DragonAvenger Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Original Decision Contact Information Your ReMixer name: Archangel Your real name: Jaka Čibej (That's a Slovenian male name, short for Jakob - just to avoid any sex-change stuff, that happens kind of often. XD ) Your email address: Your website: http://www.reverbnation.com/jakacibejarchangel Your userid: 23355 (http://ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=23355) Submission Information Name of game(s) arranged: Final Fantasy (IX, I guess) Name of individual song(s) arranged: The Prelude Additional information about game including composer, system, etc.: Nobuo Uematsu Link to the original soundtrack (if it is not one of the sound archives already available on the site): Your own comments about the mix, for example the inspiration behind it, how it was made, etc.: Greetings, almighty primarchs! This is my fifth submission, although it's actually a resubmission of my Prelude track (which was my first submission). Please note that this track is now a part of the Final Fantasy IX Project Album, since Fishy was kind enough to accept it after I'd modified it to a less conservative state. The structure is still the same. I didn't want to tamper with it, because I think The Final Fantasy Prelude is perfect the way it is. I just couldn't force myself to change the chord progression. Nothing sounds as pure as the original. However, I've added more percussion and more instruments and tried to make the song sound fresh and crisp. I also tried to keep the judges' feedback on the first version in mind--i.e. make sure the song ramps up more, adjust the choir volume etc. All in all, I'm pretty proud of this track, and it's still my favorite among my arrangements. Here's the link to the mp3: Archangel - Prelude to Fantasy (Final Fantasy Cover - New Version) Regards J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I really enjoyed the first submission, and this one is even better. The whole soundscape is excellent, and it really captures the majesty of the source, and expands upon it in a huge way. If this was an official version that opened up FF15 or something, I would be incredibly hyped to play the game. I love it. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yes, this is pretty fantastic. Loving the epic choir, and the delay on the piano adds a nice etheral feel with the speed you have it playing. Very nice. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Amazing to see people still pumping out new and interesting versions of this track. Definitely better then the original version you showed me and I'm glad you've gone back and improved everything. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 yeah, the soundscape here is really beautiful. I definitely have to agree with Deia about the delay on the piano, it has a really nice effect on the mood of the track. nothing holding this back from a YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
