Frequently Asked Questions
What is Relics of the Chozo?
Relics of the Chozo is a project aimed
at producing a collective and collaborated interpretation
of the soundtrack of Super Metroid. However, each individual
piece, despite being a unique standalone work of its
own, is also a part of a larger scheme arranged to create
an ambience of continuity; one large song, if you will.
The project could be thought of in terms of a progression
of events/sentiments/stages of every relevant theme
from Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo.
Who made Relics of the
Chozo?
Various artists worked on this project
in a joint effort. For profiles of those involved, check
the artist's page.
How can I listen to Relics
of the Chozo?
Make sure you have an ogg-vorbis supporting
media player. WinAmp 2.90 and greater supports Ogg Vorbis.
Then, download all 19 tracks from the download
page. Enjoy.
There may be an alternate format release
of RotC at some point in the future, but for now, only
ogg vorbis will be used. There are many reasons I chose
ogg vorbis over mp3 and I won't get into them here.
How can I help this project?
You can help mirror! This project is already
drawing a good deal of bandwidth. We can use all the
server support we can get.
In order to mirror for RotC simply download
all the latest files and host them. Give me a link to
the files and I will post it in the download section.
If you decide to stop hosting the files eventually,
simply notify me and I will remove the links.
You can also spread the music with these

Will you plan to do something
like this with other game sound tracks?
Personally, I do not. Super Metroid is
really a special game and I cannot think of any other
game to do something like this with. Secondly, it took
a great deal of my summer to work on this. Perhaps if
I had more time I would consider another such project,
but not at this time.
Why
does this Website look so CRUDDY?
My Gamma/Colorization was off on my monitor
when I made it. Also I was very tired and didn't feel
like putting more than an hours worth into a website.
My belief is - who cares about the site, just get the
music. I thought I did the site in a brownish tint found
in super metroid but it turned out green instead. Well,
I don't care enough to redesign it. Sorry for all you
webdesigners out there who are forced to withhold your
vomit each time you come here from the crappy colors.
If you don't like it - make me a better one. No really,
make me a better one. .. No, really! ...really.
