The guitar piece “Beryl” and cheap keyboard “Lisetta” were made but not used for another game.Īaron Miller:I’ll listen to the podcast tomorrow. In hindsight, I like (somewhat) that the guitar isn’t totally in sync because that gives it more of an impromptu tavern feel. I would have applied to be their composer if I had any skill at recording and mastering. I spent a lot of time talking about game design with the Sigil team back then. “New Targonor” is a guitar piece I put together for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes while the game was still in development (before the project went to ruin). It’s all the sort of limited and repetitive music that used to accompany games. “tech 2” reminds me of an old sidescroller game. I didn’t learn the sequencer’s nuances, so was limited to loops and constant volumes.
The second MIDI file is a marimba riff which sounds much better.Īll the riffs labeled “tech” are from many years ago when I experimented with a sequencer program called FruityLoops. The old MIDI violin grates by itself, but is slightly more bearable and realistic when paired with a second violin. The first was my idea of a few gypsies around a campfire with two violins, a tamborine, and a flute. There are two riffs recorded in old MIDI. They remind me of the progression of video game music. You might be interested in some of these old recordings of mine, James. He used to call his style “spank and pop” and it definitely put a jump in your step. I’ll have to pass on your anecdote about the bassist to my old bassist. It makes you - the player - want to be there, like when you’re looking at a photograph of a mountain or crystal waters. They want you to occasionally stop killing things and simply be wowed by vistas or details as the music takes you away. That’s a magnificent aspect of the Elder Scrolls games: beauty. “You simply wanted to stand there in awe.” Supposedly, a Red Dead Redemption sequel is around the corner! Great setting, great story. So chant in the main theme was brilliant. Halo‘s composers wanted to infuse the futuristic setting with ancient history. Hell (even on Mars) is not a setting one wants to vividly experience. Bethesda seems to have brought back the emphasis on action over fear. The new Doom has actually caught my interest, though I’m still unlikely to buy it. “The key was back in the apartment under the carpet all along.” But that soundtrack effect from the elevators to the sidewalk sounds brilliant. Makes me inspired to draw Final Fantasy-ish stuff haven’t been to Vegas. Omggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg. NOBUO UEMATSU (THE GENIUS BEHIND FINAL FANTASY MUSIC) IS GOING TO BE THERE!!!
