WEBVTT
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.479
To the whole world right now.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.200
Come on, north, south, east, west.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.840
Let me see you bob your heads.
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.079
Yo, Memphis.
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:51.759
I remember where I come from.
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.840
The same spot with a snare drum rock.
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:54.719
Feel it in my blood.
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.479
Not ripping silly club, skipping it one.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.159
Under my stock, staying fully club.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.719
Living in my free pick.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.719
Objects that rest remain still.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.400
Up until the fourth meta is done.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.159
Moving at the speed of my just like deck.
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.319
I'm head of my time, I'm never ahead of a flow.
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.319
Don't you know time is one big move.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.640
You can run a mobile, drip around two trees.
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.040
We can stay ahead of the curve and full grip boots.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.280
So you do you, even if it's old school.
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.680
My kick's grip, enhanced the footwork skills.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.000
The track jacket at speed to the windmills.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.000
Be boys fully equipped to channel the sound.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.599
Don't book off wrong.
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:40.560
Hello and welcome to the Overclocked Remix Podcast, the best source for OC remix news and new music that you can listen to while sliding down a chimney to exchange milk and cookies for wrapped gifts from an Elven sweatshop.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.640
My name is Zach, and I once got a Sega Dreamcast for Christmas.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.799
This is episode number 13, which is the birthday episode.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:57.680
That's right, this is the episode covering November 2025, and the very first episode was the one covering November 2024.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.239
I've been doing this all year, and somehow I have listeners.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:03.760
I am grateful.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.360
But speaking of things to be grateful for in news, news, news, I have news.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:16.080
Our play-in song was Time Travelers Delight by Overclock Assembled from Sonic CD.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.120
And our news music, you'll just have to listen for it.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.039
Well, that's because we've got a new album alert.
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:24.400
Stop whatever you are doing and head on over to timeshift.ocremix.org to give it a download.
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.879
You'll hear more about this album later.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.719
That was a spoiler for the segment.
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:37.039
But the short version is that it is an album to celebrate the 25th birthday of OCR, which was roughly one year ago.
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:44.719
Well, it was roughly one year ago on OCR's 25th that the album was conceived, but it's coming out a year later.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.080
Because that's how it works.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.199
Conception, wait roughly a year release.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:55.680
Also, as of this recording, the 2025 edition of an overclocked Christmas is out.
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.479
So go give that a download too.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.759
Now let's move on to some new music.
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:20.160
All right, that was Ancient Skyline by The Key Combo and Paradiddles Josh from Final Fantasy Fourteen, A Flower for Your Funeral by JN Wake and The Man PF from Undertale, Rescue Cora Anthem by Pixel Tea from Pikmin IV, and after that we had In Memoriam by Minus World from Mega Race.
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:29.839
And we are off to a great start, because you know I love Jazzy Final Fantasy remixes and prog metal, and we are getting both of those.
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.680
And also I got this reminder that I haven't played Pikmin 4 yet.
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.680
I replayed 1 and 2 recently.
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:39.680
I just need to replay 3 on the Switch, and then I'll be there.
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.400
Boy, talk about Core Memory Unlocked, Mega Race.
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:51.920
That was one of the very few actual DOS games I had that weren't edutainment of some variety.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:58.319
They did that early 90s thing of, wow, what do we do with hundreds of megabytes of space on a CD-ROM?
00:23:58.880 --> 00:23:59.359
I don't know.
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.720
FMVs?
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:13.680
They had a lot of footage of some actor being a race commentator, and then the races themselves were FMVs of looped FMVs of speeding through a racetrack with sprites on top of that.
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:18.799
Honestly, in my memory, it plays more like a schmuck than a racer, but what do I know?
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.960
Cool soundtrack though, and I love what Minus World has done with it.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.440
Also, a warm welcome to Pixel Tea and their very first mix post.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.799
Something going on this year with new remixers in Pikmin.
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:23.760
By Emmunator, Barat Raman, Minus World, Morgan, Nemo Fairlight, and Zack Parish from Metal Gear Solid.
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:29.199
After that was Rigging Rampage by Argyle from Donkey Kong Country 2.
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:35.119
After that was Five More, Never More, by Zack Parish from Chrono Trigger.
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:50.000
And finally we had The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Weed Whackers by Roland and Lara Quinte Martinez, Jay and Wake, Minus World, and Pixels and Paradiddles from The Legend of Zelda, The Wind Waker.
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.000
And yes, let me acknowledge, I am skipping a track.
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.519
We listened to all of A Night for a Night here on the podcast already, and would you look at that?
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:04.800
We're just gonna move along.
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:16.000
I'm no dropkick Murphy's expert, but I do live in Boston, so I've osmosed a little, and Rigging Rampage definitely has some of that feel.
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:23.039
I think the Source Turn, of course, really lends itself to that sort of Celtic punk, which is what Wikipedia calls this genre.
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.079
Although given it's Boston, maybe it's Celtic Punk.
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:34.719
Anyway, also in this block, I love how I still haven't gotten tired of the Zeal theme from Chrono Trigger, aka Shala's theme.
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:38.639
23 remixes, and we are still loving it.
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:43.599
Also gotta shout out to another sort of newcomer, Roland N.
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:52.239
Larriquente Martinez, who has been on the pod before, but just now got his first arrangement credit.
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:56.000
And what a credit! This is exactly my kind of music.
00:43:56.239 --> 00:44:01.199
A little metal, a little jazz, a lot of prog, and that Oh man.
01:02:45.920 --> 01:03:12.079
Alright, in that block we had A Walk in Snowpoint City by Land Party and Theology from Pokemon Diamond, Above the Borders by Tibanev from Microsoft Flight Simulator, then We Under the Stars by JN Wake and Eminator from Shovel Knight, and House of Shadow by Chimpazilla and Morgan from The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time.
01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:13.039
What is this?
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:14.239
Newcomer Month?
01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:24.320
Land Party and Theology off to a strong start with some groovy house beats from Pokemon Diamond, Instant Classic, and some Shovel Knight goodness.
01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:32.719
I don't know if I mentioned this on the pod, and I'm sure to get a little flack for it, but when Shovel Knight came out, it was my game of the decade.
01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:35.760
Pretty much everything I've ever wanted in a video game.
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:44.320
It did an amazing job at capturing all the good things about classic platformers while avoiding the frustrating things.
01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:46.960
Alright, let's get on to some more music.
01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:52.800
So that was Under a Summer Moon by Minus World, Lady Varda, Deluxe Dolomite, Mathmatat, Optimiza Sean, and Stephen Higby from The Oregon Trail.
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:58.560
After that we had Howls of the Black Wind by Wispy Woodwinds from Chrono Trigger.
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:05.600
After that was Pasio de los Hermanos by Audio Mocha from Brothers, A Tale of Two Sons.
01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:11.520
Finally, Into the Icy Caverns by Timaeus 222 from Pokemon Crystal.
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:16.479
And I was gonna joke that this was the acoustic block until that last track.
01:18:17.039 --> 01:18:22.000
Which is a great take on a couple of Pokemon themes, one of which I even remember.
01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:25.920
I was most definitely a Pokemon Blue kid.
01:18:26.399 --> 01:18:36.560
My younger brother has kept up with the series, playing, I think, at least one game from every single Pokemon gen, and he revisits the older ones pretty frequently, too.
01:18:37.039 --> 01:18:41.600
But I sort of fell off, and I only revisit the series sporadically.
01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:49.039
I played some of uh Sun and Moon, I played some of Sword and Shield, but you know, I skipped some in-between ones.
01:18:49.600 --> 01:18:59.439
See, the problem is I played Dragon Warrior Monsters, which now we know as Dragon Quest Monsters, but back in the day, Dragon Warrior.
01:18:59.920 --> 01:19:06.479
But that led me down this whole other JRPG rabbit hole that I still find myself in.
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:17.760
And of course, another of my childhood favorites, and by favorites, I mean the entertainment that I was allowed to enjoy, I guess, on a school night.
01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:19.680
Oregon Trail.
01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:23.920
I could have sworn we had an Oregon Trail mix on the site already, but nope.
01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:25.039
This is the first.
01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:27.439
Alright, let's listen to some more music.
01:33:50.399 --> 01:33:51.520
Monkey Blood.
01:33:52.079 --> 01:33:59.840
That was I Want to Go Home by Male Decision, Nemo Fairlight, and Paradise Josh from Donkey Kong Country.
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:05.600
Followed by Rose Gray by Creedask from Donkey Kong Country 2.
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:13.119
After that was Philassophobia by Emulator and Morgan from Donkey Kong Country 3.
01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:18.960
And finally, Toy Works Terror by Argyll from Donkey Kong Country 64.
01:34:19.600 --> 01:34:27.039
So Donkey Kong Country turned 31 in November, which is a right proper adult age, I should know.
01:34:27.279 --> 01:34:31.920
And to celebrate, there was a gigantic pile of monkey mixed posts.
01:34:32.239 --> 01:34:39.760
Some of these are from Dwelling of Duels originally, some of these are just mixed posts that were saved for a special occasion.
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:42.159
And has been the theme for this month.
01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:44.399
One of these is a newcomer.
01:34:44.560 --> 01:35:01.920
A warm OCR pod welcome to Pre-Dask, aka the combo of Japanese arranger and producer Tomoyuki Sakakira and vocalist Aika Pim, who cite composer David Wise as a big influence, not just for this track, but for their music careers in general.
01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:04.640
More monkey music coming right up.
01:51:57.439 --> 01:52:10.319
Alright, first things first we had Command and Kong Quer, both spelled with a K, from JN Wake, Ronan Opf, and The Man PF from Donkey Kong Country 2.
01:52:10.560 --> 01:52:17.680
Also from Donkey Kong Country 2, Blackthorn, by Hemophiliac, Prophetic Music, and Stephen Hewitt.
01:52:18.079 --> 01:52:24.479
Following that, we had Mechanomania from Morgan and Eminator from Donkey Kong Country.
01:52:24.720 --> 01:52:40.479
And finally, At the Heart of Yggdrasil by I think it's pronounced Heat, but it's H36T, Gravity Gauntlet, Pixels and Paradiddles, Ronald Poe and Mobius from Streets of Rage, and also Etri and Odyssey.
01:52:41.439 --> 01:52:53.039
Now, for those of you not in the know, fellow podcaster and host of Mega Mixtape Now wrangled and organized and led an incredible new VGM album called Feature Length.
01:52:53.279 --> 01:52:57.920
You can and should go grab it at Megamixtape.com.
01:52:58.319 --> 01:53:07.680
And to give you a taste of the goodness, we have the cross-posted track Command and Conquer, which is a jazzy monkey prog masterpiece.
01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:11.840
Monkey Prog being, of course, one of my favorite prog subgenres.
01:53:12.079 --> 01:53:15.920
I gotta say, as a prog fan, I have eaten well this year.
01:53:16.079 --> 01:53:19.680
This has just been an incredible year for prog on OCR.
01:53:19.920 --> 01:53:21.039
And also jazz.
01:53:21.520 --> 01:53:24.079
And also, I hear you, Humophaliac.
01:53:24.319 --> 01:53:27.600
That is a smooth sticker push symphony.
01:53:28.079 --> 01:53:34.000
Gotta also shout out Morgan, who went from debuting in April to having seven mixed posts.
01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:36.239
That's gotta be some kind of record.
02:10:35.600 --> 02:10:40.560
That was Yazoo by Zack Parrish, Gamer of the Winds, Prophetic Music, and T.
02:10:40.720 --> 02:10:43.600
Sori from Croc, Legend of the Gabos.
02:10:44.000 --> 02:10:49.039
After that was Asgore in Wonderland by Lucas Guimares from Undertale.
02:10:49.600 --> 02:10:56.640
Following that was Middy's Lament by Chimpazilla and Trait from The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess.
02:10:56.880 --> 02:11:01.840
Finally, we have Catactras by Rakos from Chronicon.
02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:04.399
Oh, Krok.
02:11:04.880 --> 02:11:09.039
I don't know why, but I really, really wanted to play Kroc when it came out.
02:11:09.279 --> 02:11:19.920
Alas, I did not have any of the newfangled 3D consoles, and I couldn't stoke enough interest for a weekend rental from any of my friends who did have the newfangled 3D consoles.
02:11:20.159 --> 02:11:27.520
They were all busy with Crash Bandicoot, or in the case of the one guy I knew who had a Sega Saturn, alien trilogy.
02:11:28.000 --> 02:11:35.520
I've heard in the end the game was kinda mediocre, but but what was not mediocre at all was that bouncy little mix.
02:11:35.680 --> 02:11:38.159
Very reminiscent of Mario 3D World.
02:11:38.479 --> 02:11:40.720
Anyway, time for that segment.
02:12:13.760 --> 02:12:24.239
So, what you're hearing right now is Hakaranda Dreams by Diluk from SimCity 4, and also from the new album Time Shift.
02:12:24.399 --> 02:12:27.439
And I hope you guys are ready for something different.
02:12:27.760 --> 02:12:34.000
We had a bit of a birthday bash a couple of weeks ago, and recorded the whole thing.
02:12:34.159 --> 02:12:39.760
This is the podcast's very first segment where you can listen to someone besides me.
02:12:40.079 --> 02:12:41.760
And we're talking Time Shift.
02:12:42.000 --> 02:12:51.600
So I guess this is the live section of the podcast, so all the listeners are about to figure out that uh if I don't write it ahead of time, I'm not particularly eloquent.
02:12:51.920 --> 02:12:56.000
Um, but maybe these other people are.
02:12:56.319 --> 02:13:09.199
Uh how about we introduce ourselves in alphabetical order, starting with which is convenient because that's how Discord lists everyone, which means I'll be last, but Colorado will be first.
02:13:09.520 --> 02:13:10.399
Oh, hi.
02:13:10.640 --> 02:13:15.359
Um, I'm Colorado Weeks, singer, songwriter, spam bot.
02:13:15.520 --> 02:13:18.960
I'll I'll put it as audio poop poster.
02:13:19.199 --> 02:13:19.680
Yeah.
02:13:19.920 --> 02:13:23.520
I I do remixes and I post a lot of memes.
02:13:23.920 --> 02:13:25.279
Alright, next.
02:13:25.760 --> 02:13:27.680
Alright, hey, uh what's up?
02:13:27.760 --> 02:13:29.920
It's your boy, David El Puga.
02:13:30.079 --> 02:13:33.199
Uh I do music and I do other things.
02:13:33.359 --> 02:13:35.520
Uh been on OCR for a while.
02:13:35.680 --> 02:13:38.239
I did badass albums.
02:13:38.560 --> 02:13:42.560
Which uh oddly enough, uh December is the anniversary of.
02:13:42.800 --> 02:13:44.720
And uh great to be here, guys.
02:13:44.880 --> 02:13:45.279
Yeah.
02:13:45.600 --> 02:13:48.079
Hi there, uh my name is Tylock.
02:13:48.399 --> 02:13:52.239
I'm the uh director of the Time Shift album.
02:13:52.560 --> 02:14:09.039
I'm also singer, songwriter, uh making uh silly little things uh occasionally that uh make their way into GameSet Mesh and hopefully across the uh uh into the good box of the judges panel.
02:14:09.279 --> 02:14:13.600
Well we we do have some judges here, so now's a good time to butter them up.
02:14:13.760 --> 02:14:16.000
Uh hi, I'm Paradidals Josh.
02:14:16.399 --> 02:14:23.600
I'm Pixel Seth, our artist, guitarist and drummer, pixel artist, game designer, you know, the whole deal.
02:14:23.840 --> 02:14:24.319
Straight.
02:14:24.640 --> 02:14:25.600
Also the twins.
02:14:25.680 --> 02:14:27.199
I mean, you'll you'll see us around.
02:14:27.359 --> 02:14:29.760
We have probably yes and or no to your tracks.
02:14:30.000 --> 02:14:34.640
I think and the pot I have referred to you at some point as the twin sages.
02:14:34.880 --> 02:14:36.720
Uh we were for a time.
02:14:37.119 --> 02:14:37.600
Indeed.
02:14:37.760 --> 02:14:42.399
And also, you know, Final Fantasy IV is a fun thing to reference.
02:14:42.640 --> 02:14:43.840
Uh alright.
02:14:44.000 --> 02:14:46.720
We've we've got a big jump in the alphabet now.
02:14:46.960 --> 02:14:50.880
Yep, and um I've I've been remixing for quite some time um as well.
02:14:50.960 --> 02:14:52.800
Um is it really Zalif?
02:14:52.880 --> 02:14:54.479
I've been pronouncing it Zalif this whole time.
02:14:55.119 --> 02:14:55.920
Ah, it's totally fine.
02:14:56.239 --> 02:14:56.720
Not a fun.
02:14:56.960 --> 02:14:57.840
Yeah, no, I don't like it.
02:15:00.159 --> 02:15:04.159
Yeah, I know I I've I've heard people pronounce it Shalef, Exalif, um, Zalif.
02:15:04.239 --> 02:15:04.800
It's it's fine.
02:15:04.880 --> 02:15:07.039
I'm I'm not I'm not judging anybody on it.
02:15:07.119 --> 02:15:08.880
It's it's a it's a made-up word.
02:15:09.119 --> 02:15:11.760
Um so that it it totally works out.
02:15:11.840 --> 02:15:14.159
But yeah, so I've I've been mixing for quite some time.
02:15:14.399 --> 02:15:20.479
Um I think my first mix was in 2002, 2003, something somewhere in there.
02:15:20.800 --> 02:15:22.720
Um maybe it was sooner than that, I can't remember.
02:15:22.880 --> 02:15:24.640
But yeah, it was it was it's it's been some time.
02:15:24.720 --> 02:15:25.840
Uh kind of doing it.
02:15:26.000 --> 02:15:27.039
I'm also a sage.
02:15:27.199 --> 02:15:33.520
Um, so um I help out people with their mixes and um do office hours and stuff.
02:15:33.840 --> 02:15:40.640
Yeah, some of us have been listening uh to Son of Chaos for like a million years on our long time.
02:15:40.880 --> 02:15:41.920
I guess that leaves me.
02:15:42.079 --> 02:15:47.600
I'll reintroduce myself because at this point, by this point I will have introduced myself.
02:15:47.840 --> 02:15:56.399
I'm Zach, I host this podcast, I played Mandolin badly, and I have made uh chiptune once.
02:15:56.640 --> 02:16:13.600
Okay, before we all got together on Discord to record, uh I asked everyone to pick a track from Time Shift, uh, which is the new hotness uh that has dropped this month.
02:16:13.840 --> 02:16:17.680
Uh and also we've got the director of that album here, which is amazing.
02:16:17.840 --> 02:16:23.840
Uh but I asked everyone to pick a track, uh, and the only criteria is you want to talk about it.
02:16:24.000 --> 02:16:29.840
It y it doesn't have to be your track, you don't even have to like it, but you do have to want to talk about it.
02:16:30.159 --> 02:16:35.120
So, uh let's everyone talk some music.
02:16:35.280 --> 02:16:37.440
Uh let's go same order again.
02:16:37.600 --> 02:16:46.559
Colorado, tell us about the Well actually no, before we do that, Dylack, tell everyone about the concept of this album and where it came from.
02:16:46.879 --> 02:16:49.200
Legitimately, it was a shower thought.
02:16:49.440 --> 02:16:59.120
Um, I literally was thinking about the impending uh 25th anniversary of Overclock Remix, and it's like, we need to do something about this.
02:16:59.280 --> 02:17:01.120
We ought to go do this, what can we do?
02:17:01.360 --> 02:17:03.840
And so I was like, well, let's let's make an album.
02:17:03.920 --> 02:17:05.920
Okay, how would I structure this album?
02:17:06.159 --> 02:17:08.559
And so I was thought, well, hold on.
02:17:08.799 --> 02:17:17.600
There's all this new music that's happened over the past 25 years that's um now become modern classics of uh video game music.
02:17:17.760 --> 02:17:20.799
And so I was like, well, why don't we look into that?
02:17:20.879 --> 02:17:41.840
And so everyone who's older than the site, so um their birthday is before December 11, 1999, um basically have to um remix from any game that was released after OCR was uh founded, uh, or the first remix came out, which is December 11, uh 1999.
02:17:42.000 --> 02:17:57.840
And uh anyone younger than the site remixes from a time before the side that way we get um a sort of a new nostalgia happening, and people are put outside of the time that they know, and that hence the name of the album being Time Shift.
02:17:58.079 --> 02:18:00.159
So that's basically the concept.
02:18:00.239 --> 02:18:03.840
So it was it's the 25th anniversary album for Overclock Remix.
02:18:04.000 --> 02:18:23.440
Uh most of the music is looking at stuff from the past 25 years, however, uh JSA Blixa being the only artist on the album younger than the site uh had to remix from before the pounding, and it's uh really interesting to see what uh they've done with the uh with the classics.
02:18:23.600 --> 02:18:26.079
So yeah, that's basically the album in a nutshell.
02:18:26.319 --> 02:18:31.440
Yeah, I I think it's fair fair to say that uh a lot of remixers have aged with the site.
02:18:31.600 --> 02:18:36.319
But yeah, uh big shout out to JSA Blixer for providing what four tracks?
02:18:36.719 --> 02:18:42.719
Uh yeah, four well, three tracks and uh contributing to uh another one.
02:18:42.879 --> 02:18:43.200
Yep.
02:18:43.360 --> 02:18:50.399
Also uh Audio Mint as well is uh younger than the site and contribute to uh one of the tracks as well.
02:18:50.799 --> 02:18:52.079
Uh well cool.
02:18:52.239 --> 02:18:55.520
We all picked uh a track that we want to talk about.
02:18:55.680 --> 02:19:04.239
So uh Colorado, why don't you tell us uh uh tell us what track you picked and uh why you picked it and what you want to say about it?
02:19:04.639 --> 02:19:05.520
Uh sure.
02:19:05.760 --> 02:19:08.479
Uh let me try and remember how this goes.
02:19:08.639 --> 02:19:13.040
I've been calling it like Fish Man Overclocked Alarm Mix, all caps.
02:19:14.399 --> 02:19:24.239
Yeah, actually, but before you go how it goes, does anyone can anyone with any confidence, without looking at it, say the full name of this track?
02:19:24.479 --> 02:19:25.680
That's not D-Luck.
02:19:26.000 --> 02:19:27.040
That's not Diluck.
02:19:27.200 --> 02:19:27.840
I got it.
02:19:28.159 --> 02:19:38.399
It is the proven it is the all-inclusive, exclusive club for hairy fishmen who shoot forever turbo alarm clocks.
02:20:11.600 --> 02:20:12.959
Hi, Colorado.
02:20:14.879 --> 02:20:16.079
Hi, Colorado.
02:20:16.159 --> 02:20:28.319
One more time, the name of that track was uh the all-inclusive exclusive club for Harry Fishman who shoot forever turbo alarm clocks.
02:20:29.680 --> 02:20:33.600
Other than the magnificent name, why did you choose this track?
02:20:34.159 --> 02:20:41.280
Um, so has anyone here played Lisa the Painful or anything in the Lisa trilogy?
02:20:41.760 --> 02:20:42.959
Never even heard of it.
02:20:43.280 --> 02:20:46.639
Yeah, I I am not aware of this game.
02:20:46.799 --> 02:20:54.559
Um, so I did a little bit of uh, you know, background research to kind of see the context of this game.
02:20:54.719 --> 02:21:00.959
And if you're looking for, you know, cozy, feel good, uh, this is not that game.
02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:06.399
If you're looking for cozy, if you're looking for feel good, this is definitely not that game.
02:21:06.559 --> 02:21:25.440
It is dark, it is upsetting, you know, it's uh dealing with very heavy subject manner, including the cycle of abuse, but despite all of that darkness, um, it is humorous, it's got a lot of heart, and it's just so absurd, just like this track.
02:21:25.920 --> 02:21:49.200
I'm all for like a really out there remix, but it is really something special to have such an out there interpretation of the track, but still embody the spirit of the game, which is what I think 100% Roamer 100% did with this track.
02:21:49.600 --> 02:22:06.799
Um it's an assault on the ears in the best way, it's harsh, it's hard-hitting, but it's a lot of fun, it's bizarre, and um 100% Roamer uh bills himself as someone uh who makes music for fish.
02:22:07.040 --> 02:22:11.280
I might not be in the Target demographic, but I enjoyed it so much.
02:22:12.559 --> 02:22:32.719
So I almost picked this track, uh, and it's it's funny that you say music for fish because this really reminds me of the soundtrack to G Darius, which I think I've talked up on the podcast before, uh, and on the Discord, which is yeah, it's very similar to this track.
02:22:32.879 --> 02:22:34.799
Um I I enjoyed it a lot.
02:22:35.120 --> 02:22:39.760
I just want to say that the entirety of the indigo section is built around this track.
02:22:39.920 --> 02:22:41.680
That's why everything is where it is.
02:22:42.000 --> 02:22:48.399
It was interesting uh listening to it in the whatnot, like the release candidate.
02:22:48.479 --> 02:22:56.719
We did uh like a final workshop listen through of the the album um before we finalized it and like sent it off to Chris Kohler to get mastered.
02:22:56.959 --> 02:22:59.520
And most of us had not heard it.
02:22:59.680 --> 02:23:02.719
Like uh Romer kept it like pretty close to the chest.
02:23:02.879 --> 02:23:10.959
Yeah, he and several other uh mixes that ended up being on the final release, we didn't even get to hear until like that listen through.
02:23:11.120 --> 02:23:14.799
And for most of us, we were like, What is with these crazy ass noises?
02:23:15.280 --> 02:23:16.639
What is going on here?
02:23:16.879 --> 02:23:18.239
This doesn't make any sense.
02:23:18.399 --> 02:23:19.200
It's wild.
02:23:19.440 --> 02:23:24.559
I I don't know what's happening, and I enjoyed it, question mark.
02:23:24.959 --> 02:23:27.440
It it it's one that it it grew on me.
02:23:27.600 --> 02:23:33.120
It uh the first time I heard it, I was bamboozled, and then I'm grew to accept it.
02:23:33.360 --> 02:23:39.600
It's one of the tracks that kind of really again, not to go back to, but like my it's been on my in my brain because of the month.
02:23:39.760 --> 02:23:45.680
Uh, it really sounds like something that would be in a badass album to me.
02:23:46.479 --> 02:24:04.799
Like, it's just really like we always tried to push what was an OCR remix, you know, like uh, and and do really encourage people to do really interesting things, and and sometimes you would get something like this, and it really did screen that kind of ethos of like just make something cool and fun, who gives a sh, you know, if you want.
02:24:06.000 --> 02:24:12.079
Uh and yeah, I I just really enjoy and you know the naming convention there is is that's great.
02:24:12.239 --> 02:24:23.840
I love when you can get a title and make it its own sentence, uh, and make people wonder, like, what is this about just based on the title, make them want to listen to it, and that's that's great.
02:24:24.239 --> 02:24:34.959
Buddy of mine uh who is on YouTube doing some philosophical Discord avatar is Harvey Alabaster from Lisa the Painful.
02:24:35.280 --> 02:24:47.520
And so once uh once we've got all the all the sight rigumerole figured out and it's uh posted on the page, I'm gonna make sure that Fish gets a chance to listen to this because I think they will enjoy it very much.
02:24:47.760 --> 02:24:50.159
Yeah, I it's a fantastic track.
02:24:50.319 --> 02:24:56.399
Um and if you guys enjoyed it and you haven't listened to the G Doria soundtrack yet, that's your homework.
02:24:56.719 --> 02:24:58.719
Cool! Uh DLP.
02:24:59.520 --> 02:25:01.440
You uh uh you want to talk about the track you picked?
02:25:01.680 --> 02:25:05.440
We already kind of talked about what I wanted to get into, but I'll just continue on that conversation.
02:25:05.520 --> 02:25:09.760
I picked uh JSA Blixer, I believe is how you say it.
02:25:09.840 --> 02:25:15.600
Um and in particular, I picked uh the uh quarters of time shift.
02:25:45.520 --> 02:25:46.399
Uh track.
02:25:46.959 --> 02:25:49.600
I I went back and forth between all three of them.
02:25:49.840 --> 02:25:56.879
Um mostly because I just appreciate the hustle of the of of taking on that many tracks on a pr on a project.
02:25:56.959 --> 02:26:00.879
I've done that before, uh, and it's never an easy task.
02:26:01.040 --> 02:26:05.680
Uh and yeah, every single one of them just hit really hard.
02:26:05.760 --> 02:26:37.280
And you know, I I started doing uh Chip Tune, modern chiptunes, what I call it, and it's really hard to get that to sound great and like stand on its own and to do that that many times in an album with that many different old classic tracks and making them sound new, and also kind of nostalgic in a different way, because I I haven't played uh Chrono Trigger, I know, uh, and there's a lot of stuff I need to catch up on, but it reminded me a lot of the Cave Stories uh soundtrack from when I was a younger man.
02:26:37.680 --> 02:26:42.639
Uh and it was great to be able to hear that kind of like, you know.
02:26:43.040 --> 02:26:47.040
Still getting nostalgia from a thing that I never played from other things in it.
02:26:47.200 --> 02:26:50.000
Like the instrumentation, the way it's it's put together.
02:26:50.079 --> 02:27:02.959
It was just really hitting everything I needed to hit to just make me think of you know simpler times, if you will, but also like just jamming and groovy at the same time.
02:27:03.120 --> 02:27:09.680
Uh and you know, again, just that many tracks on one album, that is, you know, applause here.
02:27:10.000 --> 02:27:13.280
Uh and yeah, you know, just just just well done.
02:27:13.600 --> 02:27:15.040
Huge props.
02:27:15.280 --> 02:27:33.360
And I I also really appreciated uh the choice of Quarters of Time in particular, because I'm I'm scrolling through now and I think that is the oh no, that is I think the second most remixed song on all of OCR.
02:27:33.520 --> 02:27:38.159
Like Corridors of Time has oh yeah, Quarters of Time has 30 remixes.
02:27:38.239 --> 02:27:42.879
It's beaten by Terra from Final Fantasy VI, which has 33.
02:27:43.040 --> 02:27:54.000
Um, but like I I really appreciate that as, you know, given the concept of the album and the inspiration for the album, to do something that has that much history on OCR.
02:27:54.239 --> 02:27:54.639
Definitely.
02:27:54.959 --> 02:28:09.120
That was sort of that was also part of the uh appeal um that I wanted with the album as well, is to look back uh at the past 25 years and I call uh Corridors of Time the national anthem source of overclock remix.
02:28:09.360 --> 02:28:19.200
Um I like that because it it's basically it's I mean, yeah, okay, Terror and uh Legend of Zelda uh Hyrule Field theme.
02:28:19.280 --> 02:28:31.440
Um yeah, okay, they might get more remixes, but there's something very iconic about um about the Seal Kingdom theme, and I think in a way Overclock remix has made it its own.
02:28:31.840 --> 02:28:39.280
And um just yeah, like what uh David said, the nostalgia in this um is amazing.
02:28:39.520 --> 02:28:43.280
Uh there's two things I want to jump in here and say.
02:28:43.440 --> 02:28:53.680
Uh having uh I think everyone here except for DLP and Zach have worked with uh Blixr uh as like in some fashion.
02:28:53.840 --> 02:28:56.639
Um and so we can all sort of speak to that a little bit.
02:28:56.719 --> 02:29:01.840
So JSA Blixr does she pulls from hardware.
02:29:02.000 --> 02:29:13.280
Uh all of all of her Game Boy Color sounds and Game Boy sounds are off of LSDJ, like right from the hardware, and I believe it's two Game Boys recorded in total.
02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:20.959
Um occasionally she'll use an emulator for GVA sounds, um, but LSDJ with two Game Boys is the typical setup.
02:29:21.200 --> 02:29:46.479
And in corridors of Tineships specifically, the sounds that you hear between the brakes, like the kind of bookend section one and uh section three, that's uh those are that's fully that JSA recorded of pulling out the cartridge and loading it in and then also blowing it to clear the you know the old school blowing on the cartridge sound.
02:29:46.559 --> 02:29:48.639
Like that's that's recorded in there.
02:29:48.879 --> 02:29:59.840
Um and it's it's enjoyable working with Blixr getting chips right from it, even if it's also sometimes a headache and a little bit of a pain to mix over and over.
02:30:00.239 --> 02:30:01.920
That just makes it wow.
02:30:02.000 --> 02:30:04.000
That it adds a whole new dimension to it.
02:30:04.319 --> 02:30:04.799
Yep.
02:30:05.360 --> 02:30:06.000
Amazing.
02:30:06.239 --> 02:30:10.959
JC Blixr, you have become a new favorite of mine.
02:30:11.360 --> 02:30:13.520
Yeah, that's incredible.
02:30:13.760 --> 02:30:22.959
Um I think it's uh the game composer and chip tuner Chipzil does uh the same thing.
02:30:23.200 --> 02:30:30.879
Uh you know, uh all the games she's worked on have been like two Game Boys, uh LSDJ, just go.
02:30:31.520 --> 02:30:35.440
Uh two Game Boy cartridges and a microphone, hell yeah.
02:30:35.680 --> 02:30:38.079
Yeah, exactly.
02:30:38.479 --> 02:30:40.239
That was a Game Boy break.
02:30:40.479 --> 02:30:43.600
Yeah, it still amazes me with uh Blitz.
02:30:43.680 --> 02:30:50.079
Like, she is making music on hardware that is much older than her.
02:30:50.399 --> 02:30:54.719
So yes, that is the truth.
02:30:55.040 --> 02:31:00.319
I wanted to argue about the the word much, uh, but I think I just need to admit that I'm old.
02:31:00.559 --> 02:31:02.239
Yeah, I mean that hurt me to hear that.
02:31:02.399 --> 02:31:03.840
I was like, oh god.
02:31:05.360 --> 02:31:15.600
We'll say those pulse channels on the Game Boy Color have a very special place in my heart as someone who played a lot of Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Gold on long road trips.
02:31:15.760 --> 02:31:17.920
Every time Blixir puts out something new.
02:31:18.159 --> 02:31:31.360
Yeah, uh Josh and I have a side project with Blixr that we call Audio Processing Unit, uh, that we've done a couple of tracks together, and I I look forward to doing more in 2026.
02:31:31.680 --> 02:31:33.200
I I look forward to hearing them.
02:31:33.440 --> 02:31:37.760
I need to start a whole new project to work with her, I think, at this point.
02:31:38.000 --> 02:31:44.239
Yep, so one one thing I would say is um I've worked with her on quite a few collabs.
02:31:44.639 --> 02:32:02.479
Um and I would say like even if she didn't use the LSDJ, I her attention to music in general and uh theory and um I don't know, like it's it's she's incredibly creative, but it's incredibly solid.
02:32:02.639 --> 02:32:05.680
Like all of her songs are are really well formed.
02:32:05.840 --> 02:32:11.280
Um so anytime she asks me for advice, usually it's it's something that's incredibly minor.
02:32:11.440 --> 02:32:16.639
Like it's um like she she already has most of the the things that she needs in spades.
02:32:17.360 --> 02:32:22.799
Um what shows in every track in this this project, go listen to it if you haven't.
02:32:23.040 --> 02:32:25.040
Any one of them, all of them.
02:32:25.920 --> 02:32:26.879
Listen to the album.
02:32:26.959 --> 02:32:27.840
Who am I talking about?
02:32:27.920 --> 02:32:28.959
Listen to the whole thing.
02:32:29.600 --> 02:32:35.280
Listen to uh listen to Blix's tracks, and yeah, they you can hear everything you just said, Zelov.
02:32:35.440 --> 02:32:36.079
It it's yeah.
02:32:36.399 --> 02:32:42.000
I think the only advice I had to give it was basically hey, there's a frequency that's coming through, make sure you uh EQ that out.
02:32:42.079 --> 02:32:43.360
That was that's all I had to say.
02:32:43.600 --> 02:32:46.959
So what I'm hearing is she makes things easy on the judges.
02:32:47.280 --> 02:32:49.760
Well good guess, but actually no.
02:32:49.920 --> 02:32:56.959
Yeah, uh historically, Chiptune has a hard time um passing the panel unless it's like Chiptune Plus.
02:32:57.200 --> 02:33:01.120
I yeah, I remember uh I'm gonna really show my age here.
02:33:01.200 --> 02:33:08.239
There's a maze dude track from Earthbound called I think C64, but like spelled out.
02:33:08.719 --> 02:33:13.040
Um and I remember there being like drama about that track.
02:33:13.440 --> 02:33:14.639
Classic track, by the way.
02:33:14.799 --> 02:33:16.079
Oh yeah, absolutely classic.
02:33:16.319 --> 02:33:53.200
It's it like chiptune is one of those things on the panel that if you are being historically accurate and like uh limited exclusively to what the hardware is capable of, the panel isn't gonna like it very much because it's mono, it has a lot of annoying to listen to frequencies, and unless the programming of it musically is such that despite all of that, it's too good to pass, it's gonna get no for not being stereo, for uh having limited voicing, for having too much repetition, etc.
