It's been a little while... But don't you worry. I have big plans for Chrono Trigger's 30th anniversary. After all... 30 years deserves 30 hours of music, don't you think?
Singing Mountain. The unused track. It truly is beautiful.
Making a game has given me new perspective. If i sent you my unused songs, would you find them so beautiful and worthy of replacing existing songs?
...I'm not sure. A lot of my unused tracks are just... messier drafts of existing ones, rather than fully-cut material.
Here's some previews of my own game's OST, in case you're interested.
You also get some lovely art of the main girls.
Like Chrono Trigger, this game has a cast from different origins and places across space, that come together to fight a greater threat, tethered to a romance & a science-y childhood friend. Not unlike Crono, Marle, & Lucca, but also very different in irreconcilable ways.

Besides... I've been making quite a lot of progress elsewhere.
My life outside this channel is very different than the life within.
I couldn't blame you for not knowing that in real life, within the shell of the eldritch one-eyed tick who awakens from slumber occasionally every few months to post a video, I'm a woman working 9 hours a day on that horror game!
Maybe it's like irl-me is the Queen Zeal to Lavos... maybe this is why Zeal Palace is my favorite song.
I want you to picture the irl-me as Queen Zeal with a biological Lavos-computer that I upload things to from inside the Lavos Shell. Good? Good. Because that's what I am. And Lavos is the vessel which gives me strength and power.
But I do try to translate the kind of themes and experiences not just from the games, but from the environment this channel has created, into the game I am working on.
I have also been replaying Chrono Trigger, as I tend to do every six months or so. 30 years old... wowie.... the dream of Zeal truly never fades.
What does this channel have in store for this year? Quite a lot of Chrono Trigger content, probably Deltarune when those new chapters come out..... And... of course... my own game. I do hope you will enjoy the compositions I made for that.
When I make these edits, I use the same processes I use for mastering my own music and apply them to the existing tracks. So there is a consistency in sound between these and my own work... And of course, I use lots of instruments from Chrono Trigger because I'm awesome and I can.
Letting me make a game gives me too much power.
I'm managing, day by day, but I'm happy. And I hope to post more song edits, more playlists, and also, to show you more of what I'm making in the future.
Maybe if I have a chance, I'll throw in some completely new playlists from media I haven't even touched yet. Or give some old friends new love. We'll see. I'd like to do another Utena playlist too.
Enjoy :)

This album (and its associated artwork) can be downloaded for FREE at
https://chronology.ocremix.org/
Check it out!
Chronology is the album that got me into jazz. It expanded my taste in remixes and music as a whole greatly. Every single track is one I can come back to time and time again. I appreciate this album highlighting some more underrated tracks like Ruined World and Sealed Door by separating each track by the era of the game they are associated with. These talented performers really cooked up something special with this album, and I am very excited for whatever they produce next.
This is a quality over quantity album, and I appreciate that. Its a little more approachable than the official jazz arrange, The Brink of Time, however I enjoy both of them greatly. Picking between them would be like picking a favorite child!
0:00 - Way Before the Day Before Yesterday
Original Tracks: Lavos Theme, Burn! Bobonga!, Rhythm of Wind, Sky, and Earth
While the original Burn Bobonga felt like the aggressive excitement of a caveman party, this feels more like the subdued but still punchy tunes that youd hear at a city bar during the night. This is such a great introduction to the album, and I really like how this takes elements from a multitude of tracks and mixes them into one fluid piece.
4:48 - Triggernometry
Original Track: Chrono Trigger
This is the only track not remixed by the OC Jazz Collective, and is instead remixed by the Triplepoint Trio. I chose to feature the album cover instead of the art on the site for this one, because I feel like this is the Main Theme of the album, like how Chrono Trigger is the games main theme. I really like how this changes up the saxy style of the original and opts for a quiet, vibraphone-based melody. Itd probably make for some awesome study music!
12:18 - Times Seal
Original Track: Sealed Door
The original Sealed Door was a piece of mystery and melancholy. This, however, is more like a 5 star hotel! This album has a good amount of piano/sax based tracks. But since every track has a distinct vibe, the instrument combos never feel repetitive. I really hope people find this album as fun as I do.
19:17 - Neuga, Ziena, Zieber, Zom
Original Track: Battle With Magus
This one is a delight to listen to in the rain or the night. Its so different from the original and I really do appreciate that. The original is so good its hard to perfect it in a remix that sticks close to it. Some still manage that task, however most tend to go a different direction with it. And I honestly prefer the creativity expressed in this versus the many rock/metal arranges of Magus theme. Those are certainly good too, however this feels separate from the original theme, and I adore this because of that.
24:38 - Dream of Green
Original Tracks: Secret of the Forest, Memories of Green (Chrono Trigger)
There is maybe four or five absolutely incredible jazz arranges of Secret of the forest, and this is definitely part of that small group. Theres part of this which has some melodies from Memories of Green and Wind Scene, which I love. I really like the more synthy/guitar-y, beach-type style when compared to the rest of the album. This really stands out from the other tracks, making this my favorite from the album.
30:08 - Fight or Flight
Original Track: The Epoch - Wings That Cross Time
Much like the Chrono Trigger main theme, the Epoch theme was another song which was already very jazzy in tone with heavy saxophone. This one stays very true to the epoch theme, however it has some excellent airport/plane ish vibes. I love it! This whole album is one I love listening to while traveling. And this is my favorite version of the Epoch theme, after all.
36:14 - When Hell Freezes Over
Original Tracks: A Desolate World, Yearnings of the Wind
It’s so interesting to see how two thematically different tracks get combined in such a natural and fitting manner. This is moodier and more ambient (at least to start) than the other songs on the album, and with that change in tone all the familiar instruments like drums, vibraphones, saxophones, and horns suddenly feel very different. Very impressive work.
43:26 - Driftwood
Original Track: At the End of Time
Theres a bit of Far Off Promise (Called Memories of Crono by Gaspar) in this one. Fitting, huh? This one is pretty upbeat and serves as an excellent end to the album, and an exciting look into the future of the OC Jazz Collective. I really do love this album, and I do hope the OC Jazz crew returns sometime in the future to produce some more wonderful mixes.
Before we go, I must say a quick thanks to:
.The Chrono Trigger team, for creating this awesome game and soundtrack.
.The OC Jazz Collective. Thank you for working so hard to produce these amazing tunes and artwork!
.You, the viewer, for watching. Knowing you enjoy this is what keeps me going.
Enjoy!")
