ReMix:Flowstone Saga "When the Moon Shines" 4:49

Flowstone Saga releases today! The latest game from OCR alum zircon's studio Impact Gameworks features over 70 tracks composed by longtime ReMixer, former judge, and peri peri chicken enthusiast OceansAndrew. The game's OST is an instant classic, filled with catchy melodies and some great performances by familiar names. Go check it out on Steam!

To celebrate this, here's a remix by one of the few active artists who was around before zircon got here - Xaleph! And a few other avid collaborators as well =)

• Arranger: Xaleph
• Guitarist: ZackParrish
• Vocals/Lyrics: Audiomint
• Mastering: ZackParrish

Xaleph's initial concept is an interesting one:

"I wanted to have an acoustic psytrance song that used SFX from the game (provided by OceansAndrew) and was thankful that Zack re-recorded the acoustic parts I initially played (I'm not nearly as good!). I really had a lot of fun putting together this mix and I hope you can feel what fun I had through the energy in this mix! [...]

The vocals used ("The Climb"), I worked with OceansAndrew to make sure it's an approved rearranged version that still encompasses his vision for that motif. [...]

Also - I really wanted to support this game on release, I love the concept and I would love to see this succeed!"

Same, dude! Personally I loved the slick, driving beat alongside the acoustic elements. Judge Emunator reacted in a similar fashion:

"This is a slam dunk of an arrangement, it reminds me a lot of Pistolero by Juno Reactor with the fusion of western-style acoustic guitar and goa beats. It fits like a glove. Matt has mastered this genre and it's hard to find any significant fault in his execution. Having played Flowstone Saga a lot, I have an extra level of respect for what he did with this source!"

Fellow judge Chimpazilla agreed:

"Xaleph is amazingly talented, of course, and the guitar performances by Zack are excellent. The production of this track is pristine [...] I really enjoy the mixture of triplets and straight 4/4 throughout the piece. I adore psy triplets, they give me chills, always."

Not to finish without calling out the collaborative elements of this track - Zack's guitar absolutely sells the genre hybrid, and Audiomint's airy, lifting vocals really add a great layer to the first chorus section. Excellent work by some stellar musicians!