02:33:53.440 --> 02:33:53.680
etc.
02:33:54.000 --> 02:33:58.079
Like chip tune alone struggles a lot on the panel.
02:33:58.559 --> 02:34:00.879
Even if it's too Game Boys?
02:34:01.360 --> 02:34:21.360
Yeah, uh, because if there isn't any uh if there's no stereo effects or like anything that makes the mixing like make it pop, it's hard for one of those to stand out, even from an arrangement standpoint, because you know OCR loves having a well-produced for a hobbyist, you know, mix.
02:34:21.680 --> 02:34:25.440
So everybody listening out there, you just dump a stereo widener on it.
02:34:25.520 --> 02:34:26.479
Just have fun.
02:34:27.680 --> 02:34:54.239
Um there's a chip tuner named uh VAV, VAV, that I forget what they call it, but basically uh at some point uh actually made a hardware device capable of doing this, but put together like the the sound chips of the Game Boy, the Super Nintendo, and the Sega Genesis, and makes these amazing combo chip tunes.
02:34:54.479 --> 02:35:01.200
Um not really relevant to Time Shift, just I wanted to say everyone go listen.
02:35:01.840 --> 02:35:05.760
Uh cool, Dilek, uh album director.
02:35:06.159 --> 02:35:08.639
What track uh did you bring?
02:35:08.799 --> 02:35:12.719
And I I want to clarify, you know, this isn't necessarily your favorite.
02:35:12.799 --> 02:35:14.559
I'm sure you don't play favorites.
02:35:14.959 --> 02:35:18.159
Uh, but what track did you did you bring to show and tell?
02:35:18.399 --> 02:35:24.319
Uh well, yeah, I I've heard uh all of 19 tracks on this so many times.
02:35:24.559 --> 02:35:33.280
Um, but the one that I find myself coming back to again and again is uh Morgan's track, uh Along Night Till Morning Comes.
02:36:17.200 --> 02:36:57.040
Um Morgan really dug into their um nostalgia and their memories, and they um really um basically were like um well what what really means something to me and so they uh went for Animal Crossing Wild World and the whole of their um whole of it is based off uh the 1am tune, which is normally a tune that not many people are familiar with given its time of day when it when it plays, and of course Animal Crossing being a time-based uh game in real time, uh unless you do silly things that make um moles mad.
02:36:57.120 --> 02:37:05.440
But anyway, um the uh um the thing about that really gets to me is the nostalgia and Morgan captures it.
02:37:05.680 --> 02:37:16.159
Um it's got all these wonderful elements all just mixed together into this beautiful swirling spiraling form.
02:37:16.479 --> 02:37:19.440
Uh it's it's basically it's a three-act play.
02:37:19.680 --> 02:37:36.000
Um we go from the 1am theme uh into the middle section and um around around 125 in it, that um percussion is actually a DS stylus being tapped on the DS.
02:37:36.159 --> 02:37:40.479
Um no way! Yeah, that's um that's what that is.
02:37:41.360 --> 02:37:42.479
Oh that's great.
02:37:42.799 --> 02:37:46.159
Yeah, it's uh it's an absolute genius move.
02:37:46.239 --> 02:37:55.680
And then um they did a reverse guitar of the roost theme that comes in around 1 minute 50, and that gets me every time.
02:37:55.840 --> 02:38:09.600
It's something so I mean I mean it's just the it's just the cafe theme, but there's something so heartfelt and so yearning and longing for simpler times in that tune.
02:38:09.840 --> 02:38:23.520
Um it then just basically ends on a um uh it ends on on a sadness because I mean it's nostalgia and it's it's you know meant to be uh represent those nights of all game all night gaming that we did when we were younger.
02:38:23.840 --> 02:38:33.520
And of course, you know, we sort of remember back on those times with joy and with sadness because we can't really do that much these days as soon as you know we all grow up, we have a life.
02:38:33.680 --> 02:38:35.920
But I mean we can do it, but we're gonna regret it.
02:38:36.000 --> 02:38:36.559
I'm just gonna do it.
02:38:36.719 --> 02:38:37.360
Exactly.
02:38:37.600 --> 02:38:38.479
Exactly.
02:38:38.799 --> 02:38:47.520
But the the other thing about this track is when I went to Jose uh or Jose came to me and said, How do you want the trailer to be built?
02:38:47.600 --> 02:39:02.479
I was like, okay, uh, I want first quarter of Jacaranda Dreams as the opening, I want corridors of time mixed through it, and I want the end of um a long night till morning comes to be the final notes you hear in the trailer.
02:39:02.639 --> 02:39:12.479
Um so just because of that whole nostalgia um aspect of it, and so that's why it's the last notes in the trailer.
02:39:12.799 --> 02:39:18.319
So I think this is the fourth Morgan track on the podcast.
02:39:18.719 --> 02:39:28.879
Uh and I don't have the musical vocabulary, but Morgan has like a sound, and I love it.
02:39:29.040 --> 02:39:39.200
And maybe one of you has like more of the musical vocabulary to talk about this, but there's just something I I I don't have the words.
02:39:39.920 --> 02:39:42.959
I wish I could speak to the more to the musicality.
02:39:43.040 --> 02:39:51.600
Uh Morgan as a producer, uh not just for music, but like doing videos uh on YouTube.
02:39:51.920 --> 02:39:54.159
It is well worth your time if you're a musician.
02:39:54.319 --> 02:39:57.520
Uh Morgan has a like historical deep dive.
02:39:57.600 --> 02:39:59.360
I think it's like an hour or something long.
02:39:59.600 --> 02:40:06.479
Uh the premise is to build the perfect snare drum sound and like the history of the snare drum.
02:40:06.719 --> 02:40:08.000
I'm not gonna spoil it.
02:40:08.079 --> 02:40:17.040
It's well worth if you're a musician or not a musician, Morgan goes to the T of doing the research and then making the greatest snare drum sound of all time.
02:40:17.200 --> 02:40:21.120
Uh and I say that without any hyperbole.
02:40:21.200 --> 02:40:25.520
Uh even without hyperbole, finding a perfect drum sound sucks most of the time.
02:40:25.840 --> 02:40:26.319
It does.
02:40:26.399 --> 02:40:29.760
Uh, and you get to see Morgan's process the whole way through it.
02:40:29.920 --> 02:40:33.440
Um, I I've I've gotten to work with Morgan on a few tracks.
02:40:33.760 --> 02:40:36.479
Morgan is so fun to work with.
02:40:36.799 --> 02:40:48.479
Uh in fact, if you work with uh either Morgan or uh Eminator, they both and it must be familial, they have this like exuberance when working with them.
02:40:48.559 --> 02:41:13.120
Like there's an excitement, there's uh uh they have they're very yes and like uh collaborators, which is always fun to to work with people who are yes and and uh Morgan will go and like with as much creativity as you would hope for in a collaborative partner, find Foley, make weird samples, like just super fun.
02:41:13.280 --> 02:41:19.680
I I I know we're not supposed to in dwelling in duels like uh break anonymity.
02:41:20.079 --> 02:41:23.440
Occasion and I I think this is sort of what you're speaking to, Zach.
02:41:23.520 --> 02:41:31.280
Like, uh we'll hear us uh like a track come on and it will sound like none of the other participants, and I'm like, is that Morgan?
02:41:31.520 --> 02:41:33.120
It's gotta be Morgan, right?
02:41:34.239 --> 02:41:43.920
Okay, so so first of all, I'm gonna ask you to drop that video in a link to that video in chat so that I can watch it later and also put it in the show notes.
02:41:44.159 --> 02:41:46.079
Uh, because that sounds fascinating.
02:41:46.559 --> 02:41:48.799
Could I say one more thing about this too?
02:41:49.200 --> 02:41:49.760
Absolutely.
02:41:50.000 --> 02:41:57.360
And talking about like nostalgia and like OCR through the years, uh and I and I I hate to compare things, right?
02:41:57.440 --> 02:42:11.120
Uh but this track, Morgan it had a very there's a specific subtype of song that got submitted uh for a while, and one of the the biggest, I guess the top of that that comes to my mind is Scripnik.
02:42:11.440 --> 02:42:29.680
And it had that really Scriptnik sound in it, which I I love all of Scripnik's uh mixes from the site, and it really brought back that same kind of feeling I got from a lot of of those uh remixes, and and and I think that's really interesting in this, and that you know it's nostalg again, it's nostalgia in a bunch of different ways.
02:42:30.079 --> 02:42:31.120
Oh, Scriptnik.
02:42:31.360 --> 02:42:32.079
I like drums.
02:42:32.319 --> 02:42:33.360
That's all you need to know.
02:42:33.680 --> 02:42:33.920
Yeah.
02:42:35.120 --> 02:42:46.639
So yeah, I just it was this whole album has really, really hit, I guess, what it's supposed to be, with that that time shift that you know through the OCR through the ages, if you will, which I hate because it keeps dating me.
02:42:46.879 --> 02:42:55.840
But you know, it's really good job on this, everybody, you know, who had anything to do with this project, right?
02:42:56.159 --> 02:42:58.079
And you for directing it.
02:42:58.159 --> 02:43:00.799
Like, this is this is a great project.
02:43:01.280 --> 02:43:11.440
Uh yeah, we'll we'll get into it more when we get to my track, but like my criterion for the track I wanted to select was what hit me in the nostalgia the hardest.
02:43:11.680 --> 02:43:12.719
Um, yeah.
02:43:12.959 --> 02:43:16.879
Amazing round of applause applause, amazing project.
02:43:16.959 --> 02:43:18.559
I'm so glad it came together.
02:43:18.879 --> 02:43:21.280
Um I'm I'm really thrilled by it as well.
02:43:21.440 --> 02:43:26.079
It it has been a journey and it's been such a a worthwhile experience.
02:43:26.239 --> 02:43:29.440
So um Is this the first album you've directed?
02:43:29.680 --> 02:43:36.319
This is the first album I've directed, and um I'm gonna go ahead and do it again uh sometime very soon, probably.
02:43:36.399 --> 02:43:37.200
So, yes.
02:43:37.520 --> 02:43:38.479
Ooh, ooh.
02:43:39.280 --> 02:43:41.520
Is this a podcast scoop?
02:43:41.840 --> 02:43:43.920
Uh this is a podcast scoop.
02:43:44.159 --> 02:43:50.559
Uh so I mean I have mentioned it uh kind of in passing, and there's a couple of Easter eggs here and there around the place.
02:43:50.799 --> 02:43:57.440
But um next project is going to be Illusion of Time, Stroke Illusion of Gaia, depending which side of the Atlantic you're from.
02:43:57.760 --> 02:44:01.440
And um that's uh gonna be starting sometime in the new year.
02:44:01.760 --> 02:44:05.120
I had no idea that game had a different name on the other side of the Atlantic.
02:44:05.360 --> 02:44:08.239
Yeah, uh it was released in PAL Territories' Illusion of Time.
02:44:08.319 --> 02:44:10.879
I guess it was um some sort of copywriting thing.
02:44:10.959 --> 02:44:13.040
There's a difference between Star Wing and Star Fox same.
02:44:14.239 --> 02:44:14.479
Yeah.
02:44:14.959 --> 02:44:16.399
Well, cool.
02:44:16.639 --> 02:44:18.319
Uh thanks for the scoop.
02:44:18.399 --> 02:44:22.879
I'll I'll put like a news program sting in before that.
02:44:23.200 --> 02:44:26.239
Paradiddles Josh, you wanna you wanna talk about your track?
02:44:26.479 --> 02:44:29.120
Or not necessarily your track, but the track you picked.
02:44:29.360 --> 02:44:31.200
So I did not pick my track.
02:44:31.440 --> 02:44:31.760
Oh.
02:44:32.479 --> 02:44:35.200
Oh, did I can't remember I can't remember who picked it back?
02:44:35.520 --> 02:44:37.120
That's because I picked our track.
02:44:37.440 --> 02:44:39.920
Oh I see.
02:44:40.239 --> 02:44:40.479
Yeah.
02:44:40.719 --> 02:44:41.760
Alright, do the twin thing.
02:44:41.840 --> 02:44:43.280
Talk about the track together.
02:44:43.760 --> 02:44:46.479
Okay, but should should we do ours first?
02:44:47.200 --> 02:44:50.000
No, you do yours first, and and we'll we'll segue to mine.
02:44:50.399 --> 02:44:51.280
Okay, no worries.
02:44:51.440 --> 02:44:52.079
No worries.
02:44:52.399 --> 02:45:00.879
So I picked Shafts of Sunlight by Mel Decision featuring Trait, uh, covering City on the Mesa from Horizon Zero Dawn.
02:45:17.520 --> 02:45:24.399
Oh great sun, make treaty with the moon to give our fallen quiet rest.
02:45:26.159 --> 02:45:29.440
Furnish them with the armor of your brazen heat.
02:45:30.639 --> 02:45:33.440
Give them shafts of sunlight for spears.
02:45:34.799 --> 02:45:38.639
Illuminate the path to the skies for each one of them.
02:45:40.559 --> 02:45:48.399
Let their memory and sacrifice be a beacon for all hunters, all people to follow.
02:45:56.319 --> 02:46:11.200
Now I've never played the Horizon series, um, but clear that Mel brings a lot of her love and passion for the series track to the table, um, inside Shafts of Sunlight.
02:46:11.440 --> 02:46:23.360
Um, we've heard both as collaborators on the album and as sages, um, this particular track in several of its work in progress forms.
02:46:23.520 --> 02:46:34.559
And so, um, if you haven't heard a Mel Decision track, it's worth grabbing a few because Mel is not a remixer to be slept on.
02:46:34.879 --> 02:46:37.920
There's some really cool stuff going on.
02:46:38.079 --> 02:46:48.799
Um some of it is cool sound design that you know that Trey threw in, um, shaping the bass sound with a like with a bass preset and serum.
02:46:48.959 --> 02:46:53.040
Um but there's also little bits like guitar and counter melodies.
02:46:53.280 --> 02:47:11.680
But the overall design is a it's a synth wave track that is surprisingly more uplifting and um almost like Saka and sweet kinda compared to other synth wave that I've been exposed to.
02:47:11.920 --> 02:47:19.120
Um there's a few really choice sound bites from Horizon Zero Dawn that that show up in the track.
02:47:19.280 --> 02:47:29.360
Um and the the back third of it just has this amazing shift into a more heroic, triumphant kind of feel to it.
02:47:29.600 --> 02:47:43.200
Um The Judges panel was a little split on it because it is kind of one note in terms of how it how it pushes rhythmically, but that's kind of a feature and not a bug when it comes to Synthwave.
02:47:43.280 --> 02:47:49.200
Um I just it was really cool to see this one evolve, and that's why I picked it ultimately.
02:47:49.520 --> 02:47:52.479
I also really enjoyed- I mean I enjoyed the whole album.
02:47:52.559 --> 02:47:55.040
It was it was good, but I really enjoyed this track.
02:47:55.200 --> 02:48:00.479
Uh despite the fact that I really did not enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn itself.
02:48:00.639 --> 02:48:03.120
Like, I'm glad Mel is a huge fan.
02:48:03.360 --> 02:48:06.000
Uh not the game for me though.
02:48:06.559 --> 02:48:21.600
Yeah, um Shaft of Sunlight was the first um, well, in its uh various incarnations, it was the first um work in progress to be presented, and as soon as I heard it, I was like, okay, this album is gonna work.
02:48:21.680 --> 02:48:23.040
We're on to something here.
02:48:23.280 --> 02:48:33.840
So um it holds a special place for me as well because of it being the first uh work in progress and just sort of affirming that, yeah, I can do this, I can do this project.
02:48:34.079 --> 02:48:53.680
I'm I'm curious as some uh as uh especially uh the the sages and judges here, uh having heard this uh in different incarnations, and of course also, you know, the director, having heard this track in different incarnations, uh at what point did all the NPC clips get thrown in?
02:48:53.760 --> 02:48:55.360
Because I really enjoyed those.
02:48:55.760 --> 02:48:57.360
I want to say immediately?
02:48:57.840 --> 02:49:00.559
At least since the second work in progress, right?
02:49:00.799 --> 02:49:02.239
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
02:49:02.559 --> 02:49:10.159
Uh like the the volume of those sound clips uh had to be adjusted over the course of the whips.
02:49:10.319 --> 02:49:16.159
Like that's that's one of the things that that really got you know honed in on for Mel's track.
02:49:16.319 --> 02:49:21.200
Also, shout out to all the game set mash for Team Mega's homies.
02:49:21.760 --> 02:49:24.399
Yeah, we got we got three of them here in the chat.
02:49:24.639 --> 02:49:25.600
Yay! Hello.
02:49:26.000 --> 02:49:27.600
We are your personal peacock.
02:49:27.760 --> 02:49:28.079
Anyway.
02:49:30.079 --> 02:49:33.840
Yeah, uh I hate to be so self-indulgent.
02:49:33.920 --> 02:49:37.360
Uh it's just I I rarely get to talk about this particular track.
02:49:37.440 --> 02:49:49.760
So I I'm bringing Children of Light to the table, which is which is uh it so it's Final Fantasy Fourteen, specifically, it's a Realm Reborn and Shadowbringers.
02:50:42.639 --> 02:50:56.000
Which is in the fandom, but in the player base at large, uh we like for Final Fantasy XIV, we seem to regard More Than Truth as the like kind of the main theme for your warrior of light.
02:50:56.159 --> 02:51:05.760
It it plays during pivotal moments uh that are like key to the story in the the you know the main questline as you go through.
02:51:05.920 --> 02:51:10.879
Uh yes, we do need more Final Fantasy XIV songs, and so I'm just doing my part.
02:51:11.200 --> 02:51:18.239
Uh when Time Shift came up, I like there's a there's a lot of games that are uh young.
02:51:18.559 --> 02:51:21.920
Are we calling them young for the purposes instead of like the oldies?
02:51:22.639 --> 02:51:27.280
There's a lot of the youngins that I could have picked from, but I had just finished Shadowbringers.
02:51:27.360 --> 02:51:30.079
Like I like modern because that makes me feel better.
02:51:30.319 --> 02:51:31.120
Modern's good.
02:51:34.879 --> 02:51:45.040
Uh I had just finished Shadowbringers, and Shadowbringers is a giant gut puncher from probably start to finish as an expansion.
02:51:45.280 --> 02:51:53.520
Um I don't want to talk too much about the expansion itself, but the reason I picked it is because of the deep emotional draw.
02:51:53.920 --> 02:51:57.760
Um I wanted to do uh like a big vocal track.
02:51:57.920 --> 02:52:13.040
I wanted to do big nine-minute, you know, progressive metal uh like kind of take on that theme in the style of like Mastodon, which uh like there's a lot of like calls to that.
02:52:13.120 --> 02:52:17.520
Like stylistically, I do a lot of you know, and I think you've called it out, Zach, in the show.
02:52:17.680 --> 02:52:22.399
Like, there's a lot of kind of progressive metal stuff that comes from Pixels and Paradiddles.
02:52:22.559 --> 02:52:26.879
We we draw a lot from like Gojira and Mastodon and and Tool.
02:52:27.440 --> 02:52:31.520
When I'm not listening to video game music, I'm usually listening to progressive metal.
02:52:31.680 --> 02:52:43.680
Uh and I would I you know there's sections of this that what I heard more than uh Mastodon or Tool uh was or Gojira even was uh I heard some Haken in there.
02:52:43.920 --> 02:52:47.120
Yeah, uh that's they're they're a little bit on my playlist.
02:52:47.280 --> 02:52:54.399
Uh there's uh one of the inspirations in it also is uh oh what is the name of that band?
02:52:54.559 --> 02:52:55.840
They do the song The Flood.
02:52:57.840 --> 02:53:01.040
The first thing that came to mind was they might be giants, and that's definitely not it.
02:53:01.360 --> 02:53:03.760
No, they were just on uh Museura.
02:53:04.319 --> 02:53:05.760
Um Lepros.
02:53:06.000 --> 02:53:08.319
There's an S in there, it just doesn't start with there.
02:53:08.479 --> 02:53:11.440
Uh like Lepros was a huge inspiration for it.
02:53:11.680 --> 02:53:17.920
Um specifically uh from Mastodon, I think it is the last Baron.
02:53:18.079 --> 02:53:39.840
Um, the kind of the riff that is in the bridge that starts the bridge section is like the vast majority of like the underlying pieces of how it came together were like a set of riffs that I'd been practicing that had no melodic content to go over them, they were just riffs, and my everyone's got their own process for making things.
02:53:40.000 --> 02:53:49.200
I tend to define how I start a remix by finding the riff, like quote unquote the riff, and then work from there.
02:53:49.680 --> 02:53:51.520
And the riff can be anything.
02:53:51.680 --> 02:54:02.239
In this case, it was the like the arpagiated guitar line that is underneath the like after you pass the intro when we get to the first ver vocal section.
02:54:02.559 --> 02:54:10.399
That thing was the start of like once I could put more than truth over on top of that, everything clicked into place from there.
02:54:10.879 --> 02:54:21.920
Um, and I was really concerned that there wasn't gonna be enough Final Fantasy in it, and so I was able to find ways to include uh like the prelude in it.
02:54:22.399 --> 02:54:23.920
You got to, it's like a rule.
02:54:24.159 --> 02:54:28.239
Uh I I hope it's a rule, uh, because it is now.
02:54:28.319 --> 02:54:36.079
Uh I found a way to do it in 6-8 and 6-4 instead of in 4-4, which was harder to do than you might think.
02:54:36.479 --> 02:54:48.079
Um especially not using um not using the exactly like underlying chord structures underneath it to have something you know different.
02:54:48.319 --> 02:54:54.079
Um it it kind of pulls a little bit like a perfect circle during those sections.
02:54:54.239 --> 02:54:57.200
Uh especially like with the guitar leads.
02:54:57.440 --> 02:55:14.639
Um Welling of Duel's heads, we'll we'll notice that there's a particular uh saucy lead line that transitions out of the first guitar solo into like the thing at the bridge, and if you could spot it, yes, I did it just for you.
02:55:15.280 --> 02:55:18.399
Um I did that to go in Jackaranda Dreams.
02:55:18.639 --> 02:55:20.399
Yeah, like you you got it.
02:55:20.559 --> 02:55:28.000
Uh this is a family podcast, so we will not be calling it by the tongue-in-cheap name, even though I want to.
02:55:28.159 --> 02:55:30.000
Um I did it just for you.
02:55:30.159 --> 02:55:37.360
I also uh put a call out to the like our workshop server for doing like the albums.
02:55:37.440 --> 02:55:43.200
I wanted to get more vocalists on it and get kind of a big ol' warrior of light choir.
02:55:43.600 --> 02:55:47.600
And I only got like maybe six or seven people who volunteered.
02:55:47.680 --> 02:55:51.360
I would have loved to have gotten more, but you know, you gotta make the track.
02:55:51.440 --> 02:55:54.959
You can't sit there and wait, you know, all day to get everything.
02:55:55.440 --> 02:55:59.360
So, you know, Nicole Chang threw in, Diluck threw in, uh.
02:56:00.079 --> 02:56:09.520
Adrian grabbed the gauntlet, threw in uh Voodoo Queen threw in more than what I asked, which was helpful to get more like harmony in some of the places.
02:56:10.000 --> 02:56:11.040
Uh who am I missing?
02:56:11.200 --> 02:56:18.959
Mobius threw in some synth V to kind of help fill out more of the harmonic stuff going on.
02:56:19.040 --> 02:56:23.360
Uh, you don't really hear the synth V layers as much as like they're they're there.
02:56:23.600 --> 02:56:27.920
Uh gosh me, I feel like I'm missing you're missing Mel.
02:56:28.319 --> 02:56:29.280
I am missing Mel.
02:56:29.440 --> 02:56:30.319
Is there one more?
02:56:30.479 --> 02:56:31.920
I think that that might be it.
02:56:32.159 --> 02:56:33.120
Let's look.
02:56:33.680 --> 02:56:36.559
I think that's yeah, that's that's what's on the website.
02:56:36.959 --> 02:56:37.200
Yep.
02:56:37.600 --> 02:56:41.920
So when does so you're saying the bottle in two is gonna come out and like everybody who wants to be a part of it?
02:56:42.639 --> 02:56:44.239
That would be fantastic.
02:56:44.399 --> 02:56:59.280
Although I did go kind of crazy mixing uh let's see, there are a hundred and ten instrument tracks, and there are sixty-seven vocal tracks across eight people.
02:56:59.680 --> 02:57:00.719
That is awesome.
02:57:01.040 --> 02:57:09.040
Wow, I you can't it it's way more than probably was necessary, but it it did the job.
02:57:09.120 --> 02:57:15.840
The uh Adrian you can hear very clearly in the bridge section where it goes to answers from a realm reborn.
02:57:16.079 --> 02:57:23.120
Adrian is the really low, like, like very guttural thing underneath.
02:57:23.360 --> 02:57:27.520
Um Nicole has the only like true soprano up high.
02:57:27.760 --> 02:57:32.559
Uh you've got Mel and VQ kind of holding out the altos.
02:57:32.959 --> 02:57:40.479
I think Diluck and Josh and me kind of covered the rest of the tenor and bass stuff in there.
02:57:40.639 --> 02:57:47.600
Although Adrian's had the more like characteristic in there, so his comes out more covering the low.
02:57:47.680 --> 02:57:58.000
I think you get a lot of dialuk, and there's a little and then like Josh and I are sort of background in that helping filling out the space just to get more choral.
02:57:58.479 --> 02:58:00.159
And worth it.
02:58:00.319 --> 02:58:13.520
Like I uh we need more vocal tracks in the VGM community, and if you are a VGM, if you're a vocal VGM hater, every time you dislike one, I'm gonna make three more.
02:58:17.040 --> 02:58:21.520
Your cringe is what fuels me, and I live for it.
02:58:22.239 --> 02:58:28.079
Uh I will say I I really loved the way that this track ended.
02:58:28.239 --> 02:58:33.920
Like, I just thought the ending like it was just like perfectly epic.
02:58:34.159 --> 02:58:37.200
Uh the trailer was exactly what I wanted.
02:58:37.600 --> 02:58:48.399
The trailer doing the transition from the big held out you know, riding home into Morgan's track is Chef Kiss.
02:58:48.879 --> 02:58:49.520
So good.
02:58:49.920 --> 02:58:50.879
Agreed.
02:58:51.120 --> 02:58:51.760
100%.
02:58:52.479 --> 02:58:53.840
What were you gonna say, Diluk?
02:58:54.079 --> 02:58:58.399
Uh could I just boast that I won the uh the long held note competition?
02:58:58.639 --> 02:58:59.120
Yes.
02:58:59.360 --> 02:59:01.280
Uh Congratulations.
02:59:01.520 --> 02:59:11.920
Yeah, in in the stems, Diluk that's uh that entire held note thing is like 16 seconds, I think.
02:59:12.319 --> 02:59:14.799
Uh mine is the first to die off.
02:59:15.040 --> 02:59:18.719
Um not because mostly because I couldn't.
02:59:18.879 --> 02:59:28.159
Uh I left it in there without like doing a crossfade out where the note kind of dies off in a very you know, Roger Waters like Pink Floyd.
02:59:28.399 --> 02:59:32.079
Like it's part of the emotion, is the like I can't give anymore.
02:59:32.399 --> 02:59:35.280
Which is how I justify being bad at at singing.
02:59:36.799 --> 02:59:37.920
I gave that one a good run.
02:59:41.280 --> 02:59:45.280
I I gave that long note a good run, but no, Dialogue had it hands down.
02:59:45.600 --> 02:59:47.280
Dialogue is the champ there.
02:59:47.520 --> 03:00:07.600
Um so VQ provided the vast majority of the vocal harmonies for the verses and the choruses, although her takes were almost like they were so overlapping the same register as me that it like you would not be able to hear her in the mix.
03:00:07.760 --> 03:00:16.079
Um through the magic of melodyne, which um melodyne cannot fix your take, but it can certainly change the pitch of it.
03:00:16.319 --> 03:00:22.239
Uh, you can hear VQ a lot more clearly because I I've boosted her up in octave.
03:00:22.399 --> 03:00:39.360
It's a thing that I don't like to do for a lot of vocals because I don't like to alter them fundamentally, but there would be no way to bring out her voice in this piece without doing so because there's there's a hundred and ten instrument tracks and almost all of them are in the mids.
03:00:39.600 --> 03:00:41.680
Like I had to make sacrifices.
03:00:41.840 --> 03:00:44.319
I altered mine uh worse.
03:00:44.559 --> 03:00:49.360
The uh there's a lot of vocal harmony in there that's like, hmm, I I could not actually sing that.
03:00:49.440 --> 03:00:52.879
That's thank goodness for modern technology.
03:00:53.200 --> 03:01:00.239
And fortunately, the vocal harmony, the protein of a sandwich, is lying in a lovely bed of lush vegetables.
03:01:00.479 --> 03:01:04.719
By which I mean woodwind parts that I played in on an Ewe.
03:01:05.120 --> 03:01:13.520
And I can only think that it's a sign of good things from the judges that none of the feedback involves any criticism about those things.
03:01:13.760 --> 03:01:20.799
Because most of the time my attempts with orchestral stuff involve uh the samples getting exposed and it sounding fake as hell.
03:01:21.040 --> 03:01:36.159
Oh yeah, uh the the one issue that the the judges have, and I agree, um, is the the processing that I did on the vocal stacks um makes them really brittle in the the upper mids.
03:01:36.399 --> 03:01:46.000
I did the the there's the there's a recording technique that they did in the 60s because of the tech and needing to do it, and if you do it now, it does not super help.
03:01:46.159 --> 03:01:52.879
Um it's the Dolby tape or the Dolby A layer tape effect, where I'm not gonna get super nerdy about it.
03:01:53.040 --> 03:02:03.920
You basically just oversaturate the the signal such that uh you reduce a lot of like tape hiss and recover some of signal back.
03:02:04.079 --> 03:02:13.680
Like when you're recording to tape, like you lose a lot of things to tape hiss because of signal, and they found uh you know, a wonderful recording engineer found a way to fix that.
03:02:13.840 --> 03:02:21.520
You don't have to do it now because we don't record to tape typically in our bedrooms, we're recording you know digitally to a disc.
03:02:22.000 --> 03:02:30.719
So uh rightfully so they called out that like the the vocals are kind of brittle and in some places a tiny bit piercing depending on your setup.
03:02:30.879 --> 03:02:35.840
So if I if I was going to do if I was gonna remix this remix, I would fix that.
03:02:35.920 --> 03:02:36.959
But it is what it is.
03:02:37.040 --> 03:02:42.559
I think it's good enough to not only be on the album but to join that catalog entirely.
03:02:42.799 --> 03:02:48.799
Uh a great pivot from the track, uh uh, unless anyone has other things they want to say.
03:02:49.040 --> 03:03:01.520
Well, the other thing I was gonna say was basically uh probably the pivot that I'm thinking of is that um it the album ends with uh a remix of a remix of the prelude and it starts with a remix of a remix of a prelude.
03:03:01.760 --> 03:03:02.559
Exactly.
03:03:02.879 --> 03:03:03.760
Let's pivot.
03:03:04.000 --> 03:03:04.719
Zalef.
03:03:05.120 --> 03:03:10.559
When I first started this mix, it was um the reason I started this mix was actually because I just I really love the game, right?
03:03:10.639 --> 03:03:20.000
So like when when I heard this version of of the prelude in the minor key with the alternate melody, uh when I first started playing the game, um I thought it was amazing.
03:03:20.079 --> 03:03:28.319
Like I was just like just blown away, like how how clever it was that they that they made such a change and it just fit the theme really, really well.
03:03:28.479 --> 03:03:31.280
Like it it fits the the the tone of the game.
03:03:31.440 --> 03:03:34.399
Um I thought thought they did a great job.
03:03:40.319 --> 03:03:40.959
Yeah.
03:03:43.360 --> 03:03:44.000
Yeah.
03:03:47.200 --> 03:03:53.440
No chains, no lies, no shadow past for me to flee.
03:03:54.079 --> 03:03:58.799
I face this truth, and it is time to set free.
03:03:59.120 --> 03:04:01.680
To fight or run is easy, I know.
03:04:02.079 --> 03:04:05.520
Easier than facing the truth of what I must let go.
03:04:05.840 --> 03:04:08.559
Here I stand, a burden mind to bear.
03:04:08.639 --> 03:04:10.000
I must declare.
03:04:10.239 --> 03:04:15.760
I've wandered long through the mist of blood and flame with a sword in my hand, forced to fight for my name.
03:04:16.399 --> 03:04:28.159
Um, so like I I really wanted to to do like a mix on this, and I was like, okay, well, I wanted to do something where it was um I I I wanted some kind of some kind of wrapping with it.
03:04:28.239 --> 03:04:36.879
Like I I I thought you know it could either be trap, it could be like um with some of the older, like you know, like the 90s rap where where it's like a little faster.
03:04:37.200 --> 03:04:40.959
Um and so initially I started with that where it's like kind of like cake.
03:04:41.200 --> 03:04:47.280
Um and when I pulled on, like so I was asking several rappers if they'd be interested.
03:04:47.840 --> 03:04:54.000
Um and I was really surprised that Mega Ran actually responded and he was he was interested.
03:04:54.479 --> 03:04:58.159
Um you know, so like I thought he'd be the the perfect fit.
03:04:58.239 --> 03:05:02.319
I wasn't sure of like what a schedule looked like or if he'd be even interested.
03:05:02.479 --> 03:05:06.079
Um and I was just really excited that that he said yes.
03:05:06.319 --> 03:05:23.440
So I showed him the original idea, and I said, Well, I you know, I'm also thinking about doing something like like a Psytrance trap as well, but I'm not sure, you know, like here's like a general idea of of where that would go, and I gave him like a really short clip on that, and he was like, actually, that second one sounds really good, and so that's what we went with.
03:05:23.600 --> 03:05:33.200
So we um so I actually have a a mix of this, and it's it's like so I basically put that away and re-redid the whole thing, right?
03:05:33.520 --> 03:05:39.600
Um, and in doing so, like we wanted us to have like some some orchestral uh sounds in this.
03:05:39.840 --> 03:05:43.120
Um, and I was able to pull in uh point blanket.
03:05:43.360 --> 03:05:48.319
Um uh his name is Alex, and uh he he he did a great job with the violins.
03:05:48.399 --> 03:05:54.719
Um, and uh I was able to uh to convince my daughter to to help me out with with with this mix as well.
03:05:54.799 --> 03:06:00.159
So I was I was I was really excited that that that she was able to um uh to sing for this.
03:06:00.399 --> 03:06:02.959
Um but yeah, so it was it was it was a lot of fun.
03:06:03.040 --> 03:06:14.479
Um I'd say um the rec the recordings, like normally I have to do a lot of like sound editing and like you know, I I don't have melodin, but I have something very, very similar.
03:06:14.799 --> 03:06:22.000
Um I normally have to do stuff with that, um, but with the artist that recorded, I had very little work I needed to do.
03:06:22.559 --> 03:06:33.600
Um so I spent a lot more of the time in the overall like the arrangement of the song, um, and then of course then like the the the mix and master at the end, um kind of playing around with that.
03:06:34.079 --> 03:06:40.719
Um but yeah, I mean like the it was I I was just really excited how well everything just kind of put um kind of came together.
03:06:40.959 --> 03:06:49.760
Uh one one of the things I really tried to do was also put in um like like a chiptune kind of throwback to the original prelude.
03:06:49.840 --> 03:06:55.680
Um, you know, and I was trying to figure out how to do that if I wanted to do it throughout the whole song or if I wanted to make it just clever in the middle.
03:06:55.920 --> 03:07:08.559
Um and so I put it there, and I think the last thing, um, I initially had a version of the song as well, like of this of the Psytrance trap song, and it was much harder and much heavier.
03:07:08.799 --> 03:07:14.879
Um, and if you listen to a lot of my music, usually I I like things that are like you know pretty heavy.
03:07:15.040 --> 03:07:17.360
Um or or at least very fast.
03:07:17.840 --> 03:07:23.600
And what I did instead is in like the very end, instead of having it build up and be really heavy, I basically pulled everything out.
03:07:23.680 --> 03:07:27.200
So it's just the violin, and it sounds so good.
03:07:27.360 --> 03:07:29.600
I was just like, yeah, this is exactly what it needs to do.
03:07:29.840 --> 03:07:37.360
So the the original plan was to have a build up, and I I felt like that was the ending, was was was basically pulling everything out.
03:07:38.079 --> 03:07:41.520
Um anyways, yep, I I think that's that that's a good overview.
03:07:41.600 --> 03:07:44.879
I I really enjoyed making this this this mix, it was it was a lot of fun.
03:07:45.520 --> 03:07:46.719
And it's a great mix.
03:07:46.799 --> 03:07:48.639
Uh I absolutely adored it.
