Xaleph Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Tetris Attack Album This was a great game I played with my wife when we first got married nearly 20 years ago. The original album project was set up at that time and I had accepted 3 songs. The original thread is still around and there was plenty of interest at that time. The songs I worked on I did a lot of it when I was sent to Louisiana for Hurricane Katrina relief (I built/maintained the supporting software for various gov't agencies, like power, rebuilding roofs, etc). It was here that I had a lot of time (no internet, very little power except through the RV as there were no hotels) and being alone at night I just wrote music (3 songs). In any case, I loved these songs and I wanted to put them towards the album - it was abandoned so I decided to start a new one. I'm looking for people interested and will ask to move this to the album thread if I get enough interest. I'm also thinking of possibly doing more puzzle game albums depending on how this one turns out. I plan on programming the website - though I may recruit some highschoolers/college students (friend's kids) looking for experience to add to their resume. Positions Recruiting: Remixers / Musicians Rules: Each song has a core instrument/style of play to represent the character and its critical/panic. It is encouraged to use this instrument in creative ways throughout the piece (or versions of it). For example, a prepared piano or different types of pianos within the piece. The instrument needs to be a main part of the song in some way shape or form as it is to be highlighted. If the song is "bass", just having a bass isn't enough - it needs to be celebrated. What is an example of critical/panic vs normal? Raphael the Raven (Lunar) stage and the panic/critical stage would both be a violin. The normal stage would be playful violin but the panic/critical would be a horror violin style. The actual genre of music could be anything as long as the normal stage has a positive vibe and the panic stage has an aggressive/panicked vibe. Panic can just be fast or a fast paced song/style/genre. It doesn't mean over the top aggressive. How do I know what instrument is to be highlighted? I'll clearly add a list of each instrument corresponding to each character/stage below - though this is currently in progress. What if I want to highlight a different instrument? If both Normal and Panic stages are not taken, you can request a certain instrument to be featured (if we think it's a good fit, we'll change it).

Xaleph Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 I'll be making updates to the main thread as I add instruments. If you're a remixer who takes a song, feel free to suggest an instrument for that stage if it's not already assigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wassup Thunder Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I'd love to join this project, Tetris Attack is a childhood favorite of mine. I'd happily start with Bumpity or Garganta Blargg if they're available, but will gladly take any other track that's up for grabs.

Souperion Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I'd like to join the project. I could take Lakitu's Stage. I don't have very good vocal samples, but I think that a woodwind focus could be thematic and fun to work with.

Xaleph Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 I put you both for the normal version of the stage mentioned by both - if you want the critical version of the song instead, let me know and I'll update it. I appreciate your contributions! Souperion and Wassup Thunder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaleph Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 I didn't forget about this project - I'm working through some other songs and will be pushing this a little more once I finish. Eino Keskitalo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaleph Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 DarkeSword just moved the post (Thank you!!) We had some others show interest - I do have the Lunar Panic mix mostly done, I'll be doing some touch-ups, fixing the ending and submitting it. I'll likely move a lot of the status updates to the projects/albums discord channel. Eino Keskitalo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dish Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Is there anyone doing the art? I'll be interested to contribute some art. I used to play Tetris Attack with my wife as well. Is there any requirement you have in mind, Xaleph? I'll be happy to discuss. I know I have not been around this forum for 10+ years, lol. I previously drew & painted the art for "Sound of Speed" (Sonic 1 album). You can also check out my works on my website: https://www.dennyiskart.com/ Xaleph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a few items we need, I can talk to the others to see what was required. I know for sure we’d need an album cover and a logo. I have a concert for my son tonight but I’ll be in discord later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
