 607, I've been trying to politely round up the last few people for a couple of months. Looks like we're missing cello, violin, hand drum, and possibly two vocalists who expressed interest. I was hoping we'd get done by the end of June, but "summer" seems to be more realistic. The next project will have harder deadlines, now that we know more about what we're doing.
The mix is nice on the first couple listens, but I'll have more things to say after I have the chance to set it on loop for a while.
And as always, thanks to everyone who contributed such great performances and other efforts to help make this idea work.  |

The soundfile of the progress so far sounds cool. Like it! Curious to hear the final result. So @the ones who still havent commited their recordings, please do it. It's such a cool thing!
For the video I have uploaded an image (placeholder) of my SST-me.

Hey all!
Just wanted to thank everyone who contributed, supported or watched from afar. It's been a blast and I hope you all had fun!
As the time nears the end for the current project, it's time to look to the future and time for your suggestions for the next track!
Suggest what you like and something that would be well suited for the orchestra and once we have a list of contenders we'll refine it and do a poll. Anyone can make a suggestion and new players and instruments are always welcome!

This will maybe sound like an odd suggestion coming from me, but I think there's something that could be done with the soundtrack of "Amélie".
Check out each version of "La Valse d'Amélie" on the album. There's an accordion version, a piano version, a string quartet version, and an orchestra version. We would just need to make some sort of hybrid from all of them. There's room to play around.
Otherwise I'm always down for something from Final Fantasy  |

In line with SIN's suggestion of the different versions of Amelie, how about Shen Fa from http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com/modules.php?name=Album&asin=B000058ABB
There are at least four versions to show different arrangements/instruments and it is a recognizable tune without being one of the "classics" that everyone expects to be played the same way every time.

Yeah, what that guy said!
A lot of the contributors to this project who hadn't performed in a while were worried about not sounding good, yet here we have this really neat product where everyone's contribution makes the whole thing work. Good arranging and mixing helps, too.
As for ideas for the next piece... gonna have to think about it a little more. Most of my very favorites are from anime and video games, which I know isn't everyone's bag.

I know of this film, but have never seen it. The melody of that piece is a little familiar, though. Fortunately, we have an accordionist in the wings.

Not familiar with that one. I sought out and listened to a few versions, and it's alright. I'll do it if it's voted in! |

Or if you want something that everyone knows and is more uptempo, how about the Mission: Impossible theme? That has also been redone in so many ways by now that there would be plenty of scope for orchestrating it to accommodate voices and any instruments people wanted to include

I like all of the suggestions. I think Misson: Impossible might be a bit too cliché. La valse d'Amélie is not (Comptine d'un autre été: l'après-midi would be  ). I didn't know Shen Fa, but it actually sounds quite suitable to me. |

I'm still missing about 10 performer pictures. Have the standing out performers been contacted? |

This may fit with an idea I had. If there are multiple themes we like over a genre, we could combine them in an arrangement. It might be hard to keep it shorter in length, but if enough people contributed, it may not be such an issue. Listeners might enjoy trying to identify each theme that comes up.
Anyway, a spy movie theme could be fun. Trains are kind of our thing here, yeah?

I'd just as soon use Red XIII, but not sure of the legality for this purpose. I'll have brainpower to devote to this when my final grades are submitted this week.
Re: outstanding parts: they have been contacted several times and some have responded definitively. Those who have not, we must assume are no longer interested in this round, and SIN will finish the mix after Viola completes the string section. Though it would be nice to know what's going on for sure, they're quite welcome to commit to the next project if they like! |

It's no problem as far as I'm concerned. For the people who don't have a photo including their instrument (which is everyone except me so far?) I will edit some picture of the instrument in so you can see roughly who's playing what. |

Well, I still have only four pictures, so I haven't started editing yet... I mean, it's impossible to edit a video if there is no footage to edit. |
