Gimmen, what program do you use, and do you have any special voice packs/sample packs? Also, do you know Frank Klepacki?
Thanks for the link!

Hi Machiavelliest. I have Vst programs with mutiple sound libraries I use for composing. I use Fl studio 10, Cubase 6 and Protools for light mastering. I looked up Fran Klepacki and I have heard his stuff, Specifically his Command and Conquer Red alert soundtrack. I used to play C&C back in 95-97 a-lot with my family so I've heard his game music before. I have not heard his recent stuff though. I enjoy his work on that score.

I like how you've used orchestral music rather than trying to over-punk it. I'll keep listening to your channel! Are there any plans to roll out region-specific music for Adventure Mode?

Yes there is. There are Six factions and each faction will get its own Motif. Each faction will be composed with mostly western orchestral scoring accompanied by a few select cultural instruments for that area. For Example Battle music in the Yesha Empire region have Asian influences, I would be using patches and samples of Taiko Drums, Chinese Kettle drums, Gongs etc.. to reflect that cultural diversity. There is a lot of music to be made.
I like painting with sound. :)

If you're interested in taiko, check out Kodo (and their smaller odaiko trio). I live in Okinawa, so I get to see a lot of drumming because of the traditional Eisa dances here.
Not sure if it'd fit with any of the civilizations, but tabla is a pretty well-suited drum instrument, too. Curandero is probably my favorite group of all time. Aside from the fact that the musicians are possibly the most talented in the world in their field, I'm also a bass player, and Kai Eckhardt plays a fretless, and very well at that.
There seems to be two main styles of playing tabla, the Aloke Dutta style, considered a little more modern, and the Zakir Hussain style. Aloke Dutta is performing in Alex Gray's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors because he was the instructor for Danny Cary, Tool's drummer; Alex Gray does the artwork for their albums.
And I bet no one would think the clay pot is an awesome instrument.
For the battles especially I tend to prefer percussive music. It's also kind of in line with the concepts at work in the game. Look at Holst's Mars, Bringer of War, and compare it to the rest of the Planets series--people naturally associate battle with percussion. I used to be an active musician, so I relish any chance to discuss and share it!
