ReMix: Metroid Prime 'Just a Little More (Prime Edit)'
And here you have it, the last mix for the night and our first from Metroid Prime. Mr. Ansari writes:
"Got a new remix I just finished, called "Just a Little More (Prime Edit)." The (Prime Edit) is there because I wrote an original piece called 'Just a Little More' that uses the same bassline and general instrumentation. It's a remix of the Phendrana music from Metroid Prime."
The Prime soundtrack is pretty freeform, and from what I can gather Shariq's fleshed it out a bit more and given it structure. Running harp lines, expansive choral work, a drum line that stays out of the way but does establish an undulating pulse, along with the bassline, that's like a heartbeat for the piano and synth lead. At six minutes, this isn't a mix that tries to fill that time with a variety of musical ideas - the length is used in the same way the source material uses it, to establish motifs and more of a "tone framework" and then color within those lines in an impressionist sort of thing (Metroid Monet? Clair de Samus?)... it's less the telling of a story and more the enveloping of a setting/atmosphere. It's not Shariq's most memorable piece, but it does create a smooth, transient vibe that takes the MP original and plants it on firmer ground, while still stretching out into spacious depths in an explorative, ambient, reaching vibration.
