Blizzard Month

Theme for this month: Any song from a game released by Blizzard is fair game.

Songs are due on November 26 at 9 PM Eastern US time. This date/time may change, but I'm not sure if it will or not yet.

The rules for Dwelling of Duels can be viewed here.

Here are the important rules: Main entries must be a cover, arrangement, or other reworking of a song from a video game. The main instrument of each song must be "played live", meaning that it must be a real guitar, real keyboard (un-quantized), real trombone, or other real instrument that you're actually playing. Two minutes in length.

Send all entries to dodsongs@gmail.com with all needed info (Remixers, game, sources used, link to song, etc)

DISCLAIMER: Dwelling of Duels is not an OC ReMix competition, album project, nor is it endorsed by OC ReMix in any way. More information can be found at www.dwellingofduels.net

It's always good to see Ashane but what type of tea does that guy drink?

[Ivan Hakštok]

I had tons of fun doing a track for the free month, and I'm definitely coming back for Blizzard month!

If anyone wants to hear my free month entry, I've uploaded it to youtube:

Sort of a tribute to Yasunori Mitsuda. It's too medley-ish to be submitted to OCR so I probably won't be doing any more work on it, but I'm really considering the idea of expanding the individual bits into standalone remixes

Blizzard month is a very nice theme... A shame months aren't longer, but I guess I can say (like all months lol) that I'll try to do something for this one.

EDIT: For people interested:

Starcraft 2 OST: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE54BB0FA74140C2A .

Silicon & Synapse games good? (The Lost Vikings, Rock & Roll Racing)

Knowing SnappleMan, it was probably him that came up with the title. The revised version has a more... palatable moniker.

Probably, though I don't think Rock & Roll Racing had any original tunes...

[Brandon Strader]

I'm probably not going to enter this month. I'll still update the thread.

Also Diablo 3 is worth looking at, though there's not a lot of melodies to grasp there, it's more "cinematic / ambient" style for the most part.

[KyleJCrb]

I predict at least 3 Tristram arrangements this month.

[Bahamut]

Is it bad that when I saw Blizzard I immediately thought of Blizzard Buffalo?

[Brandon Strader]

I predict at least 3 Tristram arrangements this month.

It'll be a shame if nobody covers StarCraft. I remember Terran 2 theme being pretty bumpin.

[jnWake]

I think I'm going to enter this time, I composed an arrangement, so now I have to write it!

If anybody that plays electric guitar wants to collab or something, it'd be cool too
