Entries (13)
K, so since this is Rexy's last, I felt compelled to actually finish my PRC entry this time. This makes twice. Except this time it's a full almost 3 minute track. It's a simple, laid-back arrangement of the source and kind of has a radio theme to it. Enjoy!
this bossa nova-ish style is apt enough that it wouldn't surprise me if a remix like this already existed...
Had no ideas for the source until yesterday afternoon, so major rush to get this done! I'm happy with how things turned out, and it looks like I'm just in time. Hope you guys enjoy.
Thanks for all your work running the PRC, Rexy. I honestly feel like it was a major catalyst in my development as a musician.
An emotion-filled farewell to our beloved host, Rexy! It seems like a rather fitting source.
A brief guitar duet which both takes liberties and remains fairly faitful to the source, I think. Not that I could tell at this point!
The game's soundtrack is great. It, and the game itself are pretty important parts of my personal gaming history. (Although I had a crush on Rydia, not Rosa. Hehe) If I recall correctly, the way this theme kicks in during dramatic and emotional points of the dialogue between Cecil and Rosa is pretty neat.
Mixed and mastered with Pleiade.
Thanks and cheers to Rexy for hosting this competition!
I decided to do this for Brass Choir.
Trumpets, Solo Flugelhorn, Horns, Trombones, Euphoniums, Tubas, and Percussion.
Libraries:
EWQL Gold Pro XP (Section Brass)
Garritan Jazz and Big Band (Flugel, Solo Trombone)
Garritan Concert and Marching Band (Euphoniums)
VSL Kontakt Library (Legato Horns)
Virtual Drumline 2 (Percussion)
Who says Garritan and EastWest can't coexist?
Sequencer/Sampler: Cubase SL 3/Kontakt 2
The piece opens with Flugel, Timpani, and Vibe, the Flugelhorn represents a lonely girl, who starts to dream about her perfect boy, represented by a solo Trombone.
As they fall deeper in love, the piece takes on a more jazzy style.
Suddenly, she is awaken, and her dream fades into oblivion.
Sadly, I ran out of time on this piece and was not able to complete my vision for it. English Papers due the same week tend to cause that.
Moments before dying, a damaged circuit board becomes sentient and understands the meaning of love.
Hello,
Here's another entry. It's in my usual style (not the winning style). I wanted to keep it around 3:00 but I failed terribly. I hope someone will like it.
Rexy, thanks a lot for everything and I hope to keep this on the same level.
Hello! A friend of mine asked me to join this compo. I don't usually listen to game music. This is an epic trance mix of the song and i haven't used the midi file.
A hiphop remix I made; didn't have as much time making it as I would've liked this round either, and I guess it lacks a great deal of interpretation, but hopefully you'll enjoy it nonetheless =)
Melodic trance. Needs much more love, but the time was slipping me by :(
Cecil had been told that searing across the desert on a noble steed in quest of the one you love is one of the most heroic acts ever. He found the effect to be less so when the noble steed in question was, in simple terms, a giant yellow chicken.
Tellah had always hated chickens.
Hey everyone. I know it says on the rules not to submit something that was a previous work, but I couldn't resist. I tried to contact the host of this competition to make sure it was ok, but never heard back and the deadline is tomorrow. ***THEREFORE: IN ALL FAIRNESS, I AM DISQUALIFYING THIS ARRANGEMENT FROM THE COMPETITION!*** I just really wanted to share this with people and figured this was the place to do it! Unfortunately I had to compress the quality of the recording to make it fit 6 mb maximum. Regardless, this arrangement is a jazz ballad performed by a quintet (tenor sax, guitar, piano, bass, drums) and was recorded live at the Beat Niq Jazz and Social Club in Calgary, Alberta Canada (May 8th, 2008). The group is called The Runaway Five. Thanks for listening and I hope you like it! I think there is a video of us playing this live (he same recording) on YouTube somewhere if you're interested. I hope no one is upset that I posted this anyways!

[REXY'S NOTE: I honestly didn't receive your message at all. How this happened, I have no idea. Still, you mentioned it yourself that this was made months in advance so like you said it won't be accepted as a main entry. I'm happy to take it on as an alternate though, and I hope to hear more from The Runaway Five in the future. :)]
