OceansAndrew Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Here is my first submission to OCRemix in years and years, hope you guys enjoy! This is a collborative track, I have delineated both participants below: ARTIST INFORMATION Remixer: Dj CUTMAN Name: Chris Davidson Email: Website: www.DjCUTMAN.com UserID: 32956 Remixer: Spamtron Name: Guerin McMurry Email: Website: www.iamspamtron.com UserID: N/A SUBMISSION INFORMATION Name of Game: The Legend of Zelda: The Adventure of Link Name of Arrangement: I Am Error Name of Individual Song: Palace (aka "Temple") Composer: Akito Nakatsuka Comments: I love Zelda II, as a child I approached it with no prejudice, enjoying every minute of bizarre 2D adventuring. The core concept of this remix was to take a timbre close to the original NES and make it bob and weave through organic drum production. This project was unique for me, the leads and basslines were creating by Spamtron using tracker software, exported as stems handed over to me for drum programming and mixing. Spamtron and I have never met in person, this remix was created entirely through the Internet. It was originally intended to be a fun afternoon project but the first track just turned out so darn cool, we took a few weeks and released a free EP aptly titled "Bagu and the Riverman" .:.

Emunator Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wow, cool. I'm pretty impressed with the concept here, the soundscape is dirty and beefy despite the general lack of instrumentation. Sick bassline. It's a pretty cool listen, but I'm not feeling it as far as OCR's standards go. The arrangement runs pretty long and doesn't really offer very many changeups in tone, texture, or instrumentation. The writing itself on both the melodies and the drums is also pretty static. The synth arpeggios add some really awesome feel to the leads, but when you take them away the only other melodic writing in the song is pretty much a straight cover of the original without any production/instrumentation upgrades. It's enjoyable by all accounts but I don't think there's enough expansion or variation from the original source to be a pass here. Go and post this publicly and get some exposure for it though!

halc Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm right on board with Emu's vote, sorry to say. it has tons of merit as a track but the arrangement isn't expansive enough for us to accept. continue making kickass music, hoping to hear some more of your stuff come this way in the future.

Nutritious Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yup, really in straight cover mode here. We're really looking for personalization in the arrangement submissions. Instrumentation is very cool for the most part. Liked the synth work, especially the bassline. Low end on this is pretty muffled/indistrict, so some mixing/eq cleanup could be called for. Cool cover though, guys. No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
