Theophany Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Project Directors: Theophany, Emunator Art Director: keiiii Project Concept This is a collaborative concept album designed to capture the story, characters and environments of Ocarina of Time through the combined efforts of remixers, performers, and visual artists. Because of the enormous number of Ocarina of Time remixes and solo projects over the years, we want this album to be a community effort. We are encouraging collaboration as much as possible with the goal of creating one of the most professional-sounding, cohesive, and story-driven OCR albums to date. What We Need Arrangers to conceptualize and complete remixes. This is where the bulk of the work will be! Producers who are interested in offering their services to artists who would like to participate but don't have the production or sequencing skills to create an OCR-quality remix. Performers who are experienced with any type of instrument and have a high-quality recording setup. We would like to get quality live performers on remixes in any instance where a remixer's sample quality isn't up to par. Visual Artists to create accompanying pieces of art for each track or "scene" in the project. Sound Designers interested in mastering and sound design for the project. If you're interested in contributing to one or more of the above areas, please get in touch with myself or Emunator and show us a sample of your work. Auditioning / Claiming Unless you were specifically invited to remix a particular track by the directors before the project went public, all remixers wishing to claim a track will need to provide a solid work in progress that is approved by both directors (for overall quality and for its cohesiveness with the rest of the album) in order to make a claim on any track. This is all in the spirit of collaboration and sharing ideas, so please don't feel daunted or afraid to audition. If you don't feel comfortable with production or sequencing, but are a talented arranger with a great concept for a track, we will work with you and do whatever it takes to bring your song up to the necessary level of quality. It does not matter if you are a posted remixer, an OCR veteran of 10 years or someone who just joined the community yesterday, the only thing that matters here is the quality of your work! Genre Guidelines The genre for this project is “soundtrack”, which is pretty open ended. A good reference of what we’re looking for is anime soundtracks. Anime OSTs have both story-specific “cinematic” tracks, as well as “themed” tracks which appear throughout the series at appropriate moments. Anime OSTs generally blend a variety of orchestral, world, and electronic influences while still delivering the appropriate mood and energy. The Ocarina of Time OST is expansive, varied, and creates a strong sense of exploration and “seeing the world” and its cultures. That’s the kind of spirit we want to capture by incorporating unique instrumentation and diverse musical influences. BE CREATIVE. We strongly encourage artists to step outside of their comfort zone, since you'll have a great support network of performers and producers at your disposal to help you push your boundaries as a musician. Genre influences for each remix should always be source-appropriate and should try to fit with the general direction of the album. To help with this, CONTACT ONE OF THE DIRECTORS with a concept for your track before preparing an audition to make sure it will fit on the album. This doesn't mean that we will only accept certain genres for each track, but we reserve the right to refuse a WIP if the genre selection clashes too much with the rest of the album. Source Usage Since many of the themes in Ocarina of Time are extremely short, we are open to the use/cameo of themes from other Zelda Games when it feels appropriate to the mood or setting. Good examples might be re-occurring locations and ocarina themes from Twilight Princess and Link to the Past. What's important is that outside sources fit from a musical/mood standpoint, and within the "universe" of Ocarina of Time in the sense that they don't draw too much attention away from the OoT source you're remixing. We've already included a few instances of this on the working tracklist, but if there's an event/area in Ocarina of Time that you would like to see represented with a non-OoT source, just let us know and we'll see if it can work for the project! Intermission Tracks At the end of each disc, we've got a space for an Intermission track that is an exceptionally strong arrangement, but perhaps might not fit anywhere in the main album flow. These tracks could be great opportunities for various medleys or longer, more traditional remixes. If you have an idea for any of these tracks, feel free to get in touch with one of the directors about it! Gapless Playback The final album will be formatted for gapless playback. If you’re using ambience and sound design in your track intros/outros, please leave 10+ second buffers/tails which can be used to transition to and from your track. If your arrangement does not use ambiance, just keep in mind sound design may be added if there’s a need to help transition into your track. Deadlines Deadlines will be instituted and handled on a case-by-case basis. Always maintain contact with the project directors, especially if you cannot meet a deadline.

Xenon Odyssey Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Six years late, suckas! And since you are adamant on arrangers who don't have their production chops up to par, I'll have to think of something to send for a claim...

Theophany Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Look forward to it! Just to clarify though, we're not looking to force collaborations or exclusively seeking out arrangers who need production help. We want high production quality on every track, whether it's the project staff or the remixer (or both) achieving that goal. We just don't want lack of production to be a limiting/deciding factor for people with a really solid arrangement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC2151 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 An "anime soundtrack" for OoT? Yes, for goodness' sake, yes! The claimed tracks sound promising thus far (Jillian Aversa doing a rendition of Forest Temple? ), and I hope the momentum keeps up. Tackling OoT is no mean task, after all.

