"Taucer: arrangement, production, live performance of guitars and irish whistle.
Usa: arrangement of percussion, bass, and piano, as well as a few very helpful ideas and suggestions along the way. Usa also supplied the patches used for the fiddle and the vox synth.
...I borrowed a lot of ideas from Mitsuda's "My Village is Number One" from the Xenogears OST, as that was very close to the feel I was aiming for. I would also like to say that it was absolutely awesome working with Usa. His percussion tracks were especially brilliant, and this mix would not have been anywhere near as good without his help. I definitely consider this to be my best work so far."
...and I'd agree. I actually heard a version of this (not sure if it was the final or not) at the DC meetup several months ago, and knew it would be great. The acoustic elements add an authentic folksy, Celtic vibe, the 6/8 signature works beautifully, and the two ReMixers' respective performances jive well. There's quite a varied instrumentation, including fiddle, irish whistle, xylophone, acoustic guitar, bass, bagpipes, and a broad assortment of percussion. The samples used are exquisite, also, letting the acoustic performances blend seamlessly with the sequenced. At 2'20", this is a short piece, and doesn't go off on any number of tangential solos I'm sure either artist would have had no problem improvising, which shows a good deal of restraint. The Mitsuda influence is blatant - he's one of the only game composers that I'm aware of working with folksier motifs fairly often, and taking that style and applying it to Kirby has yielded a brief but memorable and transporting track; I attended a regional Celtic festival a few years back, and this literally would have fit right in. Jeremy's a multitalented guy who can juggle, do gymnastic-type stuffs, and somehow make a large, blonde afro work on a small white head, but what's more impressive is that he's improving his craft, collaborating with a variety of other artists, and bringing a deeper (and wider) acoustic presence to the ReMixing world. In this collaboration with Usa, he's illustrated this, and anyone into Kirby or Celtic/acoustic folk instrumentals is in for quite a treat.

Taucer's gotta pretty laid back style. Might have to do a collab when time makes sense.

Great performances with the whistle and guitars, and the
sequenced elements are really nice as well. I definitely get a
classic Mitsuda vibe from this, and it really works, the B
section melody just rolls along, and the song is almost too
short, but it's infinitely replayable. Wonderful work, I love it.

Not only did I just make this into my new ringtone, but I also just learned how to play it on that Smule Ocarina app!

This is short but oh-so-sweet, we definitely don't get this brand
of ethnic vibe on OCR very often. Nice job keeping things fresh
all the way through by changing up the instrumentation, this is a
really killer mix dudes

The part of me that is Irish will always allow this ReMix to hold a special place in my heart. Seriously, good job on the Celtic vibe of this piece. The bagpipes, whistle, everything was just outstanding! It doesn't hurt with it being a happy go lucky tune. Well done.

I can agree with and respect going for the Celtic vibe, and as such, it does it's job very well. This is really well done, and I can imagine this being played at some Renaissance fair actually. It's a really interesting listen; dynamics, tempo, and instrumentation change frequently. Also there is a lot of ethic flair that I don't hear daily contributing to the uniqueness to this mix. All in all, this is a very well done mix.

Initially I thought this was a mix from Chrono Trigger's Millenial Fair, so I had to double check the song title. Love the Irish Whistle lead to start things off. Nice, laid back feel to the entire song; very relaxing. Leads later trade off to bagpipes, piano and violin - of which I think the violin is most effective. Not much else to say, it's a solid song, if by the numbers, and is a nice, relaxing listen.

I love this song even though it is short. The guitars and whistle are some what of a good combination in this mix. Great stuff!

In addition to being Norwegian, I also have a good deal of Irish
and Welsh heritage in me. As such, I have a natural inclination
toward Celtic music or pieces with a Celtic influence, which I
can definitely hear in your mix. It seems a little short, but I
still like it.
