(Updated 5/10) Random Goldfish's Video Game Orchestrations

[random_goldfish]

See? Fallen didn't even need to listen to the song, and he already knows that it's awesome. Or good. Or whatever he said. 


*I know what he said.

Haha...well, I thank everyone for taking the time to look at any of my stuff.

[MetroidHunter26]

Thanks (and I couldn't have done it with out Jazz Band XD YES!) I love being lead.

Well, keep on going with it...this is my last year in jazz band because violin players can't get in at the college level...and I'm more happy in classical...not that I don't love jazz.

[random_goldfish]

@_@ We're getting way off topic, haha.

[MetroidHunter26]

Make more awsome Arrangements I would love to actually play one with my band!

[random_goldfish]

OK, I will here in the next few days. ^_^
I have some in mind that I want to do...full score of course...I need to get some other's off my old computer too.

[MetroidHunter26]

You think you can arrange the Super Mario Galaxy Staff Credits (ALOT to ask but hey why not give it a shot) but you think you can do it?

[random_goldfish]

Well, certainly I would if I had ever played the game! ^_^
(That isn't treasonous is it?)
I haven't had a chance to play the game yet...I could look up an MP3 and work off it I guess.

[Awasai]

whoa. just stumbled across this topic.
I have nothing analytical or smart-sounding to say, just that I wish I had had these arrangements throughout middle/high school during all the time I was in band/orchestra/jazzband/symphony orchestra/etc.
I always wanted to suggest playing video game arrangements in the ensembles, but I had neither the sheets, nor the balls.
Sigh.

Again, amazing work.

Thank you very much...Of course it would be fun to play to play some arrangements in school...I just never felt it was right to suggest it.

[MetroidHunter26]

I suggested to my teachers and they said and I quote "All right sure." Well that's because my Middle school teacher likes Video games (and is finaly going to be my new High school band teacher which makes me REALY excited for next year) and my other teacher just says all right cause she's open to ideas. But I just keep forgeting to print the parts for my Brawl arrangement. >______> when you REALLY think about it there really isn't time for them to actually let us play the songs because of preparation for concerts. and on a sadder note our concert band has the attention span of a 4 year-old and is as loud as a fricken banshee >_______<, (why me?)

This is awesome! Well the only one I listened to was Green Greens which is my favorite tune. It's overkill lol, but awesome still. Man I wish Brian was here so we'd have 2 best orchestrators working together. Maybe Sirus too, but he's more of a string orchestrator than a general orchestrator, but it's still 3 heads better than one at least!

If you guys do come together, than I'm really looking forward to the "big project" whatever that may be (hoping some kind of suite).

[random_goldfish]

Haha...well...I guess we can see how something of the sort could come about.

[MetroidHunter26]

Hey that's a cool Idea Vgmfreak! I'm only good with brass sections (or at least SECTIONS of music. Not realy great in the huge project arranging) but If you guys (and gal ) ever do want to arrange a awsome song SIGN ME IN!

[vgmfreak]

Awesome! Maybe we can have people be in charge of certain instruments that they specialize in. Like Sirus can oversee the strings, you can oversee the brass section to make sure it's all correct, and Brian and random_goldfish will be like the top overseer (sp?) in charge of the whole project. Maybe split up the suite into sections and by that each section will be assigned to the person in charge of it.

It goes something like this from top hierarchy to bottom hierarchy. 1. Master Orchestrator (in charge of overseeing the entire project), 2. Co-master orchestrator (2nd in command; in charge of overseeing that section of the project), 3. Instrumental specialists (in charge of making sure instruments are notated correctly based on their speciality), 4. lower class peasants I mean arrangers (those who have no experience in orchestrating, but just want to help out arranging). Not part of the hierarchy are the master orchestrator's advisors (in charge of double-checking the notation for errors; you must have very good ears and be able to pay attention to detail! Another plus is if you understand some orchestrating as well).

Now what suite shall we do? I'm gonna beg brian to help out so be patient guys!