Dyne Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm a bit surprised this hasn't totally exploded into loads of people looking forward to it. I'm sure folks will see it soon enough though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Haha, yeah, Ocarina of Time! I shouldn't join any more project but you guys are teasing me... We'll how it goes! Anyway, good luck and I hope to see this one completed with awesome music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEED and HONOR Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) This project looks awesome. Nobody claimed Gerudo Valley? I claim Gerudo Valley. If somebody picked Gerudo Valley by the time I wrote this, I'd like to pick Last Battle. My sound is electronic with trancy/progressive/dancy genre.

Rexy Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I might do an intermission for Kaepora Gaebora, depending on how my other three (four?) coming deadlines go (FF6 / Wily Gauntlet Round 10 / Vroom / SD3). But either way, good luck in steering this through, Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMonz Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I very very much desire a spot on this! I'd love to make something for Last Battle (If SPEED and HONOR doesn't get it first, that is ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eino Keskitalo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 You've obviously put a lot of thought into how to run this thing and what you want out of it; this alone makes me look forward to the album a lot! (Plus Theophany/pixietricks collab? That alone sounds worth the wait!) Good luck! edit: I've actually been singing Zelda's Lullaby as an actual lullaby for my daughter.. it works. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moot Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 SO. I'm really interested in helping out with this project, but I am unfortunately still pretty green when it comes to arranging/producing/that kind of thing. HOWEVER. I can play bassoon, and have the ability to record myself playing bassoon. I also happen to have access to a contra bassoon at the moment (though only until about the end of June really). If anyone is interested in some low reed goodness, I would be more than happy to help out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll put you on the performers list if you want to offer your playing skill. Just make sure we got reliable contact info for you, private message me or Emu. If anyone you know is down to help out, like wood wind players in general, that would be cool too...

Natalya Zarraga Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Awesome, I love Ocarina of Time. Well, I'd like to offer up my performance skills to anyone who's interested! I can contribute female vocals, folk harp, piano, recorder, glockenspiel, djembe, tambourine and rainstick, and maybe Irish bouzouki. Considering harp and Zelda go really well together, if you need a real harp, I can help you. www.youtube.com/roseofmay www.natalyazarraga.com Specific samples: (Serenade of Water harp cover) (Oath to Order/Giant's theme harp cover) (Evanescence cover with vocals, harp, recorders, and guitar) ("Sundown," an original song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theophany Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 @Terra Wow, thank you for posting. Really impressive work... We're really looking for people with unique instrumental skills so we'll definitely be in touch soon. There's already a few tracks on the project I know could really shine with your help. Are the OCR forums the best way to keep in touch? If not PM us and let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theophany Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 CN, sounds like you can sing pretty well man. I'll mark you down. I was listening to deep memory and thought of the new Deus Ex OST. Vocals like yours could sound really cool on a Temple remix or one of the darker ocarina themes. Are these forums the best way to contact you? Also, nice name. My family is from Toronto... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C7 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I plan on getting a wip together for a track or two for this soon (along with everything else I plan on doing ), but I want to put myself down for trumpet playing. Here are a few examples: (posted on OCR)Mega Man - Riding the Avalanche Mega Man - License to Chill Mega Man - The Filler I'm not sure what my wife is willing to do at the moment, but she's the clarinetist in License and Riding.

EC2151 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 While indeed I am continuing to work on my FF6 track, I'm starting to put together an audition track for this project for the Temple of Time. While that should by no means frighten off any more talented musician from wanting to take the iconic track, hopefully I can submit something and see if it's up to snuff. If not, it's off to the workshop, I suppose : p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I for one would love to hear some CN vocals (I liked that PRC entry you did a while back) on a track, so this is getting better and better! (: --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonetic Hero Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm not sure what my wife is willing to do at the moment I hope it's butt stuff ...Too far...? Anyway, this sounds like a fun project. I'll check back in a couple weeks to see if you guys still need remixers, cause I'm musically swamped with the last round of the WCRG since I'll be my team's primary mixer and with writing original stuff to finish up an EP, plus getting settled into the percussion studio at school/preparing for placement auditions. So yeah, I'll check the thread or PM someone or whatever in a couple weeks to see if there's still a spot. Laterz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theophany Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, there's been a little delay with responding to auditions but I tend to be really busy during the week. We've had a few awesome auditions from people like Doc Nano, Abadoss, and Sir Jordanius so far. I just want to encourage everyone to link people who might be interested in the project. If you can attract new talent to OCR even better. If you have a recommendation for someone who should be on the project, let us know and we'll check them out! We're still looking for musicians (guitars, brass, strings, woodwind, world instruments, vocalists) as well as artists. I want to encourage more remixers to audition, too--I know people are really busy with work and other projects but auditions are for getting your concept across, not subbing a completed mix. You can include a little writeup to help explain where you want to take your track if it helps. We also want balance between cinematic and world fusion type tracks and more traditional OC remixes with solid style, groove and energy. We're always open to making a cool idea work for the project.