03:07:48.719 --> 03:07:57.520
And it's like uh again, I don't I my musical vocabulary is crap, but like there's just something special about the Final Fantasy prelude.
03:07:57.680 --> 03:08:07.920
It's timeless, and whenever someone works it into a mix in any way, shape, or form, I it I'm just grinning the whole time.
03:08:08.159 --> 03:08:18.879
Um The other thing I wanted to say is um of all of the people involved in this album, I think Mega Ran is the only one I've met in person.
03:08:19.040 --> 03:08:24.559
Um, but that was in the concept uh like in the context of buying a t-shirt at a concert.
03:08:24.799 --> 03:08:32.719
So um I he seemed like a cool dude, and it it sounds like working with him was a breeze.
03:08:33.120 --> 03:08:42.079
Yeah, it was um I actually asked him while he was in the middle of touring, so he stopped by a recording studio um to to send out some things and then went back to touring again.
03:08:42.159 --> 03:08:43.360
Like it was it's crazy like that.
03:08:43.440 --> 03:08:44.159
He actually did that for us.
03:08:44.239 --> 03:08:45.360
So man, what a challenge.
03:08:45.840 --> 03:08:46.559
Really appreciative.
03:08:46.719 --> 03:08:48.000
I know, I'm so appreciative.
03:08:48.239 --> 03:08:49.280
I'm blanking on this.
03:08:49.360 --> 03:08:52.319
He's been on some remixes before, I'm sure.
03:08:52.559 --> 03:09:02.719
Uh he was on uh one from the last time he was on Overclock Remix was from uh the uh Super Dodgeball album Around the World.
03:09:02.959 --> 03:09:04.479
And um, yep, yep.
03:09:04.799 --> 03:09:10.079
So it's been some years, and I actually um make a joke about that on in the web notes.
03:09:10.239 --> 03:09:14.319
But it's it's um um but it was just just to have him back.
03:09:14.399 --> 03:09:20.399
And I mean in that one he's all sort of um you know this this is a this is a joke track, this is this is funny.
03:09:20.639 --> 03:09:43.840
Here he's shows a sort of a more serious introspective side, and um just paired with um Audiomin's singing and especially Point Lincoln's violin, there's there's a moment I think it's at the start of the second verse where the handover is just so brilliant, and it's just like oh it's um it gets me every time.
03:09:44.239 --> 03:09:55.760
I do love that uh Zalith and I picked Masayoshi Sokin tracks that have Uimatsu either in them or the DNA of Ui Matsu in them.
03:09:56.399 --> 03:09:58.479
That's a that's a really great call out.
03:09:58.959 --> 03:10:01.520
It that's it it's very time shift.
03:10:01.920 --> 03:10:05.520
Like uh to take the prelude and then new spinning.
03:10:05.920 --> 03:10:12.000
The OG Final Fantasy composer and I mean the most recent Final Fantasy composer.
03:10:12.399 --> 03:10:12.719
Right.
03:10:13.280 --> 03:10:16.879
Um which I I gotta get something on my chest.
03:10:16.959 --> 03:10:19.600
I do love Masayoshi Sokin.
03:10:19.680 --> 03:10:22.559
Uh I think his soundtracks are fantastic.
03:10:22.799 --> 03:10:31.680
I was a bit sad that they didn't get Yoko Shimamura to do 16 also, because 15 was I I just adore Yokoshimamura.
03:10:32.319 --> 03:10:37.920
I think Shimamura and Sokin on the same OST would be goaded.
03:10:38.479 --> 03:10:40.000
That would be amazing.
03:10:40.319 --> 03:10:41.200
I guess we'll see.
03:10:42.159 --> 03:10:46.399
We'll see for uh Final Fantasy 17 if maybe that happens.
03:10:46.639 --> 03:10:51.680
Uh the the the other one I'm pulling for for 17 is um I'm blanking on his name.
03:10:51.840 --> 03:10:53.600
The lead composer for Nier.
03:10:54.079 --> 03:10:56.559
Oh, oh, Yokotaro.
03:10:56.799 --> 03:10:59.840
Oh my god, that would be amazing.
03:11:00.479 --> 03:11:03.440
Um Square has a lot of musical talent.
03:11:03.680 --> 03:11:05.600
Um they they got stuff.
03:11:05.760 --> 03:11:07.840
They got the people, they got the tech.
03:11:08.399 --> 03:11:10.399
Uh, I guess it's my turn, huh?
03:11:10.639 --> 03:11:30.000
Um, so I alluded to this earlier, but uh, you know, given the whole album, uh, and its concept and what it's about, and you know, it's it's the 25th anniversary of Overclocked Remix, and you know, now uh well, I say that, now it's the 26th birthday.
03:11:30.159 --> 03:11:32.399
OC Remix can rent a car now.
03:11:32.559 --> 03:11:41.120
Um and uh so my criterion for selecting a track was what hit me in the nostalgia the hardest.
03:11:41.520 --> 03:12:04.319
And I've never played Outer Wilds, uh, and I'm not familiar with the soundtrack at all, but uh Ridley Snipes' uh known unknowns jumped out at me immediately uh as just an absolutely nostalgic track.
03:12:55.600 --> 03:13:14.879
Um and I was trying to figure out what does this remind me of, and it reminds me of a specific OC remix from 2006 by Dragon Avenger and E Fields called Summoner's Love from Final Fantasy X.
03:13:15.520 --> 03:13:17.360
Uh, which classic.
03:13:17.600 --> 03:13:40.319
Uh an absolute classic, and also like that track and the vocals and also that time in my life, because like 2006 is around when like I was breaking up with my first real girlfriend, uh, and like so none unknown uh known unknowns just hit me in the nostalgia so hard.
03:13:41.040 --> 03:13:50.879
Um but again, I don't have any musical vocabulary, so while I have all these talented people here, please also talk about none uh known unknowns for me.
03:13:51.280 --> 03:13:52.719
It made me go play the game.
03:13:53.120 --> 03:13:54.479
And I'm so glad I did.
03:13:54.799 --> 03:14:01.840
Uh okay, well, I don't know if we'll keep this part in the podcast itself, but tell me a little about the game, because I I know basically nothing.
03:14:02.399 --> 03:14:15.440
Uh to Okay, it's it's one of those games that's um I think it's best described as going to uh going on a hike to the top of Mount Fuji to see the sunrise.
03:14:15.600 --> 03:14:20.799
You would only ever do it once, but it's so worth uh the effort of going to do it.
03:14:20.959 --> 03:14:22.639
That's what Outer Wilds is like.
03:14:22.799 --> 03:14:26.000
It's um incredible piece of art.
03:14:26.159 --> 03:14:29.600
It's uh I go as far as to say it is gaming literature.
03:14:29.840 --> 03:14:38.959
Um and just you can't really describe uh the gameplay of the game without giving entirely the game away.
03:14:39.280 --> 03:14:39.760
Oh yeah.
03:14:40.639 --> 03:14:42.079
Count me in, I'm sold now.
03:14:42.159 --> 03:14:50.399
That's a what it'd be safe to say it's like you only got one life, even though you repeat things uh like in in in your own real life.
03:14:50.479 --> 03:14:53.680
Like that's it's kind of like an uh allegory for that.
03:14:54.319 --> 03:14:59.840
I mean, I think Outer Wilds is also that sort of game that it means something to different people.
03:15:00.159 --> 03:15:12.719
Um and I think what Ridley did with it um was basically it was just like here, I I've got a little bit of a of a snippet of of the tune from Outer Wilds, and I was like, oh, that's really good.
03:15:12.879 --> 03:15:15.600
Uh I don't really know this game, I don't know this theme.
03:15:15.760 --> 03:15:24.399
And so I looked into it, looked into the original theme, and oh my gosh, the the original is just full of full of feels and uh quickly messages.
03:15:27.120 --> 03:15:31.200
Even did a uh a Minecraft remix album in that style recently.
03:15:31.440 --> 03:15:33.040
Oh, I've got to listen to that then.
03:15:33.200 --> 03:15:34.319
That's great, yeah.
03:15:34.559 --> 03:15:48.079
Yeah, the the Outer Wilds theme quickly made its way into my list of favorite um video game tunes, um, just because of how heartfelt and how um I mean, in a way, it it's nostalgic as well.
03:15:48.319 --> 03:15:51.600
It's got a very uh nostalgia-inducing chord progression.
03:15:51.680 --> 03:15:56.239
It's it's just um um ascending through 4565.
03:15:56.719 --> 03:16:00.799
Um but it's um but just what gets down on top of that.
03:16:00.879 --> 03:16:11.120
And um Ridley just basically took the the essence of that, gave it a bit of uh an uplifting EDM.
03:16:11.520 --> 03:16:17.440
Um I don't want to say synth, but it's sort of a a pop um pop EDM feel to it.
03:16:17.680 --> 03:16:25.280
Um, but it's got these whisp moments of whistling in it, and uh they send shivers down my spine every time when I hear it.
03:16:25.440 --> 03:16:29.520
So um yeah, it's it it's a fantastic one.
03:16:29.600 --> 03:16:34.399
It was the one that I was going to do until Zach uh took no nine.
03:16:34.719 --> 03:16:35.120
Me too.
03:16:35.200 --> 03:16:43.440
I was yeah, just because uh the outerwild soundtrack is it's pretty uh one of the perks of being the podcast host is Dibbs.
03:16:43.760 --> 03:16:45.280
You know, that's valid.
03:16:45.520 --> 03:16:55.600
Um I gotta say, any any track with uh with electronic or synth percussion that uses snaps instead of claps, I'm immediately on board.
03:16:55.840 --> 03:16:57.040
I love claps.
03:16:57.200 --> 03:17:01.840
There's something just so very tasty about snap samples though.
03:17:02.079 --> 03:17:05.280
Um yeah, I'm apparently that's my weakness.
03:17:05.440 --> 03:17:06.719
Put snaps in your track.
03:17:07.040 --> 03:17:12.879
Alright, you heard it here first if you want to get at least one yes out of the judges panel.
03:17:13.120 --> 03:17:21.680
Okay, but I worked with um Ridley Snipes on on a few different songs, and it was really cool to kind of see his workflow, and I'm sure he did the same thing here.
03:17:21.840 --> 03:17:27.200
Um so like he he really uses reference tracks like pretty religiously.
03:17:27.360 --> 03:17:34.399
Uh, and he'll and he does a lot of wave editing directly um in in his IDE to basically make it work.
03:17:34.479 --> 03:17:39.200
So every every one of his tracks, it's it it ends up being some kind of wave that he's basically sculpting.
03:17:39.440 --> 03:17:48.000
Um and it's I've seen this process a few different places, uh, and it's amazing um to to to kind of see it come through and it it sounds amazing.
03:17:49.520 --> 03:17:52.399
I like just to add as a I mean Oh go ahead.
03:17:52.479 --> 03:17:58.639
Go ahead before we move on to uh the uh the devil who who came by as we talked about.
03:17:59.360 --> 03:18:10.719
Um I not in any like music theory or anything like that, but the f this song is just fun and kind of uplifting and it kind of just makes you feel good.
03:18:11.920 --> 03:18:14.959
Which I which one of the reasons I wanted to pick this remix too.
03:18:16.479 --> 03:18:19.920
You know, it can get you out of a bad mood if you really want if you listen to it.
03:18:20.000 --> 03:18:21.440
It's one of those type of tracks.
03:18:21.760 --> 03:18:26.799
I put it after um the Stellaris one for that purpose because it's uplifting.
03:18:27.040 --> 03:18:33.360
Whereas the Stellaris uh one that Movius did um is basically the lights are going out.
03:18:33.760 --> 03:18:37.600
So um I needed something just to come back from that.
03:18:37.760 --> 03:18:41.600
So it's the perfect um the perfect um reply.
03:18:42.000 --> 03:18:43.200
Tell it cleaner, right?
03:18:43.360 --> 03:18:43.760
Yeah, yeah.
03:18:44.239 --> 03:18:56.479
I guess in a sense, being an album director is sort of like being able to ask a bunch of cool people to make music and then like turning it into the best mixtape you can make out of that.
03:18:56.879 --> 03:18:59.120
One of the best things you can do when you do an album.
03:18:59.280 --> 03:19:01.440
Yeah, that that's that's always a good feeling.
03:19:01.680 --> 03:19:13.040
Yeah, one of one of the fun things that I had about this, um, I mean, I've I've still got the um uh the Google Document spreadsheet somewhere where I basically just put air all the tracks out, okay, here are their lengths.
03:19:13.120 --> 03:19:14.959
How am I going to organize this?
03:19:15.040 --> 03:19:20.079
And I was just um just building it is basically like building a mixtape.
03:19:20.159 --> 03:19:24.799
It's like, okay, I want to put this track here, what do I put around this track?
03:19:24.959 --> 03:19:26.639
Or okay, this is the mood of this.
03:19:26.879 --> 03:19:33.280
I want a crest here, I want I want a fall here, I want a um uh a shift in mood.
03:19:33.440 --> 03:19:38.399
Um like I said, the whole of Indigo was built around 100% Roma's track.
03:19:38.559 --> 03:19:43.920
Um it just builds up to that before uh Morgan um is the palacleanser.
03:19:44.159 --> 03:19:53.200
And um that was one of one of the most fun things I did, and then it was basically at the end of it, it was saying, like, okay folks, here's the order, tell me what you think.
03:19:53.360 --> 03:19:56.079
And um I don't think I got any complaints.
03:19:56.319 --> 03:20:16.079
Now, given the concept of the album, I feel like I need to say um mostly for JSA Blixer, um, a tape is like a sort of little cartridge that has music on it, and a mixtape is when you put whatever music you want on a tape in whatever order you want.
03:20:16.399 --> 03:20:21.200
Well, we could get a little bit more-it's a magnetic strip in a plastic casing.
03:20:21.360 --> 03:20:30.719
That uh so I think this is a good time to segue in into a wild Larry appeared.
03:20:33.120 --> 03:20:36.000
Okay, your face lit up, but I didn't hear anything.
03:20:36.799 --> 03:20:38.159
Just gave some grunts.
03:20:43.840 --> 03:20:48.319
Uh Lion Tamer, would you like to introduce yourself to the nice people?
03:20:49.280 --> 03:20:50.319
Oh hey.
03:20:50.719 --> 03:20:51.760
Good evening.
03:20:52.399 --> 03:20:59.920
This is Larry OG, aka Lion Tamer, one of the evil judges at Overclock Remix.
03:21:00.079 --> 03:21:02.000
I've been a judge for a long time.
03:21:02.239 --> 03:21:06.479
Somewhere around 359 years.
03:21:07.040 --> 03:21:08.319
Sounds accurate to me.
03:21:08.879 --> 03:21:10.719
Yeah, something around there.
03:21:10.799 --> 03:21:21.760
I'm also the community manager of OC Remix, which means handling all the social media business, all the social media stuffs and interactions with the with the beeps.
03:21:22.239 --> 03:21:24.959
And uh I like video game music.
03:21:25.280 --> 03:21:30.799
Now, as I recall, you are also the person who encouraged me to start this podcast.
03:21:31.120 --> 03:21:34.959
I I mean, uh you really you're blaming me?
03:21:35.280 --> 03:21:36.719
I am blaming you, yes.
03:21:36.959 --> 03:21:50.000
You know, about a year ago we did like uh birthday uh shindig on Discord, and I hopped on and I mentioned that like hey, I missed the old OCR pod.
03:21:50.319 --> 03:21:53.760
Uh someone should do something do another one.
03:21:53.920 --> 03:21:55.520
And you were like, Where are this starting?
03:21:56.079 --> 03:21:58.879
I said I said, get off my damn back, is what I said.
03:21:59.120 --> 03:22:01.280
I think something like that.
03:22:01.440 --> 03:22:03.600
And then yeah, you took it and ran.
03:22:03.680 --> 03:22:07.200
You were like, oh yeah, well, I'll show you, you stupid summer.
03:22:07.840 --> 03:22:11.920
And I went, oh, oh yeah, I'd like to see you try, partner.
03:22:12.559 --> 03:22:14.319
And uh I did for the album.
03:22:14.479 --> 03:22:23.120
Uh basically I was like, hey, uh, yeah, we let let's make an album for the 25th anniversary, and then two days later it's like, oh, I should direct this, shouldn't I?
03:22:23.920 --> 03:22:25.200
That's how it happens.
03:22:25.360 --> 03:22:27.040
That's that's always how it happens.
03:22:27.280 --> 03:22:30.159
We told you, Larry OG never breaks kayfabe.
03:22:30.479 --> 03:22:31.920
I excuse me.
03:22:32.079 --> 03:22:42.000
I mean, well, I mean, I I feel like I I just showed up and was was was was was attacked verbally attacked, but anyway, that's okay.
03:22:42.159 --> 03:22:47.840
And I was blamed for this show, which is you know, that's uh that that takes the cake right there.
03:22:47.920 --> 03:22:51.120
Like, oh, don't blame me for your your your show, dude.
03:22:52.319 --> 03:22:55.200
I mean it's the term voluntold, yeah.
03:22:55.360 --> 03:22:59.440
See, yeah, I was I was voluntold to do the show by Larry.
03:22:59.680 --> 03:23:08.159
Um I had already taken the step of buying a semi-nice microphone because I had this in the back of my head.
03:23:08.479 --> 03:23:08.799
See?
03:23:09.360 --> 03:23:12.239
So I was like, alright, I've got the microphone already.
03:23:12.319 --> 03:23:13.680
I'll I will do this.
03:23:13.920 --> 03:23:21.040
I believe it was Gandhi from Sid Meyer's Civilization who said, be the change you wish to see in the world shortly before nuking your country.
03:23:23.120 --> 03:23:24.959
Dude, I will sick chuck.
03:23:25.280 --> 03:23:38.479
I once, I once, no lie, my senior year in college, I had uh a roommate, a friend of mine, one of my roommates, he skipped a final to play Civilization 3.
03:23:40.799 --> 03:23:42.319
He still graduated.
03:23:42.479 --> 03:23:47.360
I don't know, I don't know how, but I mean that that that's how good the game is.
03:23:47.440 --> 03:23:51.920
And that's why I never played it uh beyond Civilization 1.
03:23:52.159 --> 03:23:55.360
Because it's one of it's also why I stopped playing Pokemon Go.
03:23:55.520 --> 03:24:02.000
It wasn't it wasn't like, oh, I got tired of these games, uh, they're just kind of lame, whatever, I'm done, I'm tired.
03:24:02.159 --> 03:24:03.840
No, it was like, oh, you know what?
03:24:04.000 --> 03:24:05.200
These games are too good.
03:24:05.440 --> 03:24:08.000
I'm realizing that they're too, too, too, too good.
03:24:08.159 --> 03:24:11.920
I'm gonna I'm going to leave it there and quit cold turkey.
03:24:13.120 --> 03:24:14.719
Your friend is so based.
03:24:14.959 --> 03:24:22.239
Oh, I was gonna say, I think I've talked about this on the pod before, but like when I was growing up, my mom was really strict about computer use.
03:24:22.399 --> 03:24:29.280
She was like, you've got game consoles for games, the computer is for education only, no games on the computer.
03:24:30.000 --> 03:24:36.479
So consequently, um, Civilization 4 was the first one I played.
03:24:36.719 --> 03:24:39.120
Uh, because that's the one that came out when I was in college.
03:24:39.360 --> 03:24:41.360
Oh, nice, nice, nice, nice.
03:24:41.600 --> 03:24:43.920
What was everybody's first PC game?
03:24:44.239 --> 03:24:46.719
Lemonade Stand on the Apple IIe.
03:24:47.360 --> 03:24:47.840
Digger.
03:24:48.399 --> 03:24:54.319
Uh I definitely played Doom at a friend's house, and I'm trying to remember if I played Wolfenstein before that.
03:24:54.719 --> 03:24:56.639
Played at school or played at home?
03:24:58.479 --> 03:25:01.680
My mind is uh in that case, it's are they gonna be Digger?
03:25:02.159 --> 03:25:04.879
Uh would that be on the ZX Spectrum?
03:25:05.200 --> 03:25:06.639
IBM version.
03:25:06.879 --> 03:25:07.200
Oh.
03:25:07.600 --> 03:25:08.719
Oh sweet.
03:25:08.959 --> 03:25:20.479
Uh if it's at school, it's that weird bug game where you run around trying not to get squished by a dinosaur on the the old Mac G2s.
03:25:20.799 --> 03:25:22.719
Is that what they printed on the box?
03:25:23.040 --> 03:25:24.479
It's I don't remember the name of that.
03:25:24.879 --> 03:25:26.479
That weird game where you don't get squished.
03:25:26.799 --> 03:25:38.639
Basically it's like we had that Mario teaches typing, uh uh Math Blaster and Oregon Trail, and then at home we had the DOS version of Jeopardy.
03:25:38.799 --> 03:25:48.239
And Josh and I were the only ones who could play it because we were the only ones with the patience to type in the uh the terminal to like load it.
03:25:48.319 --> 03:25:58.559
Like my my older brother, Josh and I's older brother and our dad both like gave up out of frustration because they kept inputting the terminal line incorrect.
03:25:58.799 --> 03:25:59.440
Bugdum.
03:25:59.680 --> 03:26:01.120
Bugdum is the name of the game.
03:26:01.200 --> 03:26:01.920
Thank you, Josh.
03:26:02.159 --> 03:26:02.719
Bugdum.
03:26:03.280 --> 03:26:04.000
Oh gosh.
03:26:04.239 --> 03:26:07.120
I haven't thought about Bugdum in a million years.
03:26:07.280 --> 03:26:08.159
Yeah, bugd'em.
03:26:08.399 --> 03:26:09.520
Damn near killed them.
03:26:10.799 --> 03:26:17.520
Yeah, I I don't know if this counts, but my first uh computer game was Mavis Beacon teaches typing.
03:26:19.040 --> 03:26:20.079
Oh yeah.
03:26:20.399 --> 03:26:23.840
Wait, is Mavis Beacon a real person or is she like Betty Crocker?
03:26:24.079 --> 03:26:25.680
She's like Betty Crocker.
03:26:25.840 --> 03:26:37.520
Um, I believe that the face of uh Mavis Beacon, or at least the first one, was a model in like the late 80s, early 90s.
03:26:37.920 --> 03:26:39.280
Did it teach you typing?
03:26:39.440 --> 03:26:40.559
Was it successful?
03:26:40.799 --> 03:26:42.000
Oh yeah, it was.
03:26:42.239 --> 03:26:47.280
So uh my dad was going for a computer science degree.
03:26:47.440 --> 03:26:52.559
Uh he had the math knowledge, but he was a chicken pecker typer.
03:26:52.799 --> 03:27:00.079
He was very slow, and you know, I think one of the professors just told him, hey, I don't think this is right for you.
03:27:00.479 --> 03:27:12.159
So after that day, he bought a copy of Mabispeac and Teaches Typing, and he forced my brothers and I to do it because we had to get our touch typing up.
03:27:12.479 --> 03:27:13.280
Oh man.
03:27:13.920 --> 03:27:15.520
Still chicken type.
03:27:16.559 --> 03:27:17.760
I'm a chicken plucker.
03:27:18.559 --> 03:27:19.840
I guess I'll I'll go.
03:27:20.000 --> 03:27:28.719
I if we're talking in school, it's either Oregon Trail or it was some game that taught me how to we're supposed to teach you how to use levers and pulleys.
03:27:28.879 --> 03:27:30.719
I don't know if anybody else has played that.
03:27:31.200 --> 03:27:34.399
Uh yeah, that's what yeah.
03:27:34.879 --> 03:27:35.440
Maybe.
03:27:35.600 --> 03:27:37.280
Uh I don't even remember what it was called.
03:27:37.360 --> 03:27:42.799
It was just like a really basic game that had like a really deep kind of gameplay feel.
03:27:42.959 --> 03:27:45.920
Um then at home, I think.
03:27:47.600 --> 03:27:53.200
At home, I so does anybody rem did anybody read Wizard uh magazine when they were kids?
03:27:53.520 --> 03:27:54.159
Absolutely.
03:27:54.319 --> 03:28:03.120
That was my favorite present when I was uh when I was 11, Santa gave me a copy of Wizard number 41 with Cyclops on the cover back in 1993.
03:28:03.200 --> 03:28:04.239
Thank you, Santa.
03:28:04.479 --> 03:28:08.559
Well, they had a contest where they gave away Duke Nukem 3D.
03:28:08.879 --> 03:28:12.959
And I'm super underage at that point for that day.
03:28:13.440 --> 03:28:15.440
But I entered the contest anyway, and I won.
03:28:15.520 --> 03:28:22.000
I won like a uh Duke Nukem action figure, I won a t-shirt, and I won the PC game.
03:28:22.239 --> 03:28:23.680
Oh what did they say?
03:28:24.159 --> 03:28:28.000
And I put that thing on and I played it, and I was like, I don't, I this is great.
03:28:28.079 --> 03:28:32.239
You know, I didn't think anything of it, but really irresponsible to them, but I am so glad.
03:28:32.319 --> 03:28:33.600
Uh amazing.
03:28:35.600 --> 03:28:36.799
You heard it here, folks.
03:28:37.200 --> 03:28:39.520
DLP has balls of steel.
03:28:39.920 --> 03:28:41.680
I've got balls of steel.
03:28:41.920 --> 03:28:43.920
Balls, balls, balls, balls of steel.
03:28:44.159 --> 03:28:44.639
Where is it?
03:28:48.159 --> 03:28:49.840
Oh, that's a lot of words.
03:28:50.000 --> 03:28:51.760
Too bad I'm not reading them.
03:28:52.479 --> 03:28:52.959
Ruby.
03:28:55.920 --> 03:29:00.959
Played the original um 2D platformer Juke Nukin.
03:29:02.639 --> 03:29:03.360
Not at all.
03:29:03.680 --> 03:29:07.200
Oh, I had it as a demo on the second PC we had.
03:29:08.239 --> 03:29:09.200
Uh, Larry.
03:29:09.360 --> 03:29:11.520
Coming in coming into this, you had homework.
03:29:11.600 --> 03:29:16.319
Uh, and that homework was pick a track from Time Shift you want to talk about, so.
03:29:16.799 --> 03:29:17.120
Oh.
03:29:17.360 --> 03:29:18.559
What do you mean huh?
03:29:18.799 --> 03:29:21.840
I have to talk about video game music?
03:29:22.000 --> 03:29:24.000
Like, dude, what do you take me for?
03:29:24.319 --> 03:29:25.440
I just don't get it.
03:29:26.159 --> 03:29:27.200
Do it for McRib?
03:29:27.600 --> 03:29:28.239
Oh, well?
03:29:28.639 --> 03:29:31.760
Oh, I feel like this turned into a Claude Dankbar commercial.
03:29:31.920 --> 03:29:33.920
Well, we're not for Claude Dankbar.
03:29:34.079 --> 03:29:36.159
Well, oh two Mick Ribs.
03:29:36.559 --> 03:29:36.879
Oh.
03:29:37.280 --> 03:29:44.000
Uh oh well, you know, I have had I have had three McRibs this season, so uh we're doing pretty good.
03:29:44.079 --> 03:29:44.879
I'm pretty happy.
03:29:45.200 --> 03:29:46.479
Mick rib season.
03:29:46.719 --> 03:29:48.559
Look, Larry, we know what you are.
03:29:48.719 --> 03:29:50.639
We're just describing, you know, price.
03:29:50.799 --> 03:29:52.079
We're negotiating price.
03:29:52.239 --> 03:29:52.719
Mm-hmm.
03:29:52.879 --> 03:29:53.840
I understand.
03:29:54.159 --> 03:29:54.799
Wow.
03:29:55.040 --> 03:29:57.840
That's such a mean thing to say, you little comedian.
03:29:57.920 --> 03:30:01.680
You so I'm supposed to talk about a track from Time Ship.
03:30:01.840 --> 03:30:02.239
Alright.
03:30:02.319 --> 03:30:18.079
Well, I'm gonna talk about something that nobody else has talked about because you guys are all terrible people and then are refusing to recognize the greatness of uh of this track, which was Eurito, which I'm sure Zach has probably called Jorido, like Tony More.
03:30:18.479 --> 03:30:23.040
I definitely have or like Dorito, like a Dorito eating chip.
03:30:23.280 --> 03:30:31.520
So we had Eurito featuring Siren Star, some goofist, and then prophetic music.
03:30:31.760 --> 03:30:34.959
And so uh there were uh oh pixel step.
03:30:35.040 --> 03:30:42.799
Yes, pixel's the queen of the step.
03:30:43.440 --> 03:30:55.680
She's here to the staff and so fright.
03:31:06.479 --> 03:31:08.879
She is the queen of the night.
03:31:10.479 --> 03:31:11.520
Yes, yes, yes.
03:31:11.680 --> 03:31:13.600
So uh yeah, butted.
03:31:14.159 --> 03:31:26.319
So I just listen, I am a child of the 80s, so I wasn't around during the the disco era, but of course I have a healthy appreciation for uh the groove, as it were.
03:31:26.479 --> 03:31:32.799
So Queen of the Groove is a Final Fantasy VII rebirth arrangement marshaled by Eurito.
03:31:33.120 --> 03:31:41.520
And listen, I've said this in write-ups about some of the stuff that she has been involved with, but Siren Star is an amazing vocalist.
03:31:41.600 --> 03:31:47.040
I'm sure everybody here on our little recording can agree that she's awesome.
03:31:47.280 --> 03:31:58.719
So I love hearing her tap into her inner disco diva, and then of course, Pixel Seth and Prophetic Music bring the groove, as it were.
03:31:58.879 --> 03:32:07.040
Uh Seth, do you mind commenting on, you know, sort of uh how you channel the groove, like how how how you become one with the groove?
03:32:07.440 --> 03:32:10.000
But yeah, uh where'd you get your groove bias?
03:32:10.239 --> 03:32:13.360
First, you uh like all things, you must create the universe.
03:32:13.520 --> 03:32:18.959
No, uh, Eurita reached out and was like, hey, I'm I need some guitars for this disco track.
03:32:19.120 --> 03:32:24.159
Uh and I'm not typically a disco guitar player, but I'll do anything for a McRib.
03:32:24.399 --> 03:32:26.079
I mean, I'll do anything once.
03:32:26.399 --> 03:32:31.280
And uh and I just finished building a clean guitar patch for it.
03:32:31.360 --> 03:32:33.120
I was like, sure, yeah, let me let me give it a shot.
03:32:33.280 --> 03:32:33.920
He's like, cool.
03:32:34.000 --> 03:32:37.360
Uh I don't need any lead guitar stuff, it's just rhythm work.
03:32:37.440 --> 03:32:42.959
And I was like, cool, and I cut him a lead guitar track that he did not put in the final mix anyway.
03:32:44.719 --> 03:32:45.680
And that's fine.
03:32:45.760 --> 03:32:50.079
Uh I I actually appreciate that he didn't because Siren Star's vocal is killer.
03:32:50.319 --> 03:32:54.959
Prof did some amazing sax work on it, and I'm super saxy.
03:32:55.360 --> 03:32:57.520
It's very, it's very tasty.
03:32:57.760 --> 03:33:09.280
I I really like listening to that track in the work in progress and like hearing it come about, like I I think Eurito came fairly late to the album coming together.
03:33:09.440 --> 03:33:14.399
Like uh he was in what the last two passes in the workshop?
03:33:14.879 --> 03:33:23.280
Things happened, and then uh he um came back later and it's like, oh yeah, and he by the way, here's this uh disco thing.
03:33:23.440 --> 03:33:24.639
Like, okay.
03:33:25.120 --> 03:33:25.680
Wow.
03:33:25.920 --> 03:33:32.319
So, but yeah, yeah, I got to see this um grow as well, and it was fantastic uh watching it blossom.
03:33:32.639 --> 03:33:36.639
Uh to answer your question, Larry, to get the groove, you just play syncopated.
03:33:37.200 --> 03:33:41.600
Uh that I don't know a way to say that without using musician terms.
03:33:41.680 --> 03:33:43.520
So that's that's the beginning and the end of that.
03:33:43.840 --> 03:33:45.040
Just play a hard beat.
03:33:46.000 --> 03:33:56.719
I have uh two things to say about this track, and um one of them is a statement, and the other is a question.
03:33:57.040 --> 03:34:02.000
Uh, and I'm going to start with a question because I've lost my train of thought and I've forgotten the statement.
03:34:02.239 --> 03:34:03.840
Uh, it's late.
03:34:04.479 --> 03:34:16.319
Uh and the question is: I am a bad person, and I haven't played uh Final Fantasy VII Rebirth yet, and I need to know in what context is the Source Tune played.
03:34:16.639 --> 03:34:17.600
You're gonna love this.
03:34:17.760 --> 03:34:20.559
Uh so Queen's Blood is a card game.
03:34:20.799 --> 03:34:23.680
It's a m it's the card mini game from Rebirth.
03:34:24.319 --> 03:34:25.920
Oh, I okay.
03:34:26.159 --> 03:34:32.479
I've heard that it has a very good card mini-game, like easily the best since Triple Triad.
03:34:32.799 --> 03:34:43.040
There are people who uh definitely don't like it and they don't like the way that the minigame has certain if you want everything in the game, you gotta play the minigame.
03:34:43.120 --> 03:34:44.799
Like they don't like the aspect of it.
03:34:45.040 --> 03:34:47.200
Tactically, it's very fun.
03:34:47.440 --> 03:34:52.719
The music, uh the source tune doesn't sound anything like the remix, which we love.
03:34:52.959 --> 03:34:56.799
Yeah, we love when the remix elevates the source.
03:34:57.040 --> 03:34:59.280
Well, what would you what would you call the original source?
03:34:59.360 --> 03:35:18.559
Because it's almost kind of like a uh almost feels like an I'm not an anime connoisseur, but something that you would hear from like cowboy bebop a little bit, or kind of uh, you know, it's got it's got those jazzy vibes and stuff like that, but yeah, uh it does have that kind of almost feels like you're in a casino, like you're in some sort of gambling establishment.
03:35:18.719 --> 03:35:21.680
It is something it is definitely up-tempo Japanese jazz.
03:35:21.840 --> 03:35:22.159
Totally.
03:35:22.559 --> 03:35:27.840
It's it's very seatbelts, you know, it's very right, right, right.
03:35:28.079 --> 03:35:31.760
Uh yeah, so yeah, that's what that's what yeah, that's definitely what I was thinking of there.
03:35:31.840 --> 03:35:34.239
But Yoko Kano stuff, yeah.
03:35:34.559 --> 03:35:51.520
The source, uh so Siren uh Siren Star doing the vocal line in the source is done by the saxophone, and you hear that saxophone sting a lot between you know the sound effects of you putting cards down and the monsters making noise.
03:35:51.840 --> 03:35:53.840
I'm I'm gonna have to listen to the source too now.
03:35:54.079 --> 03:36:00.799
And I I really all I always appreciate when there's like a big genre disparity between source and remix.
03:36:01.040 --> 03:36:02.719
Uh it's always a delight.
03:36:03.040 --> 03:36:06.399
And I think the and I think the cool thing about it in both cases, right?
03:36:06.479 --> 03:36:15.040
So even though it's just a complete genre change, right, the original is upbeat and kind of has a a positive vibe to it.
03:36:15.280 --> 03:36:26.479
And I think this I think this disco rendition of it sort of ratchets up that that just uh that positivity, like the level of positivity in it with the vocals and everything like that.
03:36:26.559 --> 03:36:27.520
I think it was pretty good.
03:36:27.600 --> 03:36:31.280
It's um it's not meant to make you think too hard, right?
03:36:31.360 --> 03:36:33.840
It's meant to make you fit into the groove.
03:36:34.000 --> 03:36:39.760
So ironically, it might fit within the rebirth OST.
03:36:40.000 --> 03:36:41.600
Like in the same vein that.
03:36:42.479 --> 03:36:43.520
Yeah, a thousand percent.
03:36:43.920 --> 03:36:54.479
Like the the team that did the remake and the rebirth, like music stuff, how they went and like their treatment of the Uimatsu originals is is phenomenal.
03:36:54.639 --> 03:37:08.959
How like the level of detail to which they went to be uh like drawing from the source but doing rearrangements and re-inspirations, I think Yorito drew from that same, you know, kind of uh first principles to make this remix.
03:37:09.200 --> 03:37:11.840
Those nerds redoing old video game music.
03:37:11.920 --> 03:37:12.719
What the hell?
03:37:12.959 --> 03:37:14.799
Oh, I remember my statement.
03:37:15.040 --> 03:37:22.879
My statement is I think over the course of the podcast I have pronounced it JoRito and Horito and Yorito.
03:37:23.040 --> 03:37:24.959
I think I've covered all of my bases.
03:37:25.280 --> 03:37:26.239
The three triplets.
03:37:26.719 --> 03:37:30.319
I told you when you started, I was like, we've got so many names to go over.
03:37:30.479 --> 03:37:33.040
Like, you know, not McVaf, it's McVaf.
