DragonAvenger Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Remixer name: Rexy (real name: Bev Wooff) OCRemix user ID: 7528 Remix info:- Remix title: "The Feather's Reflection" Game covered: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Song covered: Eagle's Tower (lol project mirror) --- Hey again, unexpected re-surgeance but I can't help but give this one a go too. This is my contribution for the recent Zelda project Threshold of a Dream, a piano interpretation for Eagle's Tower. I got involved with the project when Aetherius revived it for phase 2 of its development span back in fall 2005, and unlike most remixers there was something about the genre restrictions that interested me for some reason. So upon succeeding with the audition, he suggested I have a go at Eagle's Tower, knowing my nature as a player back then. A lot of my isolated feelings still carried over from earlier that year still seemed to transfer over in my playing style, though by some coincidence it also ended up portraying a feeling of looking into a mirror on the hopes of boosting one's ego, but rather seeing a manifestation of yourself back at you - kind of providing a feeling of self-esteem and lack thereof. And yet, it just so happened that the Mirror Shield was in this dungeon, so quel coincidence. And yet, during the listening party back in the December launch, the attendees ended up "reflecting" on different things altogether, including my "epic review spam" outside OCR, the apparent appeal behind paulstretch (lol Stevo?) and the intense difficulty of this dungeon in the game (especially Ben Briggs). A lot of them encouraged me to even go ahead with the submission too, seeing how awesomely well it was received. Thanks for taking the time to consider the track, and I guess I'll see you whenever. And again it was great to see the project through to the end, especially under prophetik's hands Peace out, -Rexy- ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 This is pretty cool, and you've done a lot of good work with a strange source. The title is pretty apt, this has a sort of reflective, mysterious feel to it, which is a lot of fun to listen to. I'd say that this does run a little long, but it still does manage to stay pretty varied throughout, and the source connection is there.

OceansAndrew Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Definitely felt a little on the long side to me, but it was well played and treated the source in a very interesting manner. Really good mood music. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'm not a huge solo piano buff, but this was arguably one of my favorites tracks off Threshold, and one of the most nostalgic of the bunch imo. very moody, reflective arrangement. nice stuff.

Palpable Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I was a little disappointed that several parts of this were verbatim usages of the source, especially when you have sections like 1:29 and 5:08 that are perfect blends of source and original material. All in all, the expression was good and sold me on the arrangement end of this song. The piano sound was a little unnatural in the tails, but this seems like a pass. Nice work, Rexy.
