rhapsodos Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Really love this. It's been a while since I listened to any purely orchestral remixes and this one was spec-ta-cu-lar C: It had a really soaring, dynamic, adventurous feel to it and I enjoyed it immensely. Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I KNEW ABOUG SOULIARC BEFORE HE WAS A REMIXER Good on ya, dude, welcome aboard, the song is fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squint Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 "Cinematic" is a great descriptor for this piece. I can't stop imagining a sweeping camera showing off the world of FFXI. I have to admire the orchestral composition, as I've always been slightly intimidated to try something large scale with an orchestra - I've only done a few exercises back in school, but something like this always tempts me to do some more experimenting. I especially like the...modesty, that you show in this arrangement. What I mean to say is, you seem confident enough in the strength of the piece that you're unafraid to scale back on the intensity once or twice in order to build up the tension once again. It's a great effect. Impressive stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souliarc Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I KNEW ABOUG SOULIARC BEFORE HE WAS A REMIXER :lmassoff: You're right on Squint with dialing back the intensity. @2:07 I was just compelled to do such a thing and I'm very happy it, and the rest of the song, worked towards the enjoyment for you all =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegimaSonic Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Never played FFXI. But I'm loving this, Orchestral pieces always give me that nice warm fuzzy EPIC feeling inside. Near the end of my first listen I was going like...awesome this doesn't seem to end and then 3:25 happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transmogrificational Tune Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Definetely one to play with the speakers full tilt. Excellent pacing and goood use or varied instruments forthwith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Indeed a very interesting blend of western and eastern instruments. The transition at 1:57 is a little too sudden, IMO. The following breakdown is pretty sweet, as is the build up after that. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 With a repetitive source like Heaven's Tower, I can understand the difficulty in working with it. But hearing the panpipe part being alluded to within the wind instrumentation in this setting it, as well as hearing the bell parts being alluded to in some of the pitched percussion as well, they managed to set the foundations for building up this symphonic vision behind the track. It's almost similar to GrayLightning's earlier material in that regard with some of these more unconventional transition ideas, which to me isn't at all a bad thing. For the most part it was very well realised, and even the strings and flute parts - often tricky enough to humanise - both have been realised well enough. There were one or two parts though that the strings still had their mechanical nature to them, particularly in some of the builds throughout the track, but thankfully the texture work throughout really managed to give this a very solid lift. This more unconventional structure might split some listeners, but I felt that for its purpose it managed to get the job done. Hopefully we'll get to see more of Souliarc in the near future if something like THIS ended up being his first submission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 This is a very nice orchestral ReMix. I think the title says it all on this one, it's like a cinematic heaven and I'm really liking the blending of styles here. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
