Soundtrack

Raincatcher · Post by **Raincatcher** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 10:32 pm

Hi ALL!
I don't know if you need soundtracks for this game, but anyway I composed a theme for this project (made it today in 4 hours). It is NOT ready yet this is just a demo version. I want to compose it further and to change some instruments. For example the flute which I used - suxx.

I want to record a real recorder, but I am still waiting for my sound interface with microfone inputs. =P
So. Hmm... here It is.

PS: NO LOOPS USED!

Used: Cubase SX3, EW Quantum Leap SO.

My ears scream "Want more". If ears can scream that is

Personally, as you could have already guessed, I like it a lot. It fits Imperial regions of Morrowind IMO more than Dunmeri ones though.

Sounds really good! I'm awaiting the next draft with baited breath. And yes, we are planning to add music. Though, between you and me this is one part of the forums that is not very active. I hope you stick around.

Raincatcher · Post by **Raincatcher** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 11:24 pm

Thanx to all people who answered my post! Well, I hope It will not take much time to compose it further.

2Makar: Wanted to write this post in the Sound section, but I did not have permission to write there.

I think this member shows an extreme talent for computer sound design, I say he be granted TR modder, if his music stays as good as this piece

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 11:44 pm

Amen to that brother Silverwood.

Member promoted to TR Modder. Enjoy your stay

awoo, makes me want to animate a trailer for this! In fact, with permission of Raincatcher and the overseers of the TR cast, I would definetly!

Such a lovely harmony which slowly and evenly turns into a delightful crescendo. And, like a held breath, it ends on a sudden note. Very wonderful, this user's got talent

Sure! I compose this track extra for this project, so use it as you wish!

It actually will not end there, I mean on this sudden note

I am going to compose it further next days.

Oopsy. I didnt realise that this wasnt in the sound thread. What I meant was that the sound thread rather un-active. Hopefully, if you become a moder, you can help change that!

I'm a little slow on the uptake, arent I?! Well then, sir, I look forward to your future contributions to the sound department.

Impressive work! Like Macar says, I really hope you stick around! A lot of music is going to be needed for both projects, so the more musicians, the better. Not only do you have a lot of talent in compositon, you have software people can only dream of as well! I'm sure many would welcome your help in orchestrating their works too.

Raincatcher · Post by **Raincatcher** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 6:23 pm

So, here is a little bit more.. Still not ready, but it is already something.

Damn, I landed somewhere where I did not want to - it sounds too sad at the end . Like someone is dead

I will change it, don't worry!

PS: Just stopped for today, I worked 7 hours on this. Gonna get me some beer now.

What do you understand under sexy? =)

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 7:00 pm

sexy= realy cool

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 9:33 pm

I like where this is going. I dont think it sounds sad. It sounds more like it's mysterious. actualy the laer section with the flute melody is remnicent of "Harry Potter". Speaking of which, that melody would sound really cool on celeste. You can try that if you want, Just a suggestion

I did not post everythig i composed, i cut a few seconds. There it sounds really sad..

Potter - mustdie!

LOL

I do not have celeste in VST, I have "The Grand", but I think piano is not the style of Morrowind.
PS: I can try to use ochestra chimes istead of cheleste.

Oh okay, I understand now. As for the orch. chimes, you might try it and see what you think. But you dont have to, you definately know what you are doing as a composer and dont need to listen to me.

Hey, no problem!

A good advice is a good advice. I will try it and see if it works. I mean this is your personal opinion and it is always good to know what ideas or suggestions other people have.

thmage · Post by **thmage** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 5:11 am

no offense, but i thought first on was better. The end and middle of the second were kinda odd.

But dont listen to me. ;)
lol

Lutemoth · Post by **Lutemoth** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 6:18 am

Okay, relentless of the need for it, I have to make an animation out of this now. Besides official chosen concept art, is there any work I should use from the forum (buildings, monsters, anything majestic/epic) in a montage?

Well it can be something in the middle, I am not sure, but last seconds really suck! LOL

I will repair it sometime. I do not have good sound monitors, so I can not make high quality mixdown. When separate tracks will be ready I will mix it in studio.
And I hate to have only one gig of memory. -When I unfreese instruments in Cubase it tells me "Physical memory is getting low! Loading more samples might cause problems" huhu.

Raincatcher · Post by **Raincatcher** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 8:22 am

I hope that I will finish this track within one or two weeks.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 8:31 am

I am waiting anxiously. However, for the next piece you do I have a little piece of advise. While what you wrote is really cool, it's a little attention grabbing. I liked that the music in morrowind (though a little limited) was not always grabbing your attention, it had some beautiful swells and such but it never realy distracted you from the game. I have a feeling that this track would. Maybe some will dissagree.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 1:03 pm

Ah.. so you mean something more mellow and ambient? Explore music, ect?

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 3:50 pm

Exactly. I've found that keeping the harmonic movement subtile helps. That and lots of slow attack instruments. There's nothing like a cymbal crash or a sunden da-da to catch peoples attention. I suppose though that you can get away with it sometimes.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 10:42 pm

I'm sure with Oblivion's stunning visuals this music would match perfectly. I'm picturing an outdoor forest... This just screams, "FOREST! FOREST! I BELONG IN A FOREST!"

The music of Morrowind had some very loud moments... The music was just so quiet that it didn't really matter because everything and everyone else was so much louder.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 10:48 pm

I dont know. And- judging by the new TES title theme- the music in oblivion could be a lot more bomastic. In MW it was a dirge on harp, OB's is a glorious fanfare.

the Bard · Post by **the Bard** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 11:11 pm

This is some great music but I think the whole idea of an instrument (talking 'bout the flute) playing solo makes it more music to listen to then music to hear on the background. Infact I think it might even distract, ofcourse this is a compliment on the music itself but it should be practical aswell.

Ops..! I am not sure if I still have backup of that version.
I deleted that 10 bars or something which I cut and now I am composing there something different (which is not so sad

But anyway I will try to find it - if I still have it I will post it here or send it to you.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 2:50 pm

Well I like depressing music. But I guess not everyone has requims on thier ipods.