03:37:34.239 --> 03:37:44.879
Oh come on, and Schnobu Schnobubula, which you know, you I think you say you say that correctly, but I'm just saying there's so there's lots of complicated, you know, funky names that are in the community.
03:37:45.360 --> 03:37:52.559
So Dark Sword is Dark Sword is Sharik, and you know, people go Shark and Sharique, and you know, all that kind of stuff.
03:37:53.120 --> 03:37:54.959
So so many things to learn.
03:37:55.200 --> 03:38:02.959
The the ones I've been struggling with lately is the last uh two or three months or so, we have had so many French names.
03:38:03.280 --> 03:38:13.200
Uh and yeah uh and uh why can't the French spell?
03:38:13.280 --> 03:38:15.360
I guess is the question I have for everyone.
03:38:17.200 --> 03:38:19.360
That's a shot across the bow right there.
03:38:20.159 --> 03:38:21.680
That was not me saying that.
03:38:22.399 --> 03:38:26.639
Views of Zach Tori represent overclock remix.
03:38:27.200 --> 03:38:32.000
Hilariously, we still don't have an Expedition 33 remix posted.
03:38:32.559 --> 03:38:33.760
Hit a blue lighter.
03:38:34.559 --> 03:38:37.920
I don't know, maybe get the time for the French brigade.
03:38:38.000 --> 03:38:38.319
Come on.
03:38:38.639 --> 03:38:42.559
Uh we maybe we maybe we have some French Canadians as well.
03:38:43.840 --> 03:38:46.799
Yeah, uh audio uh prism.
03:38:47.040 --> 03:38:48.319
Aero Prism, where you at?
03:38:48.799 --> 03:38:49.200
Get in here.
03:38:49.520 --> 03:38:52.319
See what we play Monsieur Oh, we have some more.
03:38:52.479 --> 03:38:53.600
Y'all make it happen.
03:38:53.840 --> 03:38:55.280
Into the lane, no further.
03:38:55.600 --> 03:38:58.479
We can't Zach, aren't you Hungarian?
03:38:58.719 --> 03:39:03.280
Aren't there like a billion like letters in like one word?
03:39:03.680 --> 03:39:07.680
I'm still thinking of like the longest word in Hungarian.
03:39:07.840 --> 03:39:13.760
That's just like for the repeated desecration of you or something like that.
03:39:14.239 --> 03:39:24.399
So so so uh my experience with a Hungarian language is uh listening to my mom speak it to my grandparents and then refusing to teach me any.
03:39:24.559 --> 03:39:33.840
So like I'm very familiar with the sound of Hungarian, but uh in terms of words, I know like food names of dishes.
03:39:34.159 --> 03:39:35.280
Like foods.
03:39:35.520 --> 03:39:36.079
That's it.
03:39:36.639 --> 03:39:37.600
Ghoulash.
03:39:37.760 --> 03:39:38.079
Yeah.
03:39:38.319 --> 03:39:39.440
It's a hard language.
03:39:39.520 --> 03:39:41.360
All I know is how to say hello.
03:39:41.600 --> 03:39:42.159
See ya.
03:39:42.719 --> 03:39:43.760
See ya, stok.
03:39:44.799 --> 03:39:52.559
Uh, I do know that I mean this is very podcast inappropriate, but like uh the Hungarians are like poets of profanity.
03:39:52.719 --> 03:39:58.879
Uh there are some absolutely wild swear words in Hungarian.
03:40:00.799 --> 03:40:01.440
Nice.
03:40:01.600 --> 03:40:04.239
Time to earn the explicit tag for the podcast.
03:40:07.120 --> 03:40:09.520
Nothing but dolphin noises from here on out.
03:40:12.479 --> 03:40:13.280
Yeah, right.
03:40:13.440 --> 03:40:14.000
Perfect.
03:40:14.239 --> 03:40:16.719
I think that I think that's true for a lot of us there, right?
03:40:16.799 --> 03:40:20.559
Like like for their grandparents, like for mine that were either Slovakian or German.
03:40:20.639 --> 03:40:22.879
I didn't really hear them speak it unless they're angry at me.
03:40:22.959 --> 03:40:28.159
So it's usually you know words that are appropriate, not for this podcast.
03:40:30.000 --> 03:40:30.719
Sorry, go ahead.
03:40:30.959 --> 03:40:34.479
I was just gonna say I'm half Russian, and so I know some Russian cuss words.
03:40:34.559 --> 03:40:36.559
Ah, I won't say them here.
03:40:36.639 --> 03:40:41.920
We're not gonna we're not I'm it you may get the explicit tag for this episode, but it won't be my fault.
03:40:43.040 --> 03:40:44.399
I can we can just start going off.
03:40:44.479 --> 03:40:45.120
I got Spanish.
03:40:47.840 --> 03:40:48.479
Get it.
03:40:48.639 --> 03:40:56.719
I once got told an Indonesian curse that I've now forgotten, which basically equates to if you eat too many onions, may you have an explosion in your pants.
03:40:57.040 --> 03:40:58.159
Oh, that's a good one.
03:40:58.959 --> 03:41:00.239
Do onions do that?
03:41:00.559 --> 03:41:02.079
It's a good remix title, too.
03:41:02.239 --> 03:41:04.799
You ever hear some things that make good remix titles?
03:41:04.959 --> 03:41:07.600
If you eat too many onions, you have an explosion in your pants.
03:41:07.760 --> 03:41:14.079
It's gotta be like a parapha chop chop master onions rap, and you're just rapping about the pants explosion.
03:41:14.399 --> 03:41:15.280
Oh, idea.
03:41:15.520 --> 03:41:16.799
Okay, running that one down.
03:41:16.959 --> 03:41:18.079
Yeah, you're a lyricist.
03:41:18.159 --> 03:41:18.559
There you go.
03:41:18.639 --> 03:41:19.120
Boom.
03:41:19.360 --> 03:41:19.760
There you go.
03:41:20.959 --> 03:41:22.079
We're making magic here.
03:41:22.399 --> 03:41:27.280
Pop quiz, someone rattle off the full title of Alarm Fish Man again.
03:41:27.840 --> 03:41:28.559
Oh, dude.
03:41:30.319 --> 03:41:36.479
Fish fan overclocked alarm mix time shift all caps 100%.
03:41:39.040 --> 03:41:46.639
The all-inclusive exclusive club for hairy fishmen who shoot forever turbo alarm clocks.
03:41:50.159 --> 03:41:51.120
I can shot web.
03:41:51.760 --> 03:41:55.520
Uh so it's way past my bedtime.
03:41:55.760 --> 03:42:09.520
Uh, and I suspect that might be the case for a lot of people, but I want to do the courteous podcast host thing and ask everyone uh, do you have anything you want to shout out or plug?
03:42:10.559 --> 03:42:12.079
Uh uh can I go first?
03:42:12.559 --> 03:42:12.959
Sure.
03:42:13.200 --> 03:42:18.159
Okay, uh it probably will already have been done by the time this episode airs, I suspect.
03:42:18.319 --> 03:42:33.360
Um December 18th, we're doing the second no-show uh on the judges panel where we will take and uh we will listen to several tracks live and judge them in front of an audience so that you can see how in the past tense you have to refer.
03:42:33.520 --> 03:42:35.120
We see we that's what we did.
03:42:35.360 --> 03:42:35.520
Right.
03:42:35.760 --> 03:42:37.760
And we and we were amazing at it.
03:42:38.079 --> 03:42:50.479
Yeah, we definitely ripped a bunch of tracks, a new one, uh fairly, because we're them evil judges, and we tried not to praise them too hard, even the ones that kind of were a layup.
03:42:50.959 --> 03:42:57.200
I having listened to none of them uh here in the past, I don't actually know what they sound like yet.
03:42:57.280 --> 03:42:59.120
I'm just assuming that's what's gonna happen.
03:42:59.200 --> 03:43:09.520
But yeah, if you want to see us uh make and then unmake the sausage as the judges panel, tune in on the 18th, or check out uh there'll probably a VOD for it on YouTube.
03:43:09.920 --> 03:43:13.520
We'll have a link to that probably in the podcast description in the doobly.
03:43:14.000 --> 03:43:20.879
Yeah, if if you if you remember to send me a link to that w once it's available, I will put it in the podcast description.
03:43:21.120 --> 03:43:22.399
Right in the doobly-doo.
03:43:22.639 --> 03:43:23.360
Who's next?
03:43:23.520 --> 03:43:36.959
Uh Morgan, we've mentioned previously, and has a very long video on the history of the snare drum, has a new video coming out soonish, as soon as they finish uh editing it, which has been taking quite some time for them.
03:43:37.280 --> 03:43:40.239
Uh, podcast editing I already find challenging.
03:43:40.319 --> 03:43:44.799
I can't imagine how much more effort adding video on top of the audio would be.
03:43:51.280 --> 03:43:52.799
That sounds like a lot.
03:43:52.959 --> 03:43:54.319
Uh dubstep stink.
03:43:54.479 --> 03:43:54.959
Hell yeah.
03:43:55.360 --> 03:43:57.520
I just wanted to- Oh, go ahead, Dialogue.
03:43:57.760 --> 03:44:09.520
I just want to give them a shout-out as well, um, because they've had seven remix uh mix posts this year alone uh at the time of recording, and probably even more by the time this comes out.
03:44:09.680 --> 03:44:20.079
So uh I just wanted to congratulate them on having a phenomenal year um and that I'm so glad that they are now a fully fledged member of the overclock remix community.
03:44:20.319 --> 03:44:20.879
Here, here.
03:44:21.680 --> 03:44:23.840
They're okay, they're decent at music.
03:44:25.280 --> 03:44:27.760
Uh I guess.
03:44:27.920 --> 03:44:28.639
Yeah, go.
03:44:29.040 --> 03:44:31.440
Uh on when is this gonna be released?
03:44:31.520 --> 03:44:33.360
It might already be out, it might be on VARD.
03:44:33.920 --> 03:44:37.680
But um Wait, are you asking when the podcast is gonna be released?
03:44:37.840 --> 03:44:38.319
Yeah.
03:44:38.639 --> 03:44:40.879
Probably between Christmas and New Year's.
03:44:41.120 --> 03:44:45.360
Alright, yeah, so by then this will already be out uh on video on demand.
03:44:45.520 --> 03:44:59.520
Uh it's uh I am uh gonna be playing a couple of parts and a table read of a Christmas Carol, a Muppet Christmas Carol on the 19th on uh twitch.com.
03:44:59.840 --> 03:45:01.120
Dungeons and Degrees.
03:45:01.280 --> 03:45:02.879
Uh if anybody wants to listen to that.
03:45:03.280 --> 03:45:05.120
Tell us what TV.
03:45:05.520 --> 03:45:07.440
I I'm playing uh Mr.
03:45:07.600 --> 03:45:09.840
Applegate and Robert Marley.
03:45:10.239 --> 03:45:10.719
Yeah.
03:45:10.879 --> 03:45:12.079
We'll see how I do.
03:45:12.879 --> 03:45:20.000
And then uh next year I'm gonna be voicing a small part in a podcast called the Oracle Pod.
03:45:20.399 --> 03:45:22.159
So yeah, keep an eye out for that.
03:45:22.479 --> 03:45:23.840
Christ, don't say next year.
03:45:24.000 --> 03:45:25.440
This year has gone too fast.
03:45:25.600 --> 03:45:28.719
It's it can't be it can't be almost next year already.
03:45:28.959 --> 03:45:31.840
Most of my stuff is next year, so I'm just gonna I'll end it there.
03:45:32.079 --> 03:45:33.760
Thank you for uh having me on.
03:45:33.840 --> 03:45:34.559
This has been great.
03:45:34.799 --> 03:45:35.760
You're welcome.
03:45:36.000 --> 03:45:38.079
Uh who hasn't plugged yet?
03:45:38.239 --> 03:45:39.920
Uh I got a couple.
03:45:40.159 --> 03:45:40.879
Go for it.
03:45:41.200 --> 03:45:45.120
Um, so uh I already put the call out.
03:45:45.200 --> 03:45:47.200
Uh this will be coming out in April.
03:45:47.440 --> 03:45:57.120
We have an unsanctioned, unofficial, overclocked uh community album called um Overclock Fishness.
03:45:57.440 --> 03:46:01.040
It's for uh the April Fish, April Fool's Day.
03:46:01.280 --> 03:46:06.239
Um yeah, it's silly, you know.
03:46:07.680 --> 03:46:23.280
If you've got any like meme tracks or some out there concept that you want to do, I don't know, like uh the Donkey Kong rap as like a Gregorian chant, go for it.
03:46:23.600 --> 03:46:27.680
Um also I wanna plug a podcast that I heard about.
03:46:27.760 --> 03:46:30.159
I think it's called Overclock Podcast.
03:46:33.600 --> 03:46:34.399
Listeners.
03:46:35.440 --> 03:46:43.440
Yeah, I um I'm a patron or I contribute a little, you know, server costs ain't cheap.
03:46:43.760 --> 03:46:56.319
So, you know, support the show, support, you know, artists, real human being artists that I am not, but try to pretend to be.
03:46:56.559 --> 03:47:02.079
And if there's any extra, it goes to overclocked remakes to help with their server costs.
03:47:02.479 --> 03:47:04.319
That is the podcast promise.
03:47:04.559 --> 03:47:06.799
Yeah, put that money in Larry's pocket.
03:47:08.239 --> 03:47:09.920
That's where it goes, clearly.
03:47:10.239 --> 03:47:15.280
When you said a real human being a real hero from uh college, it popped in my head.
03:47:15.360 --> 03:47:17.200
I don't know if anybody remembers that song.
03:47:17.600 --> 03:47:19.520
I want to recommend everybody listen to that song too.
03:47:19.600 --> 03:47:20.079
It's pretty good.
03:47:21.360 --> 03:47:24.079
Uh maybe I'll contribute something to April Fool's.
03:47:24.239 --> 03:47:29.920
Uh a year ago I was inspired around this time of year to uh do the podcast.
03:47:30.079 --> 03:47:34.159
Maybe I can uh expand my horizons a little more and do a meme track.
03:47:34.639 --> 03:47:36.159
Goodness gracious.
03:47:38.559 --> 03:47:40.399
I'm gonna blame it on Larry again.
03:47:40.639 --> 03:47:41.520
Oh, I love it.
03:47:41.600 --> 03:47:42.879
See, everything is my fault.
03:47:42.959 --> 03:47:43.680
I see it.
03:47:43.840 --> 03:47:49.440
I open my big mouth and you know, tell people to stick it in their craw and they're like, I'll show you.
03:47:49.600 --> 03:47:51.200
I'm gonna do a good job.
03:47:51.440 --> 03:47:53.840
So oh wait, you know what now that I'm talking.
03:47:54.159 --> 03:47:55.280
Plugs, plugs, plugs.
03:47:55.520 --> 03:47:58.639
So yes, we've been talking about we've been talking about the Time Shift album.
03:47:58.719 --> 03:48:01.760
So just wanted to make sure to give one more plug to Time Shift.
03:48:01.840 --> 03:48:09.760
You you know, you've been you heard snippets and snappets and whip it's and whappets of all the tracks, you know.
03:48:09.920 --> 03:48:11.360
So don't be a Grinch.
03:48:11.600 --> 03:48:17.280
Make sure to check out Time Shift Overclocked Remix 25th Anniversary album.
03:48:17.840 --> 03:48:24.239
Celebrating a long, long, long, long, long 25th anniversary year that is now just concluded.
03:48:24.399 --> 03:48:30.319
And so is one of the one of the most unique album premises that we've had in the community.
03:48:30.399 --> 03:48:48.239
So cheers to Dialect for uh his his absolutely impulsive, crazy decision to to go this route and and do something that's not just the the tried and true uh Nintendo Super Nintendo Source Tunes that we we we always hear.
03:48:48.639 --> 03:48:50.559
We've got some of those too in Timeshift World.
03:48:50.879 --> 03:48:55.760
So everything for every audience bastards, no matter what you want.
03:48:56.479 --> 03:49:01.280
Get the old, a little bit of a little just a little smattering, just a little taste of the old.
03:49:02.079 --> 03:49:03.200
And then the new.
03:49:03.440 --> 03:49:12.159
So fresh, so vivid, with such a because we were talking about the French campaign earlier.
03:49:12.239 --> 03:49:14.959
I don't I don't I didn't say any French words, but that's it.
03:49:15.280 --> 03:49:26.799
So get time shift, make sure to grab that, and then just because you I do many of the write-ups for the featured tracks on OCRemix.org proper, do yourself a favor.
03:49:26.959 --> 03:49:40.079
I say this to everybody, I wouldn't be here myself as community manager and overall video game music enthusiast had I not tried all of the OC remixes that are available on the website.
03:49:40.319 --> 03:49:50.959
So we've got Torrents, you can download the albums, and then most important, the individual remix collection, the bread and butter of Overclock Remix.
03:49:51.200 --> 03:49:56.159
We are almost at uh the number wise at 5,000.
03:49:56.399 --> 03:50:05.360
So make sure to get them all and open your eyes and ears to the wonders of video game music, especially from games that you haven't played.
03:50:05.440 --> 03:50:07.600
Don't just stick with the stuff you're nostalgic for.
03:50:07.760 --> 03:50:11.440
Try everything, and you will find some of your new favorite music.
03:50:11.600 --> 03:50:12.239
So do that.
03:50:12.319 --> 03:50:13.440
That's my shameless plug.
03:50:13.760 --> 03:50:20.000
Continuing on from what continuing on from what uh Larry said, and thank you very much for the kind words about the album.
03:50:20.159 --> 03:50:22.239
Um which I hated, by the way.
03:50:23.200 --> 03:50:25.760
You have to say these nice things on the podcast.
03:50:25.920 --> 03:50:26.879
No, you be quiet.
03:50:27.040 --> 03:50:28.479
See, he's biasing it.
03:50:28.639 --> 03:50:30.159
I hated every moment.
03:50:30.799 --> 03:50:36.000
Okay, case in point, I never got into Mega Man music until I listened to Overclock Remix.
03:50:36.239 --> 03:50:38.639
Oh my what a reveal.
03:50:38.879 --> 03:50:39.520
There you go.
03:50:39.760 --> 03:50:43.200
Hey man, some of us, I say this in my little origin story all the time.
03:50:43.280 --> 03:50:51.200
This is you know, Larry chatter chatting in again because you know, I feel like I've been slandered right there, you know, just because Dialek hasn't played much Mega Man.
03:50:51.360 --> 03:51:06.959
But part of the thing with me and my OC Remix fandom, I always mention this, is that even though I had Super Mario Bros., you know, one, two, and three, and Street Fighter, Streets of Rage, those kinds of things, and I would, those were the games I was looking up when I first heard of OC Remix.
03:51:07.200 --> 03:51:16.000
But that was how I learned about the music and sort of the gameplay a little bit of the Mega Man's, the Secret of Manas, Castlevania, Final Fantasy.
03:51:16.079 --> 03:51:20.239
Like I didn't I'd never heard of Final Fantasy until OC Remix.
03:51:20.399 --> 03:51:22.079
I didn't really care about RPGs.
03:51:22.159 --> 03:51:26.319
I played a little bit, but that wasn't really the stuff I was into as much.
03:51:26.479 --> 03:51:39.680
So getting to learn about stuff, franchises that had a lot of classic game music, OC Remix definitely opened my eyes to a lot of things that I missed in the 8 and 16-bit eras.
03:51:40.159 --> 03:51:45.520
Uh I think, yeah, actually, I think I got into Secret of Mana because of OC Remix.
03:51:45.680 --> 03:51:48.159
I I think I had not even heard of the game.
03:51:48.399 --> 03:51:55.760
Uh also, I want to say, I just whipped out my calculator uh with almost 5,000 tracks.
03:51:56.000 --> 03:52:03.440
Uh, if you listen to just one a day, you'll have music for uh over 13 years.
03:52:03.760 --> 03:52:05.120
Wow, why so slow?
03:52:05.200 --> 03:52:05.840
How dare you?
03:52:06.000 --> 03:52:06.559
You know what?
03:52:06.719 --> 03:52:09.760
If you can listen to one a day, you can probably fit 10 a day.
03:52:09.920 --> 03:52:11.520
How much shorter would it be then?
03:52:11.680 --> 03:52:21.040
You do 10 a day, then it'll only take one year, five months, 200 hours, ticks of a clock.
03:52:26.959 --> 03:52:28.559
Oh goodness gracious.
03:52:28.719 --> 03:52:29.840
We're not on Broadway.
03:52:30.079 --> 03:52:31.840
Don't, don't, don't you dare.
03:52:32.079 --> 03:52:35.360
I don't want us to get copyright struck when I would sing that.
03:52:35.600 --> 03:52:38.799
I'm pretty sure I garbled those lyrics, so just go for it, see what happens.
03:52:39.040 --> 03:52:39.520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:52:39.600 --> 03:52:40.159
Hey, you know what?
03:52:40.239 --> 03:52:41.440
Let me let me let me ask real quick.
03:52:41.520 --> 03:52:42.799
I'm gonna hide I'm gonna hijack the show.
03:52:42.879 --> 03:52:44.000
Again, this is Larry, of course.
03:52:44.159 --> 03:52:45.280
Larry hijacks the show.
03:52:45.360 --> 03:52:46.000
He's a community manager.
03:52:46.079 --> 03:52:46.719
I'm allowed to hijack.
03:52:46.879 --> 03:52:47.200
Now listen.
03:52:47.360 --> 03:52:48.479
You're you are allowed, yes.
03:52:48.719 --> 03:52:57.760
So die luck, now that you've done the one, now sometimes people end up getting the little tasty taste, and they're like, oh, you know, case in point, we've got David there.
03:52:58.000 --> 03:53:00.079
So he could definitely speak to it, right?
03:53:00.159 --> 03:53:01.840
You make one, you're like, you know what?
03:53:02.000 --> 03:53:05.840
Alright, got the got the community album under my belt.
03:53:06.079 --> 03:53:06.799
Feeling it.
03:53:06.959 --> 03:53:08.319
Maybe there could be some more ideas.
03:53:08.479 --> 03:53:10.239
So die luck, are there any more ideas?
03:53:10.559 --> 03:53:11.200
What's going on?
03:53:11.360 --> 03:53:11.920
I've got a lot of things.
03:53:13.680 --> 03:53:16.399
If you were here earlier, Larry, you would have the answer to that.
03:53:16.879 --> 03:53:17.440
Damn it.
03:53:18.959 --> 03:53:19.280
Okay.
03:53:21.280 --> 03:53:21.760
Yep.
03:53:21.920 --> 03:53:31.600
I uh I basically plugged that the next project is going to be Illusion of Gaia Stroke, uh Illusion of Time, because it's got a different name depending on what side of the Atlantic you're from.
03:53:31.840 --> 03:53:32.159
Oh.
03:53:32.639 --> 03:53:37.280
And then I've got two more after that that I'm keeping close to my bit close, uh, close to my chest.
03:53:37.760 --> 03:53:38.000
See.
03:53:38.879 --> 03:53:44.399
But that is how it you do one and then you do another, and then you take a break, and then you come back and do some more.
03:53:44.719 --> 03:53:46.000
It always works out that way.
03:53:46.159 --> 03:53:53.120
Yeah, I'd I was gonna say, like, the only plug that I've got, and and this is kind of a humorous one, but but kind of is kind of funny.
03:53:53.360 --> 03:54:02.159
Um, it basically shout out to all all the remixes that have been put on the backlog by all the remixers that were so close to seeing the light of day.
03:54:02.399 --> 03:54:06.639
Just just put in that extra effort, guys, and and you can you can push them out, and it'll be amazing.
03:54:06.719 --> 03:54:07.840
We'll have so many more.
03:54:08.079 --> 03:54:13.040
Like, if you have like the 60 or 70 works in progress that I have, I'm sure you guys have more than I do.
03:54:13.120 --> 03:54:22.399
So I mean, you ever had a dream that you could and you and you and you would and you could and you uh you wanted to do them so bad you could do anything?
03:54:22.719 --> 03:54:24.799
Because you know, lots of people have.
03:54:25.360 --> 03:54:31.600
I do want to point out one of the great perks of being a remixer is having an orange name on the Discord.
03:54:31.920 --> 03:54:33.120
Is that what that is?
03:54:34.079 --> 03:54:34.559
That's right.
03:54:34.719 --> 03:54:35.120
It's true.
03:54:35.360 --> 03:54:36.639
The orange name club.
03:54:37.440 --> 03:54:42.479
Where the pets we are giving you access to a room that nobody else has access to.
03:54:42.559 --> 03:54:45.920
It's it's it's it's like the grip the uh green room right before you got on stage.
03:54:47.600 --> 03:54:50.719
There's no better orange than the orange name club.
03:54:51.040 --> 03:54:52.479
Can I plug one more thing?
03:54:52.639 --> 03:54:53.440
Yeah, go for it.
03:54:53.840 --> 03:54:54.959
Just because I feel like I should.
03:54:55.040 --> 03:54:57.600
It it's it's part of OC Remix history.
03:54:57.760 --> 03:55:04.239
Uh is that I think it's the 14th anniversary of the very first badass album.
03:55:04.479 --> 03:55:12.239
Um I believe the first one was badass boss themes.
03:55:12.479 --> 03:55:14.159
Yeah, badass boss themes.
03:55:14.319 --> 03:55:15.360
Uh wick it up.
03:55:15.680 --> 03:55:17.760
I think it's been four or five five years?
03:55:17.920 --> 03:55:23.200
I forget where to start counting of uh Paragons and Renegades, which is can't believe that much time has passed by.
03:55:23.520 --> 03:55:27.840
I think like co-worker is on the first badass boss themes.
03:55:28.159 --> 03:55:30.719
Actually, it is it is five years.
03:55:31.200 --> 03:55:33.840
Uh oh, I'm trying to remember his screen name.
03:55:33.920 --> 03:55:35.520
Uh his name's Erwin.
03:55:36.000 --> 03:55:37.280
Erwin Kwan, yeah.
03:55:37.440 --> 03:55:38.319
Yeah, that's it.
03:55:38.799 --> 03:55:40.000
And Arcana.
03:55:40.399 --> 03:55:40.959
Arcana.
03:55:42.079 --> 03:55:45.120
He is literally like three offices down from me.
03:55:45.440 --> 03:55:46.000
Small world.
03:55:46.239 --> 03:55:46.719
Oh wow.
03:55:47.120 --> 03:55:47.840
Small world.
03:55:48.079 --> 03:55:48.239
Yeah.
03:55:48.959 --> 03:55:52.879
All of the badass albums are uh are mainstays for my DD playlist.
03:55:53.120 --> 03:55:55.200
Oh that's great.
03:55:55.360 --> 03:55:57.760
I would have never even thought of it that way, but yeah, hell yeah.
03:55:58.000 --> 03:56:00.319
And there are what, four badass albums now?
03:56:00.559 --> 03:56:01.680
There's yeah.
03:56:01.920 --> 03:56:02.399
Mm-hmm.
03:56:02.639 --> 03:56:03.680
Went to the next one.
03:56:03.920 --> 03:56:06.639
I don't know who wants to pick up the torch before.
03:56:07.040 --> 03:56:08.159
That's right, that's right.
03:56:08.399 --> 03:56:09.680
Gotta pick up the mantle.
03:56:09.920 --> 03:56:12.319
I want badass main menu theme music.
03:56:12.399 --> 03:56:14.079
I want badass select theme music.
03:56:14.159 --> 03:56:16.079
I want badass safe room theme music.
03:56:16.319 --> 03:56:21.200
Oh badass character screen select music would be pretty great.
03:56:21.280 --> 03:56:21.840
Oh, dude.
03:56:22.159 --> 03:56:23.040
Take you for a ride.
03:56:24.159 --> 03:56:26.079
Take you for a ride.
03:56:27.440 --> 03:56:31.200
Instructions unclear all Resident Evil Savering theme remix.
03:56:31.920 --> 03:56:32.479
Definition.
03:56:33.040 --> 03:56:33.680
Yeah.
03:56:34.159 --> 03:56:34.799
Yeah.
03:56:35.520 --> 03:56:46.159
Uh did you guys hear that um uh 8 bit Big Band did uh an incredible, like super fleshed out version of Take You for a Ride?
03:56:47.120 --> 03:56:51.520
Oh man, I haven't, but it is uh I'll I'll I'll I'll drop it in chat.
03:56:51.600 --> 03:56:52.639
It's incredible.
03:56:53.040 --> 03:56:54.799
Yeah, thank you for putting that on my radar.
03:56:54.879 --> 03:56:58.000
Because uh no, listen, I mean, as somebody that played Marvel vs.
03:56:58.159 --> 03:57:04.639
Capcom 2 back when it actually came out, uh people were clowning on that soundtrack.
03:57:04.719 --> 03:57:05.520
It was crazy.
03:57:05.680 --> 03:57:06.959
It's so good though.
03:57:07.440 --> 03:57:09.360
A lot of people, no, a lot of people loved it though.
03:57:09.440 --> 03:57:10.159
That's the thing, right?
03:57:10.239 --> 03:57:11.840
I mean, people would people would fight about it.
03:57:11.920 --> 03:57:15.120
They'd be like, oh man, stupid, stupid jazz music, what's going on here?
03:57:15.200 --> 03:57:16.799
It's like, man, this stuff is awesome.
03:57:16.959 --> 03:57:19.920
And now it's all Mario music, is is that's what it sounds like.
03:57:20.000 --> 03:57:30.479
It's just that I remember really liking it, if only because like I'm pretty sure it's at least one of the same composers as Breath of Fire 3, which is oh cool, one of my all-time favorites.
03:57:30.719 --> 03:57:33.200
Yeah, no, Mar and Marvel vs.
03:57:33.360 --> 03:57:36.639
Capcom 2 is a vastly underrated soundtrack.
03:57:36.879 --> 03:57:40.559
And even even if somehow it was overrated, it's still underrated.
03:57:40.879 --> 03:57:42.319
Because it's phenomenal.
03:57:42.399 --> 03:57:47.200
And look, maybe it maybe it goes against type for fighting games, but it was a lot of fun.
03:57:47.520 --> 03:57:50.559
Those are the best kind of fighting games, though, the ones that go against type.
03:57:50.799 --> 03:57:52.479
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
03:57:52.799 --> 03:57:54.639
Uh has everyone plugged?
03:57:54.799 --> 03:57:56.000
Are we missing anyone?
03:57:56.239 --> 03:57:58.159
Oh man, they they have to have been done.
03:57:58.239 --> 03:58:00.719
If you haven't spoken up now, you're dead to me.
03:58:00.959 --> 03:58:02.000
Yeah, we all spoke up.
03:58:02.319 --> 03:58:05.440
I mean, other than uh timeshift.ocremix.org.
03:58:05.600 --> 03:58:07.680
Time shift.ocremix.org.
03:58:07.840 --> 03:58:08.399
That's right.
03:58:08.719 --> 03:58:11.200
Uh yes.
03:58:12.159 --> 03:58:13.920
How many Grammy winners do you have?
03:58:14.000 --> 03:58:15.840
Or well, you know, Grammy nominees rather.
03:58:16.319 --> 03:58:16.799
We don't know yet.
03:58:18.000 --> 03:58:21.040
How many Grammy nominees do you have on your video game music album?
03:58:21.120 --> 03:58:24.479
You're not the only ones who got the Grammys, a big big band.
03:58:25.040 --> 03:58:27.520
I have one on badass, at least.
03:58:27.680 --> 03:58:28.319
Oh yeah.
03:58:28.479 --> 03:58:28.639
Yeah.
03:58:28.799 --> 03:58:30.159
Is it Bustatunes?
03:58:30.399 --> 03:58:31.120
Is it two?
03:58:31.360 --> 03:58:32.079
There's two.
03:58:32.319 --> 03:58:32.639
Oh.
03:58:34.159 --> 03:58:35.280
Who's the other one?
03:58:35.600 --> 03:58:35.920
Me.
03:58:36.559 --> 03:58:37.120
Are you serious?
03:58:37.200 --> 03:58:37.840
What are we talking about?
03:58:38.000 --> 03:58:39.920
Yeah, not for music, that's for sound design.
03:58:40.000 --> 03:58:40.319
Anyway.
03:58:40.639 --> 03:58:41.680
Oh, I mean still.
03:58:41.920 --> 03:58:43.040
Well, Grammy's a Grammy.
03:58:43.200 --> 03:58:43.680
Oh, that's a good one.
03:58:44.719 --> 03:58:45.840
How do I find that, brother?
03:58:46.639 --> 03:58:46.959
Never mind.
03:58:47.120 --> 03:58:48.159
It was uh sport.
03:58:48.959 --> 03:58:51.360
Uh that doesn't count then.
03:58:51.520 --> 03:58:51.680
No.
03:58:51.920 --> 03:58:52.399
Oh my gosh.
03:58:52.719 --> 03:58:53.680
Oh, we don't care if that goes.
03:58:54.159 --> 03:58:55.840
That was just part of a team that got nominated.
03:58:55.920 --> 03:58:56.559
It wasn't even me.
03:58:56.719 --> 03:59:01.040
I just like to make it sound like a son of a debated.
03:59:01.680 --> 03:59:12.079
So, like, uh if you if you ever look like a uh at a biology paper, uh my wife's a scientist, so we sometimes just have like journal articles laying around the house.
03:59:12.319 --> 03:59:22.239
And um you look at like a biology paper and there's like 80 authors, I I think I think you can say you got an Oscar.
03:59:22.479 --> 03:59:25.120
Yeah, like if you were part of the orchestra or something like that.
03:59:25.280 --> 03:59:26.399
I I know not in that case, right?
03:59:26.479 --> 03:59:29.280
But if you're part of an orchestra that was nominated, right?
03:59:29.360 --> 03:59:31.600
There's like a hundred musicians in there or something.
03:59:31.680 --> 03:59:32.879
You can that counts.
03:59:33.120 --> 03:59:34.079
It has to.
03:59:34.319 --> 03:59:35.200
You're part of it.
03:59:35.440 --> 03:59:36.399
So that's amazing.
03:59:36.639 --> 03:59:38.319
You're not gonna reveal for what what for?
03:59:38.399 --> 03:59:39.200
Like, can we find this?
03:59:39.280 --> 03:59:40.639
Or are we talking about me?
03:59:40.719 --> 03:59:41.680
Yeah, you David.
03:59:42.000 --> 03:59:45.200
Oh, yeah, it was uh Who else got nominated for an Oscar?
03:59:45.680 --> 03:59:47.360
Well, not me, just the team I was on.
03:59:48.239 --> 03:59:49.120
It still counts.
03:59:50.399 --> 03:59:53.520
So before all of this, I've been putting on this weird sound effect I made.
03:59:53.600 --> 03:59:54.959
It was for a VR game.
03:59:55.280 --> 03:59:57.040
Oh, was it a Roblox oof?
03:59:57.440 --> 03:59:58.079
Is that you?
03:59:59.200 --> 04:00:02.239
It was a Spider-Man Homecoming VR back in the day.
04:00:02.959 --> 04:00:03.520
Yeah.
04:00:03.760 --> 04:00:13.440
I uh I did some sound editing for that and sound effects, uh, along with uh my buddy and uh rest in peace to him, Justin Lasson.
04:00:13.920 --> 04:00:15.200
We worked on that game together.
04:00:15.680 --> 04:00:23.680
Uh and yeah, uh I think by sheer luck there wasn't a huge amount of VR and they put a VR category there, we made it in.
04:00:24.079 --> 04:00:24.959
It was awesome.
04:00:25.280 --> 04:00:26.399
Sweet, man.
04:00:26.799 --> 04:00:36.719
I you know, OCR celebrates mostly video game music, but sound design in general is just so important to my like personal experience with games.
04:00:37.680 --> 04:00:43.440
Oh man, we're gonna have to get David to host a little uh informational session about sound design.
04:00:44.000 --> 04:00:49.200
You can get a microphone and then you make noises with your mouth, and then you put it through uh distortion.
04:00:49.920 --> 04:00:50.319
Uh-huh.
04:00:50.639 --> 04:00:57.040
Yeah, or then you can make nice stuff like nice very nice.
04:00:57.280 --> 04:00:59.040
Or you can even talk like this.
04:00:59.360 --> 04:01:01.920
Oh, what ooh, what the heck?
04:01:02.239 --> 04:01:04.399
Or you could just make funny voices.
04:01:05.520 --> 04:01:06.799
You can put on air.
04:01:07.440 --> 04:01:12.319
Well, I want to thank all of you uh for doing this.
04:01:12.399 --> 04:01:13.440
This is fantastic.
04:01:15.120 --> 04:01:15.680
No, no, no.
04:01:15.760 --> 04:01:17.280
Don't you dare cut me off here.
04:01:17.360 --> 04:01:17.440
No.
04:01:17.760 --> 04:01:26.639
Oh, oh no, you could uh I want to uh do stuff like this more often for the pod.
