DragonAvenger Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Contact Information Your ReMixer name: liquid wind Forum ID: 30427 Submission Information Name of game(s) arranged: MapleStory Name of arrangement: Sunrise Over Mardia Name of individual song(s) arranged: Maps near Ellinia Additional information about game including composer, system: PC, composer is unknown AFAIK Link to the original soundtrack: This started as my entry to PRC156(http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC156) in 2009. it was a free round but going with PRC's theme of under remixed games I went with something I've never seen a remix for, a F2P sidescrolling MMO by the name of MapleStory. Although the game had serious mechanical issues(grindfest to end all grindfests), I still appreciate its sense of aesthetics to this day and love the soundtrack. After many revisions since PRC156, I uploaded what I thought would be the final version a few months ago when Stevo volunteered to record live guitar for it. As well as offering his guitar skills he also noted a few technical issues with the piece and suggested that I change one of the instruments to the sine lead that is there now. Big thanks to Stevo for being a professional badass! The remix title comes from the server mardia which was a new server when I used to play this game in 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Really nice way of taking the source and putting a personalized spin on it. Production is a touch muddy in the low mids, but it's not breaking down by any means. Guitar sounds nice, the balance is pretty good, and the arrangement is expanded and personalized. Nice work!

DragonAvenger Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I think this one's a close call. The personalization is there, but overall the textures are pretty close to the original. I like it, and I think there's enough here for it to pass, I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the vote. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hey, that is a nice source selection After a while of listening to the intro, I was liking the feel you had going on but wasn't sure where it was going. This is definitely a very slow, additive track that takes its time going where it's going. It's deliberate though, and the gradual buildup and eventual climax actually reminds me a lot of post-rock artists like Sigur Ros, in a way. It's a really pleasant upgrade that, when coupled with some great guitar performances and soothing ambiances, takes some very repetitive, conservative melodies and expands them into something great This'll be a keeper on my playlist for sure <3 YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 yeah, pretty source, reminds me of anosou's Kaleidoscope stuff. very pretty remix too. I agree that it's a conservative take on the theme, but it comes out of it's shell in the second half. it's well-personalized, well-produced, and the the guitar is a great touch. I could drift away to this.. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
