ReMix:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past "Dancing Leaves" 2:39

From a beautiful piano piece to an absurdly impressive debut piano piece, wow! The production of this particular piano ReMix is higher than most I've heard, and the melody is close to that line of being liberal and yet identifiable at the same time, which makes this a classic for me. I'm not a fan of the fading ending, which normally doesn't bother me, but this one I had to note. I heard what was intended, it just wasn't my favorite part of the mix. Other than that, great stuff indeed!

Wow, my third remix review post ever as I don't do it often, but this piece is is just wow. It has a timeless sound to it, and it is so warm and quaint. I think you'll go places...

For what it's worth, I never had much of a problem picking out the source in this one.

Very interesting and enjoyable arrangement, though I do agree with the posters who mentioned that the ending is a little too abrupt.

I love the expression. The big fast arpeggios are really fun to listen to!

I love the dynamics and their variety throughout the piece. It makes me think of Romantic Era music.

The performance isn't 100% perfect, but that adds to the realism in my opinion.

Everything just works to make this piece come alive.

My only complaint. Too short! I want more!

This is pretty unique as far as piano pieces go on OCR. I really like the recording quality a lot compared to a lot of others I hear for the piano. The arrangement also stands out for remaining in the higher octaves for the most part. It has a sense of mystery to it that I like. The performance isn't without flaws, but this is a pretty good job.

I'm really loving the creative way the sources are utilized here, and the harmonies are just so lush and beautiful... a fantastic piece of work here, like everything else you do.

Yes its rather liberal but I have no trouble making the connections to the sources here. My biggest gripe here is the cut off ending. It just stops dead, sounds very unnatural. Thats the nitpick of nitpicks tho.

I'd love to collab with you sometime

This is really great work! I think the source is present enough. Even parts that don't have it specifically, allude to it just fine. The development was a little more in-depth than a lot of remixes, but that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. You did a great job! Excellent playing, too! Please, please keep it up.

My first casual listen cast a negative impression on me because I couldn't detect the source tunes at all. Then, I reprogrammed my mind to look out for it the 2nd time around...and that's when I realized the brilliance of this piano mix. This is definitely not one of those tunes which flashes the source in your face. Not only is the playing fluid, but it's such a creative way to present the Lost Woods track. It's like when someone states something, but you didn't get it. So then he/she starts explaining it to you.

Great stuff. Looking forward to more.

Absolutely stunning! Magnificent, so Debussy!

I'm not familiar with the source track, but I can tell this is an impressive piece on the compositional and technical side.

Congradulations!

LOVE bebop jazz in particular. I tinker (and fail) from time to time. It's the whole improv thing. But we still need to find something to collab on.

You lay a sick harmonic pattern and I'll splat some crazy sax lines over the top.

Imma PM you about this.

Also, just for kicks, here's a comparison of volume levels across three piano recordings I have, two of them being professional recordings:

So, volume-wise, I think my mix falls safely within the norm for even professional piano recordings, even though other aspects of the production are sub-professional.

Holy gecko! Impressionistic and impressive, such a Debussy's debut.

The mix is meant to conjure up images of being lost in an eerie, enchanted forest. Around every turn there are leaves fluttering in the distance, constantly moving behind a pall of bluish mist, playing tricks on your eyes and ears. If you listen carefully, they almost seem to be laughing at you...

I love this type of art in music, with stories behind the melodies. May I say, in this song they're pretty much disturbing somehow, coz they don't just pass through the ears. It's such an intimidating, eerie mood, I'd most probably compare it to something like its backstory.

I love 3 it, dude! Even though it scares me sometimes

I'm still as blown away by this as I was the first time. And I stand by what I said, that I like this more than a lot of "actual" impressionistic music I've heard. Amazing work, doc, congrats on making it onto the site! (though it was a "when" more so than an "if" haha)

Have had this on my iPod ever since the WIP forums.

This is incredible! Amazing arrangement. Keep up the great work. My favorite OCReMix in a very long time!
