Took an opportunity to make something slower, calmer, and more pensive, something that'd fit the mood of gazing out at the horizon.

I interpreted my remix as the result of giving mercy to a little froggit, who then goes on a journey of self discovery with the life you spared him. And he ends up hopping into Secret of Mana for a little bit, because Distant Thunder from SoM kept playing in my mind as I worked with it.

FL Studio crashed on me, but I still got this pseudo eurobeat styled thing in! Also, I am going to start titling all of my entries with the express purpose of hearing Chorus try and pronounce them.

Orchestral rock sounds like fire to me. Hopefully the mixing and levels isn't a HOT mess!!!!

Dunno why, I started thinking about dwarves digging…

Tried to take the Lufia 2 source for a dramatic rock-orchestra trip. Didn't get the mixing down as well as I'd like, but some parts made me happy. I tried to find a way to mix Technopera into this, but couldn't quite get it to fit, sorry. 

Abusing eurobeat samples to try and make a wolf song? Only on OHC!

DINOSAUUUURS.

I never played Chrono Cross and know next to nothing about it… But my instrumentation choices made the song have a slightly beach-side vibe. And I hear that Chrono from Chrono Trigger can appear in the game… So this happened. And against my better judgement, I tried using electric guitar samples.

Was thinking of something discovered on another world: foreign, beautiful, yet almost eerie.

An orchestra inspired remix, inspired by Secret of Mana's Protagonist, who lost all the world he knew to accept a mantle thrust upon him by a desperate world.

The pictures reminded me of ice castles, so I tried to balance a kinda grand and imposing tune against a cold loneliness, like some princess wanting to leave her icy palace. Running outta ideas on how to compose icy themed songs XD

Tried some orchestral elements, shifting between forlorn cold and rushing avalanches. 

The pictures reminded me of my first OHC entry which was a picture of flowers and sprouts. So I took some of the melodies from that composition and remixed them with a frosty mood.

Mainly drew from source one (The space picture.) Tried to capture the cold, drifting shards and the intensity of the big ol planet. Got way too caught up on making arpeggios, haha.

Gandrayda's battle theme from Metroid Prime 3, I always found this song to be creepily elegant and threatening. So I tried for something sorta delicate with twisted synths and driving rhythm to reflect the corruption of the shapeshifter.

"Humpsy Bumpsy plains on the wall,

Humpsy Bumpsy plains had a great fall

And all the King's koopas and all the King's Plumbers

Couldn't make Bowser a better jumper."

…. Not the best nursery rhyme parody. So enjoy the song instead! Don't vote for the bonus entry.

I saw koi fish and thought of japanese instruments, so I used some samples of shakahuchi, shamisen, and koto to set something of an oriental mood. Also tried working in ¾ time, which is not my usual time signature. Good learning experience. My mental imagery was the flickering colors of koi darting about under the shadows of lilypads.

Wanted to get a sound like something from Jurassic Park or maybe Monster Hunter was after you in a primeval battle to the death. But also wanted to use my new jaw harp samples. My runner up title was Adventursaurus Rex.

For inspiration, I drew on Tetris Attack's Japan version (Panel de Pon) in which this song was used for the final boss. I decided to forgo the original's organ heavy composition and try more orchestral elements instead. It was fun to make.

My first time entering a compoverse. I aimed to make an atmospheric sound filled with danger and apprehension, tiptoeing through a dungeon. And I got a didgeridoo sample, so I threw that in for fun.
