MIDI covers of game songs (maybe some other stuff)
« on: April 15, 2012, 11:48:06 PM »
Got back into making music.  And by making, I mean covering. 

List of stuff:

It's fine, but it's not really... anything so far, you know?  :lol

Once the piece is finished, we'll be able to weigh in in detail.

I like the odd rhythms and counterpoint harmonies in Class Cavern. I look forward to hearing it as it reaches closer to being a full piece.

Does the stage name "Joshua Filth" sound pretentious?

I appreciate the positive feedback, man.  Don't be expecting musics on a regular basis or anything.  My work ethic is laid-back by DTF standards.   :P

Lol, shake, I've been working on an album with a friend for most of the last three years. We only currently have one fully recorded thing (but still only a rough mix) and recently agreed on the structure of one thing that we've been playing with for the last two of those years.

Oh, and most of the stuff we have doesn't have words yet, because we're crap at them. You're currently being more productive than us (now, if only I could get hold of that damn Pipa player for once).

I'd never thought about it as James Bond-ish, although that makes sense given the chromatic horn lines.

Sounds like an interesting take you've got going there, although I have a couple of comments. The arpeggios in the background throughout sound off. I'm not sure if it's the intonation of the instrument, or your note choice, but it doesn't sound like it's landing back on the high root note (the A). And the intonation also sounds a bit off once the organ comes in near the end.
But the basic idea is cool, so keep at it.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I think it's definitely the intonation on the arps that makes them sound flat. And the instrument for those chords that come in at 0:12 sounds really flat to my ears too.
I really like what you're doing with the arrangement, but I think some of those instruments aren't quite up to the level of quality.

Really? I've only given a couple of vague comments. :lol

Sounding better now. The intonation doesn't bother me. For some reason the rhythm in the intro is throwing me off though. At 0:19 it switches in my mind. Is that intentional or am I interpreting the beat wrong in the intro? Not saying to change anything, I'm just wondering where that mental block is coming from.

At the moment it's a total blue ball leading up to the big second half of the original track, especially after the big buildup ending at 0:32. :lol Hopefully it will get to that later on in your remix, because it's my favourite part of the song, and I've had the music stuck in my head all day thanks to you! I really like the beat of it so far. Maybe fatten up your bass drum and synth bass? Not sure how much you can do, but I feel like these remixes are supposed to have some doof doof to them.

A: The weirdness at the beginning is because I have the "snare" hits mostly on the ands of 1 and 3 with very few on 2 or 4.  If it kind of screws with listeners, that's all the better to get things off to an unsettling start, I suppose.   :lol

B(lue ball): Yeah, I probably ought to throw the second half/chorus part in very soon.  I mean, I could have it so the remix is just the first half of the song with a bunch of random crap added onto it, but I know you Sonic fans.  You want the second half.  And I'm just about kind enough to want to give it to you. 

I mean, you're only my most effective musical critic; I practically owe it to you!   :tup

Class Cavern reminds me of the Ice Caves in Zelda.

Got into a musical mood.  Did a MIDI cover of Flame Stag's song from Mega Man X2.  It's not too different from the original, but the choice of instruments and the string chords change the vibe.
