Hey all!

Did you think we’d screw you on a week’s worth of updates? Nahh. This Friday, a NEW OoT Song, The Legend of Hyrule!

~Fire

Wow, guys, its been quite the year. Went through some awesome times, and some horrible times. Through it all, you all have been some amazing fans, and I love you all. As promised, we have a new song, Staff Credits Redux from Wind Waker. Some who have had early screenings of this song have said it may be the best Redux so far.

BUT WAIT! That’s not all! To ring in the new year, I am officially announcing that there will be random SOUNDSCAPE tracks now. That’s right, new Soundscape songs will be released as singluar songs, and no need to wait for an entire album. That said, we are also releasing the first non-album Soundscape track, Staff Credits Redux Soundscape, from Wind Waker. I hope you enjoy.

Also, we have added NEW CONTENT to the site, the Archives Section! We have gone through some unbelievable lengths to find scans and copies of the oldest Z.R.E.O. material. Here you will find information and images about the oldest of the Z.R.E.O. Sites and projects. As we find more content, this section will be continuously updated. We hope you enjoy.

Lastly, if you haven’t visited the Chat Room yet, please do! We are always eager to hear from the fans. Also, on more official business, we are looking for Chat Server Mods and idlers. Apply within, or e-mail me.

Thanks for making this year amazing, and we’ll see you in 2008!

No update this Friday guys.

WHAT!?

Don’t worry. This Tuesday, which happens to be X-mas., is also the First Anniversary of Z.R.E.O.’s Rebirth!!!! To commemorate this special occasion, we will have a special Tuesday/Holiday update.

That said, ALL THIS WEEKEND, starting IMMEDIATELY, we’re throwing a little party in the ZREO Chatroom. Click above on the “Chat” button to view details. ALL are welcomed. I really hope to see the regulars there as well as new people.

Hey all!

…Damn, long title. Anyway, this week, we’ve got Mayor’s House; Counsel Room Redux from Majora’s Mask! Hope you all enjoy!

On a side note, I’ve made a change to the definition of a “Redux”. Reduxes will now no longer be strictly remakes of the previous versions to make the quality better, but totally different takes on the song - for variety. The big plus side to this change is that once we complete an Album, say OoT, The Album may be complete, but Reduxes may still continue.

Thanks, and take care!

Hey ZREO fans, a while back I mentioned I was doing a radio show for a station up here in Washington state. It so happens to be a university station where I attend school. Today’s show is my last for the semester. I have lots of new music to share and a great ending song! Please listen if you have the time!

MoZ’s 8-Bit Mix, today starting at 10am - Noon (Pacific Time).

You can listen to a live stream here.

Hey all! This Friday we’re releasing Midna’s Suite for Twilight Princess! This suite contains both Midna’s Theme and Midna’s Desperation. As songs by themselves, they rather lacked. A friend of mine gave me the good idea to combine them somehow, so thus we have todays release. Enjoy!

It’s been a while since any CD Art has been added to the site. Well, after a long drought in the art department, I have finally added the new project’s CD Art! I made this one close to a year ago, when Fire and I were in the initial stages of the Open Symphony project. I hope you like it. I took a simplistic approach and, as you can see, focused more on the symphonic deliciousness of the project, rather than the Zelda aspect. I hope you like it.

As for the Phantom Hourglass art, yes I am working on it. I am having trouble trying to make it not look similar to The Wind Waker’s CD art. I have a few ideas in mind, but I would like to note that I am one of those unfortunate souls that have not yet played Phantom Hourglass. I would like to at least play it a little before I finalize a concept for it. You won’t be seeing any Phantom Hourglass art until January 2008.

Happy Holidays!!

Big day today! Today we are releasing the first movement of Open Symphony. Open Symphony is a full-fledged symphonic work for full orchestra with music that spans the entire Zelda collective works. Why “OPEN” Symphony? “Open” is an allusion to the Open Source software movement. In general, open source refers to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit[1]. Like Open Source, we are releasing not only the final product (the songs), but were also releasing the source code to them (the sheet music). The sheet music is free to download, and features the full score, and individual’s parts. You are free to download and use as you like! If you plan to perform this work or any part of it, we request permission, mainly just to let us know that our work is being appreciated.

We are releasing the Symphony as sections, or Movements. New sections will be released in order at the end of each month until the symphony is complete. Stay tuned and enjoy!

That said, we are also welcoming a new transcriber to the team, Mathazzar! Give him a warm welcome everyone - he’s the man behind Open Symphony!!

Sorry guys, due to the holidays and that it landed on a Thursday, and that I’m in DC again, I haven’t been able to do a song this week. DON’T KILL ME!

In other news, a situation has opened up where we may be starting another side project, but the good thing is that it shan’t interfere with the current ones. More details as the weekend follows. I think you’ll all like this one.

EDIT: Now on TeamSpeak: 70.15.42.73:8767.

Howdy all!

Finally, a real update, and something a bunch of you have been looking forward too. Overworld from Adventures of Link!!

On a side note, it’s official: FFREO is not going to happen any time soon, but isn’t a gone idea. Battlescapes front, we’ve received two more donations! Keep ‘em coming!
