prophetik music Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) would need a new title if passed Magna Romagna, the brainchild of Simone Gennari ("Genna") and Davide Genchi ("Enki"), is an Italian electronic dance music duo with deep roots in the Italo Disco and Italodance traditions of Emilia Romagna. The duo first connected on Gigi D'Agostino's fan forum, bonding over their shared love for electronic music. In 2004, they officially formed Magna Romagna, named after the region that inspired their sound and memories. Their music is heavily influenced by the iconic Gigi D'Agostino, with whom they've shared tracks that received widespread praise. Magna Romagna's sound captures the essence of the 80s and 90s Italian dance scene, especially the vibrant nightlife of Rimini. The duo also produces under the name "Moto Remoto" for their harder Slowstyle tracks and have launched a label under the same name. While they’ve slowed down in recent years, Magna Romagna continues to create music, with more EPs planned for release soon. Their first official release is a testament to their enduring passion for the genre that brought them together. Games & Sources Original theme by Jean-François Freitas. Another World (also known as Out of This World), is an iconic cinematic platform game created by Eric Chahi and released in 1991. Originally released on platforms like the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS, Another World took players on an unforgettable journey with Lester Knight Chaykin, a young physicist who finds himself in a mysterious alien world after a lab experiment goes wrong. The game is celebrated for its unique art style, innovative gameplay, and emotional storytelling, which have influenced countless games since its release.

prophetik music Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 (edited) opens with broad pads, some plucks, and the melodic material carried first by a synth and then a nice bell tone that fades in alongside a synth. the beat drops at 0:34. it's pretty boomy here, and the kick doesn't have much beef to it. it trucks through the melodic material in order in roughly the same tempo, the synths don't change much, there's no real arrangement besides the genre adaptation, and there's no ending, just a static buzz. this is unfortunately not enough arrangement for what we normally accept at this site. this is a cover - which is fine, there's a huge market on YouTube for this kind of thing! - but it doesn't fulfill our standards for arrangement depth or breadth unfortunately. i'd expect to hear more adaptation of the melodic or harmonic material, chord changes, added solos or extra content, etc. before i'd consider this arrangement. it's also pretty short and it's hard to have transformative writing in that amount of time! please review our submission standards, particularly the arrangement section, before submitting again. thanks for sending this in! we hope you want to submit again in the future =) NO Edited November 8 by prophetik music forgot to put in an actual vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Opens up with a bright energy, so it's seeming like a decent genre cover to start. Textures start to thicken around :20, then the bass comes in at 33 and it's adding a somewhat indistinct rumble. The textures and part-writing are feeling pretty vanilla, very by the numbers. At only 2 minutes, this needed to be more dynamic and developed. Ending was super flat as well. Not poor musicianship, but in terms of the approach, too basic and plodding. Would love to hear what additional ideas could be added to put more personality into it; the potential is there, and it's such an underrated source tune.

Hemophiliac Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 While this is a fun and peppy throwback track, as this sounds like something you'd hear from the early 2000s. However, it's very much a cover with a genre adaption. We're looking more for Magna Romagna's flavors and spices applied to it. Genre adaption is a start at doing this, but you would need to do more than just that. It could be melodic interpretation, adding original sections, or changing the time signature. Those are just a few suggestions, and certainly doesn't cover all possibilities. What you've got here isn't bad at all, just not what we're looking for in a passing arrangement. If you need assistance with those ideas or how to interpret the source more, I recommend utilizing the workshop on the forums to get feedback or join the Discord and do the same in the #workshop channel there. Again, this isn't a bad start at all; the potential is there. It just needs more of your own development and interpretation of the source.
