Warhammer 40k Mechanicus

This was written for the recent Acidplanet Killzone 3 remix competition.  Rather than simply make a dance/techno/dubstep remix, I created this piece from scratch completely (no stems that were provided were used). It uses themes and motifs from the third game and hopefully has the same hectic/crazy feel as Joris De Man's soundtrack. 

It's heavily based on the motifs and themes from Joris De Man's Killzone 1/2/3 soundtrack, made from scratch by ear. Similarly to the last Killzone piece, because it's so short the video contains the original piano score that I wrote when I was playing with ideas. The final composition differs slightly in places but is mostly the same. As usual I was trying to get the orchestra sounding as realistic as possible. I was also trying to get some of the synthy-sounds into it.

The usual software was used:
FL Studio 9.9, Kontakt 4.2, Guitar Rig 4, WIVI 2 Brass, Spitfire Harp, Percussion, Symphonic Strings & Great British Brass, Orchestral String Runs, Shreddage, Cinesamples CineOrch, Hollywoodwinds, Deep Percussion Beds & VOXOS, Tonehammer Requiem & Liberis, Project SAM Symphobia 1, Symphobia 2 & True Strike, LA Scoring Strings, Evolve Mutations 1 & 2, various private libraries, my own voice overdubbing the choir.

Here's an orchestrated medley of themes from the Gears of War series. I'd originally created this medley for Video Game Orchestrations vol 2, but have since remastered and added to it. Hope you enjoy!
