OceansAndrew Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Contact Info Remixer Name: ChaoticBrain Real Name: Mitchell Bandes E-Mail: mitchbandes@gmail.com Submission Info Game: The Incredible Machine (1) Song: "Euro" Additional Info: The game was released for PC in 1992, and the soundtrack was composed by Tim Clarke and Christopher Stevens. Original Music: Honestly, I think the original music sucks, so I decided to add my own personal touches to it. It ended up turning from a simple recomposition to something semi-Trance-like, far superior to the old MIDI crap with little to no variation in tune. Out of curiosity, I decided to check out other Incredible Machine remixes, and I was quite surprised to find that none existed! So I decided to submit it to OCRemix. Admittedly, my setup isn't as expensive as most people's; my FLStudio setup probably comes out to around $200. Still, I think I managed to make a gem. I hope you like it.

OceansAndrew Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Nice production update, but it's reaaaly similar to the source arrangement, and it's pretty repetitive as well. There is some modulation to vary it up slightly from the source, but otherwise it's pretty much the same. Sorry, it needs more interpretation.

Palpable Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah I'm also bummed we don't have any Incredible Machine remixes, there were some catchy songs from that game. Euro is one of the more repetitive ones from the original game and sadly, I didn't think you did much to make it less repetitive. The drums are nifty, but they stay so static. In fact, the entire song is pretty much just adding layer after layer with little in the way of surprise or dynamics. It sounds pretty good, but it's way too straightforward.

Liontamer Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yeah I'm also bummed we don't have any Incredible Machine remixes, there were some catchy songs from that game. This source tune certainly wasn't one of them. Once you've heard 30 seconds, you've heard it all. That said, Mitch, you have the right idea going for an expansionist approach, going for adding a lot of different musical ideas here and there to help evolve the piece. That said, you should do more to actually vary the repetitive source melody as well, not just the soundscape. The piano sequencing at :57 was very unrealistic, BTW. Anyway, this IS a good start though, bro. See if there are more ideas you can bring to the source tune besides the things surrounding it and resubmit to see how much you can improve it.
