Overview

The project began on October 15, 2004 with prospective artists auditioning past work for project manager Andrew Triplett, followed by having the participating artists pick tracks to recreate. The album was originally planned for release on September 27, 2005, one of the dates regarded as the 10th anniversary of the American release of Chrono Trigger. The project was later delayed on several occasions including audio engineer Roland Löhlbach belatedly receiving some participants tracks and experiencing various computer issues, project director Andrew Triplett addressing a lack of high-bandwidth mirrors, and webmaster Anders Gatu having to code the distribution script under too tight of a deadline.

Audio design

Though almost completely digital, the album was intended to sound like a movie score. The convolution-based reverb settings used to simulate a live environment were that of the 700-seat Promenadikeskus Concert Hall in Pori, Finland. More information about the concert hall and its impulse responses is available on the Helsinki University of Technology web site (see external links). For the computer science usage see convolution (computer science) . In mathematics and in particular, functional analysis, convolution is a mathematical operator which takes two functions f and g and produces a third function that in a sense represents the amount of overlap between f and a reversed and translated version...
