Wow this is very unique and it goes really well amazing :)
THIS PROJECT WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE NEWGROUNDS AUDIO PORTAL COLLAB CENTER, A DISCORD SERVER WHERE A LOT OF THESE EVENTS TAKE PLACE, GO JOIN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED: https://discord.gg/XsnuFJwHmW
.
By far the biggest project I did. This was crazy. Thank you all.
.
I started this as an ambitious project, and boy has it become one. There were so many ups and fortunately not a lot of downs, but it was definitely a challenge at times.
Right now the project itself consists of over 300 layers, approximately 400 audio files and a completely filled mixer. Yea it's big.
I wanted to see how all the people on the Audio Portal could come together to make something unified and I'm so happy to see how this turned out in the end. Everyone had such distinct and unique styles and it's so cool to let them transition into one another, like it's one singular composition made by many.
This project was started all the way in July, so I've come to care a lot for it. Maybe I'll host this thing next year as well, who knows.

Wow this is very unique and it goes really well amazing :)
thank you :)
Yoooo thank you! Appreciate it :)
Time for a breakdown of the things I love about this track!
I'll only be talking about my favorite things about the song, so please don't feel left out if I don't mention your part as... well music is extremely subjective haha
(Sorry to Carboluka btw! I can't find/remember which parts you merged... But just know that you have my thanks for helping Manon ofc!)
The song starts kinda mid until the second part ngl.
Manon your first part works really well lol. I know it was made as a link but still, it works af
TheNormalMusic : BRO I love the fast part of your part so much! I've always liked fast paced things with electro and realistic things in it + it's melody focused. W parttt
Bascuti, I never ever listen to stuff like your part but I wanted to comment the... I think it's called sound design? I've tried a lot to play with aggressive sounds like in your part and never succeeded, yet here it sounds cleaaaaan
BBank (fellow BB name) : what a chill part, I've got a thing for chill parts lol. This one is chill and nice too!
V-Future : I believe it's synthwave right? Well anyway I love the chords, it makes the entire part epic to my ears 0_0
FODD! I'm pretty sure you know that I love your part already haha. The drum pattern... Idk what you used but I hope I can make something like that one day as well! Seriously your drums may be the most complex here?
MarlAngelo, what do I even say haha. My favorite OST of all time is the Touhou project. And you share a loooot of composition patterns with its creator and that's why our parts are so similar lol (doesn't help that we used the exact same baseline haha). Anyway I hope you'll create more things one day! Iirc you said you were gonna take a break. Have a good break dude.
Oh btw sorry for milking your 1 - b7 - 6 - b6 bass for the transition haha. It's my favorite bassline
Uhhh is it bad that I love the transition here? I know I made it but silnava's melody worked so well with Marl's chords haha.
Bruh the Silnava piano hits so hard too. It slaps SO HARD when the strings replace the trumpet 0_0 (before we get the most mind bending harmony shenanigan of the entire song haha)
Flamadour, Fruitsbat and Manon... holy heck idk what happened at 10:00 but just know that the break is INSAAANE with its atmosphere + guitar
Amethyst added shredding to the song that's insane. I was kind of a metalhead before becoming more jazz-oriented so know that your part was riiiight up in my alley!
Sevenchakra's intense part following Amethyst's works so well too it's insane. Well from here on out iirc all of the parts just work and flow reaaally well so to me this is the start of the best overall section of the song imo! (Damn your sound design too Seven!)
Following this part with Jazzdew's was also a giga smart move. Bro's FL Studio looks like a mixing table and you can HEAR that lol
Lumiflag. Bro your piano is so cooool. I wanted to merge your part originally actually but I couldn't find any other fitting places for it originally. Then studies came smh. But yeah one of the sickest melodies here!
Also why does Kannonized's melody work so well here? Seriously Manon's got some eaaars
PiwAEyes introducing what I believe is color bass here is also so sick like bruhhh I remember listening to it for the first time and going "ayooo that's so weird" and replaying the part because it was weird in a sick way. I believe it's the fact that it's swinged color bass. W idea.
AngelPandaEarth composing on MOBILE is criminal. Seriously I feel insulted. Amazing dedication... and harmony too! It took me some tries to understand it weirdly enough.
Lexxndr. Your 7/4... Heh. I use weird time thingies all the time too but hearing it from someone else is always wayyy better. It makes the part so catchy and it stands out!
Shletty your chords are btw extremely W. I don't think there's that much explicit harmonic minor except for your part, Marl's and mine but I'm forgetting some. Point is, sick part.
TeffyD bringing us some niiiiiice chill (and it makes me think of the beach too) beats too is sick. Pair this with MassiveMarioLuigi's part and you've got the most cozy way to end the song haha. Seriously it makes me smile. Rare case where I don't get angry at a fadeout haha.
So again, huge GGs to all the artists because you cooked. W to Carboluka for helping Manon, and to Manon for... merging like 95% of the parts GAH DAMNNNN
personally i actually love your part the most here lol, i find it very beautiful, feels like rock with orchestral elements same time, it reminds me of the band AliA and touhou songs. even as a metalhead who loves crossover metal/new york hardcore very much ive also been practicing/studying to make something similar to that type of music someday
you flatter me! thank you, thank you
Oh jeez, what a review! Thanks :3
damn, you've really described all the parts ;0
Thanks for the shout out, btw I used LABS drums for my part
Yes king
Dang this is so awesome, congrats to everyone involved!
3manon, how tf did you organize this… you’re a legend for taking 400 audio files from a crap ton of different artists across the audio portal and turning them into a coherent song
Yea uhhh it might have taken me 3 whole months to get this done haha. I made sure to organize every people's layers in their respective groups, making sure to color code every submission seperately, otherwise things would get out of hand really quickly! Even still it was one heck of a task to do and really pushed my cpu to it's limits. Nevertheless was it also a really fun thing to host! You're invited to join for next year (as everyone is) ! ;)
Oh man, this was an undertaking!! Good work everybody and especially 3manon for the idea and execution. EVERYTHING BY EVERYONE indeed!!
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
