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.

https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/forest-jade

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-3-1-weary-sex-express

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.

If you get me and want to remix this, I'll get it to you as well as a few other tracks. Basically it's Terminys's theme song and I "remix" this myself a lot too. It was the first composition I was really proud of, and as an added note, I was commissioned to make this until I split from the group.

Although I also really like Ansai's theme.
I like how it turned out but it's not as melodic as most of my other pieces. It was intended for a stage 1 shmup boss but I think I might end up scrapping that game.

Quote:
Absolutely! This whole competition thing is getting me pretty excited. A whole album of 64digiters remixing the music of other 64digiters? Crazy crazy.
Because of this I want to do a similar concept involving games, either by making a game in a certain user's style, by "remixing" one of the user's games, or by attempting to finish the user's game.

You're way too hard on yourself. :)

But you see, entire games are too much work, I would think. Unless we all have half a dozen minigames lying around.

I still really like your music though. I've been talking with Charlie about abducting you and Mega for some non-Chaos Weapon projects.

Mega does Dungeon Quest Man and you do Dawn of the New World. That'd be killer.

I'd rather be hard on myself and wrong than overly proud and wrong :<

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

Oh, thank you. I neglected to ask what clipping was, by the way.

That's funny because I always joke about the same thing. Hit me up whenever you decide to work on those, though you should know that once I get into a project, I try to stick to it. If my partner refuses to focus on it for any reason I usually badger them until they do.

Clipping is when something's too fucking loud.

Check Windows 7's volume thingy and make sure the grey bar isn't obscuring the entire space.

That's some wisdom right there.
