Wiesty Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 As many of you know The OC Jazz Collective released its' first single last April entitled "The Guru". Since it's release, the track has garnered over 2000 listens on SoundCloud and maxed out its' downloads. The track can be heard at the following link: https://soundcloud.com/wiesty/the-guru-the-oc-jazz-collective To celebrate, we're announcing our first planned album release on OCRemix... Chronology20 Years of Chrono Trigger In summer of 1995, SquareSoft released what would become one of the most iconic and recognizable video games in JRPG history. Created by "The Dream Team" of SquareSoft, Chrono Trigger pushed the limits of the Super NES and had its' gamers holding onto their consoles despite the dawn of a new generation that was soon to follow. Most memorable however, was Yasunori Mitsuda's beautifully crafted soundtrack which set the atmosphere for the game and kept gamers immersed in what would become one of Square's most iconic stories. "Chronology: 20 Years of Chrono Trigger" will be the OC Jazz Collective's debut album and will pay tribute to Mitsuda's/Uematsu's score and its' legacy that has stood the test of time. The album will consist of 8 jazz and funk arrangements which span the entirety of the game's story. This album will consist of all live instrumentation and performances from the OC Jazz Collective's impressive line up of musicians.Personnel: Project Director: WiestyArtwork David LloydAndrew LuersGlauber Lopes Schwarzer Alptraum Collin Otto Max NolanXPRTNovice (Soprano/Alto/Bari Sax)Anthony Lofton (Tenor Sax)Fratto (Trombone, Arranging)Sir Jordanius (Trumpet) Jorik Bergman (Flute)Nostalvania (Piano, Arranging)audiofidelity (Bass, Guitar)Wiesty (Director/Drums/Percussion/Piano, Arranging)DrumUltimA (Vibraphone, Arranging)AndyP (Guitar)Track List65,000,000 BC : Burn!

DarkeSword Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Super excited about this, but I need to point out that the Projects forum is specifically for OCR-approved official projects. As far as I know, neither Dave, Larry, nor I have heard about this album project before. Moving this over to R&C for the time being. EDIT: NEVERMIND I AM A STUPID BUTT! BRING ON THE JAZZ!!! ITS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW AND EXCITINGLY DIFFERENT STORY! Edited January 22, 2015 by DarkeSword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagnewshreds Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yesssssssssssssssss! Stoked for this and Chronicles of Time. So much CT remixin' for me to consume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 This is really exciting! Thanks Sagnew for drawing my attention over here with your dang like button mashing Sad that I couldn't be involved, even tho you wanted a simple flute part.. though it probably wasn't simple enough for me. Despite having a couple mixes posted with flute I still consider myself a beginner, don't even have embouchure down pat yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 @Wiesty Very psyched, of course. I haven't been chiming in lately because my second daughter is going to be born like, tomorrow, and things have been pretty crazy. Please make sure we discuss logistics & schedule before any release date is announced. And if we've got some sort of short trailer, or just a quick audio demo we can play, for the upcoming MAGFest panel.... let's do it TheChargingRhino, Eino Keskitalo and Fratto 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
