Pixel Mixers April Cover Contest Results

| pixelmixers

Hello people, it’s time for the review of April cover contest results !
The theme was “Villain Themes” and it was full of surprises.

Even if there was a bit less participants it was full of surprises like members making big collabs, people really trying new music style or some really original arrangements completely changing the mood from the original.

My last point was referring to the audio winner of this month, Orchestral Fantasy with his crazy salsa version of Kefka’s Theme from Final Fantasy VI.
At the 2nd and 3rd places we have the 2 leaders of the 2017 Pixel Mixers championship: Subversiveasset and PrjzCalavera.

About the video contest it’s a victory for Subversiveasset followed by PrjzCalavera and at the 3rd place we have a tie between the heavy SwigglesRP and the Epic Italian Team composed of Psamathes, Dacian Grada and Danilo Ciaffi.

PrjzCalavera keeps the lead at the 2017 audio championship, followed by Subversiveasset who took the 2nd place to Hashel (who didn’t enter this month). At the 4th place there is a tie between SwigglesRP and Dancian Grada, finally at the 5th place is this month’s winner: Orchestral Fantasy.

The May contest‘s theme is “Dance” so you can pick any VGM song you like as long as your arrangement make people want to dance =)

Ace Attorney – The Court Sessions [EP]

| pixelmixers

Hey VGM friends, I have the pleasure to introduce you our 1st EP (mini-album)!

EPs goal is to give some love to shorter soundtracks, less known games/series or just OST that we wouldn’t do as a big full album.
And to start we decided to make a tribute to the Ace Attorney Series and especially those 3 games: Phoenix Wright, Trials and Tribulations, Apollo Justice.

You can download our album for free by clicking on this picture =>

The Court SessionsOr directly with this link: http://bit.ly/2pj9g7E

This EP has 9 songs, arrangement and played by 12 musicians from the Pixel Mixers community and lasts a bit more than 25 minutes.

The original musics were composed by:
-Masakazu Sugimori (Phoenix Wright OST)
-Noriyuki Iwadare (Trials and Tribulations OST)
-Toshihiko Horiyama (Apollo Justice OST).

Ace Attorney (or Gyakuten Saiban in the original title) is a series of visual-novel games developed by Capcom. The games feature some investigations phases where you have to collect informations and find clues and then the trial phases where you have to find the contradictions in the testimony of the witnesses and use your logic to show the evidences at the right time.

This EP has a lot of musical variety and is the best representation of the Pixel Mixers Community in a nutshell. On this EP you’ll hear: orchestral music, smooth jazz, piano solo, blues, rock, metal, atmospheric folk or even dance music.

If you need a taste of it before downloading, here is the official trailer:
