I assume there's nothing against using multiple song melodies?

[uzo]

I wouldn't think there would be.

Either way this one sounds really interesting. This may be a tough one.

[Chernabogue]

Done: Proof of Blood & Requiem for the Nameless Victims

J/K, they are old remixes I did. This theme is interesting, I need to try to find a good source.

@Drac9: Go for it! It's a free for all, after all~♪

I'm actually excited for this. hehehe.

[Chernabogue]

By romantic, what kind of genre are we aiming at? I started something but it sounds rather sad (instead of "romantic").

[Dracula9]

The genre where the music will make you want to smoosh various parts of your body against various parts of someone else's body.

Haha, well I should stop doing my "depression remix" and start another project lol

[Chernabogue]

Won't have any more time this month to do music, so here are my entries. Two different types of moods, depending on how well went your Valentine's Day.

- Proof of Blues: a happy/bluesy version of "proof of blood" from Circle of the Moon
- Sea of Tears: a nostlagic/sad take on "Wandering the Crystal Blue" from Order of Ecclesia

Please enjoy.

"Sea of Tears" totally would belong in a Lords of Shadow game, my goodness (take that as a compliment).
There's a little hint of "Ghostly Theatre" in there just before the piano riff at the end, since you have gone full Waltz.

[Dracula9]

Hot damn, Chern, excellent work.

[Chernabogue]

Thanks, guys. If only one track is to be taken in consideration for votes, it'll be "Sea of Tears". LoS had such a big influence on my recent orchestra work.

[Shiroi Koumori]

@Chern: 2 tracks are fine. Let the voters decide. hehehe.
If in any case both tracks win, then your medal would be the higher ranking one.

Goddamn and confound my work schedule as of late.

ONE DAY LEFT D9 YOU CAN DO THIS

Go for it, man, it'd be a shame not to have at least 2 participants.
