FunkyEntropy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Link to this WIP: http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=823 Be aware that this includes less than stellar samples and short bus tuba part that can't keep time to save it's life. Samples are Kontakt Silver for Sibelius 3, and I haven't figured out how to improve that without spending money I don't have. About this WIP: I'm trying to arrange/transcribe the ending theme from the original Metroid for my brass quintet, to be performed and recorded along with a couple other Metroid tunes in celebration of the release of Other M. The other pieces I'm working for that are the Brinstar, Original Theme, and Maridia tracks. This track is giving me a lot of trouble as the piece has lots of moving 16th lines that I was forced to break up in order to render them playable, trumpet embouchure fatigue is a real threat in the original registers, etc. Actual arrangement has never been my strong suit. Mostly what I tend to do put things in appropriate octaves, fill out chords, create a Wall Of Sound or two, and call it a day. Many times I find that this is all I really need. Case in point, my arrangement of the Tree of Mana (http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=824) theme from Legend of Mana. My group will be performing this on Sunday, so hopefully the recording will be good enough to be submitted to OCR. Anyway, suggestions as to improving the arrangement, counterpoint, etc of the Metroid Ending theme? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
