Sirian's Overture

A special 'Solo Orchestra' mix of the piece without any guitars or drums. There is a huge amount going on in the Orchestral tracks and this stripped down version of the song offers a different perspective!

Sirian's Overture - Solo Orchestra

Update - 03/03/2013 - Polished up a few things and gave this a Mix/Master. This piece is intended for the credits roll, but will also appear on the game soundtrack.

A theme from the mysterious 'Interactive' Eternal Descent Soundtrack. A work in progress, not yet mixed/mastered - just a taste of things to come! \m/

Heavy Metal Heroes Soundtrack - Dark Tides

UPDATED May 3rd. Mixed & Mastered! \m/

UPDATED 19th March. Reworked all orchestral elements - Balanced & EQ'd track accordingly. Pretty much ready for final Mix/Master.

UPDATED 28th Feb. Reworked the main chorus riff to bounce along a little better and keep the track pumping, this is going to be vital in practice as we need something to drive gameplay forward and keep the pace up. Also added numerous production details and some sweet DeviEver FX on the synths and bass in places. Still got to track Electric Bass on this and my buddy Jan Hoegland at 8Dio productions is working his magic on the Strings/Choirs at the moment to give us some really cinematic sounds. Will probably stick to beats 'in-game' and add some live drums for the final 'album' version ;)

Heavy Metal Heroes Soundtrack - The Night Watch

Updated 23/05/2013 - Third pass at mix / master XD I think this might be the one, gotta live with it for a bit and try a few more systems.

Updated 21/05/2013 - Second pass at mix / master. Real close i think, just gotta brighten up the main melody so it really carries the piece, everything else is coming through real nice! \m/

Updated 21/05/2013 - First pass at a mix/master on this one! It's nearly there, just got to cool down the riffs a bit and reinforce the synths/strings/choirs/FX to give the track some lift.

Updated 26/03/2013 - Decided to give the track a 'TRON' esq feel with synth swells and deep bass pads. Revamped the backing harmony and added new orchestral elements, mostly choirs and staccato hits for the bridge section. Close to mix/master stage.

Updated 03/04/2013 - Recorded Bass lines, electric and synthetic. New Pads and arpeggiators throughout. Closing in on final arrangement before mix/master.

Original description: A another theme from the mysterious 'Interactive' Eternal Descent Soundtrack. A work in progress, very early stages in this case and certainly not yet mixed/mastered - just a taste of things to come! \m/

Heavy Metal Heroes Soundtrack - Eternal Guardian

18th Feb 2013 - Very rough and ready arrangement for a chunky metal odyssey that pays tribute to Beethoven's iconic sonata, opus 27 - Moonlight. Loads of work to do on this, but it'll be a fun project ;)

Update! 24th Oct 2013 - Ok, so this was on the back burner for a while! Here's the first pass on the electronic elements. Mix is all over the place and there's some sync issues with the delay at the end, but the beats are coming along. \m/

Soundtrack Teaser #4 - Moonlit Monolith

Update May 20th: It's a bit all over the place at the minute but i had time to further develop the main melody and variations. Definitely an 'inbetween' stage here but progress none the less!

Update May 6th 2013: Finally had a moment to get back to this one. Laid down some chunky riffs and added some squelchy synths with a bit of fuzz. Still orchestrating the intro and thinking about the breakdown section following the main melody. I think this track will become the score for the wasteland stage - the ruins of a crumbling urban environment following on from the opening city crawl.

Original post: Had a few minutes to lay down a new theme. This is about the earliest stage of recording that i'll share on here, so it gives a good insight into how i go about creating music. I start with a simple beat and pad out the chords/implied harmony with the orchestral instruments - then the lead melodies come into the picture and then its a case of filling in the blanks, heavy riffs, crunchy synths, and so on!
