Palpable Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The artist should be considered The University of Toronto 10 O'Clock Big Band, but The Runaway Five will get an associated credit since several members were involved - LT Contact Information: ReMixer name (band name): The Runaway Five Real Name (band members): Brendan McElroy, Brendan Swanson, Alex Goodman, Matt MacLean, Brent Mah, Spencer Cheyne Submission Information: Game: Super Mario 64 Song: Bob-Omb Battlefield Remix Title: Big-Band Battlefield Additional comments: Arranged by: Brendan McEroy (April 2009). Performed by: the University of Toronto 10 O'Clock Big Band: DIRECTED BY: Terry Promane, Rhythm Section - Brendan McElroy (Bass), Tyson Kerr (Piano), Mack Longpre (Drums), Alex Goodman (Guitar), Trumpets - Matt MacLean, Ryan Brower, Jesse Malone, Marie Gaudy, Trombones - Steve Ward, Robin Jessome, Aidan Sibley, Josh Bird, Saxophones - Taylor Cook (Alto), Brendan Cassidy (Alto), Rob Christian (Tenor), Dave Rubel (Tenor), Anthony Rindaldi (Baritone). This is the only recording I have of this arrangement and it may have some clipping, etc. It's a pretty decent recording for a handheld recorder so hopefully it suffices. Also, there was some quality loss as I tried to make it fit the size req for submissions. The past few submissions have been denied based on a limited amount of source track present. Hopefully this fits the req. It's a little hard to recognize but the intro is straight from the source track as well (the second half of the melody). I also added a shout chorus featuring a bunch of other Mario melodies. I hope you all like it! A four horn arrangement of this piece can be found on our myspace as well!

Here's my breakdown: 0:00-1:40 - melodies and chords 1:45-2:25 - chords 2:27-2:47 - original chords (not counting this) 2:47-3:22 - chords 4:35-4:38 - ref 4:40-4:41 - ref 4:44-4:46 - ref 4:51-5:04 - ref (counting the silence - it's part of the song!) 5:08-6:28 - melodies and chords Just counting the first and last sections and the references puts this at 199 seconds / 389 seconds (chopping off the last 5 seconds of silence) = 51.2%. Giving them credit for the chords puts it well over the line. I loved the job they did with this and it's my favorite Runaway Five piece yet. The key changes in the B-section were risky but interesting, and the laidback bar atmosphere of the recording adds mucho charm. Gotta love the guy ordering something halfway through the song. Awesome work, you all! YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I I think this is really charming. The atmosphere is great, and for a handheld recorder there is a nostalgic, warm sound to everything. Arrangementwise, there is enough dominant source, and plenty of interpretation. Some nice solos (your bari player is a monster), and everything clicks. The drum solo was a little bit self-indulgent, but I can dig it. Overall nice work by everyone, this is great. yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 This is a very clever arrangement. Some very nice work done on the rhythm of the melody and the dabs of new harmony fit nicely. Nothin' wrong with a bit of self indulgence in jazz. Also enjoyed the inclusion of the underworld theme. The recording quality including the random dudes talking just add to the charm of a big band, it feels like you're there watching it there in a small cosy club. Nice stuff all around and look forward to more subs from you guys. 1-UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Recording definitely has a certain character, but I think it's a good quality. Performance is ace, arrangement is good and just above the bar source-wise and it's very groovy in general. The recording probably could've been beefed up somehow in post-production but this is definitely good enough. Keep being awesome. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