04:01:27.040 --> 04:01:35.040
Like, you know, it's just been me talking alone into a microphone for a year now, and I I I really want to branch out and do more stuff.
04:01:35.200 --> 04:01:39.040
So thank you all for uh helping me start.
04:02:16.959 --> 04:02:18.879
Well, that was that.
04:02:19.360 --> 04:02:23.520
A totally different way to end the year than we started the year.
04:02:23.840 --> 04:02:31.600
Our outro music was Hot for April by Sixto Sounds from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for Turtles and Time.
04:02:32.159 --> 04:02:38.639
Here's where I'd usually plug helping me pay my server costs, but Colorado Weeks already handled that.
04:02:39.120 --> 04:02:44.079
But I will still plug, please come chat with us on Discord.
04:02:44.319 --> 04:02:49.280
If you enjoyed hearing us talk, then maybe you'll enjoy joining us for a chat.
04:02:50.079 --> 04:02:51.280
I'm gonna keep it short.
04:02:51.520 --> 04:02:54.639
We'll do the remix roulette really quick here.
04:02:55.920 --> 04:02:59.600
That's number six from Sonic the Hedgehog.
04:02:59.840 --> 04:03:01.520
Did a hedgehog just come through here?
04:03:01.680 --> 04:03:03.680
By Argyll and Scholar.
04:03:04.319 --> 04:03:08.000
Alright everyone, have a happy new year, and I'll see you next time.
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.479
To the whole world right now.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.200
Come on, north, south, east, west.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.840
Let me see you bob your heads.
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.079
Yo, Memphis.
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:51.759
I remember where I come from.
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.840
The same spot with a snare drum rock.
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:54.719
Feel it in my blood.
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.479
Not ripping silly club, skipping it one.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.159
Under my stock, staying fully club.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.719
Living in my free pick.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.719
Objects that rest remain still.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.400
Up until the fourth meta is done.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.159
Moving at the speed of my just like deck.
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.319
I'm head of my time, I'm never ahead of a flow.
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.319
Don't you know time is one big move.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.640
You can run a mobile, drip around two trees.
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.040
We can stay ahead of the curve and full grip boots.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.280
So you do you, even if it's old school.
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.680
My kick's grip, enhanced the footwork skills.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.000
The track jacket at speed to the windmills.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.000
Be boys fully equipped to channel the sound.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.599
Don't book off wrong.
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:40.560
Hello and welcome to the Overclocked Remix Podcast, the best source for OC remix news and new music that you can listen to while sliding down a chimney to exchange milk and cookies for wrapped gifts from an Elven sweatshop.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.640
My name is Zach, and I once got a Sega Dreamcast for Christmas.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.799
This is episode number 13, which is the birthday episode.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:57.680
That's right, this is the episode covering November 2025, and the very first episode was the one covering November 2024.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.239
I've been doing this all year, and somehow I have listeners.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:03.760
I am grateful.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.360
But speaking of things to be grateful for in news, news, news, I have news.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:16.080
Our play-in song was Time Travelers Delight by Overclock Assembled from Sonic CD.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.120
And our news music, you'll just have to listen for it.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.039
Well, that's because we've got a new album alert.
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:24.400
Stop whatever you are doing and head on over to timeshift.ocremix.org to give it a download.
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.879
You'll hear more about this album later.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.719
That was a spoiler for the segment.
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:37.039
But the short version is that it is an album to celebrate the 25th birthday of OCR, which was roughly one year ago.
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:44.719
Well, it was roughly one year ago on OCR's 25th that the album was conceived, but it's coming out a year later.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.080
Because that's how it works.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.199
Conception, wait roughly a year release.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:55.680
Also, as of this recording, the 2025 edition of an overclocked Christmas is out.
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.479
So go give that a download too.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.759
Now let's move on to some new music.
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:20.160
All right, that was Ancient Skyline by The Key Combo and Paradiddles Josh from Final Fantasy Fourteen, A Flower for Your Funeral by JN Wake and The Man PF from Undertale, Rescue Cora Anthem by Pixel Tea from Pikmin IV, and after that we had In Memoriam by Minus World from Mega Race.
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:29.839
And we are off to a great start, because you know I love Jazzy Final Fantasy remixes and prog metal, and we are getting both of those.
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.680
And also I got this reminder that I haven't played Pikmin 4 yet.
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.680
I replayed 1 and 2 recently.
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:39.680
I just need to replay 3 on the Switch, and then I'll be there.
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.400
Boy, talk about Core Memory Unlocked, Mega Race.
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:51.920
That was one of the very few actual DOS games I had that weren't edutainment of some variety.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:58.319
They did that early 90s thing of, wow, what do we do with hundreds of megabytes of space on a CD-ROM?
00:23:58.880 --> 00:23:59.359
I don't know.
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.720
FMVs?
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:13.680
They had a lot of footage of some actor being a race commentator, and then the races themselves were FMVs of looped FMVs of speeding through a racetrack with sprites on top of that.
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:18.799
Honestly, in my memory, it plays more like a schmuck than a racer, but what do I know?
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.960
Cool soundtrack though, and I love what Minus World has done with it.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.440
Also, a warm welcome to Pixel Tea and their very first mix post.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.799
Something going on this year with new remixers in Pikmin.
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:23.760
By Emmunator, Barat Raman, Minus World, Morgan, Nemo Fairlight, and Zack Parish from Metal Gear Solid.
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:29.199
After that was Rigging Rampage by Argyle from Donkey Kong Country 2.
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:35.119
After that was Five More, Never More, by Zack Parish from Chrono Trigger.
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:50.000
And finally we had The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Weed Whackers by Roland and Lara Quinte Martinez, Jay and Wake, Minus World, and Pixels and Paradiddles from The Legend of Zelda, The Wind Waker.
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.000
And yes, let me acknowledge, I am skipping a track.
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.519
We listened to all of A Night for a Night here on the podcast already, and would you look at that?
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:04.800
We're just gonna move along.
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:16.000
I'm no dropkick Murphy's expert, but I do live in Boston, so I've osmosed a little, and Rigging Rampage definitely has some of that feel.
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:23.039
I think the Source Turn, of course, really lends itself to that sort of Celtic punk, which is what Wikipedia calls this genre.
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.079
Although given it's Boston, maybe it's Celtic Punk.
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:34.719
Anyway, also in this block, I love how I still haven't gotten tired of the Zeal theme from Chrono Trigger, aka Shala's theme.
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:38.639
23 remixes, and we are still loving it.
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:43.599
Also gotta shout out to another sort of newcomer, Roland N.
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:52.239
Larriquente Martinez, who has been on the pod before, but just now got his first arrangement credit.
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:56.000
And what a credit! This is exactly my kind of music.
00:43:56.239 --> 00:44:01.199
A little metal, a little jazz, a lot of prog, and that Oh man.
01:02:45.920 --> 01:03:12.079
Alright, in that block we had A Walk in Snowpoint City by Land Party and Theology from Pokemon Diamond, Above the Borders by Tibanev from Microsoft Flight Simulator, then We Under the Stars by JN Wake and Eminator from Shovel Knight, and House of Shadow by Chimpazilla and Morgan from The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time.
01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:13.039
What is this?
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:14.239
Newcomer Month?
01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:24.320
Land Party and Theology off to a strong start with some groovy house beats from Pokemon Diamond, Instant Classic, and some Shovel Knight goodness.
01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:32.719
I don't know if I mentioned this on the pod, and I'm sure to get a little flack for it, but when Shovel Knight came out, it was my game of the decade.
01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:35.760
Pretty much everything I've ever wanted in a video game.
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:44.320
It did an amazing job at capturing all the good things about classic platformers while avoiding the frustrating things.
01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:46.960
Alright, let's get on to some more music.
01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:52.800
So that was Under a Summer Moon by Minus World, Lady Varda, Deluxe Dolomite, Mathmatat, Optimiza Sean, and Stephen Higby from The Oregon Trail.
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:58.560
After that we had Howls of the Black Wind by Wispy Woodwinds from Chrono Trigger.
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:05.600
After that was Pasio de los Hermanos by Audio Mocha from Brothers, A Tale of Two Sons.
01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:11.520
Finally, Into the Icy Caverns by Timaeus 222 from Pokemon Crystal.
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:16.479
And I was gonna joke that this was the acoustic block until that last track.
01:18:17.039 --> 01:18:22.000
Which is a great take on a couple of Pokemon themes, one of which I even remember.
01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:25.920
I was most definitely a Pokemon Blue kid.
01:18:26.399 --> 01:18:36.560
My younger brother has kept up with the series, playing, I think, at least one game from every single Pokemon gen, and he revisits the older ones pretty frequently, too.
01:18:37.039 --> 01:18:41.600
But I sort of fell off, and I only revisit the series sporadically.
01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:49.039
I played some of uh Sun and Moon, I played some of Sword and Shield, but you know, I skipped some in-between ones.
01:18:49.600 --> 01:18:59.439
See, the problem is I played Dragon Warrior Monsters, which now we know as Dragon Quest Monsters, but back in the day, Dragon Warrior.
01:18:59.920 --> 01:19:06.479
But that led me down this whole other JRPG rabbit hole that I still find myself in.
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:17.760
And of course, another of my childhood favorites, and by favorites, I mean the entertainment that I was allowed to enjoy, I guess, on a school night.
01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:19.680
Oregon Trail.
01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:23.920
I could have sworn we had an Oregon Trail mix on the site already, but nope.
01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:25.039
This is the first.
01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:27.439
Alright, let's listen to some more music.
01:33:50.399 --> 01:33:51.520
Monkey Blood.
01:33:52.079 --> 01:33:59.840
That was I Want to Go Home by Male Decision, Nemo Fairlight, and Paradise Josh from Donkey Kong Country.
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:05.600
Followed by Rose Gray by Creedask from Donkey Kong Country 2.
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:13.119
After that was Philassophobia by Emulator and Morgan from Donkey Kong Country 3.
01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:18.960
And finally, Toy Works Terror by Argyll from Donkey Kong Country 64.
01:34:19.600 --> 01:34:27.039
So Donkey Kong Country turned 31 in November, which is a right proper adult age, I should know.
01:34:27.279 --> 01:34:31.920
And to celebrate, there was a gigantic pile of monkey mixed posts.
01:34:32.239 --> 01:34:39.760
Some of these are from Dwelling of Duels originally, some of these are just mixed posts that were saved for a special occasion.
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:42.159
And has been the theme for this month.
01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:44.399
One of these is a newcomer.
01:34:44.560 --> 01:35:01.920
A warm OCR pod welcome to Pre-Dask, aka the combo of Japanese arranger and producer Tomoyuki Sakakira and vocalist Aika Pim, who cite composer David Wise as a big influence, not just for this track, but for their music careers in general.
01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:04.640
More monkey music coming right up.
01:51:57.439 --> 01:52:10.319
Alright, first things first we had Command and Kong Quer, both spelled with a K, from JN Wake, Ronan Opf, and The Man PF from Donkey Kong Country 2.
01:52:10.560 --> 01:52:17.680
Also from Donkey Kong Country 2, Blackthorn, by Hemophiliac, Prophetic Music, and Stephen Hewitt.
01:52:18.079 --> 01:52:24.479
Following that, we had Mechanomania from Morgan and Eminator from Donkey Kong Country.
01:52:24.720 --> 01:52:40.479
And finally, At the Heart of Yggdrasil by I think it's pronounced Heat, but it's H36T, Gravity Gauntlet, Pixels and Paradiddles, Ronald Poe and Mobius from Streets of Rage, and also Etri and Odyssey.
01:52:41.439 --> 01:52:53.039
Now, for those of you not in the know, fellow podcaster and host of Mega Mixtape Now wrangled and organized and led an incredible new VGM album called Feature Length.
01:52:53.279 --> 01:52:57.920
You can and should go grab it at Megamixtape.com.
01:52:58.319 --> 01:53:07.680
And to give you a taste of the goodness, we have the cross-posted track Command and Conquer, which is a jazzy monkey prog masterpiece.
01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:11.840
Monkey Prog being, of course, one of my favorite prog subgenres.
01:53:12.079 --> 01:53:15.920
I gotta say, as a prog fan, I have eaten well this year.
01:53:16.079 --> 01:53:19.680
This has just been an incredible year for prog on OCR.
01:53:19.920 --> 01:53:21.039
And also jazz.
01:53:21.520 --> 01:53:24.079
And also, I hear you, Humophaliac.
01:53:24.319 --> 01:53:27.600
That is a smooth sticker push symphony.
01:53:28.079 --> 01:53:34.000
Gotta also shout out Morgan, who went from debuting in April to having seven mixed posts.
01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:36.239
That's gotta be some kind of record.
02:10:35.600 --> 02:10:40.560
That was Yazoo by Zack Parrish, Gamer of the Winds, Prophetic Music, and T.
02:10:40.720 --> 02:10:43.600
Sori from Croc, Legend of the Gabos.
02:10:44.000 --> 02:10:49.039
After that was Asgore in Wonderland by Lucas Guimares from Undertale.
02:10:49.600 --> 02:10:56.640
Following that was Middy's Lament by Chimpazilla and Trait from The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess.
02:10:56.880 --> 02:11:01.840
Finally, we have Catactras by Rakos from Chronicon.
02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:04.399
Oh, Krok.
02:11:04.880 --> 02:11:09.039
I don't know why, but I really, really wanted to play Kroc when it came out.
02:11:09.279 --> 02:11:19.920
Alas, I did not have any of the newfangled 3D consoles, and I couldn't stoke enough interest for a weekend rental from any of my friends who did have the newfangled 3D consoles.
02:11:20.159 --> 02:11:27.520
They were all busy with Crash Bandicoot, or in the case of the one guy I knew who had a Sega Saturn, alien trilogy.
02:11:28.000 --> 02:11:35.520
I've heard in the end the game was kinda mediocre, but but what was not mediocre at all was that bouncy little mix.
02:11:35.680 --> 02:11:38.159
Very reminiscent of Mario 3D World.
02:11:38.479 --> 02:11:40.720
Anyway, time for that segment.
02:12:13.760 --> 02:12:24.239
So, what you're hearing right now is Hakaranda Dreams by Diluk from SimCity 4, and also from the new album Time Shift.
02:12:24.399 --> 02:12:27.439
And I hope you guys are ready for something different.
02:12:27.760 --> 02:12:34.000
We had a bit of a birthday bash a couple of weeks ago, and recorded the whole thing.
02:12:34.159 --> 02:12:39.760
This is the podcast's very first segment where you can listen to someone besides me.
02:12:40.079 --> 02:12:41.760
And we're talking Time Shift.
02:12:42.000 --> 02:12:51.600
So I guess this is the live section of the podcast, so all the listeners are about to figure out that uh if I don't write it ahead of time, I'm not particularly eloquent.
02:12:51.920 --> 02:12:56.000
Um, but maybe these other people are.
02:12:56.319 --> 02:13:09.199
Uh how about we introduce ourselves in alphabetical order, starting with which is convenient because that's how Discord lists everyone, which means I'll be last, but Colorado will be first.
02:13:09.520 --> 02:13:10.399
Oh, hi.
02:13:10.640 --> 02:13:15.359
Um, I'm Colorado Weeks, singer, songwriter, spam bot.
02:13:15.520 --> 02:13:18.960
I'll I'll put it as audio poop poster.
02:13:19.199 --> 02:13:19.680
Yeah.
02:13:19.920 --> 02:13:23.520
I I do remixes and I post a lot of memes.
02:13:23.920 --> 02:13:25.279
Alright, next.
02:13:25.760 --> 02:13:27.680
Alright, hey, uh what's up?
02:13:27.760 --> 02:13:29.920
It's your boy, David El Puga.
02:13:30.079 --> 02:13:33.199
Uh I do music and I do other things.
02:13:33.359 --> 02:13:35.520
Uh been on OCR for a while.
02:13:35.680 --> 02:13:38.239
I did badass albums.
02:13:38.560 --> 02:13:42.560
Which uh oddly enough, uh December is the anniversary of.
02:13:42.800 --> 02:13:44.720
And uh great to be here, guys.
02:13:44.880 --> 02:13:45.279
Yeah.
02:13:45.600 --> 02:13:48.079
Hi there, uh my name is Tylock.
02:13:48.399 --> 02:13:52.239
I'm the uh director of the Time Shift album.
02:13:52.560 --> 02:14:09.039
I'm also singer, songwriter, uh making uh silly little things uh occasionally that uh make their way into GameSet Mesh and hopefully across the uh uh into the good box of the judges panel.
02:14:09.279 --> 02:14:13.600
Well we we do have some judges here, so now's a good time to butter them up.
02:14:13.760 --> 02:14:16.000
Uh hi, I'm Paradidals Josh.
02:14:16.399 --> 02:14:23.600
I'm Pixel Seth, our artist, guitarist and drummer, pixel artist, game designer, you know, the whole deal.
02:14:23.840 --> 02:14:24.319
Straight.
02:14:24.640 --> 02:14:25.600
Also the twins.
02:14:25.680 --> 02:14:27.199
I mean, you'll you'll see us around.
02:14:27.359 --> 02:14:29.760
We have probably yes and or no to your tracks.
02:14:30.000 --> 02:14:34.640
I think and the pot I have referred to you at some point as the twin sages.
02:14:34.880 --> 02:14:36.720
Uh we were for a time.
02:14:37.119 --> 02:14:37.600
Indeed.
02:14:37.760 --> 02:14:42.399
And also, you know, Final Fantasy IV is a fun thing to reference.
02:14:42.640 --> 02:14:43.840
Uh alright.
02:14:44.000 --> 02:14:46.720
We've we've got a big jump in the alphabet now.
02:14:46.960 --> 02:14:50.880
Yep, and um I've I've been remixing for quite some time um as well.
02:14:50.960 --> 02:14:52.800
Um is it really Zalif?
02:14:52.880 --> 02:14:54.479
I've been pronouncing it Zalif this whole time.
02:14:55.119 --> 02:14:55.920
Ah, it's totally fine.
02:14:56.239 --> 02:14:56.720
Not a fun.
02:14:56.960 --> 02:14:57.840
Yeah, no, I don't like it.
02:15:00.159 --> 02:15:04.159
Yeah, I know I I've I've heard people pronounce it Shalef, Exalif, um, Zalif.
02:15:04.239 --> 02:15:04.800
It's it's fine.
02:15:04.880 --> 02:15:07.039
I'm I'm not I'm not judging anybody on it.
02:15:07.119 --> 02:15:08.880
It's it's a it's a made-up word.
02:15:09.119 --> 02:15:11.760
Um so that it it totally works out.
02:15:11.840 --> 02:15:14.159
But yeah, so I've I've been mixing for quite some time.
02:15:14.399 --> 02:15:20.479
Um I think my first mix was in 2002, 2003, something somewhere in there.
02:15:20.800 --> 02:15:22.720
Um maybe it was sooner than that, I can't remember.
02:15:22.880 --> 02:15:24.640
But yeah, it was it was it's it's been some time.
02:15:24.720 --> 02:15:25.840
Uh kind of doing it.
02:15:26.000 --> 02:15:27.039
I'm also a sage.
02:15:27.199 --> 02:15:33.520
Um, so um I help out people with their mixes and um do office hours and stuff.
02:15:33.840 --> 02:15:40.640
Yeah, some of us have been listening uh to Son of Chaos for like a million years on our long time.
02:15:40.880 --> 02:15:41.920
I guess that leaves me.
02:15:42.079 --> 02:15:47.600
I'll reintroduce myself because at this point, by this point I will have introduced myself.
02:15:47.840 --> 02:15:56.399
I'm Zach, I host this podcast, I played Mandolin badly, and I have made uh chiptune once.
02:15:56.640 --> 02:16:13.600
Okay, before we all got together on Discord to record, uh I asked everyone to pick a track from Time Shift, uh, which is the new hotness uh that has dropped this month.
02:16:13.840 --> 02:16:17.680
Uh and also we've got the director of that album here, which is amazing.
02:16:17.840 --> 02:16:23.840
Uh but I asked everyone to pick a track, uh, and the only criteria is you want to talk about it.
02:16:24.000 --> 02:16:29.840
It y it doesn't have to be your track, you don't even have to like it, but you do have to want to talk about it.
02:16:30.159 --> 02:16:35.120
So, uh let's everyone talk some music.
02:16:35.280 --> 02:16:37.440
Uh let's go same order again.
02:16:37.600 --> 02:16:46.559
Colorado, tell us about the Well actually no, before we do that, Dylack, tell everyone about the concept of this album and where it came from.
02:16:46.879 --> 02:16:49.200
Legitimately, it was a shower thought.
02:16:49.440 --> 02:16:59.120
Um, I literally was thinking about the impending uh 25th anniversary of Overclock Remix, and it's like, we need to do something about this.
02:16:59.280 --> 02:17:01.120
We ought to go do this, what can we do?
02:17:01.360 --> 02:17:03.840
And so I was like, well, let's let's make an album.
02:17:03.920 --> 02:17:05.920
Okay, how would I structure this album?
02:17:06.159 --> 02:17:08.559
And so I was thought, well, hold on.
02:17:08.799 --> 02:17:17.600
There's all this new music that's happened over the past 25 years that's um now become modern classics of uh video game music.
02:17:17.760 --> 02:17:20.799
And so I was like, well, why don't we look into that?
02:17:20.879 --> 02:17:41.840
And so everyone who's older than the site, so um their birthday is before December 11, 1999, um basically have to um remix from any game that was released after OCR was uh founded, uh, or the first remix came out, which is December 11, uh 1999.
02:17:42.000 --> 02:17:57.840
And uh anyone younger than the site remixes from a time before the side that way we get um a sort of a new nostalgia happening, and people are put outside of the time that they know, and that hence the name of the album being Time Shift.
02:17:58.079 --> 02:18:00.159
So that's basically the concept.
02:18:00.239 --> 02:18:03.840
So it was it's the 25th anniversary album for Overclock Remix.
02:18:04.000 --> 02:18:23.440
Uh most of the music is looking at stuff from the past 25 years, however, uh JSA Blixa being the only artist on the album younger than the site uh had to remix from before the pounding, and it's uh really interesting to see what uh they've done with the uh with the classics.
02:18:23.600 --> 02:18:26.079
So yeah, that's basically the album in a nutshell.
02:18:26.319 --> 02:18:31.440
Yeah, I I think it's fair fair to say that uh a lot of remixers have aged with the site.
02:18:31.600 --> 02:18:36.319
But yeah, uh big shout out to JSA Blixer for providing what four tracks?
02:18:36.719 --> 02:18:42.719
Uh yeah, four well, three tracks and uh contributing to uh another one.
02:18:42.879 --> 02:18:43.200
Yep.
02:18:43.360 --> 02:18:50.399
Also uh Audio Mint as well is uh younger than the site and contribute to uh one of the tracks as well.
02:18:50.799 --> 02:18:52.079
Uh well cool.
02:18:52.239 --> 02:18:55.520
We all picked uh a track that we want to talk about.
02:18:55.680 --> 02:19:04.239
So uh Colorado, why don't you tell us uh uh tell us what track you picked and uh why you picked it and what you want to say about it?
02:19:04.639 --> 02:19:05.520
Uh sure.
02:19:05.760 --> 02:19:08.479
Uh let me try and remember how this goes.
02:19:08.639 --> 02:19:13.040
I've been calling it like Fish Man Overclocked Alarm Mix, all caps.
02:19:14.399 --> 02:19:24.239
Yeah, actually, but before you go how it goes, does anyone can anyone with any confidence, without looking at it, say the full name of this track?
02:19:24.479 --> 02:19:25.680
That's not D-Luck.
02:19:26.000 --> 02:19:27.040
That's not Diluck.
02:19:27.200 --> 02:19:27.840
I got it.
02:19:28.159 --> 02:19:38.399
It is the proven it is the all-inclusive, exclusive club for hairy fishmen who shoot forever turbo alarm clocks.
02:20:11.600 --> 02:20:12.959
Hi, Colorado.
02:20:14.879 --> 02:20:16.079
Hi, Colorado.
02:20:16.159 --> 02:20:28.319
One more time, the name of that track was uh the all-inclusive exclusive club for Harry Fishman who shoot forever turbo alarm clocks.
02:20:29.680 --> 02:20:33.600
Other than the magnificent name, why did you choose this track?
02:20:34.159 --> 02:20:41.280
Um, so has anyone here played Lisa the Painful or anything in the Lisa trilogy?
02:20:41.760 --> 02:20:42.959
Never even heard of it.
02:20:43.280 --> 02:20:46.639
Yeah, I I am not aware of this game.
02:20:46.799 --> 02:20:54.559
Um, so I did a little bit of uh, you know, background research to kind of see the context of this game.
02:20:54.719 --> 02:21:00.959
And if you're looking for, you know, cozy, feel good, uh, this is not that game.
02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:06.399
If you're looking for cozy, if you're looking for feel good, this is definitely not that game.
02:21:06.559 --> 02:21:25.440
It is dark, it is upsetting, you know, it's uh dealing with very heavy subject manner, including the cycle of abuse, but despite all of that darkness, um, it is humorous, it's got a lot of heart, and it's just so absurd, just like this track.
02:21:25.920 --> 02:21:49.200
I'm all for like a really out there remix, but it is really something special to have such an out there interpretation of the track, but still embody the spirit of the game, which is what I think 100% Roamer 100% did with this track.
02:21:49.600 --> 02:22:06.799
Um it's an assault on the ears in the best way, it's harsh, it's hard-hitting, but it's a lot of fun, it's bizarre, and um 100% Roamer uh bills himself as someone uh who makes music for fish.
02:22:07.040 --> 02:22:11.280
I might not be in the Target demographic, but I enjoyed it so much.
02:22:12.559 --> 02:22:32.719
So I almost picked this track, uh, and it's it's funny that you say music for fish because this really reminds me of the soundtrack to G Darius, which I think I've talked up on the podcast before, uh, and on the Discord, which is yeah, it's very similar to this track.
02:22:32.879 --> 02:22:34.799
Um I I enjoyed it a lot.
02:22:35.120 --> 02:22:39.760
I just want to say that the entirety of the indigo section is built around this track.
02:22:39.920 --> 02:22:41.680
That's why everything is where it is.
02:22:42.000 --> 02:22:48.399
It was interesting uh listening to it in the whatnot, like the release candidate.
02:22:48.479 --> 02:22:56.719
We did uh like a final workshop listen through of the the album um before we finalized it and like sent it off to Chris Kohler to get mastered.
02:22:56.959 --> 02:22:59.520
And most of us had not heard it.
02:22:59.680 --> 02:23:02.719
Like uh Romer kept it like pretty close to the chest.
02:23:02.879 --> 02:23:10.959
Yeah, he and several other uh mixes that ended up being on the final release, we didn't even get to hear until like that listen through.
02:23:11.120 --> 02:23:14.799
And for most of us, we were like, What is with these crazy ass noises?
02:23:15.280 --> 02:23:16.639
What is going on here?
02:23:16.879 --> 02:23:18.239
This doesn't make any sense.
02:23:18.399 --> 02:23:19.200
It's wild.
02:23:19.440 --> 02:23:24.559
I I don't know what's happening, and I enjoyed it, question mark.
02:23:24.959 --> 02:23:27.440
It it it's one that it it grew on me.
02:23:27.600 --> 02:23:33.120
It uh the first time I heard it, I was bamboozled, and then I'm grew to accept it.
02:23:33.360 --> 02:23:39.600
It's one of the tracks that kind of really again, not to go back to, but like my it's been on my in my brain because of the month.
02:23:39.760 --> 02:23:45.680
Uh, it really sounds like something that would be in a badass album to me.
02:23:46.479 --> 02:24:04.799
Like, it's just really like we always tried to push what was an OCR remix, you know, like uh, and and do really encourage people to do really interesting things, and and sometimes you would get something like this, and it really did screen that kind of ethos of like just make something cool and fun, who gives a sh, you know, if you want.
02:24:06.000 --> 02:24:12.079
Uh and yeah, I I just really enjoy and you know the naming convention there is is that's great.
02:24:12.239 --> 02:24:23.840
I love when you can get a title and make it its own sentence, uh, and make people wonder, like, what is this about just based on the title, make them want to listen to it, and that's that's great.
02:24:24.239 --> 02:24:34.959
Buddy of mine uh who is on YouTube doing some philosophical Discord avatar is Harvey Alabaster from Lisa the Painful.
02:24:35.280 --> 02:24:47.520
And so once uh once we've got all the all the sight rigumerole figured out and it's uh posted on the page, I'm gonna make sure that Fish gets a chance to listen to this because I think they will enjoy it very much.
02:24:47.760 --> 02:24:50.159
Yeah, I it's a fantastic track.
02:24:50.319 --> 02:24:56.399
Um and if you guys enjoyed it and you haven't listened to the G Doria soundtrack yet, that's your homework.
02:24:56.719 --> 02:24:58.719
Cool! Uh DLP.
02:24:59.520 --> 02:25:01.440
You uh uh you want to talk about the track you picked?
02:25:01.680 --> 02:25:05.440
We already kind of talked about what I wanted to get into, but I'll just continue on that conversation.
02:25:05.520 --> 02:25:09.760
I picked uh JSA Blixer, I believe is how you say it.
02:25:09.840 --> 02:25:15.600
Um and in particular, I picked uh the uh quarters of time shift.
02:25:45.520 --> 02:25:46.399
Uh track.
02:25:46.959 --> 02:25:49.600
I I went back and forth between all three of them.
02:25:49.840 --> 02:25:56.879
Um mostly because I just appreciate the hustle of the of of taking on that many tracks on a pr on a project.
02:25:56.959 --> 02:26:00.879
I've done that before, uh, and it's never an easy task.
02:26:01.040 --> 02:26:05.680
Uh and yeah, every single one of them just hit really hard.
02:26:05.760 --> 02:26:37.280
And you know, I I started doing uh Chip Tune, modern chiptunes, what I call it, and it's really hard to get that to sound great and like stand on its own and to do that that many times in an album with that many different old classic tracks and making them sound new, and also kind of nostalgic in a different way, because I I haven't played uh Chrono Trigger, I know, uh, and there's a lot of stuff I need to catch up on, but it reminded me a lot of the Cave Stories uh soundtrack from when I was a younger man.
02:26:37.680 --> 02:26:42.639
Uh and it was great to be able to hear that kind of like, you know.
02:26:43.040 --> 02:26:47.040
Still getting nostalgia from a thing that I never played from other things in it.
02:26:47.200 --> 02:26:50.000
Like the instrumentation, the way it's it's put together.
02:26:50.079 --> 02:27:02.959
It was just really hitting everything I needed to hit to just make me think of you know simpler times, if you will, but also like just jamming and groovy at the same time.
02:27:03.120 --> 02:27:09.680
Uh and you know, again, just that many tracks on one album, that is, you know, applause here.
02:27:10.000 --> 02:27:13.280
Uh and yeah, you know, just just just well done.
02:27:13.600 --> 02:27:15.040
Huge props.
02:27:15.280 --> 02:27:33.360
And I I also really appreciated uh the choice of Quarters of Time in particular, because I'm I'm scrolling through now and I think that is the oh no, that is I think the second most remixed song on all of OCR.
02:27:33.520 --> 02:27:38.159
Like Corridors of Time has oh yeah, Quarters of Time has 30 remixes.
02:27:38.239 --> 02:27:42.879
It's beaten by Terra from Final Fantasy VI, which has 33.
02:27:43.040 --> 02:27:54.000
Um, but like I I really appreciate that as, you know, given the concept of the album and the inspiration for the album, to do something that has that much history on OCR.
02:27:54.239 --> 02:27:54.639
Definitely.
02:27:54.959 --> 02:28:09.120
That was sort of that was also part of the uh appeal um that I wanted with the album as well, is to look back uh at the past 25 years and I call uh Corridors of Time the national anthem source of overclock remix.
02:28:09.360 --> 02:28:19.200
Um I like that because it it's basically it's I mean, yeah, okay, Terror and uh Legend of Zelda uh Hyrule Field theme.
02:28:19.280 --> 02:28:31.440
Um yeah, okay, they might get more remixes, but there's something very iconic about um about the Seal Kingdom theme, and I think in a way Overclock remix has made it its own.
02:28:31.840 --> 02:28:39.280
And um just yeah, like what uh David said, the nostalgia in this um is amazing.
02:28:39.520 --> 02:28:43.280
Uh there's two things I want to jump in here and say.
02:28:43.440 --> 02:28:53.680
Uh having uh I think everyone here except for DLP and Zach have worked with uh Blixr uh as like in some fashion.
02:28:53.840 --> 02:28:56.639
Um and so we can all sort of speak to that a little bit.
02:28:56.719 --> 02:29:01.840
So JSA Blixr does she pulls from hardware.
02:29:02.000 --> 02:29:13.280
Uh all of all of her Game Boy Color sounds and Game Boy sounds are off of LSDJ, like right from the hardware, and I believe it's two Game Boys recorded in total.
02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:20.959
Um occasionally she'll use an emulator for GVA sounds, um, but LSDJ with two Game Boys is the typical setup.
02:29:21.200 --> 02:29:46.479
And in corridors of Tineships specifically, the sounds that you hear between the brakes, like the kind of bookend section one and uh section three, that's uh those are that's fully that JSA recorded of pulling out the cartridge and loading it in and then also blowing it to clear the you know the old school blowing on the cartridge sound.
02:29:46.559 --> 02:29:48.639
Like that's that's recorded in there.
02:29:48.879 --> 02:29:59.840
Um and it's it's enjoyable working with Blixr getting chips right from it, even if it's also sometimes a headache and a little bit of a pain to mix over and over.
02:30:00.239 --> 02:30:01.920
That just makes it wow.
02:30:02.000 --> 02:30:04.000
That it adds a whole new dimension to it.
02:30:04.319 --> 02:30:04.799
Yep.
02:30:05.360 --> 02:30:06.000
Amazing.
02:30:06.239 --> 02:30:10.959
JC Blixr, you have become a new favorite of mine.
02:30:11.360 --> 02:30:13.520
Yeah, that's incredible.
02:30:13.760 --> 02:30:22.959
Um I think it's uh the game composer and chip tuner Chipzil does uh the same thing.
02:30:23.200 --> 02:30:30.879
Uh you know, uh all the games she's worked on have been like two Game Boys, uh LSDJ, just go.
02:30:31.520 --> 02:30:35.440
Uh two Game Boy cartridges and a microphone, hell yeah.
02:30:35.680 --> 02:30:38.079
Yeah, exactly.
02:30:38.479 --> 02:30:40.239
That was a Game Boy break.
02:30:40.479 --> 02:30:43.600
Yeah, it still amazes me with uh Blitz.
02:30:43.680 --> 02:30:50.079
Like, she is making music on hardware that is much older than her.
02:30:50.399 --> 02:30:54.719
So yes, that is the truth.
02:30:55.040 --> 02:31:00.319
I wanted to argue about the the word much, uh, but I think I just need to admit that I'm old.
02:31:00.559 --> 02:31:02.239
Yeah, I mean that hurt me to hear that.
02:31:02.399 --> 02:31:03.840
I was like, oh god.
02:31:05.360 --> 02:31:15.600
We'll say those pulse channels on the Game Boy Color have a very special place in my heart as someone who played a lot of Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Gold on long road trips.
02:31:15.760 --> 02:31:17.920
Every time Blixir puts out something new.
02:31:18.159 --> 02:31:31.360
Yeah, uh Josh and I have a side project with Blixr that we call Audio Processing Unit, uh, that we've done a couple of tracks together, and I I look forward to doing more in 2026.
02:31:31.680 --> 02:31:33.200
I I look forward to hearing them.
02:31:33.440 --> 02:31:37.760
I need to start a whole new project to work with her, I think, at this point.
02:31:38.000 --> 02:31:44.239
Yep, so one one thing I would say is um I've worked with her on quite a few collabs.
02:31:44.639 --> 02:32:02.479
Um and I would say like even if she didn't use the LSDJ, I her attention to music in general and uh theory and um I don't know, like it's it's she's incredibly creative, but it's incredibly solid.
02:32:02.639 --> 02:32:05.680
Like all of her songs are are really well formed.
02:32:05.840 --> 02:32:11.280
Um so anytime she asks me for advice, usually it's it's something that's incredibly minor.
02:32:11.440 --> 02:32:16.639
Like it's um like she she already has most of the the things that she needs in spades.
02:32:17.360 --> 02:32:22.799
Um what shows in every track in this this project, go listen to it if you haven't.
02:32:23.040 --> 02:32:25.040
Any one of them, all of them.
02:32:25.920 --> 02:32:26.879
Listen to the album.
02:32:26.959 --> 02:32:27.840
Who am I talking about?
02:32:27.920 --> 02:32:28.959
Listen to the whole thing.
02:32:29.600 --> 02:32:35.280
Listen to uh listen to Blix's tracks, and yeah, they you can hear everything you just said, Zelov.
02:32:35.440 --> 02:32:36.079
It it's yeah.
