Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country) in Mario Paint Composer

Well, since some other people have started uploading their secret santas, I might as well upload mine. xD Sorry if I was supposed to wait, but I really want to get something decent (that isn't an OC) out before 2011 ends.

But yeah, this was the song I made for the Mario Paint Hangout Secret Santa that I participated in. The person who I was supposed to make for was johnfreeman1337, which I was very excited about because he's probably one of the bigger DKC music fans in the hangout, along with me, Chris, and M7M3.

Anyway, I guess the backstory to this choice was that this was an unfinished song from several months ago. I had showed this to Chris (christeriousninja) then, and he absolutely loved it, but I told him this was just kind of an experiment and probably would never be finished.

So then secret santa came, and when I got JF, I guess this song was brought back from the dead. At first though, I was working on Unused Track 2 from the Flintstones video game (also low tempo), because around that same time, an amazing version of Aquatic Ambience was finished by RevolutionMPC.

If you haven't yet, check it out. It's definitely worth seeing:

However, I later just decided with finishing Aquatic Ambience since JF was a big DKC fan.

SO here it is, Aquatic Ambience at 975 tempo. This is gonna be one you either love, or hate I guess, since this was definitely tough to make it work at that slow of a speed. This goes in with my other Namisphinx inspired DKC works, Hot Head Bop and Forest Interlude.

Hope you guys like it.

6 dislikes? Wow.

Tbh I'm not entirely fond of either yours or Levus's version of this song, but that's because the strings hold out awfully on OSF :/. That, and pitch bends are impossible on MPC unfortunately.

@eataninja Well you're understanding about it at least. xD Yeah, the song isn't right for the OSF. Especially low tempo where you have even less of a chance to do all those things smoothly

6 dislikes? Really? REALLY!?

Also this is pretty great.

[Rusty8984]

@ChristeriousNinja Just imagine the amount of dislikes I'd get if I made a PIANO COMPOSITION! If you're getting them, I'd probably have at least 20.

@meldan100 I never could get AMS to work on my computer for some reason, so that one may never happen.

"This is gonna be one you either love, or hate I guess"

Wow, I wasn't kidding.

[JohnFreeman1337]

ahhhh i should have known it was you!! thanks so much for making this, it's one of my favorite DKC songs! one of the best songs of all time, really! hope you had a merry christmas :D

[herty140]

@RehdBlob See it's annoying because I originally came up with it >:l

[JillSandwich93]

Haters gonna' hate?

[meldan100]

@Rusty8984 Who said I meant you :P

No I don't mean myself.

It's the pitch bend in the opening that's a little rough, yeah, but the rest is your usual amazing. It's not to your discredit about the slide either, that's just impossible to execute perfectly. This is as good as it's going to get in MPC.
