Possibly. It's been a while since I've had to recall the specifics.

Thanks darkmanx for coordinating with donoffrio for the lovely award sprites. 

This is exciting, I hope a lot of people will join.

If anyone has special requests for music to be remixed, please post them. It may inspire participants!

[Dracula9]

It's not a request, but I may as well post it in case it can get the gears turning.

I'm planning on doing a reworking of SCVIV's Forest of Monsters, with infusions of (assuming I can work them in effectively) Mad Forest, The Caves, and Forest of Jigramunt. The idea is to shy away from the more-typical heavy and super-fast-paced (meaning specifically the themes like Into the Dark Night) boss themes of the series, and go with something more percussion-heavy (ALL OF THE CONGAS) and tribal-sounding.

Assuming of course I can pull it off and it doesn't come out a total trainwreck. Here's hoping.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Nice concept. Very catchy and definitely word keep me alert in a boss fight.

When I read (ALL OF THE CONGAS), suddenly Blanka's theme entered my mind. 

[Dracula9]

Damn, you've seen through my clever ruse. I must resort to my contingency plan...

MUGSY! GET THE GENERIC VAMPIRE KILLER MASHUP IN HERE!

[Shiroi Koumori]

Ahahahahahaha!
Don't worry, I like Blanka's theme.

Im thinking about making "Stalker" from CV1 into a boss theme...ah, I can hear the organs and guitars now  another cool thought I just had would be,to make it even more interesting would be to allow multiple composers, sure the awards would be a little odd for something like that, but imagine how good a few of us teaming up for tunes could make something?

[Dracula9]

First pass at my entry. Still a long way from finished, but you get the idea.

That could be an idea for a future contest. Be sure to bring that up when petitions for the next contest theme arise.

oh definitely,  I was just thinking out loud. Had to put it on here while it was fresh in my mind, ive got the mind of a 6 year old with ADD so that was partially for reference hahaha

I was going to do some fast and badass version of The Caves Oh well, I'll have to think some other song. I was thinking of Theme of Simon too, but I think I'll try something less obvious.

I'll just have to finish a Final Fantasy III medley... and the 17 minute CV cover from November... and 4 of my original songs... during December. So I'll definitely take part in this if I have time!

[Dracula9]

Feel free to, Zannibal. The part of that song featuring The Caves is brief, and uses a liquid-esque arp, so it's not very in-your-face noticeable.

[Lelygax]

Now this could be badass. I REALLY hope someone picks Simon's Theme, cause I've wanted to hear a battle version of that for YEARS.

That is EXACTLY what I had in mind when I suggested this "transform a music in a boss theme" thing.

[Chernabogue]

I'm so fucking doing "The Merchant" from HoD.
