Chimpazilla Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Your ReMixer name: ZasYour website: http://zazmusic.bandcamp.com/Name of game(s) arranged: OoT, bitchesName of arrangement: Pale Blue FireName of individual song(s) arranged: Ice Cavern, Water TempleHowdy, this is partly a "proof I'm still alive and working on this" kinda thing but also one of the parts of the project I'm more proud of - it might seem slight at 2min, but there's a lot of content packed in there (zelda fans, count the references) and I tried to make it all as seamless as possible. It's also one of the prettiest parts of OoT that NEVER gets remixed, imoAnyway I'm wrapping up Gerudo and the endgame suite, and then some revisions to do, and this stupid project might actually be done! Somewhere around 2012 or 2013 or whatever I got something of a life, but thankfully I've lost it, so I can finally strangle this albatross and get back to what really matters: arranging obscure tracks by Yoko Kanno.Until next time!ice cavern: water temple:
Chimpazilla Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 Oh wow, this starts off so very cool. Really nice timbres used to establish the ice cave mood. Very nicely combined with the water temple material, very nice melding of the sources. I'm highly impressed by this. But just as I feel like the whole idea is getting established (as it is a slow burn build), the song is OVER, fadeout style. I can't sign off on this being a full enough arrangement. But I'd LOVE to hear this expanded with more arrangement ideas added, at the very least another full minute of material. NO (resubmit)
Emunator Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Very interesting approach, dude. Really, your treatment of the two sources is pretty straightforward, like most of your other Seven Years material, but the strength in this arrangement lies in how you merged the two sources together seamlessly and adapted it to a much more high-fidelity, expressive sound pallet. Your sample quality is really great - production and sequencing is a bit rough around the edges, but nothing too bad. I agree with Chimp, this is too underdeveloped and short though! Especially ending on a slightly dissonant, harsh sounding flute section, I would have really liked for that section to function as more of a breakdown before building back up into a beautiful climax that's more texturally similar to what you did in the first minute. The way this ended didn't leave a great taste in my mouth. Need more meat! NO (resubmit!)
DragonAvenger Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Totally agreed with the others. Really cool timbres, and a great mix of the two melodies, but it's so short that it's over right when the track feels like it's just established itself. Would love to hear this expanded! NO (resubmit)
