Descent I + II - The Vintage Dreams Mix
Album - Owner: Alieo - 40 items
A SynthFont Project using the "Vintage Dreams Waves v2.sf2" sound font. I took an opposite approach from previous past projects to when I made the original MIDIs try to sound more like real orchestral instruments. This time, using the Vintage Dreams Waves sound font, I try to return that vintage feel to the old MIDIs/OPL3s with this high quality synth-heavy sound font. It was challenging on some percussion-heavy songs because there aren't many percussion instruments to choose from.

And the banks were all screwed up; none of these songs were a straight translation to this sound font--I had to select the instruments by hand for each MIDI track because the bank to the Vintage Dreams Waves sound font wasn't numbered correctly. For example, a square in the original MIDI would've translated to some annoying off-key bell--so everything had to be reassigned by ear and by hand.

Also, MOST of the MIDIs that were shorter, under the 3:30 mark, got extended, but in a way that made it sound like the song had an extra verse. Game10 is no longer the longest song, now Game15 is. And for Game20, which was really short, I extended it from the beginning and gave it a lead-in progressing intro.

I hope you like my interpretation!

This was what I originally game up with for Game02 and was going to scrap this version in favor of the one I currently have posted for Lunar SciLab because the one I made for Lunar SciLab as it stands is most like the D1 Shareware version that I grew up and first associated with Level 2, but I knew I didn't want to throw this version away because I liked this one as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong about the title to Level 21. It's been awhile. I wasn't sure if it was "Oberon Iron Mine" or "Oberon Iron Ore Mine".  :-\

Went back and redid the arrangements for Game01-Game05 for Levels 23-27. I'll also do a third mix of Game02-Game04 as #s 28-30 for Secret Levels 1-3 so we'll have an even 30 arrangements for all the Descent 1 Levels.

This one gives a nod to the OPL3 and Redbook versions. I didn't extend this one as it was long enough at 3:57.

"Plateau" because it plateaus... and then reaches a new plateau... and another... and before you know it, it's 6'50" later!

And that concludes all of the Vintage Dreams project I've been putting off for five years now. I'd like to make a new variation of each world (a Quartzon mix, Brimspark, Limefrost spiral) for each of the 4 songs, but I've been very busy lately. Got my CDL 3 years ago and drive trucks now, got engaged two years ago, and lost my father last year. Lots of changes. I simply don't have time to devote to Descent related stuff lately. I still pop Descent music on every now and then, of course. Y'all be good! Hopefully I get the D2 files done before 2030?
17. Strategy (Game17 Vintage Dreams Remix) November 27, 2015, 01:25:33 PM 157 1
Music from Descent 1, Level 17: Tethys H2O Mine
Original Track: "Game17" by Ken Allen, Brian Luzietti, Larry Peacock, Leslie Spitzer, Jim Torres, Tim Wiles

I never typically cared for Game17, but I loved how this one turned out and actually like Game17 now.
20. Horizon (Game20 Vintage Dreams Remix) December 04, 2015, 02:14:57 AM 154
Music from Descent 1, Level 20: Oberon Mine
Original Track: "Game20" by Ken Allen, Brian Luzietti, Larry Peacock, Leslie Spitzer, Jim Torres, Tim Wiles
Rearranged By: Texace12

Levitation (Game08) had a custom outro; Horizon (Game20) has a custom intro. It's intended to give a feeling about approaching an unknown horizon in the distance, then things coming into view.
14. Ouija (Game14 Vintage Dreams Remix) November 23, 2015, 11:40:48 AM 144
Music from Descent 1, Level 14: Europa CO2 Mine
Original Track: "Game14" by Ken Allen, Brian Luzietti, Larry Peacock, Leslie Spitzer, Jim Torres, Tim Wiles
Rearranged By: Texace12

Don't play with Ouija Boards, or else Game14 may occur. Length unedited. Straight re-instrumentation.
02. Sabotage (Game02 Vintage Dreams Remix) November 18, 2015, 02:02:57 PM 138
Music from Descent 1, Level 2: Lunar SciLab
Original Track: "Game02" by Ken Allen, Brian Luzietti, Larry Peacock, Leslie Spitzer, Jim Torres, Tim Wiles

This one was modeled after the D1 demo version of Level 2.
