Diddy Kong Racing: Haunted Woods Remix Concept!

[Nanaki]

I've always imagined the Haunted Woods theme done in a more electronic/Industrial style, so this is a quick idea I came up with for a remix of it.

So here's a 40 second clip that I wrote just to get the basic idea down. This is just a concept piece, if someone listens to this and actually thinks it's a good concept, I'll sit down and really flesh it out into a real song. None of these instruments are finalized, there's a ton of reverb on the drums, haven't really done any eq or mastering yet... It's just a quick concept I came up with.

So let me know what you think of this idea!

the idea you're describing could definitely work but it isn't really conveyed here...i think this is too rough to really say.

Whoa, I totally forgot about this song.. It's a great idea. Unfortunately, I really hate all the obvious synth sounds. I want to hear some POWER, and be AMAZED..!

Also, think about transitions, and having parts bleed into each other.. This is awfully straightforward. The drum's kinda annoying. I like when it finally picks up at 0.24, but I'm sure you could figure out more of a chord progression that would be more exciting.

Yeah, the synths I used are just random ones I picked out of the reason soundbank, and the drums are...well, almost non-existant at this point.

I'm definitely working on some more powerful sounding instruments, and the drum track will be really fleshed out. Like I said, this is just a quick concept I thew together because I only had about 30 minutes before I had to go to work, but I didn't want to forget the idea I had. So I decided I'd post it up and see if anyone had any feedback just on this simple little clip.

Got my new Sennheiser Studio Headphones and gonna work on this for a few hours and post up something a little bit more polished.

The concept may be cool, but from this sample I could not understand so much the original theme. According to me...

I like it so far. It feels like a build up at this point. A good one though. Let's hear what it's building up to!
