<cross-posted from the SMC forums>

Hey folks,

Please visit http://smc.sq7.org for a big revolution at SMC.

The webpage is a new design, designed by a close friend of mine, Stephane Mainil (a.k.a. Bountice), and there's 2 new soundtracks for download- the Legend of Kyrandia and the Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe official soundtrack CD.

Please check out the new SMC today! It's been a long time coming, but I'm very proud to finally announce it.

Don't really have more words than that- very proud and emotional, and also, very tired (just been taking the US in-laws around a wildlife park in extreme Australian heat).

Regards,
- Alistair

Cool!  I'll definitely be downloading the enhanced LOK1 soundtrack tomorrow.  (It's tempting to start now, but I really must sleep, and I know myself better than to think I'd stop with just the first track...)

Kudos,

I love the new design. And I especially like how you've got the different MIDI modules listed and checked there. Nice!

Hey Alistair, I'm listening to "Outside Brandon's Home," and I'm pretty impressed with your work so far!  Like Tom said, I like how you state what devices you used for each individual song.  One question - when can we expect some original works from you?  With four synths at your disposal, you have no excuse!!!   Grin

Yep, most requested music on the site. Smiley

Nice to finally reward the immense patience of the game music community.

Thanks man.

Yeah, I noticed that one myself. I told my webmaster.
Hey, it works now! Great.

Thanks B. I can't take credit for that one, that was courtesy of my new webmaster Bountice.
I like it too though.


Thanks Tom for his comment as well. He definitely helped me get over the line (helped keep me going over the last 12 months).

Thanks. I do have an excuse though, and it's this- I'm no composer. Much like someone who can copy or reproduce a Van Gogh, and maybe refine it a bit, I can do that with MIDI files- and even digital audio to some (minor) extent- but I can't add in new bits, really, and certainly not compose.

That's why I'm always asking for folks to help out and add new tracks into the more tedious loops and such.

That said, I think Tom and I do a pretty good job of 'faking it' as far as enhancing the music goes, if you know what I mean- making them sound like there's new things going on, but really we're doing basic stuff, for us.


And Brandon, it's not the size (or quantity in this case), it's the way you use it. Wink

Big Bug,

Thanks a bunch! Means a lot to me.

Given I worked on about 3 tracks a night (the nights I worked on it), and worked for a good 2 hours plus, each track pretty much got an hour's work, some even more. That's a lot of work!


Speaking of my webmaster, Bountice- he's from France (well, Belgium, but married a French girl). Aren't you French?

Regards, and thanks everyone!

He was replying to me I think and my post about wanting that many modules. My name is Brandon.

You know I'm french, you sent me two games, remember ? Wink

By the way, I just contacted Bountice because he's looking for help for the game "Vohaul's Mines" - there are only two guys left in the team... He's just replied, and he told me where he lives : the same place I have lived in for about 18 years, where I come back frequently to see my family. Amazing  Shocked I think we'll meet soon.

By the by, I did get a chance to listen through the new LOK1 soundtrack.  Just wanted to say my compliments to you, Alistair: this is a very tastefully done enhancement.  Did you tell Frank Klepacki about it?  (I seem to recall that you corresponded in the past.)

Yeah, I finally got a chance to listen to it last night. Wink

Thanks man. I have to say, I'm very happy with my work- for the first time ever, as far as an entire CD or soundtrack goes.

Yeah, Frank knows. He'll be sending me an email soon, but he's pretty busy- as one might imagine. Can't believe the number of projects that guy's done!



Thanks Rhizome/Electrolyte Smiley (Why the name change? Smiley ) Appreciated.

Para- well, I ship to a lot of international people Smiley

Also, I know full well about Vohaul's Mines (I run the SpaceQuest.Net forum with Bountice), and am very glad you're interested in helping. It looks a promising project. Good on you.

Lost total interest in "Electrolyte", and started to hate it  Sad
