That link is to my Facebook Fan Page for my music, the music player is at the bottom left of the page with some of my songs.

And that there is my YouTube with some more songs, too! :)

I still am fairly amateur and am new at this, but I love it, and would absolutely love to start taking some more requests!

Join my Facebook Fan Page if you'd like to stay updated and drop requests off where I check more often ;P

I don't mean to seem cocky here at all haha. Again I admit I am amateur and new at this, but I still love doing it, and am just very excited :)

I would totally love to see a FFIV Baron Castle or Red Wings arrangements. I've heard your stuff in it sounds good. I like your work. Keep it up! :D

Ohh, this is great. :3

I hope you don't mind if I post some of my favourite songs I'd love to hear your take on when I've gotten some sleep!

Thanks guys! And a Red Wings mix is something I've been dying to do sometime soon. I'll add it to the list :) And Compression of Time seems reasonable as well!
And of course Dolce, sounds great!
I'll be posting MP3 links to the Facebook page (only visible to fans of the page ><) every so often, so become a fan if you want some MP3s :]
Post any specific requests you'd like on the Facebook page as well, as I check the Facebook more than anything else, it's my hub :)

If you do one of Residents (VIII), you'll be my new god.

This better happen.

Haha Residents... what a fun and bizarre song. I could use a break from Crazy Motorcycle for a little (Logic is killing me with the drums...) I think a quirky orchestral cover of Residents might be fun :]

Residents. There ya go man. Haha... unique request. With such an odd song I can't tell if I'm doing it right or not hahaha... anyways enjoy

OMG wow... thanks so much, I just died a little inside. That sounded great! I've been trying to find alternate remix versions of that song for a lot time but everyone's always too cool for it. It's going on my ipod now. :)

OtaConnor
12-24-2009, 06:37 PM
Thanks man! I really appreciate it! I'm glad you like it
I also just threw up Judgement Day (FFVII) up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_2vFKqnBoY

I'll be uploading Clash on the Big Bridge in a few here, too.

I WILL be doing a Compression of Time, by the way, Q-Tip Trepe. However, I want to use a lot of choir for it- and Symphonic Choirs, the program I use for writing my choir, takes up MASSSIVVEEE cpu, and currently Final Cut is eating my computer rendering a wedding for work. (9 hours and counting left of rendering... for part 1... sigh)

Anyways I'll check back once Clash on the Big Bridge is up :)

Zak
12-24-2009, 06:52 PM
Just one thing... I dunno if it's too late, but you know the segment at the end of the loop, the part where you used piano with some kind of strong eerie resonance in the background (you probably know what I'm talking about, but to be more specific, in the original, the part with the organ)? Well, I was wondering... is it possible you can use something more funky/climactic for that part? If it's too late that's alright, I just recalled you mentioning having edited your Dark Messenger.

OtaConnor
12-24-2009, 07:55 PM
It's a little late right now, but possibly in the future- that song is fun to play with haha. Check your email by the way ;)

By the way, Clash on the Big Bridge is up :)

Alrighties, here are a few suggestions~
You don't have to do everything, just pick whatever you like. :3

Though I'll bold my absolute superduper favourites for you, so if you do one of those I'll love you forever. I also removed those that you already made or said you'll do from my favourite list (Phantom Forest, Red Wings and Clash on the Big Bridge).

Edit: I also tried to go for lesser known and more obscure themes, since there's already many rearrangements for a lot of themes, and probably a lot would pop up here sooner or later anyway. =P

I:
Matoya's Cavern
Ocean Shrine
Gurg Volcano
Battle Scene

II:
Main Theme
Sorcerer's Tower
Old Castle

III:
Living Forest
Battle 2

IV:
Kingdom Baron
Final Fantasy IV Main Theme (God, I still get goosebumps from the nostalgia of this song)
Golbeza, Clad in the Dark
Castle Damcyan
Fabul
Mystic Mysidia
Troia
Somewhere in the World
King Giott's Castle
Dancing Doll Calobrena
Another Moon
Giant's Dungeon

V:
Fate in Haze
The Battle
Pirates Ahoy
Harvest
Walking the Snowy Mountains
The Fire Powered Ship
Faraway Hometown
Exdeath's Castle
The Land Unknown (NOT Unknown Lands - although that's a neat one too :P)
Intension of the Earth
The Decisive Battle

