the first 60 seconds sounded much like electronic music from the 1960's and feels a bit too old for the 1980's C-64 era
Is the OL3 remix symbolising the "C64 dies"?
What are the other music you will remix? Only your own C-64 stuff?
The feeling I'm trying to create with the 1:50 ambiance is 'Electronic Wasteland Atmosphere' Just ambient noise that says 'Something still lingers here!!' Granted, the first 35 seconds or so
with the bell chiming suggests the death of something. From there to 1:50, I'm trying to achieve the feeling of 'Coming back to life'. More sounds, different electronic sounds,
(but musical at the same time). Build up, build up build up and Wham! into Ocean Loader 3(.1)
or in other words - The Tunes Live On although the machines may be dead! (A touch of the old 'energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it just moves to another form).
The Remix/Update uses Old and New sounds purposely - even the Lead voice, (I hope), sounds like SID but polished and modernised.
I'll be including my own favourites. So, Bombjack will be in there, probably Shadowfire and arcade-wise Nemesis/Gradius one of my all-time favourites. Probably some of my Amiga fave's too!
I suppose ultimately, the project will try to have just a simple message - 'This stuff hasn't died because history has judged some of it as worth keeping'.
It's all about the notes, where you put 'em, what you do with 'em and how long they last
