In an attempt to help flesh out a game concept for a friend of mine I created a few "musical sketches". Both are based on a South American inspired "world" sound that originates from the game design itself. I'm referring to these as musical sketches as they're meant to be deconstructed for use with DX or Miles. I was trying to get some ideas out and play around with orchestration which I have absolutely NO previous experience with. My background in music is guitar so this is a stretch for me. Both "sketches" are created with Propellerhead's Reason 3. I'm not a DJ and don't really like working with loops so there are only a few drum loops used, the rest is drum programming and sequencing of my own. The orchestration and melodies are my own. These have only been head-phone mixed and need to be mixed with proper monitors. Also, since I used no synths I need to work on the sound of the real instrumentation. Some of it, especially the horns don't sound quite right yet (ie. lame). |