02:32:36.399 --> 02:32:42.000
I think the only advice I had to give it was basically hey, there's a frequency that's coming through, make sure you uh EQ that out.
02:32:42.079 --> 02:32:43.360
That was that's all I had to say.
02:32:43.600 --> 02:32:46.959
So what I'm hearing is she makes things easy on the judges.
02:32:47.280 --> 02:32:49.760
Well good guess, but actually no.
02:32:49.920 --> 02:32:56.959
Yeah, uh historically, Chiptune has a hard time um passing the panel unless it's like Chiptune Plus.
02:32:57.200 --> 02:33:01.120
I yeah, I remember uh I'm gonna really show my age here.
02:33:01.200 --> 02:33:08.239
There's a maze dude track from Earthbound called I think C64, but like spelled out.
02:33:08.719 --> 02:33:13.040
Um and I remember there being like drama about that track.
02:33:13.440 --> 02:33:14.639
Classic track, by the way.
02:33:14.799 --> 02:33:16.079
Oh yeah, absolutely classic.
02:33:16.319 --> 02:33:53.200
It's it like chiptune is one of those things on the panel that if you are being historically accurate and like uh limited exclusively to what the hardware is capable of, the panel isn't gonna like it very much because it's mono, it has a lot of annoying to listen to frequencies, and unless the programming of it musically is such that despite all of that, it's too good to pass, it's gonna get no for not being stereo, for uh having limited voicing, for having too much repetition, etc.
02:33:53.440 --> 02:33:53.680
etc.
02:33:54.000 --> 02:33:58.079
Like chip tune alone struggles a lot on the panel.
02:33:58.559 --> 02:34:00.879
Even if it's too Game Boys?
02:34:01.360 --> 02:34:21.360
Yeah, uh, because if there isn't any uh if there's no stereo effects or like anything that makes the mixing like make it pop, it's hard for one of those to stand out, even from an arrangement standpoint, because you know OCR loves having a well-produced for a hobbyist, you know, mix.
02:34:21.680 --> 02:34:25.440
So everybody listening out there, you just dump a stereo widener on it.
02:34:25.520 --> 02:34:26.479
Just have fun.
02:34:27.680 --> 02:34:54.239
Um there's a chip tuner named uh VAV, VAV, that I forget what they call it, but basically uh at some point uh actually made a hardware device capable of doing this, but put together like the the sound chips of the Game Boy, the Super Nintendo, and the Sega Genesis, and makes these amazing combo chip tunes.
02:34:54.479 --> 02:35:01.200
Um not really relevant to Time Shift, just I wanted to say everyone go listen.
02:35:01.840 --> 02:35:05.760
Uh cool, Dilek, uh album director.
02:35:06.159 --> 02:35:08.639
What track uh did you bring?
02:35:08.799 --> 02:35:12.719
And I I want to clarify, you know, this isn't necessarily your favorite.
02:35:12.799 --> 02:35:14.559
I'm sure you don't play favorites.
02:35:14.959 --> 02:35:18.159
Uh, but what track did you did you bring to show and tell?
02:35:18.399 --> 02:35:24.319
Uh well, yeah, I I've heard uh all of 19 tracks on this so many times.
02:35:24.559 --> 02:35:33.280
Um, but the one that I find myself coming back to again and again is uh Morgan's track, uh Along Night Till Morning Comes.
02:36:17.200 --> 02:36:57.040
Um Morgan really dug into their um nostalgia and their memories, and they um really um basically were like um well what what really means something to me and so they uh went for Animal Crossing Wild World and the whole of their um whole of it is based off uh the 1am tune, which is normally a tune that not many people are familiar with given its time of day when it when it plays, and of course Animal Crossing being a time-based uh game in real time, uh unless you do silly things that make um moles mad.
02:36:57.120 --> 02:37:05.440
But anyway, um the uh um the thing about that really gets to me is the nostalgia and Morgan captures it.
02:37:05.680 --> 02:37:16.159
Um it's got all these wonderful elements all just mixed together into this beautiful swirling spiraling form.
02:37:16.479 --> 02:37:19.440
Uh it's it's basically it's a three-act play.
02:37:19.680 --> 02:37:36.000
Um we go from the 1am theme uh into the middle section and um around around 125 in it, that um percussion is actually a DS stylus being tapped on the DS.
02:37:36.159 --> 02:37:40.479
Um no way! Yeah, that's um that's what that is.
02:37:41.360 --> 02:37:42.479
Oh that's great.
02:37:42.799 --> 02:37:46.159
Yeah, it's uh it's an absolute genius move.
02:37:46.239 --> 02:37:55.680
And then um they did a reverse guitar of the roost theme that comes in around 1 minute 50, and that gets me every time.
02:37:55.840 --> 02:38:09.600
It's something so I mean I mean it's just the it's just the cafe theme, but there's something so heartfelt and so yearning and longing for simpler times in that tune.
02:38:09.840 --> 02:38:23.520
Um it then just basically ends on a um uh it ends on on a sadness because I mean it's nostalgia and it's it's you know meant to be uh represent those nights of all game all night gaming that we did when we were younger.
02:38:23.840 --> 02:38:33.520
And of course, you know, we sort of remember back on those times with joy and with sadness because we can't really do that much these days as soon as you know we all grow up, we have a life.
02:38:33.680 --> 02:38:35.920
But I mean we can do it, but we're gonna regret it.
02:38:36.000 --> 02:38:36.559
I'm just gonna do it.
02:38:36.719 --> 02:38:37.360
Exactly.
02:38:37.600 --> 02:38:38.479
Exactly.
02:38:38.799 --> 02:38:47.520
But the the other thing about this track is when I went to Jose uh or Jose came to me and said, How do you want the trailer to be built?
02:38:47.600 --> 02:39:02.479
I was like, okay, uh, I want first quarter of Jacaranda Dreams as the opening, I want corridors of time mixed through it, and I want the end of um a long night till morning comes to be the final notes you hear in the trailer.
02:39:02.639 --> 02:39:12.479
Um so just because of that whole nostalgia um aspect of it, and so that's why it's the last notes in the trailer.
02:39:12.799 --> 02:39:18.319
So I think this is the fourth Morgan track on the podcast.
02:39:18.719 --> 02:39:28.879
Uh and I don't have the musical vocabulary, but Morgan has like a sound, and I love it.
02:39:29.040 --> 02:39:39.200
And maybe one of you has like more of the musical vocabulary to talk about this, but there's just something I I I don't have the words.
02:39:39.920 --> 02:39:42.959
I wish I could speak to the more to the musicality.
02:39:43.040 --> 02:39:51.600
Uh Morgan as a producer, uh not just for music, but like doing videos uh on YouTube.
02:39:51.920 --> 02:39:54.159
It is well worth your time if you're a musician.
02:39:54.319 --> 02:39:57.520
Uh Morgan has a like historical deep dive.
02:39:57.600 --> 02:39:59.360
I think it's like an hour or something long.
02:39:59.600 --> 02:40:06.479
Uh the premise is to build the perfect snare drum sound and like the history of the snare drum.
02:40:06.719 --> 02:40:08.000
I'm not gonna spoil it.
02:40:08.079 --> 02:40:17.040
It's well worth if you're a musician or not a musician, Morgan goes to the T of doing the research and then making the greatest snare drum sound of all time.
02:40:17.200 --> 02:40:21.120
Uh and I say that without any hyperbole.
02:40:21.200 --> 02:40:25.520
Uh even without hyperbole, finding a perfect drum sound sucks most of the time.
02:40:25.840 --> 02:40:26.319
It does.
02:40:26.399 --> 02:40:29.760
Uh, and you get to see Morgan's process the whole way through it.
02:40:29.920 --> 02:40:33.440
Um, I I've I've gotten to work with Morgan on a few tracks.
02:40:33.760 --> 02:40:36.479
Morgan is so fun to work with.
02:40:36.799 --> 02:40:48.479
Uh in fact, if you work with uh either Morgan or uh Eminator, they both and it must be familial, they have this like exuberance when working with them.
02:40:48.559 --> 02:41:13.120
Like there's an excitement, there's uh uh they have they're very yes and like uh collaborators, which is always fun to to work with people who are yes and and uh Morgan will go and like with as much creativity as you would hope for in a collaborative partner, find Foley, make weird samples, like just super fun.
02:41:13.280 --> 02:41:19.680
I I I know we're not supposed to in dwelling in duels like uh break anonymity.
02:41:20.079 --> 02:41:23.440
Occasion and I I think this is sort of what you're speaking to, Zach.
02:41:23.520 --> 02:41:31.280
Like, uh we'll hear us uh like a track come on and it will sound like none of the other participants, and I'm like, is that Morgan?
02:41:31.520 --> 02:41:33.120
It's gotta be Morgan, right?
02:41:34.239 --> 02:41:43.920
Okay, so so first of all, I'm gonna ask you to drop that video in a link to that video in chat so that I can watch it later and also put it in the show notes.
02:41:44.159 --> 02:41:46.079
Uh, because that sounds fascinating.
02:41:46.559 --> 02:41:48.799
Could I say one more thing about this too?
02:41:49.200 --> 02:41:49.760
Absolutely.
02:41:50.000 --> 02:41:57.360
And talking about like nostalgia and like OCR through the years, uh and I and I I hate to compare things, right?
02:41:57.440 --> 02:42:11.120
Uh but this track, Morgan it had a very there's a specific subtype of song that got submitted uh for a while, and one of the the biggest, I guess the top of that that comes to my mind is Scripnik.
02:42:11.440 --> 02:42:29.680
And it had that really Scriptnik sound in it, which I I love all of Scripnik's uh mixes from the site, and it really brought back that same kind of feeling I got from a lot of of those uh remixes, and and and I think that's really interesting in this, and that you know it's nostalg again, it's nostalgia in a bunch of different ways.
02:42:30.079 --> 02:42:31.120
Oh, Scriptnik.
02:42:31.360 --> 02:42:32.079
I like drums.
02:42:32.319 --> 02:42:33.360
That's all you need to know.
02:42:33.680 --> 02:42:33.920
Yeah.
02:42:35.120 --> 02:42:46.639
So yeah, I just it was this whole album has really, really hit, I guess, what it's supposed to be, with that that time shift that you know through the OCR through the ages, if you will, which I hate because it keeps dating me.
02:42:46.879 --> 02:42:55.840
But you know, it's really good job on this, everybody, you know, who had anything to do with this project, right?
02:42:56.159 --> 02:42:58.079
And you for directing it.
02:42:58.159 --> 02:43:00.799
Like, this is this is a great project.
02:43:01.280 --> 02:43:11.440
Uh yeah, we'll we'll get into it more when we get to my track, but like my criterion for the track I wanted to select was what hit me in the nostalgia the hardest.
02:43:11.680 --> 02:43:12.719
Um, yeah.
02:43:12.959 --> 02:43:16.879
Amazing round of applause applause, amazing project.
02:43:16.959 --> 02:43:18.559
I'm so glad it came together.
02:43:18.879 --> 02:43:21.280
Um I'm I'm really thrilled by it as well.
02:43:21.440 --> 02:43:26.079
It it has been a journey and it's been such a a worthwhile experience.
02:43:26.239 --> 02:43:29.440
So um Is this the first album you've directed?
02:43:29.680 --> 02:43:36.319
This is the first album I've directed, and um I'm gonna go ahead and do it again uh sometime very soon, probably.
02:43:36.399 --> 02:43:37.200
So, yes.
02:43:37.520 --> 02:43:38.479
Ooh, ooh.
02:43:39.280 --> 02:43:41.520
Is this a podcast scoop?
02:43:41.840 --> 02:43:43.920
Uh this is a podcast scoop.
02:43:44.159 --> 02:43:50.559
Uh so I mean I have mentioned it uh kind of in passing, and there's a couple of Easter eggs here and there around the place.
02:43:50.799 --> 02:43:57.440
But um next project is going to be Illusion of Time, Stroke Illusion of Gaia, depending which side of the Atlantic you're from.
02:43:57.760 --> 02:44:01.440
And um that's uh gonna be starting sometime in the new year.
02:44:01.760 --> 02:44:05.120
I had no idea that game had a different name on the other side of the Atlantic.
02:44:05.360 --> 02:44:08.239
Yeah, uh it was released in PAL Territories' Illusion of Time.
02:44:08.319 --> 02:44:10.879
I guess it was um some sort of copywriting thing.
02:44:10.959 --> 02:44:13.040
There's a difference between Star Wing and Star Fox same.
02:44:14.239 --> 02:44:14.479
Yeah.
02:44:14.959 --> 02:44:16.399
Well, cool.
02:44:16.639 --> 02:44:18.319
Uh thanks for the scoop.
02:44:18.399 --> 02:44:22.879
I'll I'll put like a news program sting in before that.
02:44:23.200 --> 02:44:26.239
Paradiddles Josh, you wanna you wanna talk about your track?
02:44:26.479 --> 02:44:29.120
Or not necessarily your track, but the track you picked.
02:44:29.360 --> 02:44:31.200
So I did not pick my track.
02:44:31.440 --> 02:44:31.760
Oh.
02:44:32.479 --> 02:44:35.200
Oh, did I can't remember I can't remember who picked it back?
02:44:35.520 --> 02:44:37.120
That's because I picked our track.
02:44:37.440 --> 02:44:39.920
Oh I see.
02:44:40.239 --> 02:44:40.479
Yeah.
02:44:40.719 --> 02:44:41.760
Alright, do the twin thing.
02:44:41.840 --> 02:44:43.280
Talk about the track together.
02:44:43.760 --> 02:44:46.479
Okay, but should should we do ours first?
02:44:47.200 --> 02:44:50.000
No, you do yours first, and and we'll we'll segue to mine.
02:44:50.399 --> 02:44:51.280
Okay, no worries.
02:44:51.440 --> 02:44:52.079
No worries.
02:44:52.399 --> 02:45:00.879
So I picked Shafts of Sunlight by Mel Decision featuring Trait, uh, covering City on the Mesa from Horizon Zero Dawn.
02:45:17.520 --> 02:45:24.399
Oh great sun, make treaty with the moon to give our fallen quiet rest.
02:45:26.159 --> 02:45:29.440
Furnish them with the armor of your brazen heat.
02:45:30.639 --> 02:45:33.440
Give them shafts of sunlight for spears.
02:45:34.799 --> 02:45:38.639
Illuminate the path to the skies for each one of them.
02:45:40.559 --> 02:45:48.399
Let their memory and sacrifice be a beacon for all hunters, all people to follow.
02:45:56.319 --> 02:46:11.200
Now I've never played the Horizon series, um, but clear that Mel brings a lot of her love and passion for the series track to the table, um, inside Shafts of Sunlight.
02:46:11.440 --> 02:46:23.360
Um, we've heard both as collaborators on the album and as sages, um, this particular track in several of its work in progress forms.
02:46:23.520 --> 02:46:34.559
And so, um, if you haven't heard a Mel Decision track, it's worth grabbing a few because Mel is not a remixer to be slept on.
02:46:34.879 --> 02:46:37.920
There's some really cool stuff going on.
02:46:38.079 --> 02:46:48.799
Um some of it is cool sound design that you know that Trey threw in, um, shaping the bass sound with a like with a bass preset and serum.
02:46:48.959 --> 02:46:53.040
Um but there's also little bits like guitar and counter melodies.
02:46:53.280 --> 02:47:11.680
But the overall design is a it's a synth wave track that is surprisingly more uplifting and um almost like Saka and sweet kinda compared to other synth wave that I've been exposed to.
02:47:11.920 --> 02:47:19.120
Um there's a few really choice sound bites from Horizon Zero Dawn that that show up in the track.
02:47:19.280 --> 02:47:29.360
Um and the the back third of it just has this amazing shift into a more heroic, triumphant kind of feel to it.
02:47:29.600 --> 02:47:43.200
Um The Judges panel was a little split on it because it is kind of one note in terms of how it how it pushes rhythmically, but that's kind of a feature and not a bug when it comes to Synthwave.
02:47:43.280 --> 02:47:49.200
Um I just it was really cool to see this one evolve, and that's why I picked it ultimately.
02:47:49.520 --> 02:47:52.479
I also really enjoyed- I mean I enjoyed the whole album.
02:47:52.559 --> 02:47:55.040
It was it was good, but I really enjoyed this track.
02:47:55.200 --> 02:48:00.479
Uh despite the fact that I really did not enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn itself.
02:48:00.639 --> 02:48:03.120
Like, I'm glad Mel is a huge fan.
02:48:03.360 --> 02:48:06.000
Uh not the game for me though.
02:48:06.559 --> 02:48:21.600
Yeah, um Shaft of Sunlight was the first um, well, in its uh various incarnations, it was the first um work in progress to be presented, and as soon as I heard it, I was like, okay, this album is gonna work.
02:48:21.680 --> 02:48:23.040
We're on to something here.
02:48:23.280 --> 02:48:33.840
So um it holds a special place for me as well because of it being the first uh work in progress and just sort of affirming that, yeah, I can do this, I can do this project.
02:48:34.079 --> 02:48:53.680
I'm I'm curious as some uh as uh especially uh the the sages and judges here, uh having heard this uh in different incarnations, and of course also, you know, the director, having heard this track in different incarnations, uh at what point did all the NPC clips get thrown in?
02:48:53.760 --> 02:48:55.360
Because I really enjoyed those.
02:48:55.760 --> 02:48:57.360
I want to say immediately?
02:48:57.840 --> 02:49:00.559
At least since the second work in progress, right?
02:49:00.799 --> 02:49:02.239
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
02:49:02.559 --> 02:49:10.159
Uh like the the volume of those sound clips uh had to be adjusted over the course of the whips.
02:49:10.319 --> 02:49:16.159
Like that's that's one of the things that that really got you know honed in on for Mel's track.
02:49:16.319 --> 02:49:21.200
Also, shout out to all the game set mash for Team Mega's homies.
02:49:21.760 --> 02:49:24.399
Yeah, we got we got three of them here in the chat.
02:49:24.639 --> 02:49:25.600
Yay! Hello.
02:49:26.000 --> 02:49:27.600
We are your personal peacock.
02:49:27.760 --> 02:49:28.079
Anyway.
02:49:30.079 --> 02:49:33.840
Yeah, uh I hate to be so self-indulgent.
02:49:33.920 --> 02:49:37.360
Uh it's just I I rarely get to talk about this particular track.
02:49:37.440 --> 02:49:49.760
So I I'm bringing Children of Light to the table, which is which is uh it so it's Final Fantasy Fourteen, specifically, it's a Realm Reborn and Shadowbringers.
02:50:42.639 --> 02:50:56.000
Which is in the fandom, but in the player base at large, uh we like for Final Fantasy XIV, we seem to regard More Than Truth as the like kind of the main theme for your warrior of light.
02:50:56.159 --> 02:51:05.760
It it plays during pivotal moments uh that are like key to the story in the the you know the main questline as you go through.
02:51:05.920 --> 02:51:10.879
Uh yes, we do need more Final Fantasy XIV songs, and so I'm just doing my part.
02:51:11.200 --> 02:51:18.239
Uh when Time Shift came up, I like there's a there's a lot of games that are uh young.
02:51:18.559 --> 02:51:21.920
Are we calling them young for the purposes instead of like the oldies?
02:51:22.639 --> 02:51:27.280
There's a lot of the youngins that I could have picked from, but I had just finished Shadowbringers.
02:51:27.360 --> 02:51:30.079
Like I like modern because that makes me feel better.
02:51:30.319 --> 02:51:31.120
Modern's good.
02:51:34.879 --> 02:51:45.040
Uh I had just finished Shadowbringers, and Shadowbringers is a giant gut puncher from probably start to finish as an expansion.
02:51:45.280 --> 02:51:53.520
Um I don't want to talk too much about the expansion itself, but the reason I picked it is because of the deep emotional draw.
02:51:53.920 --> 02:51:57.760
Um I wanted to do uh like a big vocal track.
02:51:57.920 --> 02:52:13.040
I wanted to do big nine-minute, you know, progressive metal uh like kind of take on that theme in the style of like Mastodon, which uh like there's a lot of like calls to that.
02:52:13.120 --> 02:52:17.520
Like stylistically, I do a lot of you know, and I think you've called it out, Zach, in the show.
02:52:17.680 --> 02:52:22.399
Like, there's a lot of kind of progressive metal stuff that comes from Pixels and Paradiddles.
02:52:22.559 --> 02:52:26.879
We we draw a lot from like Gojira and Mastodon and and Tool.
02:52:27.440 --> 02:52:31.520
When I'm not listening to video game music, I'm usually listening to progressive metal.
02:52:31.680 --> 02:52:43.680
Uh and I would I you know there's sections of this that what I heard more than uh Mastodon or Tool uh was or Gojira even was uh I heard some Haken in there.
02:52:43.920 --> 02:52:47.120
Yeah, uh that's they're they're a little bit on my playlist.
02:52:47.280 --> 02:52:54.399
Uh there's uh one of the inspirations in it also is uh oh what is the name of that band?
02:52:54.559 --> 02:52:55.840
They do the song The Flood.
02:52:57.840 --> 02:53:01.040
The first thing that came to mind was they might be giants, and that's definitely not it.
02:53:01.360 --> 02:53:03.760
No, they were just on uh Museura.
02:53:04.319 --> 02:53:05.760
Um Lepros.
02:53:06.000 --> 02:53:08.319
There's an S in there, it just doesn't start with there.
02:53:08.479 --> 02:53:11.440
Uh like Lepros was a huge inspiration for it.
02:53:11.680 --> 02:53:17.920
Um specifically uh from Mastodon, I think it is the last Baron.
02:53:18.079 --> 02:53:39.840
Um, the kind of the riff that is in the bridge that starts the bridge section is like the vast majority of like the underlying pieces of how it came together were like a set of riffs that I'd been practicing that had no melodic content to go over them, they were just riffs, and my everyone's got their own process for making things.
02:53:40.000 --> 02:53:49.200
I tend to define how I start a remix by finding the riff, like quote unquote the riff, and then work from there.
02:53:49.680 --> 02:53:51.520
And the riff can be anything.
02:53:51.680 --> 02:54:02.239
In this case, it was the like the arpagiated guitar line that is underneath the like after you pass the intro when we get to the first ver vocal section.
02:54:02.559 --> 02:54:10.399
That thing was the start of like once I could put more than truth over on top of that, everything clicked into place from there.
02:54:10.879 --> 02:54:21.920
Um, and I was really concerned that there wasn't gonna be enough Final Fantasy in it, and so I was able to find ways to include uh like the prelude in it.
02:54:22.399 --> 02:54:23.920
You got to, it's like a rule.
02:54:24.159 --> 02:54:28.239
Uh I I hope it's a rule, uh, because it is now.
02:54:28.319 --> 02:54:36.079
Uh I found a way to do it in 6-8 and 6-4 instead of in 4-4, which was harder to do than you might think.
02:54:36.479 --> 02:54:48.079
Um especially not using um not using the exactly like underlying chord structures underneath it to have something you know different.
02:54:48.319 --> 02:54:54.079
Um it it kind of pulls a little bit like a perfect circle during those sections.
02:54:54.239 --> 02:54:57.200
Uh especially like with the guitar leads.
02:54:57.440 --> 02:55:14.639
Um Welling of Duel's heads, we'll we'll notice that there's a particular uh saucy lead line that transitions out of the first guitar solo into like the thing at the bridge, and if you could spot it, yes, I did it just for you.
02:55:15.280 --> 02:55:18.399
Um I did that to go in Jackaranda Dreams.
02:55:18.639 --> 02:55:20.399
Yeah, like you you got it.
02:55:20.559 --> 02:55:28.000
Uh this is a family podcast, so we will not be calling it by the tongue-in-cheap name, even though I want to.
02:55:28.159 --> 02:55:30.000
Um I did it just for you.
02:55:30.159 --> 02:55:37.360
I also uh put a call out to the like our workshop server for doing like the albums.
02:55:37.440 --> 02:55:43.200
I wanted to get more vocalists on it and get kind of a big ol' warrior of light choir.
02:55:43.600 --> 02:55:47.600
And I only got like maybe six or seven people who volunteered.
02:55:47.680 --> 02:55:51.360
I would have loved to have gotten more, but you know, you gotta make the track.
02:55:51.440 --> 02:55:54.959
You can't sit there and wait, you know, all day to get everything.
02:55:55.440 --> 02:55:59.360
So, you know, Nicole Chang threw in, Diluck threw in, uh.
02:56:00.079 --> 02:56:09.520
Adrian grabbed the gauntlet, threw in uh Voodoo Queen threw in more than what I asked, which was helpful to get more like harmony in some of the places.
02:56:10.000 --> 02:56:11.040
Uh who am I missing?
02:56:11.200 --> 02:56:18.959
Mobius threw in some synth V to kind of help fill out more of the harmonic stuff going on.
02:56:19.040 --> 02:56:23.360
Uh, you don't really hear the synth V layers as much as like they're they're there.
02:56:23.600 --> 02:56:27.920
Uh gosh me, I feel like I'm missing you're missing Mel.
02:56:28.319 --> 02:56:29.280
I am missing Mel.
02:56:29.440 --> 02:56:30.319
Is there one more?
02:56:30.479 --> 02:56:31.920
I think that that might be it.
02:56:32.159 --> 02:56:33.120
Let's look.
02:56:33.680 --> 02:56:36.559
I think that's yeah, that's that's what's on the website.
02:56:36.959 --> 02:56:37.200
Yep.
02:56:37.600 --> 02:56:41.920
So when does so you're saying the bottle in two is gonna come out and like everybody who wants to be a part of it?
02:56:42.639 --> 02:56:44.239
That would be fantastic.
02:56:44.399 --> 02:56:59.280
Although I did go kind of crazy mixing uh let's see, there are a hundred and ten instrument tracks, and there are sixty-seven vocal tracks across eight people.
02:56:59.680 --> 02:57:00.719
That is awesome.
02:57:01.040 --> 02:57:09.040
Wow, I you can't it it's way more than probably was necessary, but it it did the job.
02:57:09.120 --> 02:57:15.840
The uh Adrian you can hear very clearly in the bridge section where it goes to answers from a realm reborn.
02:57:16.079 --> 02:57:23.120
Adrian is the really low, like, like very guttural thing underneath.
02:57:23.360 --> 02:57:27.520
Um Nicole has the only like true soprano up high.
02:57:27.760 --> 02:57:32.559
Uh you've got Mel and VQ kind of holding out the altos.
02:57:32.959 --> 02:57:40.479
I think Diluck and Josh and me kind of covered the rest of the tenor and bass stuff in there.
02:57:40.639 --> 02:57:47.600
Although Adrian's had the more like characteristic in there, so his comes out more covering the low.
02:57:47.680 --> 02:57:58.000
I think you get a lot of dialuk, and there's a little and then like Josh and I are sort of background in that helping filling out the space just to get more choral.
02:57:58.479 --> 02:58:00.159
And worth it.
02:58:00.319 --> 02:58:13.520
Like I uh we need more vocal tracks in the VGM community, and if you are a VGM, if you're a vocal VGM hater, every time you dislike one, I'm gonna make three more.
02:58:17.040 --> 02:58:21.520
Your cringe is what fuels me, and I live for it.
02:58:22.239 --> 02:58:28.079
Uh I will say I I really loved the way that this track ended.
02:58:28.239 --> 02:58:33.920
Like, I just thought the ending like it was just like perfectly epic.
02:58:34.159 --> 02:58:37.200
Uh the trailer was exactly what I wanted.
02:58:37.600 --> 02:58:48.399
The trailer doing the transition from the big held out you know, riding home into Morgan's track is Chef Kiss.
02:58:48.879 --> 02:58:49.520
So good.
02:58:49.920 --> 02:58:50.879
Agreed.
02:58:51.120 --> 02:58:51.760
100%.
02:58:52.479 --> 02:58:53.840
What were you gonna say, Diluk?
02:58:54.079 --> 02:58:58.399
Uh could I just boast that I won the uh the long held note competition?
02:58:58.639 --> 02:58:59.120
Yes.
02:58:59.360 --> 02:59:01.280
Uh Congratulations.
02:59:01.520 --> 02:59:11.920
Yeah, in in the stems, Diluk that's uh that entire held note thing is like 16 seconds, I think.
02:59:12.319 --> 02:59:14.799
Uh mine is the first to die off.
02:59:15.040 --> 02:59:18.719
Um not because mostly because I couldn't.
02:59:18.879 --> 02:59:28.159
Uh I left it in there without like doing a crossfade out where the note kind of dies off in a very you know, Roger Waters like Pink Floyd.
02:59:28.399 --> 02:59:32.079
Like it's part of the emotion, is the like I can't give anymore.
02:59:32.399 --> 02:59:35.280
Which is how I justify being bad at at singing.
02:59:36.799 --> 02:59:37.920
I gave that one a good run.
02:59:41.280 --> 02:59:45.280
I I gave that long note a good run, but no, Dialogue had it hands down.
02:59:45.600 --> 02:59:47.280
Dialogue is the champ there.
02:59:47.520 --> 03:00:07.600
Um so VQ provided the vast majority of the vocal harmonies for the verses and the choruses, although her takes were almost like they were so overlapping the same register as me that it like you would not be able to hear her in the mix.
03:00:07.760 --> 03:00:16.079
Um through the magic of melodyne, which um melodyne cannot fix your take, but it can certainly change the pitch of it.
03:00:16.319 --> 03:00:22.239
Uh, you can hear VQ a lot more clearly because I I've boosted her up in octave.
03:00:22.399 --> 03:00:39.360
It's a thing that I don't like to do for a lot of vocals because I don't like to alter them fundamentally, but there would be no way to bring out her voice in this piece without doing so because there's there's a hundred and ten instrument tracks and almost all of them are in the mids.
03:00:39.600 --> 03:00:41.680
Like I had to make sacrifices.
03:00:41.840 --> 03:00:44.319
I altered mine uh worse.
03:00:44.559 --> 03:00:49.360
The uh there's a lot of vocal harmony in there that's like, hmm, I I could not actually sing that.
03:00:49.440 --> 03:00:52.879
That's thank goodness for modern technology.
03:00:53.200 --> 03:01:00.239
And fortunately, the vocal harmony, the protein of a sandwich, is lying in a lovely bed of lush vegetables.
03:01:00.479 --> 03:01:04.719
By which I mean woodwind parts that I played in on an Ewe.
03:01:05.120 --> 03:01:13.520
And I can only think that it's a sign of good things from the judges that none of the feedback involves any criticism about those things.
03:01:13.760 --> 03:01:20.799
Because most of the time my attempts with orchestral stuff involve uh the samples getting exposed and it sounding fake as hell.
03:01:21.040 --> 03:01:36.159
Oh yeah, uh the the one issue that the the judges have, and I agree, um, is the the processing that I did on the vocal stacks um makes them really brittle in the the upper mids.
03:01:36.399 --> 03:01:46.000
I did the the there's the there's a recording technique that they did in the 60s because of the tech and needing to do it, and if you do it now, it does not super help.
03:01:46.159 --> 03:01:52.879
Um it's the Dolby tape or the Dolby A layer tape effect, where I'm not gonna get super nerdy about it.
03:01:53.040 --> 03:02:03.920
You basically just oversaturate the the signal such that uh you reduce a lot of like tape hiss and recover some of signal back.
03:02:04.079 --> 03:02:13.680
Like when you're recording to tape, like you lose a lot of things to tape hiss because of signal, and they found uh you know, a wonderful recording engineer found a way to fix that.
03:02:13.840 --> 03:02:21.520
You don't have to do it now because we don't record to tape typically in our bedrooms, we're recording you know digitally to a disc.
03:02:22.000 --> 03:02:30.719
So uh rightfully so they called out that like the the vocals are kind of brittle and in some places a tiny bit piercing depending on your setup.
03:02:30.879 --> 03:02:35.840
So if I if I was going to do if I was gonna remix this remix, I would fix that.
03:02:35.920 --> 03:02:36.959
But it is what it is.
03:02:37.040 --> 03:02:42.559
I think it's good enough to not only be on the album but to join that catalog entirely.
03:02:42.799 --> 03:02:48.799
Uh a great pivot from the track, uh uh, unless anyone has other things they want to say.
03:02:49.040 --> 03:03:01.520
Well, the other thing I was gonna say was basically uh probably the pivot that I'm thinking of is that um it the album ends with uh a remix of a remix of the prelude and it starts with a remix of a remix of a prelude.
03:03:01.760 --> 03:03:02.559
Exactly.
03:03:02.879 --> 03:03:03.760
Let's pivot.
03:03:04.000 --> 03:03:04.719
Zalef.
03:03:05.120 --> 03:03:10.559
When I first started this mix, it was um the reason I started this mix was actually because I just I really love the game, right?
03:03:10.639 --> 03:03:20.000
So like when when I heard this version of of the prelude in the minor key with the alternate melody, uh when I first started playing the game, um I thought it was amazing.
03:03:20.079 --> 03:03:28.319
Like I was just like just blown away, like how how clever it was that they that they made such a change and it just fit the theme really, really well.
03:03:28.479 --> 03:03:31.280
Like it it fits the the the tone of the game.
03:03:31.440 --> 03:03:34.399
Um I thought thought they did a great job.
03:03:40.319 --> 03:03:40.959
Yeah.
03:03:43.360 --> 03:03:44.000
Yeah.
03:03:47.200 --> 03:03:53.440
No chains, no lies, no shadow past for me to flee.
03:03:54.079 --> 03:03:58.799
I face this truth, and it is time to set free.
03:03:59.120 --> 03:04:01.680
To fight or run is easy, I know.
03:04:02.079 --> 03:04:05.520
Easier than facing the truth of what I must let go.
03:04:05.840 --> 03:04:08.559
Here I stand, a burden mind to bear.
03:04:08.639 --> 03:04:10.000
I must declare.
03:04:10.239 --> 03:04:15.760
I've wandered long through the mist of blood and flame with a sword in my hand, forced to fight for my name.
03:04:16.399 --> 03:04:28.159
Um, so like I I really wanted to to do like a mix on this, and I was like, okay, well, I wanted to do something where it was um I I I wanted some kind of some kind of wrapping with it.
03:04:28.239 --> 03:04:36.879
Like I I I thought you know it could either be trap, it could be like um with some of the older, like you know, like the 90s rap where where it's like a little faster.
03:04:37.200 --> 03:04:40.959
Um and so initially I started with that where it's like kind of like cake.
03:04:41.200 --> 03:04:47.280
Um and when I pulled on, like so I was asking several rappers if they'd be interested.
03:04:47.840 --> 03:04:54.000
Um and I was really surprised that Mega Ran actually responded and he was he was interested.
03:04:54.479 --> 03:04:58.159
Um you know, so like I thought he'd be the the perfect fit.
03:04:58.239 --> 03:05:02.319
I wasn't sure of like what a schedule looked like or if he'd be even interested.
03:05:02.479 --> 03:05:06.079
Um and I was just really excited that that he said yes.
03:05:06.319 --> 03:05:23.440
So I showed him the original idea, and I said, Well, I you know, I'm also thinking about doing something like like a Psytrance trap as well, but I'm not sure, you know, like here's like a general idea of of where that would go, and I gave him like a really short clip on that, and he was like, actually, that second one sounds really good, and so that's what we went with.
03:05:23.600 --> 03:05:33.200
So we um so I actually have a a mix of this, and it's it's like so I basically put that away and re-redid the whole thing, right?
03:05:33.520 --> 03:05:39.600
Um, and in doing so, like we wanted us to have like some some orchestral uh sounds in this.
03:05:39.840 --> 03:05:43.120
Um, and I was able to pull in uh point blanket.
03:05:43.360 --> 03:05:48.319
Um uh his name is Alex, and uh he he he did a great job with the violins.
03:05:48.399 --> 03:05:54.719
Um, and uh I was able to uh to convince my daughter to to help me out with with with this mix as well.
03:05:54.799 --> 03:06:00.159
So I was I was I was really excited that that that she was able to um uh to sing for this.
03:06:00.399 --> 03:06:02.959
Um but yeah, so it was it was it was a lot of fun.
03:06:03.040 --> 03:06:14.479
Um I'd say um the rec the recordings, like normally I have to do a lot of like sound editing and like you know, I I don't have melodin, but I have something very, very similar.
03:06:14.799 --> 03:06:22.000
Um I normally have to do stuff with that, um, but with the artist that recorded, I had very little work I needed to do.
03:06:22.559 --> 03:06:33.600
Um so I spent a lot more of the time in the overall like the arrangement of the song, um, and then of course then like the the the mix and master at the end, um kind of playing around with that.
03:06:34.079 --> 03:06:40.719
Um but yeah, I mean like the it was I I was just really excited how well everything just kind of put um kind of came together.
03:06:40.959 --> 03:06:49.760
Uh one one of the things I really tried to do was also put in um like like a chiptune kind of throwback to the original prelude.
