Summoning of Spirits (Tales Remix Project) - Rexy's Track Breakdown

Okay, so my YT channel could do with a bit of an update, and what an update this is!

This morning saw the release of OverClocked Remix's 13th collaboration project - "Summoning of Spirits", covering music from Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia. It had been in the works for about 3 years, and let me say it now - the wait has been worth it :D

Getting out there to spread the word, I take the time in this video to talk about my four contributions for this thing. The funny thing was that all of these tracks were made before I got to play the games themselves (lol), and the later tracks on the project were completed sooner. But still, I felt content bringing up my feelings for these tracks and I hope they all go down well.

Once you've seen it, make a visit to http://tales.ocremix.org and check out the music! On that note, I would say a brief thank you to everyone who saw it, and enjoy the album :)

[Side note: The tracks used to open and end the video segment are LuiZa and CarboHydroM's "Strike of the Devil's Axes" (covering Fatalise) and Hale-Bopp's "Beyond Absentminded" (covering Be Absentminded) respectively. Just in case anyone wants to know.]

what's a pwajekt ?

i can't tell if that's a lisp or you've been spending too many hours on ventrilo with americans. seriously though you have no talent, you get out of breath while speaking and your remixing shit music. check out secret of mana if you want some nice rpg music. but whyyyyy would you bother

[freqrexy]

Let me break that down one by one, you ungreatful bastard. -_-

1 - I have Asperger's Syndrome. So if my accent sounds stupid, you now know why. I'm NOT letting that get to me.

2 - Being BRITISH, I've had to learn to do Americanised speech for the Youtube masses. I know it's silly, but it has to be done.

3 - If you think I have no talent, how come I got onto OCRemix twice? That's MY skill as a remixer - BEAT THAT.

[freqrexy]

4 - The Tales series has GREAT music - great melodies, better-than-average drum programming, and it sticks into your mind a lot better than most contemporary RPGs.

5 - Yes, I've actually PLAYED Secret of Mana AND remixed a few tracks from that. But the Tales series is still a lot better to me musically.

Now that that's answered, I just want you to fuck off. :)

Wow, Rexy! I just stumbled upon this purely by accident. What a great way to present your thoughts and insight on your tracks! I've listened to Gentry so many times I feel pretty stupid for not noticing all the cameos... though might Final Act be one of them? Regardless of my apparent inability to recognize music I've been working with for four years, thanks for your contribution.

[freqrexy]

Hi Lea!

Nah, Final Act wasn't involved, though I SHOULD have done after almost attempting it whilst failing to notice Tepid and PriZm already did theirs :P

But hey, thanks for the visit and again for co-running the project :)

[clynsvin123]

ive never played any of these games :O

[freqrexy]

Well...

1) You ought to try 'em, they're two of the more exciting RPGs out there, and:

2) This isn't really a game discussion video - focus on the topic at hand :)

[flamevtx]

Very nicely made. Thanks for this.

[21Arlon]

Agreed, Summoning of Spirits is something to have pride over. Great job there! I have already downloaded the album and will be listening to it very shortly.

Having played both games well and through, I hope to enjoy these arrangements/remixes as much as I enjoyed hearing what you have contributed to the project. Thank you. :)

Nice. Always nice to hear what the remixer thinks of his or her own works.

The world needs more 5/4.
