[Recruiting] - Moon/Space Album (Title TBD)

[TSori]

 Announcing a Moon/Space ReMix Album!

The moon landings of the Apollo Program in the 1960s and 70s thrust space flight into the public imagination in a way never before seen, inspiring tv shows, movies, games, toys, books, AND a nascent video game industry. 

The silicon chips invented for the program would go on to power the first home computers, and the apollo command module's fly-by-wire 'picklestick' control, would evolve into the near-ubiquitous arcade joystick just a few years later.

Early game developers were inspired by the imagery and challenges of the space program, introducing games like "Lunar Lander" and "Asteroids".  Over 50 years later, that inspiration continues, from Ducktales to Destiny, and Mass effect to Mario.

So, as NASA prepares to return astronauts to lunar orbit with Artemis II in early 2026, I wanted to take this time to launch a VGM tribute to the moon missions, manned spaceflight and their continuing impact on video games.

The Album

This will be a small, quick turn album, which we will try to get released on OCR to coincide with the launch of Artemis II

**The Theme/Tracks**
No specific tracks are planned.  ReMixers are free to choose any source they want provided it fits any one of the following three categories:

1.  The source is from a moon level/area   i.e. Ducktales-The Moon
2.  The source is specific to space travel
3. The source references the moon i.e. Golden Sun TLA -Full Moon in Garoh or Majora's Mask-Final Hours

Let's try to steer clear of any vgm that's specifically "alien" or alien planet areas.

If you have an idea you think fits the album but maybe not the categories above, run it by me and I'll do my best to be accommodating!

 

Claiming Tracks

Claims are first come, first serve.   Each claim needs to be unique (no duplicate tracks).  We're aiming for a single disk album -say 12-15 tracks to keep the schedule manageable.  If we have more interested participants than that we'll see what can be done

Please DM me with claims, post them below, or joins us on discord !

Collaborations are highly encouraged!

Schedule/Deadlines
Artemis II is currently scheduled to launch sometime between February and April of 2026.    That means if we want to be sure we make that date we probably need everything finished in early January.....

On the downside...that's a very quick turn
On the upside....so was Apollo!

Current Claims

1. Halo Reach - "Broken Bonds" - Gravity Gauntlet

If you are interested in making a claim, or helping out in any of the capacities above feel free to post or DM me!

*note, due to the short timeline, it is preferred that remixers have a demonstrated history of meeting deadlines and that mastering be taken by someone who has done it for a previous OCR project.

 

with that said, We are GO for Launch!

(all puns intended)

I'll master it. And claim a track. Need to find one first.
