Liontamer Posted September 21, 2024 Posted September 21, 2024 Hello, dont know if this previous mail was opened yet, but im submitting another song. First song was Apr 11, so i should be good considering its 3 sept now haha :') Here is my new remix: -Remixer Name: B-laze (aka Fungist) -Real name: Kenneth Nordsveen -Email address: -Userid: 29885 Submission Information -Name of game(s) arranged: Banjo Kazooie -Name of arrangement Fungist - Witchcraft -Name of individual song(s) arranged Gruntildas lair -Additional information about game including composer, system, etc. (if it has not yet been added to the site) Grant Kirkhope -Link to the original soundtrack (if it is not one of the sound archives already available on the site) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO78gtoZDF4 -Your own comments about the mix, for example the inspiration behind it, how it was made, etc. This is my latest addition to my "huge" videogame music collection. And of course, again it's one of Kirkhope's masterpieces. i'm sure this is a nostalgia thing... This melody stick with me since the day banjo kazooie was released, and i mean that is a very long time ago. I think i first remixed this track in 2007 in a "Dance/Handsup" style. Now redone here, in a very unique dubstep/electro style that ends up as Happy hardcore at the end. I wanted some power/loudness in this track and with all the samples used, i had to do some "cheating" with the mix, but hope it turned alright. again, because of copyright stuff, the track i have on my spotify will be without FX from the game, but OCRemix will have theese added for extra "OC" :') Sending Mp3 along with a high quality wav file. Kenneth
Liontamer Posted September 23, 2024 Author Posted September 23, 2024 Ha! This is pretty chipper to start. Big volume per B-laze's usual, so that may put some folks off, but things are fine to me. Pretty intense at :46, this is a cool approach. Love the warbling, chippy sounds in the foreground from 1:14-1:25. The stutters from 1:28-1:42 were a good variation on the chorus, then the soundscape opened WAY up, which was cool. Alright, the rhythm and tempo changed at 2:11, then went more intense at 2:25, just tons of creative arrangement ideas to never stop developing this, even towards the very end. It's like Banjo-Kazooie meets DDR in some ways. :-) YES
prophetik music Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 BK's soundtrack is so charismatic. this track has that vibe right off the bat between the sfx and the goofy wobble lead. having the track be in a triple meter initially helps a ton to keep it swinging forward. there's a great build vibe right at 0:32 that drives it forward well into the first big beat drop at 0:46. bass and beat sound super tight in this section, i loved it (especially the triplet combo of the laugh, bass, and lead at 1:02). also, did i hear kazooie lead synths!? this just keeps getting better as it goes along. there's a bit of a break at 1:16 in feel that builds into a much more heroic fanfare-type feel at 1:30 for a bit, before we get more kazooie lead, and a choir, and all sorts of other fun interim stuff for a true break. i like the transition at 2:15 as it speeds up and goes nuts just in time for a banger of an ending chorus at 2:26. this is a straight sausage waveform and it sounds awesome, especially with the fanfare section to end it. there's a bit of a weird cut in the fade that should probably be trimmed before we post it. i love this! what a fun track. it's hard to listen to it without smiling the entire way through. there's a ton of character in this remix - just like the game, very fitting - and yet simultaneously it's not just leaning on novelty and sfx to make it through, there's a dope arrangement under it. excellent work. YES
Hemophiliac Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 Silly fun, are two words that seemingly describe this perfectly. Jaunty and wacky, the sound palette fit Banjo-Kazooie and a big dancy and almost happy hardcore with a 4-on-the-floor feel. The changes happen at the perfect moments to prevent things from feeling repetitive or dull, such as at 1:15. It easily could've fell into the trap of over reliance on the sound effects to make things interesting, but I'm glad this doesn't rely on the sound effects to make transitions. They are for flavor instead! After ~2:20 things really pick up the energy and the ending brings everything together nicely. Great production, solid arrangement, nice work! YES
