Calum Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I have started a solo composition project of ridiculously epic proportions. The task is to write one piece of music for each of the original 150 (or 151) pokemon. So far, i have two... PIKACHU METAPOD They are all being hosted here - so feel free to drop by and see how my progress goes. Any feedback is more than welcome, Calum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ectogemia Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 You're a crazy person! If I write 151 songs before I die, I'll be satisfied. 0:43 sound like 1950s shopping music <3 The, um, break(?) at around 1:20 is very cool in Pika. The delayed xylophone (?) around 1:20 in Metapod is perfect. Very evocative. Around 0:45 in metapod, the samples kind of show their ugly side, and there's an awkward, somewhat abrupt total silence. I don't really like the complete lack of percussion, either. Just some little tambourine shakes or castanet clickies would be great, and I heard several spots where I thought they'd fit. BUT DON'T TOUCH EITHER OF THESE, YOU HAVE 149 MORE TO WRITE. WTF, GO GO GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about the percussion - I considered putting some triangle or tambourine but castanet is a good idea too! Perhaps I can hide the ugliness and fill the silence around 0:45 with a little percussion! But yeah, it's a ridiculous undertaking but I've always found pokemon so inspiring and characteristic for composition! I actually started the project a few years ago when i'd written a few themes but now i've finally gotten around to producing them. If I complete it before I die i'll be happy and a little surprised! Great job so far Cal. I'm rootin' for ya. Thanks a bunch! Keep up all the great work and productivity i've seen from you recently! We should collab - i was thinking 4:39-5:03 from remnants of the day on my soundcloud. I don't know if that's feasible or not. I actually tried to make a beat out of it a while ago but gave up quickly. Let me know if you think that'd be a good idea? If not, i can write something specifically for a collab!
