Arrangement Project (Pokemon Colosseum)

[Bubbles]

Ok. Agate Village Normal battle have already been arranged, but yours are different since theyre more than just piano. Since Shado is doing the Cipher Admin battle, all I need to convert is the Friendly Battle theme. When you're editing the mistakes, also change them to follow the format found here

You know, we could make the official thread switch to Pokemon Colosseum, if you would like. I can remake the front post. We shouldn't have a whole bunch of Arrangement Project threads.

[Bubbles]

Meaning that you're willing to oficially stop the Dragonquest one?

[Uraziel]

i have no idea what that means, but yes, i will fix the formatting... sorry about that.

I have now finished the Normal battle theme, take a look

Oh my god. I almost dont want to make that piano it sounds like the original

[Uraziel]

hahaha, thanks a lot xD, I had a lot more knowledge of this then and I am now just getting back into it. I just fixed the format on relic forest as well... agate village needs editing on the notes and the cipher team im just going to send to shado and let that disaster be his problem I will go deal with the friendly battle now

If we're going to start a new project, I think a poll with various options would be nice.

[Bubbles]

Thats why Im hesitant to move it to the stickied one. This isnt supposed to be a huge community project, its just a small group of people who want to finish a soundtrack that has been neglected

[Uraziel]

I personally believe that at least for now, it is far enough up on the page that if people care, they will take a look. Wow, now only three things left ive said im going to do... oh well, time to get to work!

The MIDI of this song on Vgmusic sounds alot like your arrangement, particularly the ending. The way the percussion is written out messily with 1 layer further suggests MIDI importation.

I can understand using a MIDI for reference if you're making a piano arrangement, but what is the point of importing an orchestral MIDI into Finale and calling it your arrangement?

(...if you didn't do any of this, I apologize for coming across harshly, but the evidence seems to indicate my assertion)

[Uraziel]

I did use the VG as reference (the ending and percussion mainly), however i can assure you that the rest of it is mine, I couldn't hear some of the chord structure from mp3's so I took a look at some other versions and settled on that one to base it off of, making the changes necessary to fix it, as well as editing in my own touch. I'm not the best arranger, I am much better at editing as I tend to find mistakes. As I am doing with the Agate Forest right now. I am right before when the strings come in, some of my own, some from already written midis, trying to come out with the best possible result.

[Bespinben]

Ah, ok then. That's understandable. It's just, when you're on a site dedicated to making piano transcriptions of Nintendo music, I can't help but raise an eyebrow at something like this, considering it won't ever go onto the main site. To me, it'd just feel like wasted time.

[Uraziel]

Thats where bubbles comes in, other than all of the other help they are providing to this, they are going to translate what I have written to the piano. I would do all of this myself, but I am a violist and I rarely write for piano because it doesnt turn out as good. again referencing agate village. I am using the original intruments...ish (substituting harmonica for violin) and then borrowing the percussion idea from the VG track, the rest will be mine. I am just at the midpoint.

[Uraziel]

Never mind, now taking out percussion because it is refusing to work  Sorry its taking so long, its acting funny and i basically wrote it and then had to re write it due to a system error so I am almost back to the middle.