VI:
The Mines of Narshe
Edgar and Sabin's Theme
Cyan's Theme
The Phantom Train
The Decisive Battle
Slam Shuffle
Stragus' Theme
The Day After
Gogo's Theme

IX:
Vamo' Alla Flamenco
Jesters of the Moon
Awakened Forest
Battle 1
Cid's Theme
Quina's Theme
Forgotten Face (it shares the same melody as Freya's Theme and Burmecian Kingdom, but I just love that certain version of the song :3)
Theme of the Tantalus
Fossil Rul
Black Mage Village
The Airship, Hildegarde

Haha that's quite a list! Some I already plan to do, but which those are I'll tell you when I find where I have written them down... haha.

I'm actually playing FF4 as I type this, and was just thinking about doing the theme. Even just an orchestral cover of that song would be amazing.
Golbeza Clad in the Dark, and Intension of the Earth are another two I have looked at doing as well.
I've really been wanting to do the Phantom Train, but it's a pain in the ass. If anything, I may end up just playing with the instruments with it and giving it a weird feel, for kicks and giggles. I need an accordion plugin... that would go well with it actually haha.
The Decisive Battle is another I've been looking at and asked to do a few times, so that is one I will definitely get around to!
I gotta go do some Christmas Eve stuff, I'll see if I can type out my list of current projects later :)

Red Arremer
12-24-2009, 09:06 PM
Gee, so many themes you already wanted to do that are among my favs. <3

And yes, I know that's quite a list, but as said, it's suggestions for (mostly) underrated yet very good themes, and my personal favourites mixed into it.

OtaConnor
12-25-2009, 05:22 AM
Playing with some Golbez right now, and loving it. I have a feeling this one is going to turn out really well- I'm trying to add a real cinematic touch to it.

ALSO! For everyone who is interested: Anyone who posts a message on any popular FF/Gaming Music forums about my music, (except for this site of course) and sends me a message with a link to their post, I will send 3 MP3s of your choice to you, along with a FF4 Boss Theme track that I have not released yet. Just be sure to include what songs you want along with your email in the message to me. Just be sure whatever you post on any forums has a link to my YouTube and Facebook Fan page (both in my signature).

I'm just hoping to get more people interested, and of course absolutely willing to compensate by sending you the songs, as it's only fair :)

Red Arremer
12-25-2009, 06:34 PM
Can it be a general gaming forum, too? :D

OtaConnor
12-25-2009, 07:14 PM
Absolutely. If you want to do more than 1 forum I'll see what other surprises I can email ;)

OtaConnor
12-26-2009, 05:13 AM
There are a few FF1-3 piano arrangements I've thought about... I'll keep it in mind ;)

Also, Merry Christmas guys! I have a little present for you all :)

http://www.mediafire.com/?od2nqjz40zj

It includes:
Clash on the Big Bridge (FFV)
Golbeza, Clad in the Dark (FFIV)
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec (FFVIII)

Each in pretty high quality MP3s. :)

All these are great :3

Silence and Motion (FFVIII) and Immoral Melody (FFIX) would be great also, if you have time D:

OtaConnor
01-03-2010, 05:39 AM
Immoral Melody ABSOLUTELY! I've been wanting to do a medley of the main villains's themes from ff1-10, in a rock fashion. (?, ?, ?, Golbez Clad in the Dark, Evil Lord Ex-Death, Kefka's theme, Those Chosen by the planet, Succession of Witches, Immoral Melody, Seymour's theme)

I can't believe I just typed that so well. I'm at Magfest and kind of drunk.

Cyan's, Gao's and Edgar and Sabin's theme songs. They are never remixed evar. For great justice!

Ahaaa. Awesome.

Both The Emperor and Cloud of Darkness have epic awesome battle themes, btw. o-o

Slightly embarrassed by my last post there haha.

BUT!..

Crazy Motorcycle is WELL on its way! All the guitar is played live! It will feature more live instruments than any song I have done so far!

01-07-2010, 11:52 PM
Q-tip, could you link me the Emporer's battle theme? I am unfamiliar with that one but want to know it :)

OtaConnor
01-09-2010, 03:40 AM
