Devyn Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think that this has been a question unanswered for a long time. Remember, this is assuming that you haven't done a mix or are currently incapable of doing so. This is strictly in the area of video games, just to eliminate confusion. What style(s) would you use? Would you choose electronica, reggae, etc.? Anyway, I would "rearrange" something from Fantasy Zone or Legacy of the Wizard - two game scores that I feel are under-appreciated. (Electric Concerto tried to do a remix project for Legacy of the Wizard, and I commend him for that.) Yes, but any mix I end up doing will be somewhere in the vein of rock, and definitely be a vocal rock mix - but really eclectic as well. Maybe some acoustic parts and an instrumental breakdown or two. They wouldn't stray too far from the original material. I think Fantasy Zone would work well with a reggae/rock style. So yeah, I've got 200 bucks set aside, and I know a good studio. If I ever do this, I promise that it will be so good that it will be difficult for anyone to turn down. So, how about you? Go ahead and talk your smack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealFolkBlues Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I've thought a bit about this, and have some ideas as to some mixes I wouldn't mind doing. I've even started work on some, but for some reason or another, never finished one. I love piano arrangements, and so many a theme done with piano would appeal to me. I can play to a small degree, and my brother is a classically-trained pianist, so this isn't out of the question. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind messing around with house, happy, or ambient techno styles, and if I had the talent, there would be metal. And how. As for specific ideas, I've had a few, but mainly I would love to do a jazz piano rendition of Protoman's theme, perhaps even incorporating the Cowboy Bebop theme song. I don't think I should have to explain why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 No, I don't think you'd have to explain. They sound very similar. Well, at least they both have a old western feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealFolkBlues Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Um, yeah, this is true, to an extent. I was more referring to the pun on Protoman's original name (Blues.) Thus my own alias and sig motifs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I would do an arrangement of both the bonus stage from Cool Spot and Shade Man's stage from Mega Man 7 (together in one song). Listen to them both; I think it works as sorta am electronica style thingamabob. one of these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Shadow Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 i am slowly, ever so slowly, teaching myself how to make music via the creation of a knuckles chaotix remix particularly of the bonus stage music "tachy touch" be on the lookout for it in a couple of years, perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyonr1 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Heh, if I had the equipment I'd like to try Xenon from DDR Max 2 and Vampire killer. I've always throught they'd work well together, despite being from drastically different games. Too bad NoppZ beat me to it, it wouldn't be QUITE as novel, but still would be pretty friggin weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I desperately want to do a mix of 'The Shaping of the World' from the Warcraft OST, in sort of a Metallica S&M style: orchestra meets metal. I also wanna do a straight up balls to the wall remix of the theme to Metroid Prime 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 oh yeah and pretty much everything from Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia. I wrote a whole Dark Space remix in my head WHY CAN'T I DO IT???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Instrumental Light Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 um, ive been trying to create mixes but i have a long way to go before i get something posted. there are so many songs i would like to mix, but as for what i would like to mix the most is probably "Megaman X5 X vs Zero" or the Megaman X5 Opening.

Raziellink Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'd totally remix the song from the 9th stage from Super Castlevania. You know, the one in Dracula's treasure vault with all the gold? I'm actually surprised nobody has done it yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 oh yeah and pretty much everything from Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia. I wrote a whole Dark Space remix in my head WHY CAN'T I DO IT???? I know how you feel. I had a really cool idea for a Dark Space mix, with about 3x speed of the original. Sadly, I was unable to make this a reality, due to my lack of non-midi instruments and mastering knowledge. I should really go back and try it again.

OverCoat Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 does it ? Yeah that's how I got the idea. Love that spoof BTW I was gonna throw those polygons into the audience like normal bands do with inflatable balls, and maybe set a cube on fire.

Red Shadow Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 AND i just got an idea for an earthbound arrangement whose main instrument will be dental floss i need to pick up the pace on my learning schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoss Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 A remix of the song Parlor Tricks from Death Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Shadow Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 dental floss sounds a lot like a jaw harp if you do it right, by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire in the Hole Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I actually tried a while back to do a story-based/situational mix of Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger called "Knighting Sir Glenn," which was meant to be an orchestral rendition of the reception at Frog's fictional knighting after, you know, saving the world. It began following Frog on a walk through a bustling courtyard with a bubbling fountain, then entering the castle hall and being given a drum march, after which the trumpets kicked in followed by the rest of the band. It would have been cool if I weren't musically inept and completely ignorant of such concepts as keys at the time. I also had ideas to make a Schala/Magus megamix (another concept mix, at their final reunion in either dreams or death, with an appropriately ethereal feeling to it) and a Tyrano Lair mix, although that one was more a distant wish that I never fleshed out the ideas behind. I definitely liked to think up concept/themed mixes, though. They were most interesting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crescent Shadow Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I always wanted to hear a choir/orchestral of Grahf's theme from Xenogears... and maybe work in his famous line he uses when he gives someone power...always sounded like an awesome idea in my head ; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkinzez Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I so did this two years ago. SM64 credits, big band style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Rock-ish remix of the credits theme from Virtual Boy Wario Land. No joke. It's been totally written out in my head for awhile. Can't really work on it now though because I want to keep going on my album project. Also, I've had an idea bouncing around for a funk rendition of the Death Egg theme from S&K but it would be beyond my skills right now to actually make it. Weird that neither of these is the style I usually wind up making. Maybe I ought to think about that more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenthian Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'd do this. oh wait... ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pi_R_Squared Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Got them all up in my head, but I can't mix for the life of me... - Zora's Domain / Serenade of Water in a muzak, Chuck Mangione "Feels So Good" kind of way - Rock version of Waverace 64, and several of it's themes - Mariachi version of Katamari's main theme, if it hasn't been done already. I haven't checked out M+MK yet 'cause I don't have a psp, and haven't gotten the soundtrack. Can't sing either, and finding someone who could sing in spanish might help... They're not so bad ideas. I can only hope no one steals them. When I have more time, in the summer, most likely. Expect something from me, I promise that.

Crazyonr1 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 HA! I just thought of another one that I've really wanted to do, a solo piano arrangement of Katamari March Damacy... would sound SO awesome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
