The Nikanoru Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 One of the most intimidating tracks I ever fought a boss to was this track from Secret of Mana. I give you ... The Oracle by Hiroki Kikuta. Very experimental for its time; this is kind of Downward Spiral-ish, very industrial, mostly based on percussion and synth. A VERY challenging song to remix, for sure; however, very dark and creepy and COOL track to work with. Secret of Mana has been treated well here, but a gap remains for this track. Could someone please remix this track in all its awesomeness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaiyt Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Fun fact: that song is directly based on Kecak, the Balinese monkey chant. The rhythm is exactly the same, only faster, and the "kac" samples may have been taken from a real performance. I thought of remaking it once with a more classical feel and part of part of the percussion replaced with anvils. XD The Nikanoru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nikanoru Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Very cool piece of info, thank you. I've listened to Kecak a couple of times now, and although I'm not sure they took the 'kacs' from a real performance, you can definitely hear the roots to the rhythm and sound. If The Oracle was a monkey chant, those would be some damn evil monkeys. Anvils on classical? Wouldn't be my first choice - anvils make me think industrial sounds - but it would be an interesting soundscape. I'd be interested in hearing that.
