time being: http://sites.google.com/site/taylorswannmusic/progressive-CrestingtheWaveWIPv3.0.mp3 If this needs to be taken down, let me know.

Lynx Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks Swann. Great improvement progressive, just being picky but I prefer the 3rd quarter to end of 2.0 but overall very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
