If you embrace the darkness... You might enjoy it.
I remembered something recently... A conversation I had with Shano a few years back. I was bored and in a musical mood and began playing random things on the piano (which is an instrument I hadn't touched in years, since mine had gotten stolen when I was younger). He listened to it and I believe he said he and his mates laughed at it (yeah he also said they were drunk, so probably anything was funny to 'em, but I don't think it was THAT bad). I played a few FF things, mostly from FF6 (I learned the title theme on the piano when I was younger, but I don't think I did that great on it the last time I played it).

Anyway that aside (I was mostly just trying to remind him of it in case he had forgotten lol), I had also mentioned to him that I thought it would be a great idea if everyone here on the forums who was able to play an instrument picked one and he remix it into a song (honestly I don't think that he thought I was serious)... If everyone agreed on one FF8 song to play, or other FF, or hell even KH or Chrono Trigger, a game from the Mana series, just some good RPG that Nobuo Uematsu had his hand in. I think it would be a fun idea to each play an instrument and play a song all together in our own style. Granted, we'd have to have ONE person play it first, and we'd have to base our pace around their tempo, but I believe we could still play in our own styles even doing this.

I'm sure I'll be using either a bass or a guitar (acoustic or electric, depending on the song), and I am guessing Shano will use a piano (then again with a keyboard you have a lot of options).

What do you guys think? I know everyone is busy, but this isn't hellishly impossible.

LOL dude I think I remember this...had some mates or a mate over and you sent me some tunes! no way I was not laughing at you I was enjoying your creation :) we were really happy! I get so giddy when I drink! When i listen to my fav' tunes whilst under the influence sometimes its better than sex! which reminds me i miss coming on here when the place was active after the RSL. twas' a good cap to the night :P
Anyway I digress..

Good idea. I can also help on the engineering side of things and assist in making this possible. Working out how to record and mix the overdubs with each added instrument. Throw in some ideas and I'll see if I can make it happen!

Cheers! :)

Fact of the matter is, we'd each have to agree on what instruments to use, and what song to play. That.... could be a problem. Plus I know not everyone can be in this if they don't play instruments, which can be an issue, too. :/

Touch me and ill cut ur hand off with a rusty butter knife
The last instrument I played was my bass guitar that was taken by my ex. Found out it was broken a couple of years later -_-.

I havent mastered any instrument unfortunately. So I can only offer my voice. I did about 3 years of choral ensemble. So yes, I feel like I can sing decently. High Soprano, but i'd need a while to warm my voice back up like I use to have it.

That would make songs with lyrics the highest valued option... Or someone could write lyrics to go with one of the songs. D: Still we'd have to choose a song...

I like the idea, but I dont know if many people on here know how to play an instrument... I've personally forgotten everything I learned to play a little on. Unfortunate.



Well, I use to know how to play "To Zanarkand" on the guitar fairly well....maybe I could relearn it?

Wow Mental, thats pretty cool. You should do some recordings. I would make something chillingly awesome with a backing soprano.

I find this amusing... Since a FFX-2 song popped into my head a few minutes ago, and I was considering it for a possibility... And my mind started suddenly coming up with lyric possibilities, but I'm tired, so they're not gonna stick. I'm surprised I'm able to think of anything right now, so this was entirely random. Took a few minutes to find the song, too...



But yeah... To Zanarkand might work. O_O Though I suddenly feel surprised that you play guitar. -facedesk- I thought you played piano... Ugh... Maybe it's the tiredness I dunno...

I can play a few very basic things on piano. I did once know how to play the Final Fantasy Prelude theme that is in many of the games. It's fairly easy to pick up, just got to get the rhythm.

I really wanted to learn the prelude once. D:

This is the song I was talking about above (the one I sent to Shane a few years back):



I only knew like the first minute and 10 seconds of it, though. XD I couldn't find an instrument on the keyboard (over 150 and still not the right one? x_x) that at least SOUNDED like it, and I tried and tried again and finally found one. Bleh.

I could try learning the prelude but I'm fairly rusty with the piano now. D: It comes natural to me but all the same... :/ I pretty much forgot how to read music when I hit middle school and I never had time to learn again so I pretty much forced myself (well I'm sure the talent was already there somewhere) to learn everything by ear. Over the years things came easier and easier.

I'm honestly more addicted to the guitar than anything else. XD You said you used to know how to play To Zanarkand fairly well? o: Did you play chords or did you go more complex with it and just start finger-picking? XD
