DragonAvenger Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Wassup dudes & dudettes, Been sitting on this track for a while now, waiting for the Link's Awakening project to get close to release. Got the okay to submit, so, here's the info. OCR Album: Threshold of a Dream Song Title: Evigilo Insperatus Contact Mixer: The Joker Name: David L. Puga Email: jtown_music(@)yahoo(dot)com Website: http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-L-Puga/120504783735 User#:8669 Submission Game: Zelda: Link's Awakening Song: Dream Shrine Comments: Where do I start. Hm, I began this mix along time ago. Years ago when the LA project was first concieved, whenever that was. The name is latin (we were going to name all the tracks in latin at this point). The name, Evigilo Insperatus, loosely means "to wake up unexpectedly." Like, waking up when you didn't even know you were sleeping. Thought that was fitting considering the game... I hope it means what I think it means. the guidelines for the project was to make something ambient. So, with this track I wanted to go with a hybrid electronic/orchestral sound. having both of them sound kinda spacey & dream like, while still having a hint of epicness & heroism in it. Hopefully, I achieved it. Not sure if it's up to current OCR standards, as I finished it a long time ago, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

OceansAndrew Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Very cool soundscape you've added here in place of the twinkly game boy synths. Some of the progressions seemed a little mechanical and boxy, and though the arrangement is pretty cool, the execution just falls short, I think. Some of the synth choices weren't great, like the countermelody part, and the chord changes weren't smooth with the strings. The beats were nice, and the atmosphere was solid, but it was mostly the sequencing that was the issue, not production or arrangement. If you can massage the sequencing, have the changes flow better, and reduce some of the mechanical feel, I can totally see this passing. No, please resubmit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 It took me a while to really work out the source usage in this, but now that I'm hearing it a little clearer, I'm a bit more confident on the arrangement overall. Because this is such an ambient piece, it stands that there has to be a liberal amount of arrangement, and I think people who are more familiar with the source would be more apt to pick up on things that I didn't right away. Overall, I think Andrew is correct that while the arrangement works, the sequencing is what's holding this back. I think you have it within you to get those things tweaked and bring this back to us.

DarkeSword Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes, I am in agreement. A solidly arranged track with a nice, dreamy texture, but that mechanical piano needs some adjusting. It feels very bright for a seemingly dark piece; perhaps a more subdued sample would be better suited? It sounds a bit plinky as it is. Let's get some fixes and see it again!
