Oh looky here, Neo's done yet another electronica remix of a metal song.

Song name: Icarus Lives!
File type: YouTube -> mp3 (Mediafire)
Length: 3:12
Software used: Music 2000 (PS1)
Description:

Mathcore, Hardcore, I-don't-bloody-know-core. :P
A recreation of "Icarus Lives!" by progressive metal band Periphery. Found a Guitar Pro file of the song, exported it to MIDI, and the rest is history.

Most annoying thing about making this mix was those bloody triplet notes; just made it that little more frustrating (I even said "screw that" to one section, since it was asking me to do 1/48th notes, so I just did 1/16ths instead - I draw the line at 1/24th, sorry.).

Remix:


Original: (for comparison, so no-one can call me out on "accidentally" making certain sections go out of time :P)

When I saw the title, I could already tell there was a Sonic CD influence.

Listening to it, I can definitely hear the influence too. (though in my opinion, it sounds more like a Present theme if you ask me. :P) Manages to catch the vibe and the influence backs it up. Great work.

(can't remember which Sonic CD OST he's not heard - it's the one with You Can Do Anything, which I think is from the JAP soundtrack.)

Somehow, I really like the "MIDI"-feel that was used - wouldn't feel out of place in a video game. :)
And even though I haven't heard the original (donthurtmedonthurtme), I do know that the original is fairly slower - but still, in this version, it works. :)

Quote from: Wikipedia:4'33"4′33″ is a three-movement composition by American experimental composer John Cage (1912–1992). It was composed in 1952 for any instrument (or combination of instruments), and the score instructs the performer not to play the instrument during the entire duration of the piece throughout the three movements. Although commonly perceived as "four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence", the piece actually consists of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed. Over the years, 4′33″ became Cage's most famous and most controversial composition.
The sound recorded in the song is what was recorded from Music 2000
Admittedly I created it in jest, but the actual reason behind choosing this track is that there is currently a campaign here in the UK to get this piece as Christmas No.1 in the charts. :P (no seriously; ) It's in the Top 20 already [*ding*], but we won't know the final result until Saturday.

I'm feeling a little festive, so why not celebrate the season by covering John Cage's 1952 work, 4'33"?


(and if you know why I chose this song, then internets for you)

I'm with Knowlesy; the page'll refresh itself every few seconds.

Trying my hand at Dubstep after finding a tutorial on how to create the trademark "wobble" found in that genre.
Demos:
very rough initial demo
Demo 2 - bit more refined and added a little more.

Of course, being my chaotic self, there's the odd change in time-signature, but nothing too chaotic; I'm only veering off a little from the source material.
Oh yeah, that's right; it's a remix of a video game tune.. fairly well known tune, I'd hazard a guess (it's far from "obscure"..).

Song name: (Release) The Animal Inside
File type: mp3 (SoundCloud)
Length: 9:50 (as of 2010-10-18)
Software used: Logic Pro 8/9
Description:

Probably one of my most unconventional songs in progress. At least Clockwork was consistant in its time-signature, as odd-time as it is.

This one goes between 6/8, to 5/8, to 11/8, to 4/4, to 21/8, ending in a simply-why-the-hell-not 23/8. But it is mainly in 6/8, so at least there is some sense of consistency. :P

Even though this is Progressive Metal (I mean, you can practically smell the Dream Theater inspiration), there is an element of Trance in there as well, what with the synth patch.

There's a few bugs I'll be ironing out for the final version, as well as adding vocals (which I won't put through an autotune like I did with Clockwork and Our Special Place)

Oh, you want a link? ta daaa

Since I've started using SoundCloud as one of my music hubs (I can only upload 120 minutes of music on there, since I don't have a Premium account with them), I'd personally find it easier to have SoundCloud's player embedded into my post itself, rather than posting a link to an outside page (much like what the forum does with YouTube videos)

I've had a look through SMF's community forums and found this thread where someone's coded the BBCode for SoundCloud's player for SMF 2.x and 1.x.

Just figured I'd throw this suggestion there. :)

Forgive me if this sounds crazy, but.. even though it's for a fighting game (as you've pointed out), I'm getting a real Sonic the Hedgehog vibe from this. Specifically, Sonic Robo Blast 2.

I'll sort of agree with Koolassjoe a little and say the scratch does feel a little out of place somehow. :-/

Other than that, good job. :)

--> LISTEN HERE <--

Figured I'd try my hand at a new genre.
Admittedly, Renard is a heavy influence behind this track; go listen to his album Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and you'll notice a resemblence. :P

As of this version (2010-09-19), I've only just started. But, I'd like to see what people's thoughts on it are so far. Any sort of feedback is greatly appreaciated. :)

Sample it.
Do it; deadmau5 once and then .
Hell, in the realm of music, Anything can be sampled.

If Rob likes bass then he'll like ERROR: FILE_CORRUPT... I forgot to turn down the sub, so those who don't just have two PC speakers will probably just hear WW-WW WW WW WWWWW throughout. :P

...BBBBEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR

tl;dr, Justin Bieber slowed down 800%.
It sounds bloody awesome.

You know what this track reminds me of? Sonic Adventure 2's Cannon's Core ver.3 - as soon as got to around 2:00, that just sealed it. :)

The way I've got the really "grungy" sound on Unjustified Infiltration is from a mixture of Choral and Alternate, each of them panned 50% into each speaker. Set default reverb on them, turn the riff volume down to about 060 and you get some real dirty sounds at Octave 4-5, but a nice clean sound at Octave 6. Also I used fifth chords a few times as well.

Song name: Unjustified Infiltration
File type: mp3 (MediaFire)
Length: 5:36
Software used: Music 2000 (PS1)
Description:

Since I've got two months of no college, It's an excuse to fire up Music 2000 until September.

This track is part of a little project I want to try and finish by then; create a "soundtrack" to a fictional game. There is no game that this song is a part of, but I want to give the tracks in this release a "video game feel". I blame Renard and his Shark Attack release. :P

I'll most likely add more to this track in the final version (needs a few strings here and there in my opinion), but it's pretty good for the time being. :)

I didn't choose a Major- or Minor key this time; for a change, I decided to use the Dorian mode, in the key of D (so D Dorian). I've grown to like Dorian over Minor.. it feels a lot easier to use. I'm hoping to use all the other modes in this "album", if you can call it that. (Locrian mode's going to be fuuuuun ^^)

Oh, and one more thing. It's not in 4/4, rather a constant 5/4. :D So it's not too crazy, but it was definitely a challenge in places. (well, not entirely constant; the drum solo about half-way through is two bars of 4/4)

Use the Music 2000 logo instead of the MTV Music Generator 1 logo? They are technically the same software. :P

Song name: Our Special Place
Genre: Rock/Pop
File type: YouTube -> mp3
Length: 4:32
Software used: Logic Pro 8
Description:

A cover of "Our Special Place" by Renard Queenston. Guitars sound a little more refined due to using a different sample patch and mixing technique than what I did with Clockwork. I don't know how Renard got his vocals to sound the way it does in his tracks, but I did try to emulate it as best as I could.
In case you're wondering, the song is in G minor... sort of. Some of the verses are in a sort of wierd G major/minor combo.