03:06:49.840 --> 03:06:55.680
Um, you know, and I was trying to figure out how to do that if I wanted to do it throughout the whole song or if I wanted to make it just clever in the middle.
03:06:55.920 --> 03:07:08.559
Um and so I put it there, and I think the last thing, um, I initially had a version of the song as well, like of this of the Psytrance trap song, and it was much harder and much heavier.
03:07:08.799 --> 03:07:14.879
Um, and if you listen to a lot of my music, usually I I like things that are like you know pretty heavy.
03:07:15.040 --> 03:07:17.360
Um or or at least very fast.
03:07:17.840 --> 03:07:23.600
And what I did instead is in like the very end, instead of having it build up and be really heavy, I basically pulled everything out.
03:07:23.680 --> 03:07:27.200
So it's just the violin, and it sounds so good.
03:07:27.360 --> 03:07:29.600
I was just like, yeah, this is exactly what it needs to do.
03:07:29.840 --> 03:07:37.360
So the the original plan was to have a build up, and I I felt like that was the ending, was was was basically pulling everything out.
03:07:38.079 --> 03:07:41.520
Um anyways, yep, I I think that's that that's a good overview.
03:07:41.600 --> 03:07:44.879
I I really enjoyed making this this this mix, it was it was a lot of fun.
03:07:45.520 --> 03:07:46.719
And it's a great mix.
03:07:46.799 --> 03:07:48.639
Uh I absolutely adored it.
03:07:48.719 --> 03:07:57.520
And it's like uh again, I don't I my musical vocabulary is crap, but like there's just something special about the Final Fantasy prelude.
03:07:57.680 --> 03:08:07.920
It's timeless, and whenever someone works it into a mix in any way, shape, or form, I it I'm just grinning the whole time.
03:08:08.159 --> 03:08:18.879
Um The other thing I wanted to say is um of all of the people involved in this album, I think Mega Ran is the only one I've met in person.
03:08:19.040 --> 03:08:24.559
Um, but that was in the concept uh like in the context of buying a t-shirt at a concert.
03:08:24.799 --> 03:08:32.719
So um I he seemed like a cool dude, and it it sounds like working with him was a breeze.
03:08:33.120 --> 03:08:42.079
Yeah, it was um I actually asked him while he was in the middle of touring, so he stopped by a recording studio um to to send out some things and then went back to touring again.
03:08:42.159 --> 03:08:43.360
Like it was it's crazy like that.
03:08:43.440 --> 03:08:44.159
He actually did that for us.
03:08:44.239 --> 03:08:45.360
So man, what a challenge.
03:08:45.840 --> 03:08:46.559
Really appreciative.
03:08:46.719 --> 03:08:48.000
I know, I'm so appreciative.
03:08:48.239 --> 03:08:49.280
I'm blanking on this.
03:08:49.360 --> 03:08:52.319
He's been on some remixes before, I'm sure.
03:08:52.559 --> 03:09:02.719
Uh he was on uh one from the last time he was on Overclock Remix was from uh the uh Super Dodgeball album Around the World.
03:09:02.959 --> 03:09:04.479
And um, yep, yep.
03:09:04.799 --> 03:09:10.079
So it's been some years, and I actually um make a joke about that on in the web notes.
03:09:10.239 --> 03:09:14.319
But it's it's um um but it was just just to have him back.
03:09:14.399 --> 03:09:20.399
And I mean in that one he's all sort of um you know this this is a this is a joke track, this is this is funny.
03:09:20.639 --> 03:09:43.840
Here he's shows a sort of a more serious introspective side, and um just paired with um Audiomin's singing and especially Point Lincoln's violin, there's there's a moment I think it's at the start of the second verse where the handover is just so brilliant, and it's just like oh it's um it gets me every time.
03:09:44.239 --> 03:09:55.760
I do love that uh Zalith and I picked Masayoshi Sokin tracks that have Uimatsu either in them or the DNA of Ui Matsu in them.
03:09:56.399 --> 03:09:58.479
That's a that's a really great call out.
03:09:58.959 --> 03:10:01.520
It that's it it's very time shift.
03:10:01.920 --> 03:10:05.520
Like uh to take the prelude and then new spinning.
03:10:05.920 --> 03:10:12.000
The OG Final Fantasy composer and I mean the most recent Final Fantasy composer.
03:10:12.399 --> 03:10:12.719
Right.
03:10:13.280 --> 03:10:16.879
Um which I I gotta get something on my chest.
03:10:16.959 --> 03:10:19.600
I do love Masayoshi Sokin.
03:10:19.680 --> 03:10:22.559
Uh I think his soundtracks are fantastic.
03:10:22.799 --> 03:10:31.680
I was a bit sad that they didn't get Yoko Shimamura to do 16 also, because 15 was I I just adore Yokoshimamura.
03:10:32.319 --> 03:10:37.920
I think Shimamura and Sokin on the same OST would be goaded.
03:10:38.479 --> 03:10:40.000
That would be amazing.
03:10:40.319 --> 03:10:41.200
I guess we'll see.
03:10:42.159 --> 03:10:46.399
We'll see for uh Final Fantasy 17 if maybe that happens.
03:10:46.639 --> 03:10:51.680
Uh the the the other one I'm pulling for for 17 is um I'm blanking on his name.
03:10:51.840 --> 03:10:53.600
The lead composer for Nier.
03:10:54.079 --> 03:10:56.559
Oh, oh, Yokotaro.
03:10:56.799 --> 03:10:59.840
Oh my god, that would be amazing.
03:11:00.479 --> 03:11:03.440
Um Square has a lot of musical talent.
03:11:03.680 --> 03:11:05.600
Um they they got stuff.
03:11:05.760 --> 03:11:07.840
They got the people, they got the tech.
03:11:08.399 --> 03:11:10.399
Uh, I guess it's my turn, huh?
03:11:10.639 --> 03:11:30.000
Um, so I alluded to this earlier, but uh, you know, given the whole album, uh, and its concept and what it's about, and you know, it's it's the 25th anniversary of Overclocked Remix, and you know, now uh well, I say that, now it's the 26th birthday.
03:11:30.159 --> 03:11:32.399
OC Remix can rent a car now.
03:11:32.559 --> 03:11:41.120
Um and uh so my criterion for selecting a track was what hit me in the nostalgia the hardest.
03:11:41.520 --> 03:12:04.319
And I've never played Outer Wilds, uh, and I'm not familiar with the soundtrack at all, but uh Ridley Snipes' uh known unknowns jumped out at me immediately uh as just an absolutely nostalgic track.
03:12:55.600 --> 03:13:14.879
Um and I was trying to figure out what does this remind me of, and it reminds me of a specific OC remix from 2006 by Dragon Avenger and E Fields called Summoner's Love from Final Fantasy X.
03:13:15.520 --> 03:13:17.360
Uh, which classic.
03:13:17.600 --> 03:13:40.319
Uh an absolute classic, and also like that track and the vocals and also that time in my life, because like 2006 is around when like I was breaking up with my first real girlfriend, uh, and like so none unknown uh known unknowns just hit me in the nostalgia so hard.
03:13:41.040 --> 03:13:50.879
Um but again, I don't have any musical vocabulary, so while I have all these talented people here, please also talk about none uh known unknowns for me.
03:13:51.280 --> 03:13:52.719
It made me go play the game.
03:13:53.120 --> 03:13:54.479
And I'm so glad I did.
03:13:54.799 --> 03:14:01.840
Uh okay, well, I don't know if we'll keep this part in the podcast itself, but tell me a little about the game, because I I know basically nothing.
03:14:02.399 --> 03:14:15.440
Uh to Okay, it's it's one of those games that's um I think it's best described as going to uh going on a hike to the top of Mount Fuji to see the sunrise.
03:14:15.600 --> 03:14:20.799
You would only ever do it once, but it's so worth uh the effort of going to do it.
03:14:20.959 --> 03:14:22.639
That's what Outer Wilds is like.
03:14:22.799 --> 03:14:26.000
It's um incredible piece of art.
03:14:26.159 --> 03:14:29.600
It's uh I go as far as to say it is gaming literature.
03:14:29.840 --> 03:14:38.959
Um and just you can't really describe uh the gameplay of the game without giving entirely the game away.
03:14:39.280 --> 03:14:39.760
Oh yeah.
03:14:40.639 --> 03:14:42.079
Count me in, I'm sold now.
03:14:42.159 --> 03:14:50.399
That's a what it'd be safe to say it's like you only got one life, even though you repeat things uh like in in in your own real life.
03:14:50.479 --> 03:14:53.680
Like that's it's kind of like an uh allegory for that.
03:14:54.319 --> 03:14:59.840
I mean, I think Outer Wilds is also that sort of game that it means something to different people.
03:15:00.159 --> 03:15:12.719
Um and I think what Ridley did with it um was basically it was just like here, I I've got a little bit of a of a snippet of of the tune from Outer Wilds, and I was like, oh, that's really good.
03:15:12.879 --> 03:15:15.600
Uh I don't really know this game, I don't know this theme.
03:15:15.760 --> 03:15:24.399
And so I looked into it, looked into the original theme, and oh my gosh, the the original is just full of full of feels and uh quickly messages.
03:15:27.120 --> 03:15:31.200
Even did a uh a Minecraft remix album in that style recently.
03:15:31.440 --> 03:15:33.040
Oh, I've got to listen to that then.
03:15:33.200 --> 03:15:34.319
That's great, yeah.
03:15:34.559 --> 03:15:48.079
Yeah, the the Outer Wilds theme quickly made its way into my list of favorite um video game tunes, um, just because of how heartfelt and how um I mean, in a way, it it's nostalgic as well.
03:15:48.319 --> 03:15:51.600
It's got a very uh nostalgia-inducing chord progression.
03:15:51.680 --> 03:15:56.239
It's it's just um um ascending through 4565.
03:15:56.719 --> 03:16:00.799
Um but it's um but just what gets down on top of that.
03:16:00.879 --> 03:16:11.120
And um Ridley just basically took the the essence of that, gave it a bit of uh an uplifting EDM.
03:16:11.520 --> 03:16:17.440
Um I don't want to say synth, but it's sort of a a pop um pop EDM feel to it.
03:16:17.680 --> 03:16:25.280
Um, but it's got these whisp moments of whistling in it, and uh they send shivers down my spine every time when I hear it.
03:16:25.440 --> 03:16:29.520
So um yeah, it's it it's a fantastic one.
03:16:29.600 --> 03:16:34.399
It was the one that I was going to do until Zach uh took no nine.
03:16:34.719 --> 03:16:35.120
Me too.
03:16:35.200 --> 03:16:43.440
I was yeah, just because uh the outerwild soundtrack is it's pretty uh one of the perks of being the podcast host is Dibbs.
03:16:43.760 --> 03:16:45.280
You know, that's valid.
03:16:45.520 --> 03:16:55.600
Um I gotta say, any any track with uh with electronic or synth percussion that uses snaps instead of claps, I'm immediately on board.
03:16:55.840 --> 03:16:57.040
I love claps.
03:16:57.200 --> 03:17:01.840
There's something just so very tasty about snap samples though.
03:17:02.079 --> 03:17:05.280
Um yeah, I'm apparently that's my weakness.
03:17:05.440 --> 03:17:06.719
Put snaps in your track.
03:17:07.040 --> 03:17:12.879
Alright, you heard it here first if you want to get at least one yes out of the judges panel.
03:17:13.120 --> 03:17:21.680
Okay, but I worked with um Ridley Snipes on on a few different songs, and it was really cool to kind of see his workflow, and I'm sure he did the same thing here.
03:17:21.840 --> 03:17:27.200
Um so like he he really uses reference tracks like pretty religiously.
03:17:27.360 --> 03:17:34.399
Uh, and he'll and he does a lot of wave editing directly um in in his IDE to basically make it work.
03:17:34.479 --> 03:17:39.200
So every every one of his tracks, it's it it ends up being some kind of wave that he's basically sculpting.
03:17:39.440 --> 03:17:48.000
Um and it's I've seen this process a few different places, uh, and it's amazing um to to to kind of see it come through and it it sounds amazing.
03:17:49.520 --> 03:17:52.399
I like just to add as a I mean Oh go ahead.
03:17:52.479 --> 03:17:58.639
Go ahead before we move on to uh the uh the devil who who came by as we talked about.
03:17:59.360 --> 03:18:10.719
Um I not in any like music theory or anything like that, but the f this song is just fun and kind of uplifting and it kind of just makes you feel good.
03:18:11.920 --> 03:18:14.959
Which I which one of the reasons I wanted to pick this remix too.
03:18:16.479 --> 03:18:19.920
You know, it can get you out of a bad mood if you really want if you listen to it.
03:18:20.000 --> 03:18:21.440
It's one of those type of tracks.
03:18:21.760 --> 03:18:26.799
I put it after um the Stellaris one for that purpose because it's uplifting.
03:18:27.040 --> 03:18:33.360
Whereas the Stellaris uh one that Movius did um is basically the lights are going out.
03:18:33.760 --> 03:18:37.600
So um I needed something just to come back from that.
03:18:37.760 --> 03:18:41.600
So it's the perfect um the perfect um reply.
03:18:42.000 --> 03:18:43.200
Tell it cleaner, right?
03:18:43.360 --> 03:18:43.760
Yeah, yeah.
03:18:44.239 --> 03:18:56.479
I guess in a sense, being an album director is sort of like being able to ask a bunch of cool people to make music and then like turning it into the best mixtape you can make out of that.
03:18:56.879 --> 03:18:59.120
One of the best things you can do when you do an album.
03:18:59.280 --> 03:19:01.440
Yeah, that that's that's always a good feeling.
03:19:01.680 --> 03:19:13.040
Yeah, one of one of the fun things that I had about this, um, I mean, I've I've still got the um uh the Google Document spreadsheet somewhere where I basically just put air all the tracks out, okay, here are their lengths.
03:19:13.120 --> 03:19:14.959
How am I going to organize this?
03:19:15.040 --> 03:19:20.079
And I was just um just building it is basically like building a mixtape.
03:19:20.159 --> 03:19:24.799
It's like, okay, I want to put this track here, what do I put around this track?
03:19:24.959 --> 03:19:26.639
Or okay, this is the mood of this.
03:19:26.879 --> 03:19:33.280
I want a crest here, I want I want a fall here, I want a um uh a shift in mood.
03:19:33.440 --> 03:19:38.399
Um like I said, the whole of Indigo was built around 100% Roma's track.
03:19:38.559 --> 03:19:43.920
Um it just builds up to that before uh Morgan um is the palacleanser.
03:19:44.159 --> 03:19:53.200
And um that was one of one of the most fun things I did, and then it was basically at the end of it, it was saying, like, okay folks, here's the order, tell me what you think.
03:19:53.360 --> 03:19:56.079
And um I don't think I got any complaints.
03:19:56.319 --> 03:20:16.079
Now, given the concept of the album, I feel like I need to say um mostly for JSA Blixer, um, a tape is like a sort of little cartridge that has music on it, and a mixtape is when you put whatever music you want on a tape in whatever order you want.
03:20:16.399 --> 03:20:21.200
Well, we could get a little bit more-it's a magnetic strip in a plastic casing.
03:20:21.360 --> 03:20:30.719
That uh so I think this is a good time to segue in into a wild Larry appeared.
03:20:33.120 --> 03:20:36.000
Okay, your face lit up, but I didn't hear anything.
03:20:36.799 --> 03:20:38.159
Just gave some grunts.
03:20:43.840 --> 03:20:48.319
Uh Lion Tamer, would you like to introduce yourself to the nice people?
03:20:49.280 --> 03:20:50.319
Oh hey.
03:20:50.719 --> 03:20:51.760
Good evening.
03:20:52.399 --> 03:20:59.920
This is Larry OG, aka Lion Tamer, one of the evil judges at Overclock Remix.
03:21:00.079 --> 03:21:02.000
I've been a judge for a long time.
03:21:02.239 --> 03:21:06.479
Somewhere around 359 years.
03:21:07.040 --> 03:21:08.319
Sounds accurate to me.
03:21:08.879 --> 03:21:10.719
Yeah, something around there.
03:21:10.799 --> 03:21:21.760
I'm also the community manager of OC Remix, which means handling all the social media business, all the social media stuffs and interactions with the with the beeps.
03:21:22.239 --> 03:21:24.959
And uh I like video game music.
03:21:25.280 --> 03:21:30.799
Now, as I recall, you are also the person who encouraged me to start this podcast.
03:21:31.120 --> 03:21:34.959
I I mean, uh you really you're blaming me?
03:21:35.280 --> 03:21:36.719
I am blaming you, yes.
03:21:36.959 --> 03:21:50.000
You know, about a year ago we did like uh birthday uh shindig on Discord, and I hopped on and I mentioned that like hey, I missed the old OCR pod.
03:21:50.319 --> 03:21:53.760
Uh someone should do something do another one.
03:21:53.920 --> 03:21:55.520
And you were like, Where are this starting?
03:21:56.079 --> 03:21:58.879
I said I said, get off my damn back, is what I said.
03:21:59.120 --> 03:22:01.280
I think something like that.
03:22:01.440 --> 03:22:03.600
And then yeah, you took it and ran.
03:22:03.680 --> 03:22:07.200
You were like, oh yeah, well, I'll show you, you stupid summer.
03:22:07.840 --> 03:22:11.920
And I went, oh, oh yeah, I'd like to see you try, partner.
03:22:12.559 --> 03:22:14.319
And uh I did for the album.
03:22:14.479 --> 03:22:23.120
Uh basically I was like, hey, uh, yeah, we let let's make an album for the 25th anniversary, and then two days later it's like, oh, I should direct this, shouldn't I?
03:22:23.920 --> 03:22:25.200
That's how it happens.
03:22:25.360 --> 03:22:27.040
That's that's always how it happens.
03:22:27.280 --> 03:22:30.159
We told you, Larry OG never breaks kayfabe.
03:22:30.479 --> 03:22:31.920
I excuse me.
03:22:32.079 --> 03:22:42.000
I mean, well, I mean, I I feel like I I just showed up and was was was was was attacked verbally attacked, but anyway, that's okay.
03:22:42.159 --> 03:22:47.840
And I was blamed for this show, which is you know, that's uh that that takes the cake right there.
03:22:47.920 --> 03:22:51.120
Like, oh, don't blame me for your your your show, dude.
03:22:52.319 --> 03:22:55.200
I mean it's the term voluntold, yeah.
03:22:55.360 --> 03:22:59.440
See, yeah, I was I was voluntold to do the show by Larry.
03:22:59.680 --> 03:23:08.159
Um I had already taken the step of buying a semi-nice microphone because I had this in the back of my head.
03:23:08.479 --> 03:23:08.799
See?
03:23:09.360 --> 03:23:12.239
So I was like, alright, I've got the microphone already.
03:23:12.319 --> 03:23:13.680
I'll I will do this.
03:23:13.920 --> 03:23:21.040
I believe it was Gandhi from Sid Meyer's Civilization who said, be the change you wish to see in the world shortly before nuking your country.
03:23:23.120 --> 03:23:24.959
Dude, I will sick chuck.
03:23:25.280 --> 03:23:38.479
I once, I once, no lie, my senior year in college, I had uh a roommate, a friend of mine, one of my roommates, he skipped a final to play Civilization 3.
03:23:40.799 --> 03:23:42.319
He still graduated.
03:23:42.479 --> 03:23:47.360
I don't know, I don't know how, but I mean that that that's how good the game is.
03:23:47.440 --> 03:23:51.920
And that's why I never played it uh beyond Civilization 1.
03:23:52.159 --> 03:23:55.360
Because it's one of it's also why I stopped playing Pokemon Go.
03:23:55.520 --> 03:24:02.000
It wasn't it wasn't like, oh, I got tired of these games, uh, they're just kind of lame, whatever, I'm done, I'm tired.
03:24:02.159 --> 03:24:03.840
No, it was like, oh, you know what?
03:24:04.000 --> 03:24:05.200
These games are too good.
03:24:05.440 --> 03:24:08.000
I'm realizing that they're too, too, too, too good.
03:24:08.159 --> 03:24:11.920
I'm gonna I'm going to leave it there and quit cold turkey.
03:24:13.120 --> 03:24:14.719
Your friend is so based.
03:24:14.959 --> 03:24:22.239
Oh, I was gonna say, I think I've talked about this on the pod before, but like when I was growing up, my mom was really strict about computer use.
03:24:22.399 --> 03:24:29.280
She was like, you've got game consoles for games, the computer is for education only, no games on the computer.
03:24:30.000 --> 03:24:36.479
So consequently, um, Civilization 4 was the first one I played.
03:24:36.719 --> 03:24:39.120
Uh, because that's the one that came out when I was in college.
03:24:39.360 --> 03:24:41.360
Oh, nice, nice, nice, nice.
03:24:41.600 --> 03:24:43.920
What was everybody's first PC game?
03:24:44.239 --> 03:24:46.719
Lemonade Stand on the Apple IIe.
03:24:47.360 --> 03:24:47.840
Digger.
03:24:48.399 --> 03:24:54.319
Uh I definitely played Doom at a friend's house, and I'm trying to remember if I played Wolfenstein before that.
03:24:54.719 --> 03:24:56.639
Played at school or played at home?
03:24:58.479 --> 03:25:01.680
My mind is uh in that case, it's are they gonna be Digger?
03:25:02.159 --> 03:25:04.879
Uh would that be on the ZX Spectrum?
03:25:05.200 --> 03:25:06.639
IBM version.
03:25:06.879 --> 03:25:07.200
Oh.
03:25:07.600 --> 03:25:08.719
Oh sweet.
03:25:08.959 --> 03:25:20.479
Uh if it's at school, it's that weird bug game where you run around trying not to get squished by a dinosaur on the the old Mac G2s.
03:25:20.799 --> 03:25:22.719
Is that what they printed on the box?
03:25:23.040 --> 03:25:24.479
It's I don't remember the name of that.
03:25:24.879 --> 03:25:26.479
That weird game where you don't get squished.
03:25:26.799 --> 03:25:38.639
Basically it's like we had that Mario teaches typing, uh uh Math Blaster and Oregon Trail, and then at home we had the DOS version of Jeopardy.
03:25:38.799 --> 03:25:48.239
And Josh and I were the only ones who could play it because we were the only ones with the patience to type in the uh the terminal to like load it.
03:25:48.319 --> 03:25:58.559
Like my my older brother, Josh and I's older brother and our dad both like gave up out of frustration because they kept inputting the terminal line incorrect.
03:25:58.799 --> 03:25:59.440
Bugdum.
03:25:59.680 --> 03:26:01.120
Bugdum is the name of the game.
03:26:01.200 --> 03:26:01.920
Thank you, Josh.
03:26:02.159 --> 03:26:02.719
Bugdum.
03:26:03.280 --> 03:26:04.000
Oh gosh.
03:26:04.239 --> 03:26:07.120
I haven't thought about Bugdum in a million years.
03:26:07.280 --> 03:26:08.159
Yeah, bugd'em.
03:26:08.399 --> 03:26:09.520
Damn near killed them.
03:26:10.799 --> 03:26:17.520
Yeah, I I don't know if this counts, but my first uh computer game was Mavis Beacon teaches typing.
03:26:19.040 --> 03:26:20.079
Oh yeah.
03:26:20.399 --> 03:26:23.840
Wait, is Mavis Beacon a real person or is she like Betty Crocker?
03:26:24.079 --> 03:26:25.680
She's like Betty Crocker.
03:26:25.840 --> 03:26:37.520
Um, I believe that the face of uh Mavis Beacon, or at least the first one, was a model in like the late 80s, early 90s.
03:26:37.920 --> 03:26:39.280
Did it teach you typing?
03:26:39.440 --> 03:26:40.559
Was it successful?
03:26:40.799 --> 03:26:42.000
Oh yeah, it was.
03:26:42.239 --> 03:26:47.280
So uh my dad was going for a computer science degree.
03:26:47.440 --> 03:26:52.559
Uh he had the math knowledge, but he was a chicken pecker typer.
03:26:52.799 --> 03:27:00.079
He was very slow, and you know, I think one of the professors just told him, hey, I don't think this is right for you.
03:27:00.479 --> 03:27:12.159
So after that day, he bought a copy of Mabispeac and Teaches Typing, and he forced my brothers and I to do it because we had to get our touch typing up.
03:27:12.479 --> 03:27:13.280
Oh man.
03:27:13.920 --> 03:27:15.520
Still chicken type.
03:27:16.559 --> 03:27:17.760
I'm a chicken plucker.
03:27:18.559 --> 03:27:19.840
I guess I'll I'll go.
03:27:20.000 --> 03:27:28.719
I if we're talking in school, it's either Oregon Trail or it was some game that taught me how to we're supposed to teach you how to use levers and pulleys.
03:27:28.879 --> 03:27:30.719
I don't know if anybody else has played that.
03:27:31.200 --> 03:27:34.399
Uh yeah, that's what yeah.
03:27:34.879 --> 03:27:35.440
Maybe.
03:27:35.600 --> 03:27:37.280
Uh I don't even remember what it was called.
03:27:37.360 --> 03:27:42.799
It was just like a really basic game that had like a really deep kind of gameplay feel.
03:27:42.959 --> 03:27:45.920
Um then at home, I think.
03:27:47.600 --> 03:27:53.200
At home, I so does anybody rem did anybody read Wizard uh magazine when they were kids?
03:27:53.520 --> 03:27:54.159
Absolutely.
03:27:54.319 --> 03:28:03.120
That was my favorite present when I was uh when I was 11, Santa gave me a copy of Wizard number 41 with Cyclops on the cover back in 1993.
03:28:03.200 --> 03:28:04.239
Thank you, Santa.
03:28:04.479 --> 03:28:08.559
Well, they had a contest where they gave away Duke Nukem 3D.
03:28:08.879 --> 03:28:12.959
And I'm super underage at that point for that day.
03:28:13.440 --> 03:28:15.440
But I entered the contest anyway, and I won.
03:28:15.520 --> 03:28:22.000
I won like a uh Duke Nukem action figure, I won a t-shirt, and I won the PC game.
03:28:22.239 --> 03:28:23.680
Oh what did they say?
03:28:24.159 --> 03:28:28.000
And I put that thing on and I played it, and I was like, I don't, I this is great.
03:28:28.079 --> 03:28:32.239
You know, I didn't think anything of it, but really irresponsible to them, but I am so glad.
03:28:32.319 --> 03:28:33.600
Uh amazing.
03:28:35.600 --> 03:28:36.799
You heard it here, folks.
03:28:37.200 --> 03:28:39.520
DLP has balls of steel.
03:28:39.920 --> 03:28:41.680
I've got balls of steel.
03:28:41.920 --> 03:28:43.920
Balls, balls, balls, balls of steel.
03:28:44.159 --> 03:28:44.639
Where is it?
03:28:48.159 --> 03:28:49.840
Oh, that's a lot of words.
03:28:50.000 --> 03:28:51.760
Too bad I'm not reading them.
03:28:52.479 --> 03:28:52.959
Ruby.
03:28:55.920 --> 03:29:00.959
Played the original um 2D platformer Juke Nukin.
03:29:02.639 --> 03:29:03.360
Not at all.
03:29:03.680 --> 03:29:07.200
Oh, I had it as a demo on the second PC we had.
03:29:08.239 --> 03:29:09.200
Uh, Larry.
03:29:09.360 --> 03:29:11.520
Coming in coming into this, you had homework.
03:29:11.600 --> 03:29:16.319
Uh, and that homework was pick a track from Time Shift you want to talk about, so.
03:29:16.799 --> 03:29:17.120
Oh.
03:29:17.360 --> 03:29:18.559
What do you mean huh?
03:29:18.799 --> 03:29:21.840
I have to talk about video game music?
03:29:22.000 --> 03:29:24.000
Like, dude, what do you take me for?
03:29:24.319 --> 03:29:25.440
I just don't get it.
03:29:26.159 --> 03:29:27.200
Do it for McRib?
03:29:27.600 --> 03:29:28.239
Oh, well?
03:29:28.639 --> 03:29:31.760
Oh, I feel like this turned into a Claude Dankbar commercial.
03:29:31.920 --> 03:29:33.920
Well, we're not for Claude Dankbar.
03:29:34.079 --> 03:29:36.159
Well, oh two Mick Ribs.
03:29:36.559 --> 03:29:36.879
Oh.
03:29:37.280 --> 03:29:44.000
Uh oh well, you know, I have had I have had three McRibs this season, so uh we're doing pretty good.
03:29:44.079 --> 03:29:44.879
I'm pretty happy.
03:29:45.200 --> 03:29:46.479
Mick rib season.
03:29:46.719 --> 03:29:48.559
Look, Larry, we know what you are.
03:29:48.719 --> 03:29:50.639
We're just describing, you know, price.
03:29:50.799 --> 03:29:52.079
We're negotiating price.
03:29:52.239 --> 03:29:52.719
Mm-hmm.
03:29:52.879 --> 03:29:53.840
I understand.
03:29:54.159 --> 03:29:54.799
Wow.
03:29:55.040 --> 03:29:57.840
That's such a mean thing to say, you little comedian.
03:29:57.920 --> 03:30:01.680
You so I'm supposed to talk about a track from Time Ship.
03:30:01.840 --> 03:30:02.239
Alright.
03:30:02.319 --> 03:30:18.079
Well, I'm gonna talk about something that nobody else has talked about because you guys are all terrible people and then are refusing to recognize the greatness of uh of this track, which was Eurito, which I'm sure Zach has probably called Jorido, like Tony More.
03:30:18.479 --> 03:30:23.040
I definitely have or like Dorito, like a Dorito eating chip.
03:30:23.280 --> 03:30:31.520
So we had Eurito featuring Siren Star, some goofist, and then prophetic music.
03:30:31.760 --> 03:30:34.959
And so uh there were uh oh pixel step.
03:30:35.040 --> 03:30:42.799
Yes, pixel's the queen of the step.
03:30:43.440 --> 03:30:55.680
She's here to the staff and so fright.
03:31:06.479 --> 03:31:08.879
She is the queen of the night.
03:31:10.479 --> 03:31:11.520
Yes, yes, yes.
03:31:11.680 --> 03:31:13.600
So uh yeah, butted.
03:31:14.159 --> 03:31:26.319
So I just listen, I am a child of the 80s, so I wasn't around during the the disco era, but of course I have a healthy appreciation for uh the groove, as it were.
03:31:26.479 --> 03:31:32.799
So Queen of the Groove is a Final Fantasy VII rebirth arrangement marshaled by Eurito.
03:31:33.120 --> 03:31:41.520
And listen, I've said this in write-ups about some of the stuff that she has been involved with, but Siren Star is an amazing vocalist.
03:31:41.600 --> 03:31:47.040
I'm sure everybody here on our little recording can agree that she's awesome.
03:31:47.280 --> 03:31:58.719
So I love hearing her tap into her inner disco diva, and then of course, Pixel Seth and Prophetic Music bring the groove, as it were.
03:31:58.879 --> 03:32:07.040
Uh Seth, do you mind commenting on, you know, sort of uh how you channel the groove, like how how how you become one with the groove?
03:32:07.440 --> 03:32:10.000
But yeah, uh where'd you get your groove bias?
03:32:10.239 --> 03:32:13.360
First, you uh like all things, you must create the universe.
03:32:13.520 --> 03:32:18.959
No, uh, Eurita reached out and was like, hey, I'm I need some guitars for this disco track.
03:32:19.120 --> 03:32:24.159
Uh and I'm not typically a disco guitar player, but I'll do anything for a McRib.
03:32:24.399 --> 03:32:26.079
I mean, I'll do anything once.
03:32:26.399 --> 03:32:31.280
And uh and I just finished building a clean guitar patch for it.
03:32:31.360 --> 03:32:33.120
I was like, sure, yeah, let me let me give it a shot.
03:32:33.280 --> 03:32:33.920
He's like, cool.
03:32:34.000 --> 03:32:37.360
Uh I don't need any lead guitar stuff, it's just rhythm work.
03:32:37.440 --> 03:32:42.959
And I was like, cool, and I cut him a lead guitar track that he did not put in the final mix anyway.
03:32:44.719 --> 03:32:45.680
And that's fine.
03:32:45.760 --> 03:32:50.079
Uh I I actually appreciate that he didn't because Siren Star's vocal is killer.
03:32:50.319 --> 03:32:54.959
Prof did some amazing sax work on it, and I'm super saxy.
03:32:55.360 --> 03:32:57.520
It's very, it's very tasty.
03:32:57.760 --> 03:33:09.280
I I really like listening to that track in the work in progress and like hearing it come about, like I I think Eurito came fairly late to the album coming together.
03:33:09.440 --> 03:33:14.399
Like uh he was in what the last two passes in the workshop?
03:33:14.879 --> 03:33:23.280
Things happened, and then uh he um came back later and it's like, oh yeah, and he by the way, here's this uh disco thing.
03:33:23.440 --> 03:33:24.639
Like, okay.
03:33:25.120 --> 03:33:25.680
Wow.
03:33:25.920 --> 03:33:32.319
So, but yeah, yeah, I got to see this um grow as well, and it was fantastic uh watching it blossom.
03:33:32.639 --> 03:33:36.639
Uh to answer your question, Larry, to get the groove, you just play syncopated.
03:33:37.200 --> 03:33:41.600
Uh that I don't know a way to say that without using musician terms.
03:33:41.680 --> 03:33:43.520
So that's that's the beginning and the end of that.
03:33:43.840 --> 03:33:45.040
Just play a hard beat.
03:33:46.000 --> 03:33:56.719
I have uh two things to say about this track, and um one of them is a statement, and the other is a question.
03:33:57.040 --> 03:34:02.000
Uh, and I'm going to start with a question because I've lost my train of thought and I've forgotten the statement.
03:34:02.239 --> 03:34:03.840
Uh, it's late.
03:34:04.479 --> 03:34:16.319
Uh and the question is: I am a bad person, and I haven't played uh Final Fantasy VII Rebirth yet, and I need to know in what context is the Source Tune played.
03:34:16.639 --> 03:34:17.600
You're gonna love this.
03:34:17.760 --> 03:34:20.559
Uh so Queen's Blood is a card game.
03:34:20.799 --> 03:34:23.680
It's a m it's the card mini game from Rebirth.
03:34:24.319 --> 03:34:25.920
Oh, I okay.
03:34:26.159 --> 03:34:32.479
I've heard that it has a very good card mini-game, like easily the best since Triple Triad.
03:34:32.799 --> 03:34:43.040
There are people who uh definitely don't like it and they don't like the way that the minigame has certain if you want everything in the game, you gotta play the minigame.
03:34:43.120 --> 03:34:44.799
Like they don't like the aspect of it.
03:34:45.040 --> 03:34:47.200
Tactically, it's very fun.
03:34:47.440 --> 03:34:52.719
The music, uh the source tune doesn't sound anything like the remix, which we love.
03:34:52.959 --> 03:34:56.799
Yeah, we love when the remix elevates the source.
03:34:57.040 --> 03:34:59.280
Well, what would you what would you call the original source?
03:34:59.360 --> 03:35:18.559
Because it's almost kind of like a uh almost feels like an I'm not an anime connoisseur, but something that you would hear from like cowboy bebop a little bit, or kind of uh, you know, it's got it's got those jazzy vibes and stuff like that, but yeah, uh it does have that kind of almost feels like you're in a casino, like you're in some sort of gambling establishment.
03:35:18.719 --> 03:35:21.680
It is something it is definitely up-tempo Japanese jazz.
03:35:21.840 --> 03:35:22.159
Totally.
03:35:22.559 --> 03:35:27.840
It's it's very seatbelts, you know, it's very right, right, right.
03:35:28.079 --> 03:35:31.760
Uh yeah, so yeah, that's what that's what yeah, that's definitely what I was thinking of there.
03:35:31.840 --> 03:35:34.239
But Yoko Kano stuff, yeah.
03:35:34.559 --> 03:35:51.520
The source, uh so Siren uh Siren Star doing the vocal line in the source is done by the saxophone, and you hear that saxophone sting a lot between you know the sound effects of you putting cards down and the monsters making noise.
03:35:51.840 --> 03:35:53.840
I'm I'm gonna have to listen to the source too now.
03:35:54.079 --> 03:36:00.799
And I I really all I always appreciate when there's like a big genre disparity between source and remix.
03:36:01.040 --> 03:36:02.719
Uh it's always a delight.
03:36:03.040 --> 03:36:06.399
And I think the and I think the cool thing about it in both cases, right?
03:36:06.479 --> 03:36:15.040
So even though it's just a complete genre change, right, the original is upbeat and kind of has a a positive vibe to it.
03:36:15.280 --> 03:36:26.479
And I think this I think this disco rendition of it sort of ratchets up that that just uh that positivity, like the level of positivity in it with the vocals and everything like that.
03:36:26.559 --> 03:36:27.520
I think it was pretty good.
03:36:27.600 --> 03:36:31.280
It's um it's not meant to make you think too hard, right?
03:36:31.360 --> 03:36:33.840
It's meant to make you fit into the groove.
