Borderlands 3 - Digby Vermouth - Supernova Dreamsicle

My arrangement of the ambient music for the Tazendeer Ruins in Borderlands 3. This is largely different from the in-game material that was designed to shuffle all 7 layers at random. In fact, all 3 tiers of intensity in music for this map are built that way.

Borderlands 3 - The Machine Crypt

This mix contains 3 of the 7 "suites" I wrote that cycle inside Desolation's Edge. Most of the synth work in this are custom Serum patches. 

There's a short bit of new material connecting the sections and an alternate "sparse" mix of what I call the "lullaby" of Nekrotefeyo at the front of the piece, this is a kind of representation of how this can break down to sparser arrangements in-game.

Borderlands 3 - A Forgotten Place

This is an arrangement of the high combat clips used in-game for the most intense combat section in Tazendeer Ruins.

Borderlands 3 - The Family Wants The Machine

The light combat section of music from Desolation's Edge arranged for soundtrack.

Borderlands 3 - The Arrival... Intensifies

Borderlands 3  - Action At The Machine

Soundtrack mix of the General Traunt fight in Desolation's Edge.

Borderlands 3 - In Case It Wasn't Clear... TRAUNT!

Heavy Combat arrangement for desolation's edge systemic music.

Borderlands 3 - Maliwan Is Here

2 of 7 "suites" of ambient themes for Desolation's Edge.

Borderlands 3 - The Arrival

An extended mix of the menu theme replacement that is unique to the bloody harvest free DLC event. Another almost pure Serum demo of custom patches.

Borderlands 3 - Bloody Harvest - Menu Theme (Extended)

An arrangement of the dark ambient clips that made up the systemic music for exploring the level.

Borderlands 3 - Bloody Harvest - The Tech Hallows

An arrangement of the layers and clips that comprised the combat music for the bloody harvest seasonal DLC event.

Borderlands 3 - Bloody Harvest - Maliwan Rises

The boss fight prelude that sets up the Phase 02 music.

Borderlands 3 - Bloody Harvest - Captain Haunt Phase 01

A track for the boss fight with Captain Haunt that mixes influences from Sebastien, Peturbator, Wolfgang Gartner, Benny Benassi and a little Justice au jus.

Borderlands 3 - Bloody Harvest - Captain Haunt Phase 02

The distorted tones are a mix of distorted Morin Khuur and serum patches. The brightest element is the Morin Khuur during the intro section of this. 

We wanted boss battles to maintain some of the electronic / aggressive personality of the main game fights. But for how dark we went with the score, something about Burial influenced garage felt like an appropriate direction so I tried to work some of that influence into this encounter.

Ashfall Peaks Transition Segment

Originally an experiment at mixing up and pitching the same sets of clips that comprise the first combat cue to Ashfall peaks. I polished it up a little bit and included it in the soundtrack as an example of using the same source material to create variations in mood.

More Conflict at Ashfall Peaks

The tone setting track for me. This is also my personal favorite ambient. This introduces a loneliness and coldness to this area I just loved in the concept art.

Arrival at Ashfall Peaks

As much as I tried to recreate the way this music felt inside the music system in-game, I still enjoyed my in-game experience more than this soundtrack arrangement. Those "braam" like elements are two serum patches with an instance of fabfilter Simplon opening and closing the top end of both serum patches.

Conflict at Ashfall Peaks

This is the one track I was able to actually use more of the tuvan throat singing I learned for this project. I started learning the Morin Khuur from youtube videos about 3 months before this as well. 

This cue represents the alienness of the Borderlands universe and using ethnic instrumentation and techniques in different contexts to emphasize the wildness and harshness of the environments.
