Feelin' chill today, so posting a chill remix.
Caffeine Addict - Drunk as I like but it's "lofi" I guess
I'd describe this arrangement as "cute," and not just for the visuals either. The source material's tone lends itself to a silly interpretation, which blends into this genre to become quintessential chill. Overall, very pleasant to listen to. :)


Unrelated side notes:
Sunken Sorrow's soundtrack still hasn't been made available, either formally or informally, aside from some scattered Youtube videos. Yesterday Tasofro announced the release of the official soundtrack CD, but it looks like it's going to be one of those event exclusive things. I'm not sure how things will proceed from there.
At the end of the most recent remix tournament, I asked about hosting responsibilities. Whoever it is technically determines when the next tournament takes place. The question was unresolved, and given it's been about two-and-a-half months I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.

I'm certainly on the same page of not knowing who's doing it lol. The one I hosted was only the one before the most recent, so I still don't really want to go again. If no one else wants to, we could ask Jssf if he'll do the next one, seeing as he's the "normal" host.

As for the question of when... I'm personally not in a rush for the next one myself, seeing as we've done quite a number of these by now. The translation status of th17.5 is also a contributor to this feeling. But I agree that it is starting to feel like it could be time for one. If we were to start one right now, I'd ask that we exclude songs from Touhou 17.5; hopefully that doesn't get in the way of much, as I understand that that game didn't add many original songs, as is often the case with Tasofro spinoffs.

 
i'm perfectly fine with doing next tournament soon or sooner although i'd rather pass on hosting but as before if i won't respond there, on site busker has my discord, the question is how much people are going to participate iirc Jerome took a break or something like that

no idea about the Digital copy release for the OST.

 
Here's one I found recently, don't know if anyone else has seen this one (being that it was made earlier this year).

Understandable. I just wanted clarification concerning formalities. I figure we won't want to start one in the middle of the holiday season, so if no one else brings it up I'll wait till next year.

I've been exploring some new genres lately. Nothing too extreme, but enjoyable nonetheless.
ziki_7 - Riverside View
"Acid jazz," and coincidentally from ziki_7 of recent Sunken Sorrow fame!


Violet Delta - Mid-Autumn Snow
"Italo disco," with a kinda-sorta relevant title.


I'd like to have something relating to Thanksgiving, but I am no closer to determining a thematic genre than I was last year (beyond basic folk). But I'll post these anyway.
TAMUSIC - Droplet of Broken Moon ~ Autumn Feast
Relevant title? It doesn't seem to be implicated in the arrangement, though . . .


Luster - Scarlet Apples
Still not "harvest-themed," but better. Deceivingly simplistic, but balanced.

Back from an unplanned week off, having dived directly into the Christmas season. None of these arrangements are associated with the upcoming holiday, but I'm sure something will pop up before the year is up.
Arumi - Greenwich in the Sky
A fairly straightforward remix that nonetheless appeals to me in some way. Something about the uncommon yet clean sound I suppose.


The Nimon - Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye
Despite being from what appears to be a small-time artist (at least for now), this has quite a professional sound. It may go on a bit longer than I'd like, but it still deserves some recognition.


CLAWZ - Hidden Teahouse
Sampling still isn't something I appreciate very much, but it's easily tolerated when backed by a quality arrangement. This piece balances out nicely, and maintains the forward progression I'm always looking for in music.

It's late. I'm late.

Luckily, I had some pieces prepared.
maritumix - Resonance
I really appreciate maritumix's style, but I wish he wouldn't do Hartmann's Youkai Girl and Desire Drive so often.


Hooded Edge - Swords of Disorder ~ The Last Judgement
A "new" chiptune artist, in as much as I haven't come across them before. It sounds a bit like PC-98, but it's actually SNES apparently.


Viruzio - Touhou: Player Score
For such a simple motif, this is finely handled. I detect a degree of sentiment that lends itself to the arrangement's tone.

Yo, is that Patchouli Knowledge from Touhou Project? Making Touhou arranges?

Anyway, I'm not sure if this could be called "ZUN-style", but it certainly has ZUNpet in it.

I was hoping some circle or other would do a Christmas style Perpetual Snow remix, but it hasn't happened, so Imma settle for this.
Stas Gavrik - The Perpetual Snow of Komakusa Blossoms (Ambient Ver.)
I'm not really a fan of Gavrik's style, but I know others are, so . . .


This one labels itself as Christmas themed, and it does seem to carry elements thereof despite being primarily a straightforward metal piece.
RoundLoudness - To you who spend the frozen eternal Xmas
Thematically appropriate or not, it's a good arrangement (feels a bit short for its structure, though).


This last one is a reshare, because I can't find anything else as suitable for the occasion.
Lowlands Blossom - The Magical Tale of Marisa Kirismas
This remains my favorite LB remix, and potentially of the source piece itself.

Happy New Year to all! I seek to start the year off strong, so this is one of those especially good arrangements I've been keeping saved for a while.
fromadistance - Imperishable Night
One of those beautiful instrument blends that falls just outside of orchestral without becoming something else.


I hope anyone seeing this is doing alright. It's felt rather quiet here of late. God be with us all in these times.

True, I guess there's not much topic of conversation at the moment. I'll go and nag Jssf for another remix tournament. I think I'm going to stop doing monthly round-ups now as it takes more effort to make the posts than you'd think (and I didn't do one for last month anyway) but that doesn't mean I'm out of good arrangements to share!

Consider this a sort of mini-roundup for december. I've got a random assortment of genres this time.


Spoiler

SPEEEEEEEN YaboiMatoi - Dark Side of Fate




 
I almost posted this one closer to New Years, but figured I'd save it for later. This isn't that much later . . . Best to be careful this close to a tournament.
maritumix - Tomorrow Will Be Illuminated Again ?
A much calmer piece than expected, and doesn't at all feel like a four minute track. Very nice.

Saturday was busy, consider this makeup.

Also RT7 is active, so focusing on original works for now.
Consonances & Dissonances - Euphonious Phantom Act [1]
Why yes, this is an entire third of an album with cut-scenes. I haven't watched the video, but I have listened to the music, and I think the idea is novel enough to showcase here. I also can't remember if I've showcased the circle here before. Probably? Regardless, check them out if you haven't and are into Touhou original projects.

I had taken to collecting original pieces for usage during tournaments. But now I have more tracks than I could possibly need, so this week will be a quick offload of some more familiar names in recent times.
Eban (MiragEden[?]) - Foam Shadow's Flower Blooming in the Night Sky (Live Ver.) ~ Ephemeral Dream
Some obvious inspiration from Egoistic Flowers, but the motif is original. This is probably my favorite out of these three.


Aka Kyuketsuki - Undecided Fate of the Altered Strings ~ Idnis Mix
A "remastered" piece from the album Traces of Utopian Civilisation.


Miki Hiroyuki - The Hell's Supreme Monster ~ Behemoth's Blades
Nansei has always been a bit hit-or-miss for me, but this one's definitely a hit.


Also . . .
I don't remember hearing anything about this track, although I do recall two others in the past year or so. I guess he's starting to do one-off compositions more often? Provided they're publicized properly, I certainly have no complaints.

ZUN - Red Every Day ~ Folksy Touhou days.