03:36:34.000 --> 03:36:39.760
So ironically, it might fit within the rebirth OST.
03:36:40.000 --> 03:36:41.600
Like in the same vein that.
03:36:42.479 --> 03:36:43.520
Yeah, a thousand percent.
03:36:43.920 --> 03:36:54.479
Like the the team that did the remake and the rebirth, like music stuff, how they went and like their treatment of the Uimatsu originals is is phenomenal.
03:36:54.639 --> 03:37:08.959
How like the level of detail to which they went to be uh like drawing from the source but doing rearrangements and re-inspirations, I think Yorito drew from that same, you know, kind of uh first principles to make this remix.
03:37:09.200 --> 03:37:11.840
Those nerds redoing old video game music.
03:37:11.920 --> 03:37:12.719
What the hell?
03:37:12.959 --> 03:37:14.799
Oh, I remember my statement.
03:37:15.040 --> 03:37:22.879
My statement is I think over the course of the podcast I have pronounced it JoRito and Horito and Yorito.
03:37:23.040 --> 03:37:24.959
I think I've covered all of my bases.
03:37:25.280 --> 03:37:26.239
The three triplets.
03:37:26.719 --> 03:37:30.319
I told you when you started, I was like, we've got so many names to go over.
03:37:30.479 --> 03:37:33.040
Like, you know, not McVaf, it's McVaf.
03:37:34.239 --> 03:37:44.879
Oh come on, and Schnobu Schnobubula, which you know, you I think you say you say that correctly, but I'm just saying there's so there's lots of complicated, you know, funky names that are in the community.
03:37:45.360 --> 03:37:52.559
So Dark Sword is Dark Sword is Sharik, and you know, people go Shark and Sharique, and you know, all that kind of stuff.
03:37:53.120 --> 03:37:54.959
So so many things to learn.
03:37:55.200 --> 03:38:02.959
The the ones I've been struggling with lately is the last uh two or three months or so, we have had so many French names.
03:38:03.280 --> 03:38:13.200
Uh and yeah uh and uh why can't the French spell?
03:38:13.280 --> 03:38:15.360
I guess is the question I have for everyone.
03:38:17.200 --> 03:38:19.360
That's a shot across the bow right there.
03:38:20.159 --> 03:38:21.680
That was not me saying that.
03:38:22.399 --> 03:38:26.639
Views of Zach Tori represent overclock remix.
03:38:27.200 --> 03:38:32.000
Hilariously, we still don't have an Expedition 33 remix posted.
03:38:32.559 --> 03:38:33.760
Hit a blue lighter.
03:38:34.559 --> 03:38:37.920
I don't know, maybe get the time for the French brigade.
03:38:38.000 --> 03:38:38.319
Come on.
03:38:38.639 --> 03:38:42.559
Uh we maybe we maybe we have some French Canadians as well.
03:38:43.840 --> 03:38:46.799
Yeah, uh audio uh prism.
03:38:47.040 --> 03:38:48.319
Aero Prism, where you at?
03:38:48.799 --> 03:38:49.200
Get in here.
03:38:49.520 --> 03:38:52.319
See what we play Monsieur Oh, we have some more.
03:38:52.479 --> 03:38:53.600
Y'all make it happen.
03:38:53.840 --> 03:38:55.280
Into the lane, no further.
03:38:55.600 --> 03:38:58.479
We can't Zach, aren't you Hungarian?
03:38:58.719 --> 03:39:03.280
Aren't there like a billion like letters in like one word?
03:39:03.680 --> 03:39:07.680
I'm still thinking of like the longest word in Hungarian.
03:39:07.840 --> 03:39:13.760
That's just like for the repeated desecration of you or something like that.
03:39:14.239 --> 03:39:24.399
So so so uh my experience with a Hungarian language is uh listening to my mom speak it to my grandparents and then refusing to teach me any.
03:39:24.559 --> 03:39:33.840
So like I'm very familiar with the sound of Hungarian, but uh in terms of words, I know like food names of dishes.
03:39:34.159 --> 03:39:35.280
Like foods.
03:39:35.520 --> 03:39:36.079
That's it.
03:39:36.639 --> 03:39:37.600
Ghoulash.
03:39:37.760 --> 03:39:38.079
Yeah.
03:39:38.319 --> 03:39:39.440
It's a hard language.
03:39:39.520 --> 03:39:41.360
All I know is how to say hello.
03:39:41.600 --> 03:39:42.159
See ya.
03:39:42.719 --> 03:39:43.760
See ya, stok.
03:39:44.799 --> 03:39:52.559
Uh, I do know that I mean this is very podcast inappropriate, but like uh the Hungarians are like poets of profanity.
03:39:52.719 --> 03:39:58.879
Uh there are some absolutely wild swear words in Hungarian.
03:40:00.799 --> 03:40:01.440
Nice.
03:40:01.600 --> 03:40:04.239
Time to earn the explicit tag for the podcast.
03:40:07.120 --> 03:40:09.520
Nothing but dolphin noises from here on out.
03:40:12.479 --> 03:40:13.280
Yeah, right.
03:40:13.440 --> 03:40:14.000
Perfect.
03:40:14.239 --> 03:40:16.719
I think that I think that's true for a lot of us there, right?
03:40:16.799 --> 03:40:20.559
Like like for their grandparents, like for mine that were either Slovakian or German.
03:40:20.639 --> 03:40:22.879
I didn't really hear them speak it unless they're angry at me.
03:40:22.959 --> 03:40:28.159
So it's usually you know words that are appropriate, not for this podcast.
03:40:30.000 --> 03:40:30.719
Sorry, go ahead.
03:40:30.959 --> 03:40:34.479
I was just gonna say I'm half Russian, and so I know some Russian cuss words.
03:40:34.559 --> 03:40:36.559
Ah, I won't say them here.
03:40:36.639 --> 03:40:41.920
We're not gonna we're not I'm it you may get the explicit tag for this episode, but it won't be my fault.
03:40:43.040 --> 03:40:44.399
I can we can just start going off.
03:40:44.479 --> 03:40:45.120
I got Spanish.
03:40:47.840 --> 03:40:48.479
Get it.
03:40:48.639 --> 03:40:56.719
I once got told an Indonesian curse that I've now forgotten, which basically equates to if you eat too many onions, may you have an explosion in your pants.
03:40:57.040 --> 03:40:58.159
Oh, that's a good one.
03:40:58.959 --> 03:41:00.239
Do onions do that?
03:41:00.559 --> 03:41:02.079
It's a good remix title, too.
03:41:02.239 --> 03:41:04.799
You ever hear some things that make good remix titles?
03:41:04.959 --> 03:41:07.600
If you eat too many onions, you have an explosion in your pants.
03:41:07.760 --> 03:41:14.079
It's gotta be like a parapha chop chop master onions rap, and you're just rapping about the pants explosion.
03:41:14.399 --> 03:41:15.280
Oh, idea.
03:41:15.520 --> 03:41:16.799
Okay, running that one down.
03:41:16.959 --> 03:41:18.079
Yeah, you're a lyricist.
03:41:18.159 --> 03:41:18.559
There you go.
03:41:18.639 --> 03:41:19.120
Boom.
03:41:19.360 --> 03:41:19.760
There you go.
03:41:20.959 --> 03:41:22.079
We're making magic here.
03:41:22.399 --> 03:41:27.280
Pop quiz, someone rattle off the full title of Alarm Fish Man again.
03:41:27.840 --> 03:41:28.559
Oh, dude.
03:41:30.319 --> 03:41:36.479
Fish fan overclocked alarm mix time shift all caps 100%.
03:41:39.040 --> 03:41:46.639
The all-inclusive exclusive club for hairy fishmen who shoot forever turbo alarm clocks.
03:41:50.159 --> 03:41:51.120
I can shot web.
03:41:51.760 --> 03:41:55.520
Uh so it's way past my bedtime.
03:41:55.760 --> 03:42:09.520
Uh, and I suspect that might be the case for a lot of people, but I want to do the courteous podcast host thing and ask everyone uh, do you have anything you want to shout out or plug?
03:42:10.559 --> 03:42:12.079
Uh uh can I go first?
03:42:12.559 --> 03:42:12.959
Sure.
03:42:13.200 --> 03:42:18.159
Okay, uh it probably will already have been done by the time this episode airs, I suspect.
03:42:18.319 --> 03:42:33.360
Um December 18th, we're doing the second no-show uh on the judges panel where we will take and uh we will listen to several tracks live and judge them in front of an audience so that you can see how in the past tense you have to refer.
03:42:33.520 --> 03:42:35.120
We see we that's what we did.
03:42:35.360 --> 03:42:35.520
Right.
03:42:35.760 --> 03:42:37.760
And we and we were amazing at it.
03:42:38.079 --> 03:42:50.479
Yeah, we definitely ripped a bunch of tracks, a new one, uh fairly, because we're them evil judges, and we tried not to praise them too hard, even the ones that kind of were a layup.
03:42:50.959 --> 03:42:57.200
I having listened to none of them uh here in the past, I don't actually know what they sound like yet.
03:42:57.280 --> 03:42:59.120
I'm just assuming that's what's gonna happen.
03:42:59.200 --> 03:43:09.520
But yeah, if you want to see us uh make and then unmake the sausage as the judges panel, tune in on the 18th, or check out uh there'll probably a VOD for it on YouTube.
03:43:09.920 --> 03:43:13.520
We'll have a link to that probably in the podcast description in the doobly.
03:43:14.000 --> 03:43:20.879
Yeah, if if you if you remember to send me a link to that w once it's available, I will put it in the podcast description.
03:43:21.120 --> 03:43:22.399
Right in the doobly-doo.
03:43:22.639 --> 03:43:23.360
Who's next?
03:43:23.520 --> 03:43:36.959
Uh Morgan, we've mentioned previously, and has a very long video on the history of the snare drum, has a new video coming out soonish, as soon as they finish uh editing it, which has been taking quite some time for them.
03:43:37.280 --> 03:43:40.239
Uh, podcast editing I already find challenging.
03:43:40.319 --> 03:43:44.799
I can't imagine how much more effort adding video on top of the audio would be.
03:43:51.280 --> 03:43:52.799
That sounds like a lot.
03:43:52.959 --> 03:43:54.319
Uh dubstep stink.
03:43:54.479 --> 03:43:54.959
Hell yeah.
03:43:55.360 --> 03:43:57.520
I just wanted to- Oh, go ahead, Dialogue.
03:43:57.760 --> 03:44:09.520
I just want to give them a shout-out as well, um, because they've had seven remix uh mix posts this year alone uh at the time of recording, and probably even more by the time this comes out.
03:44:09.680 --> 03:44:20.079
So uh I just wanted to congratulate them on having a phenomenal year um and that I'm so glad that they are now a fully fledged member of the overclock remix community.
03:44:20.319 --> 03:44:20.879
Here, here.
03:44:21.680 --> 03:44:23.840
They're okay, they're decent at music.
03:44:25.280 --> 03:44:27.760
Uh I guess.
03:44:27.920 --> 03:44:28.639
Yeah, go.
03:44:29.040 --> 03:44:31.440
Uh on when is this gonna be released?
03:44:31.520 --> 03:44:33.360
It might already be out, it might be on VARD.
03:44:33.920 --> 03:44:37.680
But um Wait, are you asking when the podcast is gonna be released?
03:44:37.840 --> 03:44:38.319
Yeah.
03:44:38.639 --> 03:44:40.879
Probably between Christmas and New Year's.
03:44:41.120 --> 03:44:45.360
Alright, yeah, so by then this will already be out uh on video on demand.
03:44:45.520 --> 03:44:59.520
Uh it's uh I am uh gonna be playing a couple of parts and a table read of a Christmas Carol, a Muppet Christmas Carol on the 19th on uh twitch.com.
03:44:59.840 --> 03:45:01.120
Dungeons and Degrees.
03:45:01.280 --> 03:45:02.879
Uh if anybody wants to listen to that.
03:45:03.280 --> 03:45:05.120
Tell us what TV.
03:45:05.520 --> 03:45:07.440
I I'm playing uh Mr.
03:45:07.600 --> 03:45:09.840
Applegate and Robert Marley.
03:45:10.239 --> 03:45:10.719
Yeah.
03:45:10.879 --> 03:45:12.079
We'll see how I do.
03:45:12.879 --> 03:45:20.000
And then uh next year I'm gonna be voicing a small part in a podcast called the Oracle Pod.
03:45:20.399 --> 03:45:22.159
So yeah, keep an eye out for that.
03:45:22.479 --> 03:45:23.840
Christ, don't say next year.
03:45:24.000 --> 03:45:25.440
This year has gone too fast.
03:45:25.600 --> 03:45:28.719
It's it can't be it can't be almost next year already.
03:45:28.959 --> 03:45:31.840
Most of my stuff is next year, so I'm just gonna I'll end it there.
03:45:32.079 --> 03:45:33.760
Thank you for uh having me on.
03:45:33.840 --> 03:45:34.559
This has been great.
03:45:34.799 --> 03:45:35.760
You're welcome.
03:45:36.000 --> 03:45:38.079
Uh who hasn't plugged yet?
03:45:38.239 --> 03:45:39.920
Uh I got a couple.
03:45:40.159 --> 03:45:40.879
Go for it.
03:45:41.200 --> 03:45:45.120
Um, so uh I already put the call out.
03:45:45.200 --> 03:45:47.200
Uh this will be coming out in April.
03:45:47.440 --> 03:45:57.120
We have an unsanctioned, unofficial, overclocked uh community album called um Overclock Fishness.
03:45:57.440 --> 03:46:01.040
It's for uh the April Fish, April Fool's Day.
03:46:01.280 --> 03:46:06.239
Um yeah, it's silly, you know.
03:46:07.680 --> 03:46:23.280
If you've got any like meme tracks or some out there concept that you want to do, I don't know, like uh the Donkey Kong rap as like a Gregorian chant, go for it.
03:46:23.600 --> 03:46:27.680
Um also I wanna plug a podcast that I heard about.
03:46:27.760 --> 03:46:30.159
I think it's called Overclock Podcast.
03:46:33.600 --> 03:46:34.399
Listeners.
03:46:35.440 --> 03:46:43.440
Yeah, I um I'm a patron or I contribute a little, you know, server costs ain't cheap.
03:46:43.760 --> 03:46:56.319
So, you know, support the show, support, you know, artists, real human being artists that I am not, but try to pretend to be.
03:46:56.559 --> 03:47:02.079
And if there's any extra, it goes to overclocked remakes to help with their server costs.
03:47:02.479 --> 03:47:04.319
That is the podcast promise.
03:47:04.559 --> 03:47:06.799
Yeah, put that money in Larry's pocket.
03:47:08.239 --> 03:47:09.920
That's where it goes, clearly.
03:47:10.239 --> 03:47:15.280
When you said a real human being a real hero from uh college, it popped in my head.
03:47:15.360 --> 03:47:17.200
I don't know if anybody remembers that song.
03:47:17.600 --> 03:47:19.520
I want to recommend everybody listen to that song too.
03:47:19.600 --> 03:47:20.079
It's pretty good.
03:47:21.360 --> 03:47:24.079
Uh maybe I'll contribute something to April Fool's.
03:47:24.239 --> 03:47:29.920
Uh a year ago I was inspired around this time of year to uh do the podcast.
03:47:30.079 --> 03:47:34.159
Maybe I can uh expand my horizons a little more and do a meme track.
03:47:34.639 --> 03:47:36.159
Goodness gracious.
03:47:38.559 --> 03:47:40.399
I'm gonna blame it on Larry again.
03:47:40.639 --> 03:47:41.520
Oh, I love it.
03:47:41.600 --> 03:47:42.879
See, everything is my fault.
03:47:42.959 --> 03:47:43.680
I see it.
03:47:43.840 --> 03:47:49.440
I open my big mouth and you know, tell people to stick it in their craw and they're like, I'll show you.
03:47:49.600 --> 03:47:51.200
I'm gonna do a good job.
03:47:51.440 --> 03:47:53.840
So oh wait, you know what now that I'm talking.
03:47:54.159 --> 03:47:55.280
Plugs, plugs, plugs.
03:47:55.520 --> 03:47:58.639
So yes, we've been talking about we've been talking about the Time Shift album.
03:47:58.719 --> 03:48:01.760
So just wanted to make sure to give one more plug to Time Shift.
03:48:01.840 --> 03:48:09.760
You you know, you've been you heard snippets and snappets and whip it's and whappets of all the tracks, you know.
03:48:09.920 --> 03:48:11.360
So don't be a Grinch.
03:48:11.600 --> 03:48:17.280
Make sure to check out Time Shift Overclocked Remix 25th Anniversary album.
03:48:17.840 --> 03:48:24.239
Celebrating a long, long, long, long, long 25th anniversary year that is now just concluded.
03:48:24.399 --> 03:48:30.319
And so is one of the one of the most unique album premises that we've had in the community.
03:48:30.399 --> 03:48:48.239
So cheers to Dialect for uh his his absolutely impulsive, crazy decision to to go this route and and do something that's not just the the tried and true uh Nintendo Super Nintendo Source Tunes that we we we always hear.
03:48:48.639 --> 03:48:50.559
We've got some of those too in Timeshift World.
03:48:50.879 --> 03:48:55.760
So everything for every audience bastards, no matter what you want.
03:48:56.479 --> 03:49:01.280
Get the old, a little bit of a little just a little smattering, just a little taste of the old.
03:49:02.079 --> 03:49:03.200
And then the new.
03:49:03.440 --> 03:49:12.159
So fresh, so vivid, with such a because we were talking about the French campaign earlier.
03:49:12.239 --> 03:49:14.959
I don't I don't I didn't say any French words, but that's it.
03:49:15.280 --> 03:49:26.799
So get time shift, make sure to grab that, and then just because you I do many of the write-ups for the featured tracks on OCRemix.org proper, do yourself a favor.
03:49:26.959 --> 03:49:40.079
I say this to everybody, I wouldn't be here myself as community manager and overall video game music enthusiast had I not tried all of the OC remixes that are available on the website.
03:49:40.319 --> 03:49:50.959
So we've got Torrents, you can download the albums, and then most important, the individual remix collection, the bread and butter of Overclock Remix.
03:49:51.200 --> 03:49:56.159
We are almost at uh the number wise at 5,000.
03:49:56.399 --> 03:50:05.360
So make sure to get them all and open your eyes and ears to the wonders of video game music, especially from games that you haven't played.
03:50:05.440 --> 03:50:07.600
Don't just stick with the stuff you're nostalgic for.
03:50:07.760 --> 03:50:11.440
Try everything, and you will find some of your new favorite music.
03:50:11.600 --> 03:50:12.239
So do that.
03:50:12.319 --> 03:50:13.440
That's my shameless plug.
03:50:13.760 --> 03:50:20.000
Continuing on from what continuing on from what uh Larry said, and thank you very much for the kind words about the album.
03:50:20.159 --> 03:50:22.239
Um which I hated, by the way.
03:50:23.200 --> 03:50:25.760
You have to say these nice things on the podcast.
03:50:25.920 --> 03:50:26.879
No, you be quiet.
03:50:27.040 --> 03:50:28.479
See, he's biasing it.
03:50:28.639 --> 03:50:30.159
I hated every moment.
03:50:30.799 --> 03:50:36.000
Okay, case in point, I never got into Mega Man music until I listened to Overclock Remix.
03:50:36.239 --> 03:50:38.639
Oh my what a reveal.
03:50:38.879 --> 03:50:39.520
There you go.
03:50:39.760 --> 03:50:43.200
Hey man, some of us, I say this in my little origin story all the time.
03:50:43.280 --> 03:50:51.200
This is you know, Larry chatter chatting in again because you know, I feel like I've been slandered right there, you know, just because Dialek hasn't played much Mega Man.
03:50:51.360 --> 03:51:06.959
But part of the thing with me and my OC Remix fandom, I always mention this, is that even though I had Super Mario Bros., you know, one, two, and three, and Street Fighter, Streets of Rage, those kinds of things, and I would, those were the games I was looking up when I first heard of OC Remix.
03:51:07.200 --> 03:51:16.000
But that was how I learned about the music and sort of the gameplay a little bit of the Mega Man's, the Secret of Manas, Castlevania, Final Fantasy.
03:51:16.079 --> 03:51:20.239
Like I didn't I'd never heard of Final Fantasy until OC Remix.
03:51:20.399 --> 03:51:22.079
I didn't really care about RPGs.
03:51:22.159 --> 03:51:26.319
I played a little bit, but that wasn't really the stuff I was into as much.
03:51:26.479 --> 03:51:39.680
So getting to learn about stuff, franchises that had a lot of classic game music, OC Remix definitely opened my eyes to a lot of things that I missed in the 8 and 16-bit eras.
03:51:40.159 --> 03:51:45.520
Uh I think, yeah, actually, I think I got into Secret of Mana because of OC Remix.
03:51:45.680 --> 03:51:48.159
I I think I had not even heard of the game.
03:51:48.399 --> 03:51:55.760
Uh also, I want to say, I just whipped out my calculator uh with almost 5,000 tracks.
03:51:56.000 --> 03:52:03.440
Uh, if you listen to just one a day, you'll have music for uh over 13 years.
03:52:03.760 --> 03:52:05.120
Wow, why so slow?
03:52:05.200 --> 03:52:05.840
How dare you?
03:52:06.000 --> 03:52:06.559
You know what?
03:52:06.719 --> 03:52:09.760
If you can listen to one a day, you can probably fit 10 a day.
03:52:09.920 --> 03:52:11.520
How much shorter would it be then?
03:52:11.680 --> 03:52:21.040
You do 10 a day, then it'll only take one year, five months, 200 hours, ticks of a clock.
03:52:26.959 --> 03:52:28.559
Oh goodness gracious.
03:52:28.719 --> 03:52:29.840
We're not on Broadway.
03:52:30.079 --> 03:52:31.840
Don't, don't, don't you dare.
03:52:32.079 --> 03:52:35.360
I don't want us to get copyright struck when I would sing that.
03:52:35.600 --> 03:52:38.799
I'm pretty sure I garbled those lyrics, so just go for it, see what happens.
03:52:39.040 --> 03:52:39.520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:52:39.600 --> 03:52:40.159
Hey, you know what?
03:52:40.239 --> 03:52:41.440
Let me let me let me ask real quick.
03:52:41.520 --> 03:52:42.799
I'm gonna hide I'm gonna hijack the show.
03:52:42.879 --> 03:52:44.000
Again, this is Larry, of course.
03:52:44.159 --> 03:52:45.280
Larry hijacks the show.
03:52:45.360 --> 03:52:46.000
He's a community manager.
03:52:46.079 --> 03:52:46.719
I'm allowed to hijack.
03:52:46.879 --> 03:52:47.200
Now listen.
03:52:47.360 --> 03:52:48.479
You're you are allowed, yes.
03:52:48.719 --> 03:52:57.760
So die luck, now that you've done the one, now sometimes people end up getting the little tasty taste, and they're like, oh, you know, case in point, we've got David there.
03:52:58.000 --> 03:53:00.079
So he could definitely speak to it, right?
03:53:00.159 --> 03:53:01.840
You make one, you're like, you know what?
03:53:02.000 --> 03:53:05.840
Alright, got the got the community album under my belt.
03:53:06.079 --> 03:53:06.799
Feeling it.
03:53:06.959 --> 03:53:08.319
Maybe there could be some more ideas.
03:53:08.479 --> 03:53:10.239
So die luck, are there any more ideas?
03:53:10.559 --> 03:53:11.200
What's going on?
03:53:11.360 --> 03:53:11.920
I've got a lot of things.
03:53:13.680 --> 03:53:16.399
If you were here earlier, Larry, you would have the answer to that.
03:53:16.879 --> 03:53:17.440
Damn it.
03:53:18.959 --> 03:53:19.280
Okay.
03:53:21.280 --> 03:53:21.760
Yep.
03:53:21.920 --> 03:53:31.600
I uh I basically plugged that the next project is going to be Illusion of Gaia Stroke, uh Illusion of Time, because it's got a different name depending on what side of the Atlantic you're from.
03:53:31.840 --> 03:53:32.159
Oh.
03:53:32.639 --> 03:53:37.280
And then I've got two more after that that I'm keeping close to my bit close, uh, close to my chest.
03:53:37.760 --> 03:53:38.000
See.
03:53:38.879 --> 03:53:44.399
But that is how it you do one and then you do another, and then you take a break, and then you come back and do some more.
03:53:44.719 --> 03:53:46.000
It always works out that way.
03:53:46.159 --> 03:53:53.120
Yeah, I'd I was gonna say, like, the only plug that I've got, and and this is kind of a humorous one, but but kind of is kind of funny.
03:53:53.360 --> 03:54:02.159
Um, it basically shout out to all all the remixes that have been put on the backlog by all the remixers that were so close to seeing the light of day.
03:54:02.399 --> 03:54:06.639
Just just put in that extra effort, guys, and and you can you can push them out, and it'll be amazing.
03:54:06.719 --> 03:54:07.840
We'll have so many more.
03:54:08.079 --> 03:54:13.040
Like, if you have like the 60 or 70 works in progress that I have, I'm sure you guys have more than I do.
03:54:13.120 --> 03:54:22.399
So I mean, you ever had a dream that you could and you and you and you would and you could and you uh you wanted to do them so bad you could do anything?
03:54:22.719 --> 03:54:24.799
Because you know, lots of people have.
03:54:25.360 --> 03:54:31.600
I do want to point out one of the great perks of being a remixer is having an orange name on the Discord.
03:54:31.920 --> 03:54:33.120
Is that what that is?
03:54:34.079 --> 03:54:34.559
That's right.
03:54:34.719 --> 03:54:35.120
It's true.
03:54:35.360 --> 03:54:36.639
The orange name club.
03:54:37.440 --> 03:54:42.479
Where the pets we are giving you access to a room that nobody else has access to.
03:54:42.559 --> 03:54:45.920
It's it's it's it's like the grip the uh green room right before you got on stage.
03:54:47.600 --> 03:54:50.719
There's no better orange than the orange name club.
03:54:51.040 --> 03:54:52.479
Can I plug one more thing?
03:54:52.639 --> 03:54:53.440
Yeah, go for it.
03:54:53.840 --> 03:54:54.959
Just because I feel like I should.
03:54:55.040 --> 03:54:57.600
It it's it's part of OC Remix history.
03:54:57.760 --> 03:55:04.239
Uh is that I think it's the 14th anniversary of the very first badass album.
03:55:04.479 --> 03:55:12.239
Um I believe the first one was badass boss themes.
03:55:12.479 --> 03:55:14.159
Yeah, badass boss themes.
03:55:14.319 --> 03:55:15.360
Uh wick it up.
03:55:15.680 --> 03:55:17.760
I think it's been four or five five years?
03:55:17.920 --> 03:55:23.200
I forget where to start counting of uh Paragons and Renegades, which is can't believe that much time has passed by.
03:55:23.520 --> 03:55:27.840
I think like co-worker is on the first badass boss themes.
03:55:28.159 --> 03:55:30.719
Actually, it is it is five years.
03:55:31.200 --> 03:55:33.840
Uh oh, I'm trying to remember his screen name.
03:55:33.920 --> 03:55:35.520
Uh his name's Erwin.
03:55:36.000 --> 03:55:37.280
Erwin Kwan, yeah.
03:55:37.440 --> 03:55:38.319
Yeah, that's it.
03:55:38.799 --> 03:55:40.000
And Arcana.
03:55:40.399 --> 03:55:40.959
Arcana.
03:55:42.079 --> 03:55:45.120
He is literally like three offices down from me.
03:55:45.440 --> 03:55:46.000
Small world.
03:55:46.239 --> 03:55:46.719
Oh wow.
03:55:47.120 --> 03:55:47.840
Small world.
03:55:48.079 --> 03:55:48.239
Yeah.
03:55:48.959 --> 03:55:52.879
All of the badass albums are uh are mainstays for my DD playlist.
03:55:53.120 --> 03:55:55.200
Oh that's great.
03:55:55.360 --> 03:55:57.760
I would have never even thought of it that way, but yeah, hell yeah.
03:55:58.000 --> 03:56:00.319
And there are what, four badass albums now?
03:56:00.559 --> 03:56:01.680
There's yeah.
03:56:01.920 --> 03:56:02.399
Mm-hmm.
03:56:02.639 --> 03:56:03.680
Went to the next one.
03:56:03.920 --> 03:56:06.639
I don't know who wants to pick up the torch before.
03:56:07.040 --> 03:56:08.159
That's right, that's right.
03:56:08.399 --> 03:56:09.680
Gotta pick up the mantle.
03:56:09.920 --> 03:56:12.319
I want badass main menu theme music.
03:56:12.399 --> 03:56:14.079
I want badass select theme music.
03:56:14.159 --> 03:56:16.079
I want badass safe room theme music.
03:56:16.319 --> 03:56:21.200
Oh badass character screen select music would be pretty great.
03:56:21.280 --> 03:56:21.840
Oh, dude.
03:56:22.159 --> 03:56:23.040
Take you for a ride.
03:56:24.159 --> 03:56:26.079
Take you for a ride.
03:56:27.440 --> 03:56:31.200
Instructions unclear all Resident Evil Savering theme remix.
03:56:31.920 --> 03:56:32.479
Definition.
03:56:33.040 --> 03:56:33.680
Yeah.
03:56:34.159 --> 03:56:34.799
Yeah.
03:56:35.520 --> 03:56:46.159
Uh did you guys hear that um uh 8 bit Big Band did uh an incredible, like super fleshed out version of Take You for a Ride?
03:56:47.120 --> 03:56:51.520
Oh man, I haven't, but it is uh I'll I'll I'll I'll drop it in chat.
03:56:51.600 --> 03:56:52.639
It's incredible.
03:56:53.040 --> 03:56:54.799
Yeah, thank you for putting that on my radar.
03:56:54.879 --> 03:56:58.000
Because uh no, listen, I mean, as somebody that played Marvel vs.
03:56:58.159 --> 03:57:04.639
Capcom 2 back when it actually came out, uh people were clowning on that soundtrack.
03:57:04.719 --> 03:57:05.520
It was crazy.
03:57:05.680 --> 03:57:06.959
It's so good though.
03:57:07.440 --> 03:57:09.360
A lot of people, no, a lot of people loved it though.
03:57:09.440 --> 03:57:10.159
That's the thing, right?
03:57:10.239 --> 03:57:11.840
I mean, people would people would fight about it.
03:57:11.920 --> 03:57:15.120
They'd be like, oh man, stupid, stupid jazz music, what's going on here?
03:57:15.200 --> 03:57:16.799
It's like, man, this stuff is awesome.
03:57:16.959 --> 03:57:19.920
And now it's all Mario music, is is that's what it sounds like.
03:57:20.000 --> 03:57:30.479
It's just that I remember really liking it, if only because like I'm pretty sure it's at least one of the same composers as Breath of Fire 3, which is oh cool, one of my all-time favorites.
03:57:30.719 --> 03:57:33.200
Yeah, no, Mar and Marvel vs.
03:57:33.360 --> 03:57:36.639
Capcom 2 is a vastly underrated soundtrack.
03:57:36.879 --> 03:57:40.559
And even even if somehow it was overrated, it's still underrated.
03:57:40.879 --> 03:57:42.319
Because it's phenomenal.
03:57:42.399 --> 03:57:47.200
And look, maybe it maybe it goes against type for fighting games, but it was a lot of fun.
03:57:47.520 --> 03:57:50.559
Those are the best kind of fighting games, though, the ones that go against type.
03:57:50.799 --> 03:57:52.479
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
03:57:52.799 --> 03:57:54.639
Uh has everyone plugged?
03:57:54.799 --> 03:57:56.000
Are we missing anyone?
03:57:56.239 --> 03:57:58.159
Oh man, they they have to have been done.
03:57:58.239 --> 03:58:00.719
If you haven't spoken up now, you're dead to me.
03:58:00.959 --> 03:58:02.000
Yeah, we all spoke up.
03:58:02.319 --> 03:58:05.440
I mean, other than uh timeshift.ocremix.org.
03:58:05.600 --> 03:58:07.680
Time shift.ocremix.org.
03:58:07.840 --> 03:58:08.399
That's right.
03:58:08.719 --> 03:58:11.200
Uh yes.
03:58:12.159 --> 03:58:13.920
How many Grammy winners do you have?
03:58:14.000 --> 03:58:15.840
Or well, you know, Grammy nominees rather.
03:58:16.319 --> 03:58:16.799
We don't know yet.
03:58:18.000 --> 03:58:21.040
How many Grammy nominees do you have on your video game music album?
03:58:21.120 --> 03:58:24.479
You're not the only ones who got the Grammys, a big big band.
03:58:25.040 --> 03:58:27.520
I have one on badass, at least.
03:58:27.680 --> 03:58:28.319
Oh yeah.
03:58:28.479 --> 03:58:28.639
Yeah.
03:58:28.799 --> 03:58:30.159
Is it Bustatunes?
03:58:30.399 --> 03:58:31.120
Is it two?
03:58:31.360 --> 03:58:32.079
There's two.
03:58:32.319 --> 03:58:32.639
Oh.
03:58:34.159 --> 03:58:35.280
Who's the other one?
03:58:35.600 --> 03:58:35.920
Me.
03:58:36.559 --> 03:58:37.120
Are you serious?
03:58:37.200 --> 03:58:37.840
What are we talking about?
03:58:38.000 --> 03:58:39.920
Yeah, not for music, that's for sound design.
03:58:40.000 --> 03:58:40.319
Anyway.
03:58:40.639 --> 03:58:41.680
Oh, I mean still.
03:58:41.920 --> 03:58:43.040
Well, Grammy's a Grammy.
03:58:43.200 --> 03:58:43.680
Oh, that's a good one.
03:58:44.719 --> 03:58:45.840
How do I find that, brother?
03:58:46.639 --> 03:58:46.959
Never mind.
03:58:47.120 --> 03:58:48.159
It was uh sport.
03:58:48.959 --> 03:58:51.360
Uh that doesn't count then.
03:58:51.520 --> 03:58:51.680
No.
03:58:51.920 --> 03:58:52.399
Oh my gosh.
03:58:52.719 --> 03:58:53.680
Oh, we don't care if that goes.
03:58:54.159 --> 03:58:55.840
That was just part of a team that got nominated.
03:58:55.920 --> 03:58:56.559
It wasn't even me.
03:58:56.719 --> 03:59:01.040
I just like to make it sound like a son of a debated.
03:59:01.680 --> 03:59:12.079
So, like, uh if you if you ever look like a uh at a biology paper, uh my wife's a scientist, so we sometimes just have like journal articles laying around the house.
03:59:12.319 --> 03:59:22.239
And um you look at like a biology paper and there's like 80 authors, I I think I think you can say you got an Oscar.
03:59:22.479 --> 03:59:25.120
Yeah, like if you were part of the orchestra or something like that.
03:59:25.280 --> 03:59:26.399
I I know not in that case, right?
03:59:26.479 --> 03:59:29.280
But if you're part of an orchestra that was nominated, right?
03:59:29.360 --> 03:59:31.600
There's like a hundred musicians in there or something.
03:59:31.680 --> 03:59:32.879
You can that counts.
03:59:33.120 --> 03:59:34.079
It has to.
03:59:34.319 --> 03:59:35.200
You're part of it.
03:59:35.440 --> 03:59:36.399
So that's amazing.
03:59:36.639 --> 03:59:38.319
You're not gonna reveal for what what for?
03:59:38.399 --> 03:59:39.200
Like, can we find this?
03:59:39.280 --> 03:59:40.639
Or are we talking about me?
03:59:40.719 --> 03:59:41.680
Yeah, you David.
03:59:42.000 --> 03:59:45.200
Oh, yeah, it was uh Who else got nominated for an Oscar?
03:59:45.680 --> 03:59:47.360
Well, not me, just the team I was on.
03:59:48.239 --> 03:59:49.120
It still counts.
03:59:50.399 --> 03:59:53.520
So before all of this, I've been putting on this weird sound effect I made.
03:59:53.600 --> 03:59:54.959
It was for a VR game.
03:59:55.280 --> 03:59:57.040
Oh, was it a Roblox oof?
03:59:57.440 --> 03:59:58.079
Is that you?
03:59:59.200 --> 04:00:02.239
It was a Spider-Man Homecoming VR back in the day.
04:00:02.959 --> 04:00:03.520
Yeah.
04:00:03.760 --> 04:00:13.440
I uh I did some sound editing for that and sound effects, uh, along with uh my buddy and uh rest in peace to him, Justin Lasson.
04:00:13.920 --> 04:00:15.200
We worked on that game together.
04:00:15.680 --> 04:00:23.680
Uh and yeah, uh I think by sheer luck there wasn't a huge amount of VR and they put a VR category there, we made it in.
04:00:24.079 --> 04:00:24.959
It was awesome.
04:00:25.280 --> 04:00:26.399
Sweet, man.
