Light_of_Aether Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi! I'm the lead reorchestrator of Metroid Reorchestrated (MREO) and I'm recruiting for a reboot/revival of MREO. This reboot will be called Metroid: Orchestral Fusion (MOF) and will be a fusion of orchestral and electronic elements. We're moving beyond just orchestral because a lot of Metroid music incorporates electronic elements that are incredibly difficult or impossible to replicate with orchestral instruments. The overall goal of this project is to arrange/remix every Metroid song from every game. If I can find enough talented, passionate individuals (6-7 people besides myself) we will start with Metroid Fusion. The goal of the album would be to arrange/remix every song as if Fusion had released in 2015 on the 3DS. So essentially a high-definition audio upgrade with some original music/embellishments. Tracklist: Please let me know via PM or reply which track(s) you want to do. Title - DarkDjinn Sector 1 Environmental Sound (Silence 1) Environmental Sound (Tension) Environmental Sound (Shock) Facing a Huge Reaction - Light_of_Aether Tension Before a Confrontation Vs. Arachnus - DarkDjinn X Invasion Detection Navigation Room Vs Fake Chozo Statue Environmental Sound (Disquieting) Sector 2 - Chernabogue Vs. Cyclops Environmental Sound (Silence 2) Sector 4 Aquatic Level Control Zone Vs. Serris - DJ Galvanization Sector 3 Vs. B.O.X. Sector 6 SA-X Appears Sector 5 Low Temp Area Sector 3 Emergency Situation Sector 3 Restart the Cooling Unit Timer Mission Environmental Sound (Intrigue) Vs. Mother Plant Vs. Nightmare - Chernabogue Sector 4 Underwater Area Vs. Ridley - DJ Galvanization The Final Command - Coaltergeist Vs. SA-X Station Escape Timer Mission Epilogue (Part 1 and 2) Ending/Credits Appearance Jingle Get Item Jingle SA-X Chase Timeline: Get team together and begin working by mid-August - Still taking team members! Have 4-5 tracks ready as a teaser for release on December 25, 2016 Release full album on November 17, 2017 for Metroid Fusion's 15th anniversary This project will be entirely volunteer-based. I'm looking for talented, passionate individuals who periodically spend some of their free time on making music. The capacity of your involvement would be arranging music, critiquing music, and making new electronic elements. Don't worry about deadlines. I'm working on my Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and my research/coursework comes before any of my hobbies. It would be quite unreasonable of me to expect anyone else to meet hard, specific deadlines when I wouldn't meet them, either. If you would like to join, please either comment in this thread or send me a PM. If you have comments, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to comment or PM me. Thanks!

Chernabogue Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'd be happy to join, as I love Metroid Fusion and as I do orchestra stuff, but your project's timeline is too short for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDjinn Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This sounds amazing. Sending you a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sounds amazing; been a long-time fan of MREO and ZREO, would love to help out if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light_of_Aether Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'd be happy to join, as I love Metroid Fusion and as I do orchestra stuff, but your project's timeline is too short for me. The timeline is definitely not set in stone; I should have said "Tentative Timeline". A more realistic timeline would likely be a new song every other month or every three months.

Chernabogue Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Once my new work schedule is up, I'll give it a try. Any tracklist or list of claims in the words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderStrike Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'd be up for taking part, slightly concerned my orchestral samples might not be good enough to compare with other peoples. Will this kind of standard be good enough? https://soundcloud.com/philip-aldous-composer/tarantella-forsennato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be up for taking part, slightly concerned my orchestral samples might not be good enough to compare with other peoples. Will this kind of standard be good enough? https://soundcloud.com/philip-aldous-composer/tarantella-forsennato From what I've heard on your SoundCloud, your samples are good enough and you know how to use them. In general, you could have the best samples in the world, but if you don't know how to use them, your songs probably won't turn out well. The opposite is also true: if you have low quality samples, but know how to use them extremely well, your songs will likely turn out well. Like this gem I found on the Zelda Reorchestrated forums years ago, http://pisanifamily.info/will/music/Zelda%20Medley.mp3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chernabogue Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I guess I could start with "Vs. Nightmare", or maybe "Sector 2", and see how it goes. I need to listen to the soundtrack again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDjinn Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I would like to be put down for both the Title theme and the Vs. Arachnus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to be put down for both the Title theme and the Vs. Arachnus. I put you both down for your requested songs. I'd like to have progress updates at least once every two weeks (starting mid to late August) in which you send me your pieces for critiquing (feel free to use the WiP board or each other as well). Since this is a volunteer-based project, please don't feel like you MUST have made progress between updates. That is, if you have other things going on in your life that keep you from working on your music, that's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light_of_Aether Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 I've updated the timeline to be MUCH more realistic: teaser tracks on X-mas 2016 and the full album on Nov 17, 2017. I feel like a full release is easier to work on and complete than a rolling release schedule. How's everyone doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light_of_Aether Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm looking for a co-director who can help get things moving, because I clearly can't do it myself. Anyone interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnStacy Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I just found this project. What is the updated status just out of curiosity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light_of_Aether Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's in limbo right now, but I'd like to get it going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
