djpretzel Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Good, but VERY short... arguably underdeveloped, but it does feel substantive... - djp --- Remixer name: Christopher NiskalaReal name: Christopher NiskalaUser: 54580email: website: http://www.soundcloud.com/creativenoiseproductionsyoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYwa9KLm4d2aIJfZckXBD-A The track is called "Brinstar Swing" Comments on the track:What if Samus Aran was an accomplished Jazz pianist in her free time? It might sound something like this. I can't remember what exactly inspired me to go with jazz but I was working on my orchestrated medley from Metroid when I came up with it. It started with the bass/piano part that you hear in the beginning. I thought it had such a cool vibe to it and should definitely turn it into a full piece. Once I started getting more pieces together I realized this has a Dave Brubeck sound to it. I immediately started thinking of how to make an album cover that fused Dave Brubeck's Time Out album artwork and the metroid characters. Luckily I have a very talented artist for a sister and she made it a reality.

Emunator Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 There's something really cool about this approach, it's clear that you put a lot of effort into this (the artwork on the Youtube video is neat!) I think you nailed the production and genre-conversion element of this... the duration of the track is the only issue I have, but unfortunately it's a dealbreaker in my book - 1 and a half minutes really isn't enough time to develop a substantial arrangement per OC ReMix standards. I'd love to hear this arrangement more fleshed out - what you've got here is excellent but I just don't think there's enough of it. NO (resubmit!)

Chimpazilla Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah this is really great but it feels like half a song. What I'd love to hear next is a soft breakdown with very minimal drums (or at least a very different groove), then a buildup and back to another verse/chorus then outro. The piano and bass here are top notch. Just needs more material to be an OC ReMix. NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Freakin awesome take on the original. Great tones. I enjoy the genre choice, the performance of the various parts, and the production makes everything feel it's in the same physical space. I can't really fault anything here except for the duration, which has already been raised by everyone else. Don't do this to us - as heart breaking as it is, a slightly more extensive arrangement is needed for OCR. Get back to us with this and you're gold.
