The Instrumental Light Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 this is pretty good, its very calm, but it seems a bit bland. other than that, great job! P.S. ive seen and listened to your works before you joined ocr, i cant remember if it was 3 or 4 years ago. if im correct, didnt you make that lufia hardcore mix?

CHz Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Man, like two thousand new Touhou arranges come out every second in Japan, but covers by Westerners have been conspicuously absent. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because 99% of the songs sound exactly the same. This remix is really good, though. Gave the song actual depth. Short but sweet.

avaris Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 This fuckin rocks dude. Reminds me of a song from House of Flying Daggers called lovers. Around 1:08 reminds of the climax to the Evangelion opening song. It may be short but it gets it's point across...Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 BEAUTIFUL. ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I don't know if there's any other way to convey how I feel about this one. My only gripe is the length, but other than that, it's stunningly great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyobi Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I never would've thought I'd see a Touhou remix on OCR. Good work, but man, I sure with it was longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiowar Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 i don't get the criticisms that there is not enough rearrangement here. this is very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLiterate Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Oh god Touhou is epic, this is epic, NICE mix, flawless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
227 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It's beautiful as has been said already, but it seems to hit a few notes slightly flat during the beginning. Also, around 1:00 all the tremolo gets to be a bit distracting. Those things aside, it's very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm thinking "doujin soft" would be a more accurate term than "doujinshi" here. Nice arrangement here nonetheless. A big upgrade from the tinny GM sound I'm used to associating with the Touhou games. Clocks in a bit on the short side though...a little more expansion would be preferred next time.

atmuh Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 wowza i havent played this bad boy in a while saw that screen on the front page and was like woah its that game that game is HARD so impressed greatly right off the bat that its this crazy awesome shump game but the remicks is pretty nice as well, not really my style but good enough for me to recognize it and nice nice nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abadoss Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Unfortunately, I know very little about that game other than an internet video I saw a while back. However, the one thing that really sticks out about this mix is your proficiency on the violin. Your tone is quite excellent. And while I am a composer and thus don't wish to have to pay too much money for things, I seriously hope that you charge a decent amount for gigs. I'm very much hoping that you continue to remix and submit here at OCR. I look forward to hearing what else you come up with. Also, if there'd ever be a chance, I would love to have you record some of my music (but I don't think I could financially afford it).

Arek the Absolute Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 sure it is pretty and all, but i had to double take when i saw the length man, this is as short as bus from the earthbound remix section both need to be LOOOOONGERRRRRRRRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 This fuckin rocks dude. Reminds me of a song from House of Flying Daggers called lovers. Around 1:08 reminds of the climax to the Evangelion opening song. It may be short but it gets it's point across...Beautiful. I knew it! I was trying to think what film I remember that bit of melody from. I knew it was something like that. I was thinking Hero or Mulan even, lols. This is just great playing. Obviously, could be longer, but it's rare we get violin work anywhere near this good, so it doesn't bother me that much. I'd rather listen to 2 minutes of superb strings then 4 minutes of average ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Mage Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Wow, this is certainly one of the more beautiful pieces in OCR. I love the more intimate chamber music style, I hope to see more music in this style in the future! It is a bit on the short side, which makes me a little sad when the two minutes are up. Though a sweet two minutes they are. I hope to hear more from you Justus (is that pronounced "just-us" or like "you-stus," like on Courage the Cowardly Dog?).

arias Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Extremely impressive violin work. Gorgeous. More in the future, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillan Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 This is great. The arrangement and intonation are as good as you can expect from a piece constructed under such conditions. I've been waiting for years for something like this to pop up. It is impossible to make chamber music sound very good with samples or amateur musicians, which is why this community hasn't seen any (I think?) before now. The lack of a lower range sounded strange to me at first, but I think that your arrangement has dealt with this well. I really hope you submit more to OCR, because this is sweet and there are only a few (such as po!) violinists around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Dude.... nice. Certainly wasn't expecting to visit OCR and see your name pop up. Pleasant surprise, glad to know you're still doing stuffs . Sounds great. Can't say I know anything about the game, or very much about the targetted stylistic approach (other than the obvious), but I like the playing.

Citan Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Man, this piece is absolutely beautiful... I can't seem to get it off loop. I rarely see things like this on OCR... Especially not at this level. I guess I can see why people think it's too short, but for the most part I think it's just right. moar liek this plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underthesun Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Absolutely beautiful. I just came home, 4am at night, tired from all this work, and downloaded this song. When it starts playing, I saw the news on the shootings at virginia tech. Somehow this feels extremely surreal. Too good of a piece..

Zophar (insert new name) Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I agree with underthesun. This piece does take the sting out of the Virginia Tech shooting a bit, as it has the song has slight resemblence the action is muted out and the music is playing just like in a drama film. The lenght of the song does not matter, as is it a beautiful peice that belongs with OCR and on my playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrono26 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 this is incredible man. i have no clue what the source tune is but this is all kinds of awesome. reminds me a little bit of James Newton Howard's theme from 'The village'. but maybe its just the violins. thanks for makin this one!
