What if...

Post by Droolie »

... What if I contacted Eric Chevalier himself and asked him for the REAL Rayman 4 music ( since he was obviously going to be the composer for the real platformer game - it's even on his site! )? That way, IF he answers:
- if he wants to send the music, it would be great!
- if he doesn't want to send the music, he will maybe tell me the reason, which could be that another Rayman game is being made and they'll still use the music.

...And I could also ask him if there are any ( great ) songs that didn't make it to Rayman 2, right? :roll:

Soo, whaddaya think? Should I mail him? ;)

If I'd mail him, it'd have to be in French, so, also, anybody willing to translate? :D

EDIT -> I am probably going to email him. I just need a French translation and some comments on how the email could be better.
Here is the English Email: *removed because of character limit*

EDIT 2 -> This is the email I sent him yesterday evening:
Cher Monsieur Chevalier,

Depuis que j'ai joué le jeu Rayman 2, je suis un grand fan de vous et de Michel Ancel. Puisque j'aimais particulièrement la musique que vous avez faite pour ce jeu, je me suis mis à la recherche d'autres jeux pour lesquelles vous avez faite la musique (Tonic Trouble, Dinosaur). J'ai vistié régulièrement votre site.

Il y a quelques jours j'ai vu que vous avez mis Rayman 4 (Rayman contre les lapins crétins) dans la section de film promo sur votre site.Si vous avez composé la musique pour un des bandes d'annonce du jeu Rayman 4, il devrait s'agir d'un version platforme, qui serait aujoiurd'hui abandonnée.Parce que vous ne vous trouvez pas dans les credits, est-ce que cela veut dire que vous alliez composer la musique pour ce jeu (Rayman 4) jusqu'au moment ou Michel Ancel a décidé d'abandonner le projet qui allait devenir un "party Game"

Puisque vous avez sans doute composé déjà de la musique pour ce jeu (exmple la musique de la bande d'annoce), que va-t-il se passer avec cette musique non utilisée, et question de plus est-ce qu'elle sera jamais utilisée.

J'aimerais savoir.

Ma question est : est-ce que je pourrais avouir cette musique (non utilisée) de Rayman 4. Au besoin je pourrais vous payer

Merci de répondre

Dear Mr. Chevalier,

Since I played the game Rayman 2, I was a big fan of you and Michel Ancel. I liked the music so much that I started playing more games you composed the music for ( like Tonic Trouble and Dinosaur )! I also decided to check your site ( http://www.ericchevalier.com ) every now and then.

A few days ago, I noticed that you had put Rayman 4 ( Rayman Raving Rabbids / Rayman contre les lapins crétins ) in the promotional films section of your site. If you did indeed compose the music for one of the Rayman 4 trailers, then it's a trailer of the platformer version, which is now scrapped, right? Because you're not in the credits of the final game. So does that mean you were going to compose the Rayman 4 music, until Michel Ancel left the project and the platformer game became a party game?

If you were indeed going to compose the Rayman 4 music, you must've had some music already done ( like the trailer music ), since the music would have had to be ready before the release date of the game. My question is, what is going to happen with this music? Will it never be used? Of course, I'd like to hear it, so, IF it is never going to be used, I'd like to get it from you. Of course, if you want, I will pay for it... So can I please buy the never-released Rayman 4 scrapped soundtrack from you?

Please, send me an answer soon!

Thanks in advance
EDIT 3 -> Eric Chevalier did not answer yet. I did send Michel Ancel ( [email protected] ) an email, though. Just to ask for any news for a Rayman platformer ;)

Wow, good work man. You actually contacted Ancel?. I suppose it is good that people can contact the man behind it all. :)

Yeah, but it seems it was Ancel's old address, so it didn't work :? ...
... but I think I can manage to get his new one ;)

Drol, how much are you willing to pay for the music?

If Chevalier has it, that is?

Wow, I'd never dare send neither Ancel or Chevalier a mail like that... Thumbs up for you, Drol!

Eric Chevalier never answered, neither did Ancel. :cry:

@ spiraldoor: Well, I don't really know... quite a lot of money, I think.

I really didn't expect it... Who knows how much mail they get of the same type... ): Still too bad though.

By the way, I just checked Chevalier's site, and it's down, because they're making a new site! :)
And his new email address is there... [email protected] !
I'll send my old email to his new address now... Done! =D
I don't expect him to answer though...
