Topic: Music Arrange Requests

[Dalles]

If it doesn't come across as too troubling, I'd like to request an arrangement of the following track:

Spell of Sorrow from Order of Ecclesia.

Expected quality level/instrument choice: similar to Lament of Innocence sounding style. Dynamics: same as in original track (will be used in a boss fight).

Thank you very much in advance.

You might need to talk to THIS person:

Castlevania Order Of Ecclesia - Spell Of Sorrow - Arranged Version 2.0

...but then again, if that doesn't pan out, I might want to take a crack at it myself.

[Dalles]

It's pretty damn good, but I'd still like to ask you to have a crack at it. At such an early stage of development I can't say which one will be chosen (since the character to be fought while this plays will be confronted three times, it might turn out that both versions will be included) so it's good to have options. Besides, it's never too many arrangements of a given track -- is there?

Good luck and thanks for this link.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Here's my version.

[Dalles]

It's damn decent, Jorge. Better than the previous one.

I myself have found this here version:

Castlevania Guitar Cover - Sorrow's Distortion [Albus battle]

And by far this has proven the best of all three, with yours having the solid second place. Maybe it's because of the deadly guitar & violin duo that this arrangement is so damn cool.

Still, waiting for what squaretex might come up with.

Since Im here, I can ask for this music with a melancholic, music-box tone? lol

[BMC_War Machine]

Are you still having takers for this one? lol.  I could do a mix for you and post if you like but it will be in the vein of the guitar version you have posted here.

[VladCT]

The guy asked for an LoI-styled arrangement, which differs quite a bit from your usual style. Then again, I don't think LoI's style would work for this track, since LoI's closer to techno while Sorrow's Distortion/Spell of Sorrow is more of a rock track. I personally liked Lacope0/Insomnia Lab's arrangement the best because I felt the violin added a touch of sadness to it, and the context is pretty tragic if you ask me.

[BMC_War Machine]

True, but then again the youtube vid above shows some heaviness in it so i figured what the hell lol 

[Lelygax]

BMC, you can do something with this music like they did in Richter VS Alucard "Divine/Oposing Bloodlines", if so I will gadly accept, I love that style and melancholic distortion that changes to action and all lol

[BMC_War Machine]

Definitely man!  I love doing CV mixes Im pretty keen on that stuff as well, i absolutely LOVED the CoD OST, particularly the messenger of darkness 2, friggin love that jam!  Also a close second would be Trevor's theme...kickassness! lmao

[Dalles]

BMC, if you'd like, have a go, be my guest.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. The way work has been this week, my impulse has been to "veg out" and be completely unproductive. 

But after seeing all the other contributions that have happened so far - to which I must say "" - I knew I better get to work!

So...after about three or four hours, I came up with this:

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia - Sorrow's Distortion (Squaretex arrange)

As you can see and hear, it's taking a different route from everything else. Since I first stumbled across that other arrangement I posted, the one concept I could not shake was how this tune would sound in a SOTN "Dracula's Castle" framework.

Is it what you need? I'm not really sure. Let's just say it's an experiment I really needed to try.

[VladCT]

I must say, while it's amazing in its own right, it sounds more like a stage remix rather than a boss theme.

I agree with VladCT, but this remix is impressive, you are very talented.
