Hi everybody. Today is my first post. Anyway, I will be making music for Shenmue III and it's definitely going to be great. So I'll post it when I'm finished, don't know when it's going to be done though. Thanks. :D

Are you saying you were contracted to make music for Shenmue 3 officially?
Or you're just making Shenmue-esque music as a hobby?

No not officially. But I am making music for it. So as long as it is great music, I'm sure it'll be accepted, right?!

I don't think they will accept fan-made music into the game, but I'm sure fans will appreciate what you're doing, provided it's great... So, good luck!

Thanks. Even if they don't accept it, I'll just be happy to compose it. I've had it in my head for a while now, I just need to let it out so that me and many other fans can hear it.

Yeah I love his remixes. Mine is also going to be a remix (sort of). I know most people here will like it, maybe even everybody on this forum will too.

I'm looking forward to listening to your stuff. I'm always open-minded towards great Shenmue-esque music. About getting your tunes accepted into the game, though...

Last year, even Shenmue 3's official composer Ryuji Iuchi said, that he will probably not do too many tracks for S3. In fact, they will mostly used canned music from Sega's archives and Iuchi will only do some additional ones for certain parts of the game, if Yu Suzuki won't be able to find anything he deems suitable in the archives. I can't find the interview right now, but if my memory serves me right, Iuchi also stated that they found about 800 tracks in the archives of which only about 25% were used in the first two games.

There is the unused track "Flag of Lions" on the Orchestra Soundtrack and some of the unpublished tracks have been found on the Dreamcast discs, like this one.

Now if the rest of the material in the archives is anywhere near the unused tracks we know, quality-wise, S3's soundtrack will be Yu Suzuki's smallest concern and Ryuji Iuchi will not get a lot of work from this project. :D

I have a feeling that the reused/unused music comments are to mean compositions rather than actual tracks... but we'll see.

I don't think it'll be too expensive or laborious for him to rearrange older compositions using more modern synth samples mixed with live recordings of instruments.

According his Soundcloud tracks, there will be no major changes to our ears anyway.

Oh certainly. Iuchi knows which instruments and samples are 'Shenmue'.

If they're using synth sample music over live recordings, I'm crossing my fingers for dynamic uses of sound. Like, walking around outside having the area "theme", but going inside somewhere (with no loading) changes dynamically on a chord into an interior theme.

Are you sure of the synth nature of the original tracks? I'm not a specialist but the high sound compression is maybe misleading.
