Reaching the Red Star
« on: October 12, 2014, 04:01:28 PM »
The anthem of the Socialist Union of Blaist Blaland is finished, after half a year and 20 prototypes. :P
It is also one of our entries in the Univision 5 song contest.
More info:

The Blaist Communist Party proudly presents, a performance by The Red Star Orchestra

Here are some of the early prototypes:

Prototype 6

Prototype 11

Prototype 14

Soon I'll release versions with only the bass track, possibly a reversed version or whatever if anyone's interested. Hope you enjoy. :P

Thanks :P
The red/yellow/black flag is the flag of the Blaist Communist Party and was used during the revolution that founded the country, and the blue/green/cyan is the one that represents the country as such

How would you use it?
You should be welcome to as long as you give proper credit and link to the original but I'd like to know the details first, it depends on the context and such

Oh, well, it's a small communism joke. A sickle gets thrown into the air and the screen turns into the communist party emblem with that in the background for a couple of seconds. I wanted something like the style of Red Star, and this is the only track I know with it. Of course I'd link the original song and put you in special thanks credits.

That's ok, I can cut out a bit of it if you only want a special section if you tell me the time interval in the video or just upload it all.

I'll just download a small segment from ClipConvert.cc, but thanks anyway. Personally I prefer the first prototype. It sounds a bit more anthem-y and bouncy, unlike the others and the complete version, which just sound a bit "meeegghh"-y IMO.

Too bad you won't see this project done for another month or so. My free time is pretty segmented, so I don't have much time to do anything productive when I get the chance.

Cool.

So here's another version - the bass track only, sped up by 50% and with pitch raised.

Kol, that's pretty fun. Nice.



So if prototype 1 is the one you prefer, here's a full version based on it with the bass added

Omg this is beautiful thank you Bla ;-;

By the way I uploaded that remix to YouTube
Didn't upload the remix to the +bass version since it sounded hardly different.
