Lemonectric Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Sakit Chills Out (updated 12-17-14) Old Version Sources are all from La-Mulana: , , , I've had a WIP for this ever since I played La-Mulana last year, but the La-Mulana 2 kickstarter has prompted me to finish.

timaeus222 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Sounds great! I liked when you gradually transitioned from the straight rhythm into the swing rhythm. The only thing I'd say is to check the bell treble. Sounds a bit overly bright or resonant to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I take it you mean the tinkly bells that come in during the swing section and not the ones that appear earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I take it you mean the tinkly bells that come in during the swing section and not the ones that appear earlier? 1:28 and 1:39, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eino Keskitalo Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 So nice to listen to a new Hylian Lemon piece after a good while. Great stuff as usual, and seems like you've been getting better while still doing your thing! I have one nitpick, the leads are a tiny bit loud to my taste in the first third. The quieter bit in the middle is of course fine, but the last two thirds in general seem a bit better balanced. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katajun Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Are you trying to get this posted in one of their fan updates? (cus im doing the same thing ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I sent it in near the beginning of the kickstarter and they responded, so I'm just waiting for it to happen. I wonder if they got any music besides ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 The judges rejected it because the first third was basically the source. Or because they don't recognize true art, I dunno. Anyway, here's an update (only up to 1:26 is different). Think I've covered their complaints? Sakit Chills Out, Judge Edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) What did it sound like before? It'd help to hear what you did to it. It looks like there may have been the lofi-but-fitting orchestral elements added? Lead melody variation? Anyways, I think the judges are right, and I agree, that the swing section and on are where the interpretation was greatest. I'd estimate that it's about 70% similar or so to Giant's Rage. Something like that. The arp tone and the lead's melodic contour are rather similar, but you had some good flourishes and portamento on the lead that differentiates some. Perhaps you could try changing the harmonic direction too; instead of following the original chord progression, maybe change the second half of a bar's chord progression and do a key modulation out, and back in later. Or maybe go down to a minor third below the root and ascend to the root in the bass. Edited December 18, 2014 by timaeus222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Added old version back to the thread. Mostly it's a changed-up melody line with a couple background additions. The concept of the track moving from a fairly straightforward cover to a looser interpretation (rhythm included) was intentional, buuuuut I guess it's not entirely in line with OCR's philosophy. I can try out some chord changes if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Okay, so the differences I notice: - 0:21 has a new chord movement in the tubular bells - 0:27 has a little trill and then a little ascent in the melody - New notes at 0:29 - Octave shift soon after, followed by bells, and this is done again later - Other subdivisions and soaring movement in the melody 'n stuff Yeah, I like the new melodic direction. I couldn't tell what changed at first on full consecutive listens, but when I compared them side-by-side, the changes are pretty clearly differentiating. This is well on its way. You might wanna have a judge take another look at it to be sure, but I think it's got a much better shot now.

Emunator Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I approve! Sorry I had to be a dick in the judge thread; like I said your mix sounded awesome on its own, nothing against you or your musicianship, but I feel a lot more comfortable about passing this new version with regards to the OCR standards. GG Lemon! Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
