  Director''s and Artists'' Comments

  Super Metroid: Relics of the Chozo

  Comments from album director Ari Asulin (Protricity) & ReMixers

  Album freely available at https://smproject.ocremix.org

  Relics of the Chozo is a project aimed at producing a collective and collaborative
  interpretation of the soundtrack of Super Metroid. However, each individual piece,
  despite being a unique standalone work of its own, is also a part of a larger scheme
  arranged to create an ambiance of continuity; one large song, if you will. The project
  could be thought of in terms of a progression of events/sentiments/stages of every
  relevant theme from Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo.

  Thanks to everyone involved who made it possible. Thanks to Super Metroid for being
  so friggin'' kickass.

  That''s about it! Enjoy the show!

  - Ari Asulin (Protricity)

  01. Protricity - "Premonition of Fell Purpose"

  Source: "Opening (Destroyed Science Academy Research Station)"

  Composers: Hirokazu Tanaka, Minako Hamano

  Protricity (original): The introductory track in this album sets the forboding mood
  through ominous sounds and progressive rhythms.

  02. Vig - "So It Begins..."

  Source: "Theme of Super Metroid"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  03. Suzumebachi, Protricity - "Hostile Abduction"

  Source: "Big Boss Confrontation BGM (Ridley, Draygon)"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  Protricity (original): A hostile interpretation of Ridley''s escape from the space
  platform is realized through harsh industrial beats and dangerous leads in this
  fast-paced collaboration.

  Suzumebachi (20th anniversary): I started it, made some cheesy industrial stuff,
  but eventually got stuck. Protricity took my unfinished mess of a WIP and fleshed
  it out by adding layers and did some editing/chopping/stretching, then added some
  pretty rad entire new sections and stuff, fleshing the whole thing out even more
  into a complete track. Prot did the heavy lifting pretty much. I don''t think I
  really knew what I was doing, LOL.

  04. Protricity - "Putting Down on Zebes"

  Source: "Planet Zebes - Crateria Arrival"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  Protricity (original): As Samus lands on Zebes for the second time, the perilous
  ambiance surrounds her in this slow-moving, yet spacial track as she proceeds from
  the weather-beaten surface into the boding caves of Crateria.

  05. Protricity - "Evil Aroused"

  Source: "Crateria - Space Pirates Appear"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  Protricity (original): Within the cool, capricious caves of Crateria, Samus''s lone
  movement goes not unwatched. The presence of evil is everywhere in this unsettling
  song. The ominous voices and steady rhythms push Samus towards the inevitable terror
  awaiting.

  06. Protricity - "Full of Life"

  Source: "Brinstar - Plant Overgrowth Area"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  Protricity (original): Entering Brinstar again, the sharp contrast is evident. Life
  is bustling here. Plants and roots explore all paths and creatures regard Samus
  with ill motives. This song represents an active Brinstar with a fast beat and constant
  changes.

  07. Jason Covenant - "Unsettling Nature"

  Source: "Small Boss Confrontation BGM (Spore-Spawn, Botsoon)"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  Protricity (original): Not all nature is peaceful. There is indeed an unsettling
  nature to this particular of nature. Jason describes this jerky malicious creature
  in this bunglesome and fast paced track.

  08. Danny Baranowsky, Protricity - "Traversing the Beyond"

  Source: "Space Warrior - Samus Aran''s Theme"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  Protricity (original): Back on the surface, the weather has calmed. Samus traverses
  the moist expanse of terrain on the surface of Crateria. A very open track; Danny
  describes the account of Samus''s exploration with distant brass and triumphant
  rhythms.

  09. Protricity - "Vast Inner Depths of Brinstar"

  Source: "Brinstar - Red Soil Wetland Area"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  10. Protricity - "Sudden Death"

  Source: "Big Boss Confrontation BGM (Kraid, Crocomire, Phantoon)"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  11. Protricity - "A Change and a Passing"

  Sources: "Mysterious Statue Chamber", "Tourian"

  Composers: Kenji Yamamoto, Minako Hamano

  12. Children of the Monkey Machine - "Metal Fatigue"

  Source: "Wrecked Ship"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  13. Avien - "Noumenon"

  Source: "Maridia - Rocky Underground Water Area"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  14. Protricity - "Ebb Tide Manifest"

  Source: "Maridia - Quicksand Underground Water Area"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  15. Children of the Monkey Machine - "Pyroclastica"

  Source: "Norfair - Scorching Lava Area"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  16. ella guro - "Braving the Flames"

  Source: "Norfair - Ancient Ruins Area"

  Composer: Kenji Yamamoto

  ella guro (original): This is the remix I did for the Super Metroid collaboration
  project of the "Norfair 2" theme. It''s kind of a different take... the remixes
  I''ve heard of this theme are generally slower-paced and build up gradually while
  keeping the same tempo, like the original. This mix, however, is all over the place.
  After trying and failing to mix this tune a couple of times before, by fiddling
  with some knobs in Reason, I came up with that extremely jarring distorted noise
  you hear at the beginning. It pretty much took off from there.

  Before I forget, thanks to Protricity for doing the tempo changes from my original
  version and adding the choir... which I wasn''t overly fond of to begin with (I''m
  not a fan of using synth choirs), but it does add some atmosphere that''s greatly
  appreciated.

  There really isn''t much else to say... some have really liked it, others haven''t.
  I''m convinced that this is one mix that people will love/hate just depending on
  personal preferences. Still, I hope everyone enjoys it to some extent. The mix took
  a lot of work to do, but it was also quite fun.

  17. Protricity feat. zykO - "Perceived by Cold Intelligence"

  Source: "Mother Brain"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  zykO (20th anniversary): Protricity and I had talked about collaborating on a track
  long before he approached me for Relics of the Chozo, but, when he did for "Mother
  Brain", it was... well, a no-brainer. Protricity arranged the track almost entirely
  including several of the main guitar parts (with a synth guitar that sounded so
  cool we decided to keep and utilize it throughout the tune in creative and unorthodox
  ways), but gave me (if not outright encouraged) free rein on the leads and some
  of the, uh, weirder phrasings. In fact, I think that was one of our chief goals
  with the track, not trying so much to produce a "rock song" than something that
  was atypical and moody. This was the result.

  18. Protricity - "Escaping Retribution"

  Source: "Escape"

  Composer: Minako Hamano

  19. Danny Baranowsky - "The Galaxy Is at Peace..."

  Sources: "Ending," "Samus Aran Appearance Fanfare"

  Composers: Minako Hamano, Hirokazu Tanaka, Kenji Yamamoto

  Danny Baranowsky (20th anniversary): This piece was a big one for me. This was back
  when I still had my sights set on a film music career. While my career deviated
  slightly from that path, OC ReMix projects were a great motivator to get something
  I was proud of out in front of a lot of listeners. While the production, composition,
  and arrangement hasn''t aged particularly gracefully (at least, in my biased ears),
  I can hear bits of understanding of how to piece an orchestral arrangment together,
  and it''s wild to think about this being 20 years old. I don''t think 2003 would
  ever have guessed that it would have led to where I am now.

  Danny Baranowsky (original): This composition is one that I am most proud of at
  this time in my musical development. This is what I consider my best orchestral
  work to date. It''s a highly interpretive film score rendition of "Ending" from
  Super Metroid. Created with Reason 2.5.

  It is the final piece in a great collaboration organized by Protricity. I hope you
  enjoy it!'
