Music?, Got deleted with the timewarp :/

Hey. I'd like to get involved in this project, if it's not too late. My primary strengths are aesthetic direction, difficulty balance, and chabudai gaeshi. But right now, I've got a MIDI file for y'all.

cfp_overture.mid
(Windows Media Player recommended; for some reason, QuickTime uses POWER Set Drum instead of STANDARD Set)

I had originally planned to donate this to Zero Kirby for use in his "Incredibly Weird Detective Joe" game. However, I've not seen any progress been made on that front, so instead I'm going to offer it to the nice folks at the CFP.

This file is a tiny sampler of the stuff I've been writing. I've abbreviated a lot of the melodies (1) because I haven't finished writing them yet, (2) to keep the filesize down, and (3) because I haven't finished writing them yet. Instruments are subject to change as well.

0:00 - 1:09 Ground Theme (Mario Bros)
1:09 - 1:17 Ground Theme (Original)
1:17 - 1:29 Obstacle Course (Mario Bros)
1:29 - 1:49 Underground Theme (Mario Bros)
1:49 - 2:06 Starman Remix (Mario Bros)
2:06 - 2:30 Boss Theme (Mario Bros)
2:30 - 2:42 World Map (Mario Bros)
2:42 - 2:51 World Map (Wario Bros)
2:51 - 3:30 Ground Theme (Wario Bros)
3:30 - 4:12 Night Theme (Wario Bros)
4:12 - 4:25 Starman Remix (Wario Bros)
4:25 - 4:46 Boss Theme (Wario Bros)
4:16 - 5:14 Final Boss Theme (Bowser)
5:14 - 5:43 Temple (Coin Room)
5:43 - 6:15 Underground (Coin Room)
6:15 - 6:37 Deep Space (Coin Room)
6:37 - 6:58 Cold and Far Away (Coin Room)
6:58 - 7:25 Temple 2 (Temple)
7:25 - 7:59 Extra Boss Theme (Temple)
7:59 - 9:05 Ground Theme (Mario Bros / KY Style)

Dude, thats freakin amazing. I love those boss themes.

It is amazing! As for using it in the CFP, I'm not too sure though. I think we were shooting for mainly original works, rather than already written music.

I'm not sure whether to laugh that off or take great offense. The only tracks in that overture that have appeared in another game to date are as follows:

1:09 - 1:17 Ground Theme (Original)
1:49 - 2:06 Starman Remix (Mario Bros)

Sorry dude, I though I heard other familiar themes in there. That or I either a) thought some were remixes of a bass line (or something other than main melodies) or b) assumed they were from the vast array of Mario games I've yet to play. You did use some familiar notes in other portions of the song, even if they weren't the focus of the song. If anything, you can be pleased that your music was good enough to have me assuming it was from an official game.

So, sorry you got the wrong idea. I'm not trying to run the show here; just giving my input.

And it would be cool if you could separate some of the melodies and build on them so they could be used in the CFP.
