About Me: Larry "Liontamer" Oji has been a judge at OverClocked ReMix since July 2004, having evaluated more than 2,500 submissions. Reporting to site founder David "djpretzel" Lloyd, Larry is responsible for primary submissions evaluations, informational database maintenance and other otherwise sundry & unsexy tasks at OCR, becoming head submissions evaluator in June 2006.

Oji also contributes to VGMdb, appointed a Trusted Editor in December 2007 and promoted to Staff in February 2008. His work at VGMdb concentrates on free digital release albums by doujins/fan arrangers based in North America and Europe.

Larry also hosted the VG Frequency radio program for 4 years out of Atlanta's Emory University, focused on rearranged VGM and original compositions from the ReMixing community.

Larry’s dream job is to host a nationally syndicated radio program on video game music, which he considers the greatest and broadest genre of music in the world. Among his favorite video game composers include Tim Follin and Yasuhisa “Yack” Watanabe.

Oji worked through OC ReMix as assistant music producer for the remixed soundtrack of Capcom’s Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, developed by Backbone Entertainment.

Larry is currently recruiting artists for the Tim Follin tribute project "Dirge for the Follin," as well as writers for the VG Frequency blog. His own musical attempts, though irregular, have been considered godly. Larry currently resides in Atlanta, GA with The Lady, Paige.

The HD Remix soundtrack & ocremix.org

Hey guys, I'm Larry Oji, the assistant music producer for the remixed soundtrack of HD Remix, which was created by free game music tribute site OverClocked ReMix. If you haven't heard of us, we've been around since 1999, with over 1,500 free ReMixes tributing over 500 different games, and more being added every few days.

If you're looking for awesome free ReMixes from classic Capcom series like Mega Man, Breath of Fire, and of course Street Fighter II, check us out! Our SSF2T tribute album Blood on the Asphalt inspired many of the tracks you'll hear in HD Remix!

Now that the HD Remix beta is out, we're really excited to get your feedback on whether you're enjoying the music available so far! Please leave any comments you have at this post, or feel free to email me any time at larryoji@ocremix.org. I'll personally respond to any emails I receive.

If you happen to be with a gaming blog, magazine or other media outlet, we'd love to interview with you about OC ReMix's musical involvement with HD Remix and how much we enjoyed working with Rey and Capcom to put everything together! It's the first time we're aware of that a music organization run by fans has contributed a full game soundtrack.

Thanks for your comments, everyone! Please let us know what you think!
