OverClocked ReMix’s Unsung Heroes Tribute Just Released

Posted on by

 


Yesterday, OverClocked ReMix released their thirty-second official arrangement album in tribute to the unsung heroes of role-playing games throughout the years, many of which have great merit but have received less musical attention than bigger names and franchises. Appropriately titled Unsung Heroes, the album features many overlooked titles such as The 7th Saga, Ghouls’n Ghosts, The Lord of the Rings: Volume 1, Suikoden, and Persona 3. Unsung Heroes also showcases the talents of prominent artists who have been consistently featured on both OCRemix and ThaSauce, from the likes of DragonAvenger, OA, Rexy, Brandon Strader, Avaris, Scaredsim, Nutritious and much more.

Director Andrew “OA” Luers had much to say on the underrepresented themes that permeated much of the titles touched upon in Unsung Heroes:

We both agreed that while it is great to work with many well-known and often mixed themes – which are so loved for good reason – there should be no reason not to extend our hands into those games that have been overlooked for so long, but have genuinely beautiful themes as well. I’m proud of the work that these gentlemen and ladies have presented in this album, and hope that others will be able to appreciate the beauty of these tracks as well.

While you can get a small preview of the album above, Unsung Heroes is available for free download at http://unsung.ocremix.org. Have something to say about the album? Leave your feedback here.

MAGFest Recap: OverClocked ReMix Live @ MAGFest X

Posted on by


Even in the midst of exciting news such as website redesign and official project updates, OverClocked ReMix really knows how to go all out.  Between  these special highlights, stimulating workshops on the basics of making VGM remixes, and the crazy camaradie of the OverClocked After Dark show at MAGFest X, you would feel inclined to think that nothing could really top the usual excitement of OCRemix’s panels. However, we’d be doing OverClocked Remix a disservice if we didn’t talk about the OCR Live performances, which were absolutely off the hook this year. Just to give you a little taste of OCR Live, we’ve managed to include a brand new arrangement of Donkey Kong Country’s “Aquatic Ambiance” with live instrumentals  by OA, Level 99, DragonAvenger, and diotrans at the OverClocked ReMix Panel.
