Liontamer Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Remixer Name: Willrock Name Of Submission: Above The Sky Games: Sonic 2 and 3 Source: (Sonic 2 - Ending theme) (Sonic 3 - Angel Island Zone Act 1)Remix Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?wyzu1wymnmu Comments: For what seems like years, this was a 30 second wip as I didn't know where to go with it at that point. However, I kept it on my computer, like all my unfinished wips just incase inspiration struck. In this case it did, and I ended up with a solo piano interpretation of one of my favorite themes from sonic 2. Its not perfect as it is sequenced (I don't have the equipment or the skills to do this live ) but I hope you guys enjoy it all the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ocremix.org/chip/2473 - Ending Theme http://ocremix.org/chip/2387 - Angel Island Zone: Act 1 Yeah, it's not perfect. I've heard much stiffer sequencing, so don't take this the wrong way, but this didn't sound realistic on any level. The timing's just way WAY too robotic, and it saps a lot of the energy out of the arrangement. Didn't catch the Sonic 3 in here, not that it mattered re: the validity of the overall source usage. I love you stepping out of your comfort zone, Will, so it's refreshing. See if you can smooth out and improve the execution on this. Depending on how far you improve, it could really open up possibilities for you as an artist. NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The trick with sequenced piano tracks is not only the velocity, but also the pacing. Solo pianists don't play to a metronome on recordings. This track suffers from mechanical velocity and tempo. It's simply not believable. Furthermore, I don't know if it's a function of the velocities, or whether there's some inappropriate processing, but the track seems way too compressed for a solo piano piece.

DarkeSword Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Great arrangement, but it needs a performance. Consider hooking up with one of OCR's pianists (heehee) to give this the expressiveness it deserves. NO, resub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
