ReMix: Chrono Cross 'Dream Shore Sonata-Fantasy'

Now THAT was some baseball. Call them what you will - Evil Empire, the best baseball team money can buy, etc. - I've been a Yankees fan for the last four years or so, and even in their losses, they've provided some great, memorable moments for the sport. My sister's fiance is a diehard Boston fan, so you can image the fun family friction :) But I digress - Michael Contraveos' latest solo piano arrangement from Chrono Cross is a very dramatic, emotive, and reconstructive ReMix, with a crystal clear piano that survives the scrutiny of sustained lower tones quite well, considering their extensive usage here. This seems a bit more pensive and impressionistic than MC's other arrangements, but no less effective for it. Judge Israfel writes: "MC sets the standard for how to sequence piano in my opinion. Those who think that you need a live performance to capture the "human" element in piano works need to seriously check out MC's music. Nice arrangement and some of the best sequencing you're ever going to find." to which Digital Coma follows-up: "Perhaps it takes someone who can play piano to sequence piano? I wouldn't have even known this wasn't live. This is good work; I'm happy to see MC's recording has improved considerably since his last solo submissions. A somewhat concise arrangement as far as thematic piano goes, but develops greatly within its time frame." - very exploratory, meandering but never losing focus or becoming self-indulgent. I'd tend to agree with Coma here - it's hard to imagine sequencing piano this well without being able to play comparably. Thus, while it's several ballparks (forgive the expression ^^) out of my league, I can certainly still appreciate it. Recommended.
