DragonAvenger Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Remix name: Lingering Lust Genre: Acoustic / Folk Remixer name: Brandon Strader Real name: Brandon E. Strader Email: oinkness@gmail.com Website: http://brandon.rainwound.com/ User ID: 3123 Game name: Teen Agent Source: Lovers Soundtrack: http://www.instaidgrace.com/brandon/teenagent.zip Sorry it's not on the internet so here's the soundtrack (200kb) Composer / game is on site I had made a song called With Love for the Teen Agent album which was judged as too liberal. My response to this was a recreation of the Lovers remix, which I have called Lingering Lust. I used minimal orchestra elements to add depth and also to more smoothly follow Vampire Hunter Dan's brilliant song that precedes this one. I wasn't planning for percussion but ultimately chose to put some sparse EWQL RA ethnic percussion along with live tambourine that I recorded here. The orchestra is QLSO. I really love that Oboe sound. There's no bass guitar which I tried to write as cello instead. The acoustic guitars follow the source pretty well, though obviously the chorus interprets the source in a way that is appropriate for acoustic guitar. There's a little solo section right before the end which was a bit of a liberty, but I felt it was needed as a "release" before the ending of the song. Recorded into Cubase 5 with a MXL 991 microphone and a monster cable! -------------- Lovers (.mod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Pretty classy interpretation, though it's a heavy balanced to the right, which makes headphone listening awkward. The orchestral elements were a bit mechanical, but once the guitars came in, it all blended really nicely, and the live hand percussion was a nice touch. Pretty nice work, dude, I like it.

Palpable Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I listened to this one yesterday when checking out the larger project, definitely one of the best songs on the album. After a slightly unrealistic intro, the instrumentation is excellent, and this arranges the source very effectively. I think the rhythm guitars could afford to get pushed back and it was a little distracting hearing the rhythm guitars in total stereo. I would have preferred less hard panning since different notes are being played. Those are minor criticisms on an enjoyable track. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 There is no way that I get 'Lingering Lust' from this arrangement. Sounds more like a wedding day to me. Regardless, there is pretty much nothing I can add to the votes above. Very classy writing here, and it's a nice listen. The mechanical strings and the panning are a little distracting, but not a deal breaker here. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Nothing but solid stuff here, even taking in mind the legit points on sequencing & panning brought up by the fellow Js. The fade at the very end cut off a little early instead of totally fading to 0, but that was also very minor. A great addition to The Root of All Evil, and hopefully an indication that Brandon's internalizing the level of source usage & interpretation needed to get a sub passed. Very relaxing. Put it on for your lady. Don't tell her what the title is. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
