Right but the most interesting thing is that he didn't value his time like the other composers. Yes, geography probably plays a role, but that's the part I find fascinating.

That was what I was thinking. Imagine your playing a game about music throughout the years. In the end of the game you go back in time and meet Beethoven after he created the 5th symphony. You are challenged with defeating him in a music competition. This amazing piece is the one you play when going against him. After beating him, you finally go back to the present day and find yourself haunted by his ghost having to play for him once again. Eventually he teaches you what he knows and disappears. You have finally defeated a musical Prodigy known throughout the world as Beethoven...

[@alltoohalliwell]

$75 one is the perfect match to Beethovens 5th. Because they went with lower tones and that base, it just amplified how dark and visceral the symphony is while also having a matching complexity. Every beat and melody melded so perfectly but neither overpowered the other.

[@Christobanistan]

Exactly.

[@Aibo-cx9gw]

Agreed, piano and arrangement was best on that one. All but one fell on the face on the percussion IMO. Cept JMP who nailed it on the EDM style requested here - and also was the most expensive.

[@Onewithoutnameandnumber]

All three guys nailed it, they're all number 1's. It just depends on what you're looking for. $75 dude had the best gaming background track, $110 guy gave us the most cinematic vibe (my fave because it played beautifully with the original classical piece and was the most on theme IMO), and $300 guy crushed it with an epic EDM/dance club vibe. Amazing effort all around!

[@Cream147player]

I think there are two different elements of “quality” to look at here: 1) Quality of the sound engineering, which in my opinion did mostly increase with price. The higher priced ones sounded cleaner to me. 2) Quality of the ideas for accompanying your piece - this is the one that I don’t think increased so much with price. Some of the cheaper options seemed more creatively inspired by the task you asked of them. I agree with you that the $300 one was overall the best work. Fair play to all of them though - they all felt like solid efforts, nobody who I think is ripping people off.

I like to imagine Beethoven seeing what people were doing with his music 200 years later. While I don't know what he'd think of modern music, I trust that a craftsman will recognize craftsmanship, and I think he'd find it very cool to see how people are able to transform his work in new ways.

[@EXISTENTIALization]

I agree with you 💯. As funny as it sounds, classical music had a "rock concert" type of vibe back when the conposers were alive and pushing the envelope. I think he'd embrace the experimentation whole heartedly if he was able to hear it.

[@MarioVAmaya]

I agree totally. If you listen to very late works of Beethoven, such as the Grosse Fuge, you can sense something very strange there, like the composer went so far ahead with his ideas that even today we still have a hard time understanding what he wanted to do, and in his lifetime there were critics stating they were unlistenable. However, when Schubert, one of the most dedicated fans of Beethoven, was in his deathbed, he requested a score of just one of these last pieces from the master.

So… I’ll probably get some backlash for this but as someone who played in orchestra through school and still plays my violin as an adult, I have to say that 8:33 Phillip, gave me chills, in an orchestra specific way. Like I could have heard that composition at the Kennedy center or in Star Wars, like it included the whole orchestra. The $75 one was amazing in a soloist standpoint though, and freaking incredible for that price point. This is just my two cents. But I’m a fan and subbing now! PS your piano skills are amazing. :)

Yes! His one was my favorite, followed by Nicholas. I think Nicholas probably lacked a little bit in the sound quality, but he captured the music really really well. Phillip had great sound quality, I loved the style as well.

[@pglover64]

Nicolaschazarre was the best from start to finish. That ending was epic. If you had paid $7500 it would have been with it. Given your own criteria of what you were looking for, especially keeping the piano portion at front and center(focal point) it was exactly what you asked for and then more. WileyWest was actually off on his dubstep beat in a couple of spots. I also got bored with about 20 seconds left.

[@ObservingLibertarian]

I think I like the $75 one most, honestly. Good integration, really good energy, clean drops and he raise the intensity in build ups evenly so it really emphasized the build ups. For $75, that guy's work should easily be in the $150 to $200 range. That was solid, you could play that in a club and people would love it.

[@box_shadows125]

I personally agree with your ranking, following your parameters. However, I would definitely listen to Nicholaschazarre's (75) multiple times in a row compared to Wileywest's(300). Nicholas' has more of a older game feel that feels more simplistic, but definitely adds a bunch more to the song. The use of bass and higher parts accentuated the piano in a way that felt more subtle, almost like putting the piano in an elevated position and just playing bbackground. Wiley's version definitely connected into more of what you played. It also flowed well with the original and added just the right amount of suspense and increase in sound to it. The only thing I really disliked about it was the sheer amount of everything else going on around the piano. It was very well produced, but there was abpot of other elements added around the piano. It just isn't something I would play on repeat on a regular day. I'd most likely play it when I'm trying to stay focused or trying to get pumped up.

[@PrinceLeigh]

I completely agree!!

[@klausstock8020]

Yep, the "following your parameters" point. To me, these parameters were not clear to me until after all remixes had been presented. I had originally thought that the whole exercise would be to remix the 5th into an ultra-danceable EDM piece. To clarify: not just danceable (like re-interpreting it in 3/4 instead of 2/4 to make it a (possibly somewhat disturbing) waltz, or in 4/4 to make it a rumba - both of which would been reasonably good matches for the tempo of the 5th), but EDM-style danceable. I also assumed that changing the tempo was not allowed (it seems, however, some did that a bit, but no one went to 120 or 125bpm). Based on this assumption, the $600 piece by jmpaudiodesign would have been the winner (I actually did dance to all the tunes to check the danceability). But leaving my "stupid assumptions" aside and to consider which versions I'd actually like to listen to... Lindsey Mennenga's comment matches that perfectly.

[@jonesjeremiah]

You have to view it from their point of view as well. Many people on Fiverr undercharge their work. Just think about it. They have to pay taxes as well. I don't know how long it takes to produce a song like that but if you charge $75 for it then you can not work on it more than two hours or it is not worth it. Being self employed you have to calculate a lot different than people that work a normal 9 to 5 job.

[@trevorr9919]

That last guy did exactly what I wanted. He didn’t try to take over what you were doing and he did a little back and forth with what I guess I would call the lifting of the work. Idkh to explain it, but he knew when to grab the audience’s attention, then hand it back to the piano. Plus the drumroll build up to the drop. The third guy was the most creative to me. He may not have been the best but goddamn he has potential.

[@desperatechihuahua7035]

75$ Easily takes it. He built it in a way that the remix will amplify the already epic piano song. While the others just tried to make a good standard remix.

Moral of the history: you have to hire everyone and listen to all of them until you find the right one

[@ReganADHD]

I see a lot of people going with the $75 as the winner, and I actually have to agree From a piano player point: Nuisances are everything, Pianissimo and Forte are 2 examples that mean Soft and Loud in music theory. It's not like EDM where a standard volume can play most of the time. So this producer was able to catch that incredible buildup into finally dropping at the end! Perfectly arranged! 10/10 From a producer point: Reason I like this one so much is because nothing sounds too muddled. EQ'ing can be so annoying when something is too bass heavy, or too mid heavy. This sounds like it just nails it. Bass it heard when it's needed, and the Piano takes up most of the treble side of the spectrum, so it's mainly working with the rest of what you got. 10/10 Hope to see your name again! (Listening again lol)
