Why Taizen's Pieces Aren't Remixed

Posted by Taizen Chisou on March 21, 2013, 10:55 p.m.

If you end up getting stuck with me for the music competition, allow me to be the first to say that I'm genuinely sorry.

So you don't have to go and look, I present the pieces from my SoundCloud that aren't inherently crap.


THE NEW ONES Y'ALL HAVEN'T HAD SHOVED AT YOU BEFORE, SO HERE IT IS

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/theme-of-corolena

I made this one in the car, on the drive down to Not Quite Mexico. It might be kind of loud, apparently.

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/theme-of-azarael

A reskinning of an old song that was previously untitled. Made to fit the Snow Empress, Azarel, from Storia Strana.

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/theme-of-mugestris

Mugestris would be a name that I aim to have come up very often in stuff I've made, like Corolena. Mugestris in Storia Strana is the princess of the neighboring kingdom Amalgest, your first hit in your quest to take over the entire world.

Kind of an old one, though. Made this a long time ago.

I made this on a whim for no particular reason with no inspiration whatsoever. It's a shame I can't compose like that on a regular basis.

From my attempts to de-ass the Lunacy Star 1 soundtrack. These ones are half-successes.

It… kind of is, though. I find myself listening to it far too much more than common sense would dictate, however.

Your ass assessment of this song may vary from mine. I happen to put it at Half Ass.

The requisite Pieces I Don't Hate from Lunacy Star Second:

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/stage-4-2-renegade-bedtime

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/thelastfantasyinthesky

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/neonmetalarena

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/radicallaserunderworld

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/boss-5-nuclear-sex-hell

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/stage-ex-2-radical-shotgun

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/lss-credits-day-of-the-combat

I hate to sort of put a clamp on the pieces I do have to offer, but, uh, you really only need listen to one or two of the songs I don't have listed to see what I mean.

*sigh*

I hope the person I get assigned to has a song that's all black keys or something.

I wouldn't mind remixing your music, Taizen. :D

I actually already have some ideas.

Taizen Chisou 11 years, 9 months ago

Well, that makes me feel better, a bit. Thanks.

I'm curious to see what ideas you would have.

Don't go making anything unless under competition obligation, though, because I still owe Charlie a mix of one of his songs.

this is amusing because you're one of the people i'd be more ok with doing the remix thing for

(or at least i've messed around with the "let us begin" melody on the piano before)

I'd actually be pretty stoked if I got you. Your stuff leaves PLENTY of room for reinterpretation, and that's kind of the whole point. Right?

I think no matter who I get, my remix will be drastically different from the source material. I'm thinking of limiting myself to Rhodes, guitar and live drums. Should be interesting trying to re-imagine a techno track under those conditions. (Or a classical piece for that matter.)

Rez 11 years, 9 months ago

i feel more bad for the person who gets me ha.

Castypher 11 years, 9 months ago

Taizen, I think your stuff is closest to my style, so I'm sure I can work with it well.

And Rez, if I got you I already know what track I'd remix.

Iasper 11 years, 9 months ago

Can everyone please stop saying their stuff is crap unless it actually is crap?

Rez 11 years, 9 months ago

not saying its crap, just saying my current catalog isnt good for instrumental covers xD

*hides in chiptune fort*

Nobody will find me here!

Theme of Corolena was a nice piece, Taizen. Sounds like the instruments are clipping a bit, but that might be my equalizer settings too.

So, what if someone presented a song that was made out of Rhodes, guitar, and live drums?

Hey, I've actually got a series of songs literally titled "Crap," "More Crap," and "Return of the Crap." Can I call them 'crap?'

In a similar vein, there's "Super Balls."

Lol wow really? I would sit there flipping through the songs included in The Twilight Realm, like Waxing Malevolence, that one is probably my favorite one of yours ever.

Although I also really like Ansai's theme.

I still don't see how they could be too similar, although I can imagine a bit.

Absolutely! This whole competition thing is getting me pretty excited. A whole album of 64digiters remixing the music of other 64digiters? Crazy crazy.
