Chernabogue Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Already 1:40 inside my new "Dead Music" arrangement, and it's way better.
Brandon Strader Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Already 1:40 inside my new "Dead Music" arrangement, and it's way better. I'm excited to hear it~! Don't forget, if you want to, you can leave some arranging for me to do too
Chernabogue Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I'm excited to hear it~! Don't forget, if you want to, you can leave some arranging for me to do too You'll have enough on your plate with the recordings and the "make it sounds actually good".
YukiKazami Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 ;-; I wish I could have gotten in on this, just played FF2's remake and it was really good. Hope it comes out awesome!
Chernabogue Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I'm excited to hear it~! You'll be able to listen to it TODAY! EDIT: Sent to Brandon! Edited February 15, 2014 by Chernabogue
Brandon Strader Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 So close to done, I can almost taste it..... Website and other stuff will probably take a good while though
Necrox Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Re-familiarized myself with Magician's Tower a little while ago. I hope this comes out soon.
Brandon Strader Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 A song was finished yesterday, and it is glorious. Concerning the one final song that is holding this up... It might be cut if it doesn't work out. Either way, I am 500% satisfied with the album now as is. It's just amazing. It's the kind of album that is so good you just want to walk away after it's out. Not sure if it can be outdone. Will probably be the best community album I could ever hope to coordinate.

Necrox Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Can we get a preview or something small? Even if it's just 30 secs of a track.
Brandon Strader Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Can we get a preview or something small? Even if it's just 30 secs of a track. I was thinking of doing that, but you actually gave me a much better idea. I think I would like to make a promotional trailer, upload it to youtube, and get a jump on promoting the album much earlier than OCR would usually do. And to top it all off, I could use game footage and such because I'd upload it on my own youtube channel. Suppose I may get on that eventually, but not if it slows down the album production itself In other news, I've requested the updated OCR album template from Stevo -- don't think I didn't notice it changed! Rather than keep all 3 sites consistent with the same template, I'd like to make a ff trilogy landing page once FF3 is completed, if such a thing is possible. So rather than linking to all 3 albums individually, I could simply link to say, fftrilogy.ocremix.org which would have a simple button for all 3 albums to either visit their respective site or just download from there at a glance.

You're welcome, that sounds cool.
Brandon Strader Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 So I sent the album in earlier to OCR!! Very exciting! Been listening to the whole thing too. It's so darn good. As far as I know, 9 out of the 21 songs are already passed the panel.. that's almost half the album.. so hopefully the eval is easy and swift!
Eino Keskitalo Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Hooray! I probably mentioned this earlier, but I played the GBA remake and enjoyed the music, so I'm very much looking forward to the release.
Necrox Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Hooray! I probably mentioned this earlier, but I played the GBA remake and enjoyed the music, so I'm very much looking forward to the release. Haha, same.
Brandon Strader Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 I was listening to the album the other night and it really struck me how much of a narrative there is between the songs -- It really feels like a cohesive adventure in a way, "Snakeyes" leads perfectly into "Grind the Crank" and "Personification of Evil" is a perfect lead in and sets the tone for "A Kingdom Fallen" among so many other special moments on there. Can't wait for you guys to hear it.
Subz1987 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Wow, it's been a while. Is this project next?
Brandon Strader Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 I honestly can't say for sure what is next, but it's been submitted for eval since May so it should be getting close. Like I said earlier on in the thread 9 of the songs had already passed the panel so that should have also helped make the eval easier but who knows When it gets closer to time that I know anything at all, I want to try to do a listening party on Twitch that people can tune into and hear the album in advance, other people are also going to be allowed to do listening parties but I'm not going to specifically schedule those and they'll have to do it on their own - the twitch one will be the major listening party, and it'll be a little more whimsical than usual and might include some kind of audience participation from the comments.
IanFitC Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 When the Twitch party happens, let me know. I really should be more involved with this community.
Brandon Strader Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Clear, irrefutable evidence that this is a real thing! Chernabogue, Arrow, Jorito and 2 others 5
Mirby Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Sweet. can't wait to finally \m/ \m/ to this whole album Brandon Strader 1
Necrox Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 When that 2nd tune hit I got full body chills. I've been waiting since 2012 and this sounds great. That overworld remix at the end killed me. This is gonna be awesome. Brandon Strader 1
