Hey guys,

The version I posted IS complete ... as in, it has all the notes. The changes I'm going to make only involves dynamics and the smoothing out of a few passages.

I did make another version recently with a slightly different solo and with a few parts that I thought I was smoothing out at the time, but didn't sound very good to my ear.

Also, glad to hear that some people are enjoying the sheets ... Majora's Mask is full of all kinds of musical gems.

I put most of the basics of the Windfish arrangement in this file: http://www.warehouse17.com/79-gameover.mus

There's really not much more to it than that - just lots of repeats of those phrases.

Hey HugoMeister - I started on the "Ballad of the Windfish" one - no ETA at this time though

It probably sounds different from Brian's because when I did the first half, I didn't have his on me so I started from scratch. I also didn't have a copy of Nothing Set in Stone on me so I did it from memory ... for that reason, the area that I call the "solo" ended up differently than it was recorded. I don't know whether to leave the new improv in, or go back and notate it exactly the way it was originally recorded.

I'm also not sure if I should go back and add in tempo marks. It may sound smoother just playing it through with all the same tempo, even though that's not how I recorded it.

I think we're probably going to end up with a couple different versions =) Which is totally ok! Music is something that is very personal, and if you ask me, each pianist that attempts it should add their own little touches to it and make it their own. If you want trills and tempo marks - go for it! It'll sound great. If someone likes the new solo and wants to play it with a steady tempo, go for it, that'll sound great too. If someone wants to change the chord to eminor, and the f chord to a c chord, go for it ... it'll sound pretty good.

I've got a preliminary version of Nothing Set in Stone for you to download and play around with today. I'm just calling it version 0.2 right now because there's still a few things that I have to smooth out!

Enjoy ... and remember, it's just a rough version =)

Hard to say! I'm hoping to get some time on Sunday and might be able to cap it off then. If not then sometime during the next week isn't out of the question.

I'll see what I get done Sunday and post on Monday instead of today.

A little farther ... I fixed/added a few things also.

I'm about halfway done ... I may post my progress so far on Friday if I don't have any more done.

Oh yeah - for that guy who requested some of my music, here's a version of Brinstar I did for someone else on this board: http://www.warehouse17.com/brinstar.mp3

A hole in the back of your pants? You just "opened yourself up" to all kinds of jokes and innuendo, now =D

Hey Pearcinator,

Just watched the video ... good job on the performance!

And BTW, I don't know what's up with the comments about your pants - I like 'em =D

By the way ... does anyone have any remix or sheet music requests?

Hey B-KPianist - How far along are you on the Star Festival song? I was messing around for a few minutes this morning and figured it out kinda by accident - I'd be happy to make a sheet if you'd like ... I could get it done within a day or two. Just let me know.

Pearcinator,

I'm flattered that you chose Nothing Set in Stone and excited that you played it well for your exam. I'm sure you'll get a great score!

PianoMasta,

Your Z2 remix turned out pretty well! The instruments sounded good, the arrangement had a nice mix of tension and release, dynamics were good, and stereo work was good. Keep it up!
