Fossil Fighters Orchestrated - Dr. Diggins Revived

Fossil Fighters Music Rework Project:
Have you ever wondered what the fossil fighter's soundtrack would sound like if the midi was translated into a score for a full orchestra and relevant ethnic instruments to play? Well now you can enjoy the majority of the soundtrack in this way. Using the original midi as a guide and creative license to approximate streamed audio portions of the soundtrack, I have come up with a approximation of how a real orchestra would play the Fossil Fighters DS soundtrack. Only a few streamed audio samples will not make the cut due to their poor quality audio to transcribe and some that are not able to have correct harmonization equivalents due to my limited ability to distinguish notes in a chord amidst the streamed audio; especially if the melodic range is tight.

The Following Tracks will definitely not be remade:

1. [Streamed Audio] Fossil Rank-Up
2. [Streamed Audio] Fossil Revival Short
3. [Streamed Audio] Fossil Integration
4. [Streamed Audio] Lose Fossil Battle - Return to Hotel
5. [Midi] Cleaning (Loop Version)

The Following Streamed Audio Tracks will be remade:

1. Fossil Battle Win
2. Fossil Battle Lose
3. Fighter License Rank-Up
4. Story Mode Chapter Theme
5. Staff Roll (Will be remade based on the already existing midi and the spirit of the streamed audio)
6. Fossil Fighters Intro/Preview

Besides these, 70 midi tracks will be remade. Any other tracks not within these 70 or on the streamed audio list above will not be remade. Samples used are a combination of Eastwest (Ethnics), Spitfire (Orchestral) and Native Instruments (Everything Else) with a Convolution Reverb, where appropriate, from EastWest Spaces II. I hope you can enjoy the hard work I put into it.

Legal Disclaimer: This project was done for fun, without any monetary exchange, and is strictly for entertainment purposes only. It is provided as is, without any official mp3 release to avoid copyright and other litigation that may arise. I make no claims to the original soundtrack. Fossil Fighters and it's soundtrack is the intellectual property of Nintendo and the studios for the game: Red Entertainment, Ardink and M2 along with the composers listed in the title card. This project stems from a fan with too much time on his hands and a lot of orchestral samples, wanting to do the soundtrack justice with real instruments to debunk the myth that the Fossil Fighters Soundtrack is terrible as a whole. I have not stolen any derivative works related to Fossil Fighters from other YouTube based composers as I have used the original midi files and adapted it to my tastes. For those who see these tracks and think it is a carbon copy of someone else's work; save some time and don't launch frivolous litigation into what is in essence a false claim. It took me since January 2020 until when I released the first track to do the entire soundtrack as complete as possible so I am protective about them being taken down. I will defend my own work as a derivative of the original, but will not claim the original as my own. These works may be downloaded for personal use on an MP3 player or phone for listening, however they may not be sold in any format due to the derivative nature of the work I have done and the lack of prior permission due to the omission of publicly available contact information needed for contacting the authority that gives the permission that was necessary under law.
