Palpable Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 pot_hocket (tekcoh_top) michael lee 15440 game: star ocean: the second story theme of rena hi all, it's been a while since I've made a remix that I was satisfied with enough to actually submit. there's not much new here in terms of style, but I'd say I've done a better job sticking to the original source material and post-editing it. It should also be louder in general, compared to my previous submissions. I hope you enjoy, and thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Source link This is one of those instances where a breakdown doesn't make sense to me, so I won't bother with one. Mike uses the chords nearly throughout, along with the melodies and rhythms every now and then. Because of that, it felt like one fully connected piece and I never lost the source except in a couple places where Mike added original sections. I won't fault anybody for going NO on this for being too liberal - it probably uses <50% source melody - but I think it's perfectly fine as an arrangement. I don't think this was your best performance or arrangement, Mike, but it was nice and produced well. I'm happy to say YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I agree that it definitely flows well with the original and new stuff. The Star Ocean second story soundtrack was one of the first game albums I ever purchased, so it has some good nostalgic memories for me, and though the main melody isn't always from and center, there is a lot of care put into making sure that some aspects are present throughout. I think a little extra obvious melody would make it easier on the juding process, but I personally think it's a pretty obvious arrangement. Production and performance are great, and the arrangement passes as well. yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yep, not much to say here. Obvious connection to it's source, good performance and no production gripes. Not the kind of song I'm going to rock out to on repeat for 30 minutes or anything, but a very somber, thoughtful, well-performed piece absolutely.

CHz Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 it probably uses <50% source melody I think it just scrapes over 50% (0:40-1:26, 1:52-2:04, 2:27-2:44, 2:59-3:24, and 3:39-4:10 all work for me), but even if it didn't, this would still be connected enough.
