Title: ROC OST
Post by: Belmontoya on February 16, 2014, 08:31:32 PM

Hello friends!

I have been working on the new soundtrack for Rise of Castlevania (a fan CV reboot from Mig Perez and myself).

The game will feature a few remakes of past Castlevania songs. I intend to include remakes of some less popular songs that haven't been remade many times if at all.

I have already completed a remake of Belmont's Theme from LOS. And I am going to make a list of songs from other composers of the CV world to include.

All of these remakes will be made from the ground up, and tailored to fit the vibe of the game.

Does anyone have any requests?

i would suggest you to remake these:

- Trashard in the cave (castlevania x68000)
- Tower of gears (Castlevania Chronicles)
- Pressure (Castlevania lll)
- New Messiah (Belmont´s Revenge)

Those are good suggestions!

My top choice out of those would likely be Pressure or New Messiah. But I would lean towards Pressure. 

I forgot to mention that I'm also blending melodies from other songs from time to time, when it fits. I think it's a good way to get more Castlevania classic melodies into the game without overpopulating the score with remakes.

Another piece that I have been dying to remake is Message of Darkness from Simon's Quest.

That's the tune from the menu/password screens isn't it? Whenever I hear that tune I always drift back in time to when I first got into SQ. Real nostalgia there... :)

That's the song! It used to creep me out when I was a kid. I'm thinking of remaking it for the first scene with an undead enemy. Enthu is approached by a zombie at his porch. It's a short segue between level 1 and 2.

Sinking Sanctuary
Clockwork Mansion
The Cave theme from Castlevania 4

I was really happy with the pieces you contributed to Lecarde Chronicles, so I hope you have a great time working on the music for Mig's next project :)

Those are great suggestions. SCV4 is my favorite video game OST of all time. It will be incredibly difficult choosing 1 song from it!

As I said, ROC's OST is mostly original, and the few remakes will be very different from their past cv versions.

The cavern theme is a great idea. I haven't  written  my own melody for the cavern in ROC yet, so there is a vacancy there. Thanks!

I'm glad that you liked my work in CTLC. ROC's OST will not dissapoint you! : )
