Pieces
Competition:
Compotime
Created for a 1-hour
competition on IRC. The theme was to
make factory music, like something you might hear in an RPG.
I went with a Chrono Trigger style mix. It's not put together too
well, but we did only have an hour. I won by 1 vote over Suzumebachi.
Break Limit - TOMC6
Competition:
TOMC6
This weeks TOMC required the mixers to create
their own battle
piece for the heroes of a game to fight to. I chose to make a
decisive battle style mix in which you'd expect to be playing as
you make your way in and out of relatively fast battles on an escape,
the music keeps playing when you're in a battle and also on the
game field as you run around. Featuring War Drums, detuned organ,
piano chords, strings and a relatively punchy bassline.
Cat
Cat Cat Cat Cat
Originally intended to be an
entry into FLMC4, the piece was
disqualified due to my use of Sim Synth, which I'm told isn't a
default FL plugin. I decided not to enter rather than remove it
from my piece. Everything else adheres to the rules. The beats
were by Prophecy.
Epilularis
Phasmatis
Competition:
TOMC2
My entry into TOMC2, which
was a creepy jungle style theme.
I decided to go with absolute ambience, the kind of music that
would freak me out in a game. The people were after something
more melodic, so it didn't get too many votes, but I like the way
it turned out.
Flood
(Tool Cover)
This probably shouldn't be
up. But I like the way the clip sounded.
It's a short 35 second or so clip of me playing with my electric
guitar.
I was trying to play Tool's Flood (which is pretty easy) and it
sounded
good, so I put some strings and drums over it. Just for a bit of
fun,
nothing substantial.
Jayan Aura
Competition:
OVGMC3
Zircon of the OCReMix
forums decided to restart the OVGMC
competitions in which you're required to make an original mix
adhering to a certain theme, much lik e TOMC. This weeks theme
was an Enchanted forest. I decided to go with more of an
upbeat style piece, the kind one might expect on a tour through
an enchanted forest. Delayed piano is the basis of this piece with
acoustic bass, bells, acoustic guitar, strings and a crisp drumline
to keep it all flowing.
The title comes from the Indonesian island of Irian Jaya
Kriegsmarsch
This one is Damon's
lovechild. We were struggling for some battle
music in our IONCROSS: Total War mod for the German section, and
Damon ripped out this awesome battle theme. Unfortunately at the
time I was too pressed to actually do a decent effort of instrument
and
drum support. So I did this version a couple of years later for him.
All I did was the beats and the editing. All credit goes to Damon
for
how awesome this melody is.
Layed
Back (Seduction Mix)
Originally bar music for the
IONCROSS mod. I took out the drums
and added the rainforest ambience. Tweaked a few velocity levels and
added some strings. Voila! Relaxing ambience piece. Melody is based
on Tool's "H.", and I'm aware that I spelled "Laid"
incorrectly in the title.
The spelling mistake is here to stay.
Liberty
Rock
Oh how I love how this one
turned out. Drumloops are my only poor
fortune over it. Based on the O' Liberty theme I made for the Texas
system in our IONCROSS mod, the melody just flowed together with
Damon's guitar to create this one. If you're wondering why it
finishes
so abruptly, it's because it's meant to loop. It's battle music for a
game.
Life
In Perth
There isn't anything to say
except that I was bored and this
represents Perth, the city I live in, and how boring it is.
Oasis Serenity 2025
I made this piece out of boredom. It's a fairly easy-going piece
of music.
I've used some powerful drum beats and RMX defaults
in this, and also used the
voice clips by pixietricks from OCR
which were originally intended for the Doom ReMix project.
Peaceful Moment
Competition:
TOMC4
My entry into TOMC4. I ended up coming
second by one point,
losing to Trenthian. It's a theme for an inn in an RPG. The
relaxing
music that plays in the background as you sit in the usually very
artistic bedrooms of the local inn.
Select
A Desination
This one was my
entry into TOMC10, a "take to the skies" theme.
I decided to go with the music one might expect when aboard an
airship with a list of destinations on a map screen laid out before
you. Carefree and atmospheric.
Slasherton
Youth Hostel
Competition:
TOMC13
This spooky mix was
birthed as an entry into TOMC13. I wanted
to get a scooby-doo meets Silent Hill kind of theme going. I think
I got the carnival and happy-evil sound down, and I like the way
the industrial effects solidified into a creepy beats pattern. It
didn't
win, but I'm happy with the way the mix turned out.
Spirit
& Opportunity
One of my earliest
mixes, and the birth of my interest in ambient
music. I pictured what it would be like for the two Mars Rovers to
be on Mars, and then made the music to suit the scary, and yet
serene/calm atmosphere.
Stuff
Like That (lawforkids.org remix)
lawforkids.org
is a horrible website aimed at teaching the law for
a picture US state to kids. The laws are so retarded that the cheap
comics and flash movies just come off as pathetically funny. This
is a result of myself and Iggy Koopa from IRC recording some of
the poor voice acting and creating a series of stupid songs out of them.
The
Diamond Mine
This mix is
another one of my ambient mixes that focuses more
on atmosphere than melody. Heavy toms and a deep, monotonous
bassline are meant to set up the impression of a dark, deep and
foreboding place.
