Really?  Well, I would personally still rather have a new theme than an old one redone, and the song is already done, so...no sense in arguing over it at this point.

My understanding was that the Calasperan theme was supposed to be a remix of Zeal, seeing as that's what it is.


Well, Calasperan is an off-shoot of Zeal, actually, not Zeal itself.  That's why I think it deserves its own theme.  Also, what's the point in making original themes if they're just remixes?

It will loop right when I'm finally done with it.  For now, it's less than half done.  It will loop properly, believe me.

Any other comments?  I'm extremely proud of this song.  It's amazing, IMO. :)

Alright...another song.  This one is the theme of normal Calasperan, or some form of it.  It'll get lighter and more pleasant in later revisions (i.e. tonight and tomorrow).

Well, my later songs, such as the normal Calasperan theme, will indeed depend more on melody and less on instrumentation.  However, these two themes are designed to invoke a sense of dread or background, not a sense of story.  I know exactly what you're saying, though, and believe me, such concerns will be addressed in upcoming songs.

Hmm, I think that might be about to change.  I think of you as our composer and spriter too.  Eh?  Eh?! :D


I would be obliged to agree wholeheartedly with that assessment.

Too bad you haven't seen the rest of my sprites.  8)

UPDATES!!!

Here are the two, (almost) loopable themes...

- Dark Calasperan's theme ["Vortices and Flame"] - http://symphonic.herograw.com/Project%20Files/Vortices%20and%20Flame.mp3

- King Zeal's theme ["Cerulean Shadows"] - http://symphonic.herograw.com/Project%20Files/Cerulean%20Shadows.mp3

I edited the volumes as well and re-tested it...now you won't be scared to death when another song comes on.

As for Shadow_Dragon's question, I use the piano roll feature in FLStudio4 to lay out the notes, which I put in by ear.  I load the Edirol Orchestral VST in FLStudio4 and then select which instrument I want to utilize, and it's as easy as that. :)  The mechanics of the orchestra are really what take the most effort, not the music itself.

And as for Jake, I am FAAAAAAR from Mitsuda.  I don't want that label, plzkthx.  Concerning interviews, sounds like a plan.  Too bad I'm only a member of the Dream Team in regards to plot development, though. :D

What I meant by "in the style of Time's Scar or Chrono Trigger" is, the very dramatic, swelling, powerful, cinematic introductory piece...the kind that strikes a sense of heroism into the listener.  That's all.

As for a remix of the other two songs, I wasn't planning on it.  In fact, I think it would be very contradictory to the idea of a new game if the songs were simple rehashes of older pieces.  I like the idea of a new song, something intriguing and satisfying, introducing a new, intriguing, and satisfying game.  Makes sense to me.

Yeah, the whole chaotic thing will be used as well, in the sense that the song will switch moods rapidly to portray a journey, as you described.  But nothing TOO fancy. :)  I'm not THAT good at music.

I actually modeled the opening piano part after one of my all-time favorite games, Parasite Eve, which uses piano as its weapon of choice.  Also, I've switched between the song and a few others, and no...it doesn't seem soft at all.  In fact, it's a bit loud, which suits it.

I have a few updates...firstly, I'm going to divide the song into two separate songs and extend them both.  

1) The first one will be a low-tempo version of the first 36 seconds functioning as the theme of Dark Calasperan, and will be greatly enhanced to create the mood of dread.

2) The second one will be evil Zeal's main theme, and will segue into a battle-like theme that plays during your verbal/magical intercourses with him.

Additionally, I have at least three other songs planned:

3) another battle theme for normal (perhaps boss) battles;

4) the theme for normal Calasperan, similar in style to Corridors of Time; and

5) the main theme for Crimson Echoes, much like Time's Scar or Chrono Trigger.

That is all.  Commence anticipation. :):D

Thanks you guys.  :)  I'll be messing with it a bit later on so that it loops, and I'll also be attempting a few other themes for Crimson Echoes.  We'll see how they turn out as well.

In addition to the post above, I know we're unable to do custom music at this time, but in preparation for the time when it may indeed be possible...how about we work out some SNES-quality tunes for use in the game?  Like, for instance, some character themes and a new battle theme?  Perhaps the Chronopolis theme?

At least it would be cool.  Maybe.

Yeah, that sucks.  Because we could definitely work out some original tunes for the game.  

Anyway, w00t post 100!
