Orchestral remix from Evo, an old snes game. Well I was just playing around. Not my style.

"The aural ocean..."

by: LaymanLove

date: March 15, 2006

The production of this piece really stands out among most of the other orchestral crap on this website. It might be because I'm thinking of it as video game music, but who cares.

What I really like is the all-surrounding aural ambience that your choir patches create. You utilized them very well and it seems you were able to side step the often cheesy sounds they exhibit.

Again sound design continues to be your strength and I think is the single strongest factor that sets this arrangement apart. Good job mixing the bells and violins (whiny sounding as they are) for the melody

Your ability to mix a complex orchestral arrangement is the second factor that sets this apart. With headphones on and eyes closed, I am sitting in the middle of a virtual digital symphony.

I can't really find anything I don't like...so screw you for that. It would be a travesty if this piece was not used in a flash and was lost in obscurity.

On a non-musical note, pieces like this really won't get you anywhere if you don't actually have a symphony orchestra to perform it for you. Even video games now adays are moving to the real thing. Oh well...good work anyway Tome.

Peace,
LL

Out of curiosity, do you have me bookmarked too? :P jk

LaymanLove.
You are the first member of a fan base I hope to see growing. For your creative and fair (but still idealic) reviewing, I'm repaying you the best I can. Reviewing ain't my strong side :/ since I'm a hard critic and rather discrouaging with my 3-7 scores instead of 5=bad and 10=good... I'm bookmarking you in my upcoming flash game instead. 'bout that?

When I made this track, I had no idea what you might be thinking about after submitting, since you started a thread about originality and we really strangeled the usage of samples. And I go make an orchestral piece.

I do not have a single idea of how to bookmark you, sorry...

I'm very proud of this track. Especially the Glockenspeil/Solo Violin duo. Sounds cute... And when the choir comes in... It sounds a little russian (lol) but very okay, very film-score-ish.
Made from a game that never got the attention it deserved. I love Evo. One of the most original games ever.

But I'm not sure anybody will make an Evo flash... Would really love to see it, yep...

Your reviews are freaking long.

Many thanks for your review, and (probarbly not needed) please keep listening!

Tome
