OceansAndrew Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Contact Information Your ReMixer name: Ferdk Your real name: Fernando Carabajal Your email address: ferdkmusic@gmail.com Your website: http://www.youtube.com/ferdk16 Submission Information Chrono Trigger (SNES) Frog's Quest for Redemption (Arrangement name) Frog's Theme (Original Name) Additional info: I made this arrangement as part of a series of videogame arrangements I do on my YouTube channel, in Rock/Metal style. I wanted to add my style to it but at the same time get the feeling of the original piece present in this arrangement, thus I opted to include the Piccolo flute melody as a solo and then a duo with my electric guitar leads for the final run. I think the music by itself narrates a story, a young hero trying to do the greater good, has to inevitably stop and rethink how to overcome his enemies, he finds strength during this time and gains companions who aid him in his quest to deal with his unfinished job. These are the main 3 parts in my arrangement: the hero not being able to succeed, a calm period to regain strength and the final battle to redeem himself. I hope somebody can feel this as well.

OceansAndrew Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Overall a pretty nice take, with a good sense of mood, and some cool additional countermelody in the lead up section, but beyond bringing this to a metal sound, it is far too similar to the original and doesn't expand enough on the theme. The production was overall pretty good, but the arrangement needs to have more overall for this to be considered at OCR. I hope you decide to add some more and resend it.

halc Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 the drums were super-muffled, and those string stabs were kinda cheap sounding. guitar mixing and performances were pretty solid though. mixing aside, you gotta do more with the source to make it your own; this is too much of a cover for OCR.

DragonAvenger Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Repeating what the others are saying; overall this is just too close to the source. Personally I'm not a fan of the piccolo in this; it sounds wayyy fake compared to everything else. Aside from that, you've got a good sound going, just needs more arrangement.
