Swann Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 So I made a pseudo-classical piano arrangement of the Rival/Champion Battle themes from Pokemon Red/Blue and Gold/Silver during winter break. It was finished, but then my laptop went and bluescreened on me, and I lost all my then-recent files for that week. Now I'm stuck in a musical rut and can't finish the darn thing, so here, have at it. I'll post the sheet music after I get out of Physics. Any and all criticism is more than welcome. Enjoy!

Dunther Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Awww it's bad to see a so promising Pokémon remix wasted. Anyway, are you playing the piano or is it electonic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swann Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Haha no I'll finish it eventually, but it'll just take time. I want it to segue to the ending as smoothly (and hopefully, as epically) as possible, and it's just that I want to do as good a job as I can. I don't want to, in my rush to finish, sacrifice quality. It's sequenced for the time being. I'll perform it if/when I have/get time after I finish my other WIP. EDIT: finished touching up the sheet music, go check it out if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swann Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Finished! While this wasn't the original ending I think it's almost on par with it. This mix was born when, while lounging around during winter break, in a spurt of boredom, I fired up my old Pokemon Red save. I was battling Lance of the elite four, and it took me no time at all until I was fighting my rival again. While I'd heard the music many times, as cliché as this may sound, it just "hit me." A piano mix. Do it. I started immediately. Quickly running out of material, and not really wanting to overstay the source's welcome because it's so short, (only a minute long, and I was vying for a conservative approach) I decided to tie in the championship battle theme (aka Red's theme) from Gold/Silver. The transition between the two took more time than the rest of the arrangement--I had completely run out of ideas before I thought of using the "low health... you're screwed" sound byte. With that out of the way and having little else to do I blitzed through the rest of the arrangement. Boring blah blah blah redid the ending blah blah and here we are. tl;dr- there really aren't enough pokemon mixes around, so here's my contribution. Please, any comments and/or criticisms are more than welcome!

Pedal (una chorda) the last right hand notes and hold until they have faded, while playing the "low health" bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
