25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

SONG ID HELP:

A fan's trying to locate an old Kirby remix/arrangement of some kind. Their description doesn't sound like any old OC ReMix we know of. Maybe it was on Newgrounds?

Little help???

[6:25 PM] Deadeyedave: I am looking for a track im pretty sure is OC remix but cannot find online

I think it's between 10 and 15 years old, about a minute long and just an elongated version of the kirby death jingle with a man wailing Kirby periodically

Check all my playlists, the ocremix youtube and website and cant find it anywhere
[6:25 PM] Rockos: Might have been removed. Check with Liontamer I guess?
[6:33 PM] Liontamer: That definitely doesn't sound like anything we ever had
[6:33 PM] Liontamer: Maybe it was on Newgrounds?

I think a secret to aging gracefully (or at least "gracefully") is to think back on the simple restrictions that meant everything to you as a kid, but are laughable now.

It's petty, but when I hear the school bell ring next door I think "Have fun with math, kids, I'm gonna play Nintendo."

Now this was a fun one: got to work again with @catsonmars.bsky.social, milkyPRISM, and Command Creative on a little series for Duolingo, with @parkersimmons.bsky.social and Titmouse Canada at the helm. A+++, would wabing again

Parker Simmons @parkersimmons.bsky.social · 3d

Got to direct this with an amazing team at Titmouse Canada. Everyone gave their all to create a sincere pastiche of the anime they grew up with. Even the composers couldn't resist a little End of Eva reference in the teaser music here:

COMING SOON: Duolingo’s first anime series!

1. The only style comparison I can tangentially think of for “Sayo-nara” is Parasite Eve, for the halting vocals.
:-D
2. WAY more VGM arrangements for the folder (please enjoy!) :-)

I probably meant the song “Golden Hill”, but yeah, that whole album’s also worth a listen. Will have to check out Darklife, thanks for putting it on my radar. :-) -L

Hey hey, appreciate the mention! Cool piece too! The chorus vocals really remind me of a treated style of Jon Titterington (aka JJT) from The Roof Beam Carpenters. His vocals kind of feel like a cousin of these when he gets going in “The Well”. :-)

You’re welcome! Such a cool pieced history, hearing Mick’s take on the themes well before he ended up being responsible for next-gen Doom. :-)

Did you see what he’s working on next?
