Chernabogue Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) TRAILER http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKBHKD4uwio Welcome to the Vampire Variations : Volume III Project!This final album will be the final act of the Vampire Variations trilogy started in 2011, and will focus on the atmospheric and outstanding fan-favorite soundtrack of Super Castlevania IV (SNES). The project is officially endorsed by OverClocked ReMix and KNGI, and will (tentatively) be released on October 31, 2015 as an official OCR album. The album is done -- stay tuned for its release and more exciting stuff! Aim & GenreThe aim of the project is to accompany Simon Belmont's battle against darkness with great arrangements from the whole soundtrack. We are telling this epic storywith music, and I really want people to feel it through the album.We are creating an epic and emotional journey.The arrangements should contain orchestral instruments, but all genres are welcome. For instance, you can do a metal or a dubstep remix, as long as they contain orchestra iinstruments or influences. I can provide help with such instruments (samples only).Recruitment, Deadlines & TracklistTo claim a track on the project, two separate ways exist:- You're a posted remixer: you can claim a track without auditionning- You're a non-posted remixer: I want you to show me a concept for a track you'd like to claim. Previous works are also welcome as a supplement.Deadlines will be coming soon, but the final one will be around August 2015. So be sure you can have your track(s) done by that time! Since we have around one year to get it done, don't be surprised that I send multiple reminders for updates regularly. All information about artists, tracks, deadlines, etc. can be found on my public spreadsheet: LINKNEXT DEADLINE: Feb 22, 2015CollaborationHere's a list of people who wish to help you on a mix. I can add you here if you tell me so, and if you add what skill(s) you're offering.- Chernabogue: orchestra/drums programming- Tuberz McGee: lots of live instruments (guitar, bass, etc.)- XPRTNovice: live flute, clarinet, saxophones, trumpet, guitar, mandolin, or farting noises- Furilas: live bass- timaeus222: Electric and synth bass (especially dark bass wobbles), Electric guitar (rhythm, maybe lead, depending on the track), Countermelodic elements, or ear candy filler, Cinematic textures, impacts, sweeps, risers, etc., Standard orchestral strings stuff (staccato, legato, pizzi, etc)Note to VV1 & VV2 ArtistsWith VV3 coming to OCR, I decided the first two volumes should be re-released along the third one as OCRI albums. The whole trilogy deserves a truly epic release!However, this cannot happen without the consent from ALL the artists from the two previous volumes. You can sign here. Don't forget to tell me, so I can add you on my sheet (page 2). VV3 artists will eventually have to do this in the future as well.Prepare your holy water bottles one final battle!

Tuberz McGee Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Always keen to help with live instrumentation. I might actually take a track this time... we'll see though. University is getting hectic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 It's alive.. alive! I foresee a Tuberz McGee contribution on my track. Orchestral instruments, check. (Maybe another collab point.) VV1+2 consent form signed. Let's get the whip cracking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Of course you can throw my VV2 track back on the re-release if you want, but honestly my new stuff for this album will be around 3000x better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Thanks to you all, guys! Don't forget to post here or PM to tell me you signed the consent form for VV1/VV2. Other people, start claiming tracks! Let's do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuberz McGee Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It's alive.. alive!I foresee a Tuberz McGee contribution on my track. Collabing with Eino? Man, that's strange. Have we ever done that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Collabing with Eino? Man, that's strange. Have we ever done that before? You guys should totally find a cool band name like "The SuperFuzz Bros." Also, I added deadlines to the holy spreadsheet of doom: 1st one is december, then every two months until August! We can do it! If you know people who may be interested in taking part in the project, let them know!

Yami Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Damn, I'm so looking forward to Simon's Theme, that's my favorite Perhaps I'll find a track too, I could do a WIP for an audition Edit: Do organs count?

Chernabogue Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Edit: Do organs count? As for orchestral instruments, I guess? They do! Even if I was thinking about strings/brass, etc., organs work. We'll see in later stages of development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yami Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I might have an idea for Room of Close Associates, but I'm not yet sure if I can pull it off. 6/8 is not my strong time signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Does a single grand piano count? Anyway, I signed the form and am good to roll with this thing. Thanks for the messages xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I have a hunch that Room of Close Associates might fit in well with Treasury Room, so can Yami and I claim it at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Multi-quote power, go! I might have an idea for Room of Close Associates, but I'm not yet sure if I can pull it off. 6/8 is not my strong time signature Go ahead and show me a WiP. I recon it's far from being the easiest source from the game! Does a single grand piano count? Yes, it does! A piano solo may be a nice break as it was in VV2! I have a hunch that Room of Close Associates might fit in well with Treasury Room, so can Yami and I claim it at the same time? So far, I'd prefer to keep 1 source/1 remix. But if you only do a "little" cameo of RoCA into your mix, it's okay. As long as using another track doesn't make it the "main" source of your remix, you're good to go.

Yami Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I recon it's far from being the easiest source from the game! It isn't that's true, but the only source I really like is already taken (of course by Brandon ) and all the other tracks didn't click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chernabogue Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 For now, I'd prefer to have all the soundtrack being arranged, than having multiple takes on the same source, especially if it is "Simon's Theme" since this one has already been remixed so many times. The same goes for artist claims, I'd prefer people to work on one track at the time, and to claim another one once they're done, rather than having them working on two tracks at the same time.

XPRTNovice Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Don't think I'm available for creating my own track here but please let me know if you want collab for live flute, clarinet, saxophones, trumpet, guitar, mandolin, or farting noises.
