Legend of Mana

Diddle's Organ Composer: Yoko Shimomura

I made this arrangement for a friend who felt the song had very melancholic undertones and wanted to hear them expanded.

I really tried bring out the richness of the chord progressions. The chords allow for nice expansion on the melody and some

improvisation.

Some pretty nice ideas here, but the arrangement really drags; I think you could edit about 1.3 of it out total to have a more cohesive and succinct piece. I think the feel was really nice and this definitely has promise, but the arrangement feels spread a little too thin.

The sound itself was warm, but sounded muffled. I think boosting the high end slightly would give this a better sound.

The performance overall was very nice, but there were a few minor flubs here and there. They were subtle, but noticeable enough for me.

I think this definitely has promise though, but needs a little more polish for OCR.

No, please resubmit

I'm very intimate with the LoM track, so it's great to see someone showing it some love, especially a track I wouldn't have expected hearing. You've got a great idea here, but I think you almost drive it to the ground, and you could easily cut out at least a third of the track to keep things more succinct and will help prevent things from starting to feel overused.

I'm not too bothered by the piano sound, but I won't disagree with Andrew and there's no harm in making it sound better. :)

Hope to hear this one again,

perhaps it's just me, but the overall volume of the piano seemed really quiet. I agree that boosting the high end a bit would help a bit with the muffled sound. I also noticed a couple tiny mistakes in the performance, but overall it was good. main complaint, as has been said, is with the arrangement being dragged out. If you can condense it a bit and possibly brighten up the recording somewhat, this will have a good shot. :)
