Suggestions for new collaborative projects

another idea: writting a mass (a requiem for example), so every participant will choose one part.

Ugh. Why are we sticking to such traditional frameworks again?

The collaborative piece thing hasn't worked well in the past, I don't see why we'd keep beating a dead horse. The variations idea has the potential to work well, so I'd keep that one in mind.

On my own side of things, I'd like to suggest a few more projects to be undertaken by the enterprising incidentalists of the forum. We now have the Final Fantasy I piano solo arrangement project going on, and that's going to turn out wonderfully, but I'd like to see some similar projects for other, less well known games with good music.

Here are a few suggestions of my own:

-Golden Sun (and its sequel)
-Banjo Kazooie (sequel too)
-CASTLEVANIA (we really do need to get some decent arrangements of some of these themes...perhaps even from a more recent entry in the series like Dawn of Sorrow - excellent music.)
-the Fire Emblem series
-any Kirby game, but especially Nightmare in Dreamland
-Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, or Partners in Time
-Mega Man!
-Pokemon series
-Rayman series

Anyhow, you get the point. I'll add more.

If anything, Golden Sun or Fire Emblem, playing Epharim's path now !

I would go for Castlevania.

Variations dammit!

I was thinking what about using the melody of Jerusalem?

Ok Marius, you with your games and me with my mass, dedicated to te Latin American victims of dictatorships we had here. I'm not even christian, nor traditionalist, I just want a new look for a mass. But just don't know, you all seem to be throwing ideas without a real wish, just to fill out this thread. I hope I'm wrong.

No, you're right; we're basically just filling up this thread. Putting together ideas and discussing their validity. It's called brainstorming, you should try it.

The mass would be a good idea, but considering how personal your motivation is, I doubt it's a project that would really lend itself to collaborative work.

This is not about going solo, it is teamplay ma-man.

I want to take some Zelda music and arrange it for band, something like the Final fantasy thing going on, except for band.

It doesn't have to be a mass with those reasons necessarily, I just proved you how urgent a mass can be in relation to music for games. Open your eyes to the third world!
