Liontamer Posted May 22, 2024 Posted May 22, 2024 RebeccaETripp Rebecca Tripp https://www.youtube.com/@RebeccaETripp/videos ID: 48262 Game(s): BotW, SS, WW, LA Song Title: Fountain of Youth Songs Remixed: Mipha’s Theme (BotW), Lake Floria (SS), The Great Ocean (WW), Ballad of the Windfish (LA), The Windfish Awakens (LA) - note, I don’t know the actual name for this section, as it’s part of the ending, and doesn’t seem to have an official track unto itself! Waterside (BotW) Here’s a link: This is the third part of that water medley! Again, the oboe and english horn were performed by Medlix, the flute and piccolo by Gamer of the Winds, and the ocarina by Steven Higbee! Sorry for sending this right after the other one, I just wanted to show it for perspective (I’d asked a question pertaining to the length, and whether or not you guys think part 2 and 3 should be combined). I personally think it’s more interesting and fun to have the three parts with the symbolism I outlined, but I also wondered if you would find the ending of Part 2 too abrupt!
prophetik music Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 opens with some harp and water sfx. this is panned harder here than i'd expect - it's actually kind of hard to hear initially without turning it up farther than i'd expect. mipha's theme is nicely represented in the harp and percussion elements though, and the winds are as expected very well performed and do a nice job handing off the melodic elements. there's a nice little cadence at 1:12 and the track progresses through some more melodic noodling. there's a few weird sounds at 2:00 but that may be overlap from the reverb on chord changes. ocarina at 2:25 is just so well-played and recorded. most of the section immediately following it is a blur though - there's not a lot that you can really hear distinctly outside a few washes of sound. windfish is at 3:22, primarily in the ocarina, which is a bit pitchy here as it's so low. there's some sfx that's the windfish itself, if i'm not mistaken, and some setpiece noodles for about 45s through here. we do eventually get waterside at around 4:29, and the transition into that is well-handled. there's a few more washes of color and then some sfx to end it. as with all RET tracks, this demonstrates competency in using the tools she has available, the arrangement is solid, it's quiet and slow, and doesn't demonstrate a ton of dynamics or variance in style. this is above the bar for sure. YES
Chimpazilla Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 Very lovely Mipha opening! I'm not a huge fan of such hard panning, the opening harp is heavily panned left, but when the rest of the instrumentation arrives the soundscape balances out. As a medley, this arrangement is very cohesive, and flows well (see what I did there?). All themes are easily recognizable. Lovely water and seascape sfx. Beautifully instrumented, as usual. The ocarina is very well performed as Brad pointed out. Nice work. YES
Emunator Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 Delightful! It's a medley of all the things that I love most about Rebecca's arrangements - delicate rearrangement and fusion of themes, a cohesive soundscape, and a cast of supporting instrumentalists that fills in the gaps where her programmed orchestra has historically fallen a bit short of realism standards. This whole suite of tracks is transcendent and beautiful, definitely one of the easiest RET submissions I've judged in a minute :) YES

I enjoyed. :-)
