Welcome to the Golden Sun remix project!
This is the Project Outline thread where I will outline the premise of the project. The goal of this project is to create a remix album of both Golden Sun, and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
This is a lofty goal, and it may seem unreasonable to want to try and create a 4 Disc album to cover both games, but it just seems unfair to remix one game without doing the other since they are so closely intertwined.
The theme of the whole project revolves around the elements, and the journey that takes place in the games. For that reason tracks are being ordered based on how you encounter them in the game.
So for example Disc One will cover the songs you hear in the game from the Title Screen to reaching the Mercury Lighthouse. Disc 2 will cover music between Mercury Lighthouse to the Venus Lighthouse. So forth and so on.
As of right now there are a large amount of tracks. Over 90 unique tracks exist between both games. Some are long, others are relatively short. With that said it is important to try and cut back that count while trying to represent these songs through the entirety of the album.
With that said I wanted to ask that if you choose to do a medley, that you try and incorporate songs which fit together. For example combining Colloso Starts, with the Colloso Battle Theme makes sense. Or combining Elemental Stars with Alephs Eruption. As these songs are heard together. This creates a sort of sound journey recreation of the game.
The other goal of this album is to create a sound amongst all the songs which are epic. From instrumental, to orchestral, to driving rock. These are some of the sounds we are looking for. Although there is room for more sounds and are more the flexible if you have something else in mind. Simply show what you have and from there we can even work it into the project as a whole.
This is simply a thread to help give members and musicians an idea of what the end product will be, and how I'm hoping to represent and tribute to Golden Sun.
In either case I'm flexible and more then open to alternative ideas. This is just to serve as a starting point.
Additionally I hope to eventually get this remix project to become an official OCR project. There are many reasons it should be, and it's my hope that when enough is in place that they will be interested in putting their support in as well.
Namely, Golden Sun is one of the most under remixed games out there, with one of the most wonderful and varied soundtracks ever, and soon the Golden Sun name will be in the spotlight again with the soon to be released Golden Sun DS. If ever there was a time for a Golden Sun remix album, now is the time.
