ReMix:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess "The Torment of a Twili" 4:02

Newcomer Sentient Pulse (Brett D'Agostini) debuts on OCR with a pretty chill (for dubstep!) arrangement of Twilight Princess that starts mellower & builds from there:

"I am submitting my melodic dubstep remix of "Midna's Lament" from Twilight Princess. I have named it "The Torment of a Twili." Thank you for your time! Enjoy!"

Definite emphasis on melody, and while staple dubstep elements are present & accounted for, they're more interested in augmenting and supporting the lead than being rude or abrasive highlights. Some really nice filtering & layering work going on here, with intricate modulations that give the distant, simple piano motif an organic, swimming accompaniment. Liontamer writes:

"I was worried about the opening being so similar in instrumentation and tone to the original song, but it differentiates itself a lot once things kick in, as the others said. Loved the section using the more chippy elements the most, first isolated at 2:16. Later, at 3:16, I thought the opportunity was there for a more pronounced dynamic shift for the finish, but the wind-down at 3:44 worked nicely to mirror the close with the opening. Nice work, Brett! Short and sweet, count it."

Sir_NutS adds:

"Pretty good, dark and mysterious atmosphere. Production is solid, and the interpretation is there even if it sticks fairly close to the original. I would've liked to hear more variation on the dubstep bass parts, as it feels like small sections such as the pitched-down, off-beat filtered bass parts were reused one too many times. But the mix is big, and not too long to overstay its welcome."

While I agree that perhaps a bit more variation or even an original solo part could have been nice additions, I definitely found myself getting lost in this arrangement (in a good way) - the flow is strong, melody is front and center, dubstep bits are neat & dial things in just enough so that it's still a pretty chill ride, but with some fun twists & turns. Another great debut from another new artist - I enjoyed it, I feel like a lot of people (even folks not that into dubstep) will dig it, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from Brett!
