Yo. Some of you may know me as that musician who is sort of mediocre but tries really hard. Anyway, I made an EP recently. Go listen! maybe. (I wouldn't advise it) I'm really proud of it joking aside as it took a lot of time and effort, and it's got me back into composing in a big way (send me those messages modders.) also, I have a website (go there) https://www.c-v-t-s.com/

Hey HeavyZ! It's been a long time. Sorry that I'm late -- as usual. It's good to see you back!

Hey! Welcome to the community. Those screenshots you posted looked fantastic. And overall everything looked really interesting. Keep it up!

The Temple of Time (OST)

I used to maintain a messy desktop, I finally cleaned it. Here is the link - http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k594/James_Andrew_Harris/Desktop_zpsgremoh28.jpg

https://soundcloud.com/j-a-productions/gannons-tower-idea - Gannon's Tower. https://soundcloud.com/j-a-productions/temple-of-time-new-version - Temple of Time. Here are the two tracks that were mentioned above.

I finished a demo for Gannon's Tower and I finished a newer and more polished demo for the Temple of Time. EDIT- I completely changed this version of the ToT to sound like a unique version, it isn't the same as the original but I tried to get as close as possible while still maintaining a Zelda like feel. -

Yeah, there is a read me that is in the game folder.

Hello! Welcome to the community. It's a great place and I hope you enjoy it here.

Soundtrack idea: Divlock's Chasm - https://soundcloud.com/jamesandrewharrisgrant/divlocks-chasm-demo-1

Nothing Else - Archive. This is possibly one of my favourite songs at the moment. Or All is full of love - Bjork Probably my favourite at the moment, now that I think about it.

When will Nintendo release a Mario themed dating sim?

Wrote a new song for the mod. This song has been wrote based on the lore of the Sheikah, the soundtrack from Majora's Mask, and the emotions explored within OOT and MM. This has been wrote in 3/4 with various tempo changes.

I guess I will go next. My name is James Andrew Harris, I am 20 years old working to earn a degree in Performance and Events Production. I joined the site a month or so before May of 2013 to work on an upcoming mod, Voyager of Time. I have remained a part of this community as a composer, now I am working with Heavy Z and Sairugoth on their individual mods, composing is something that I greatly enjoy. Outside of the modding community, I am working on trying to find a place within a gaming company or a game as a composer, I also help run theater events as part of an admin team. Other than that I have a few beers on a Friday night and get involved in networking, social events as a whole, and whenever I go to my friends house for a movie night, just the ordinary stuff. I don't have anything more to say about myself. Now shameless self promotion.

I agree, creating a site wide mod is a fantastic idea . However I believe there needs to have another successful mod released before anything can happen. As Airikita said the best bet is to talk about URA. If talking about URA doesn't help there is the option of contacting people who have been interested or still remain interested in past projects offered by the site. I don't know how the new equipment will effect things, but it is important for the content to be on point. This is just my 2 cents worth, on the situation.

Instead of trying to re-create the Spirit Temple theme from Ocarina Of Time as I was intentionally wanting to do, I decided to go on with my own vision but still keep it in the realms of Zelda themed music. I really wanted a sad and heavy feel to this piece. This piece was heavily inspired by Egyptian and Middle-Eastern music. It was a challenge to make this version as the atmosphere could easily be ruined by wrong instrument choices, bad mixing, overpowering instruments.The only aspect from the original left in my piece was the feeling of desperation and that feeling of wanting to give up, or at least I think the piece reflects it in a very subtle way. https://soundcloud.com/jamesandrewharrisgrant/spirit-temple-ocarina-of-time-version

I wrote this piece slightly differently than usual, in terms of style and structure. It comes off strong because of the building and force of the strings if you catch my meaning. The song also is inspired by Russian classical music and some of my heritage, I wanted it to have a formidable and intimidating sound. Apart from it coming off a bit strong, I am glad you liked it.

Wrote a theme for the Stalagmite Cavern. I don't know how to describe this track. This is more orchestrated (albeit synthesized) than other pieces of music that I have made, for TSA. I am aware it does sound a little different to usual but I hope this doesn't put you off this piece. https://soundcloud.com/jamesandrewharrisgrant/stalagmite-cavern

I'm going into the studio today to fix some of the things wrong with the composition and the mixing. *EDIT - 21:10 09/01/2015* Today I went back into the project folder and changed what I didn't like and added a new E_piano in the chorus to differentiate between the two. I also changed the volumes of certain sections and instruments, one big change was the ending and the second was the volume of the synth lead just before the organ section. I also changed the break after the first chorus to become a verse, by changing the arrangement of the pads and guitar. Tomorrow, I am going to revise the early lyrics to see if there is anything I can change.

I wrote this song, and the lyrics that go with it. I am curious to what people think and interpret the song to be about. For the past year or so I've been working on a music recording project with a solo artist, where I make the music and she writes the lyrics and sings. This topic is being made purely out of interest. First: The song - https://soundcloud.com/jamesandrewharrisgrant/lux-astri-instrumental-demo-01 (Tomorrow I am going to polish it off, and tweak some things I don't like, please by all means share any constructive points about the mixing and the song overall.) Secondly the lyrics. - https://www.evernote.com/shard/s496/sh/1426ecd6-b624-415e-beee-d2ac66f7b44f/f1df4255df3af122 I would really like to encourage opinions on what you guys think the song is about.

I am perfectly happy to continue doing the music. I will however have to start fresh from the beginning, I have either lost half of the files or I no longer have access to them. I have so many new ideas for this mod and it shouldn't take me long to finish them, as I am working at a quickened pace now.

I meant to address this when you first asked, sorry for the delay Netsrac. I fixed the ending after re-working some of the instrumentation decisions in the version I have now the ending takes some time to decay bringing a nice finish to this piece. Also I have started on a demo for Gannon's tower and the Forest temple. For Gannon I wrote an organ piece for those interested, which will later be expanded upon, this piece is very much influenced by Oath to Order and hopefully that influence comes through. That being said, it will still feature my style and not be a carbon copy of OTO. Forest temple will be worked on next week, sometime. *EDIT - 5:55 AM 08/01/2015* @Netsrac I finished the new opening song - https://soundcloud.com/jamesandrewharrisgrant/opening-tsa-ver-2 Also here is the organ piece - https://soundcloud.com/jamesandrewharrisgrant/gann-org
