Ideas Discussion: "Around The World"

[The Mann]

Hello.

I am planning a special audio project. An orchestration based on the landscape of the Guns Of Icarus world. it will be called "Around the World"

It will be based on the following maps.

The Dunes (desert scrap,),

Paritan (Labyrinth),

Flayed Hills (Red Sepulcher),

Canyon (Canyon Ambush),

Firnfield (fight over firnfeld, Anglian Raiders),

Northern Fjords,

and

Refinery. (These are the general maps. if I missed any let me know...)

On this thread, I would like to discuss the feeling of these maps for example,

Paritan - dark, daunting and full of suspense.

I would like to take these ideas into consideration when I begin this audio project.

Also, give me ideas for style... what sort of orchestration would suit certain areas...

Paritan - a piano perhaps... high notes to give an eerie suspense...

This will be a community project in collaboration with fellow Bard, Brave Buccaneer Tavi who is kind enough to create a video for the project. A Brave Buccaneer Tavi's Adventures Movie 2.

Adding more information for my part of the project:
- I will be doing the same kind of video as the " guns of icarus MV " I made, but this time I will try to use After Effect to make a really cool editing
- It will be the first time that i will be using a software like After Effect but i will do my best to make it look nice and not over-edit ^^
- If any of you are willing to help me recreate a scene that i would like to make ( Like for exemple having 4 ships following each other to write on their baloons and things like that would be cool, but i would then need 4 players to pilot the ships while i record ) send me a message on my forum inbox with your IG name and i'll contact you when i will need your help

You forgot the best map ever - Fjords.

I Knew I was forgetting one!

Mods, any chance you can edit my post to include Fjords as a map?

Tavi da best <3 If you all haven't seen his latest "guns of icarus funny moments" video, I absolutely recommend that you do - see it HERE!

Fair warning, it got me in it.

The Dunes (desert scrap,)

Scrap is a running map, the greatest moment when you spectate the other team rushing along side yours for the point. During this relatively calm time, the crew is busy preparing the ship for the upcoming fight.

Just like the Race Camel to Hamunapra

That sounds like a nice project.

If you are doing Refinery you may want to do some industrial or even baroque style of music, if it fits.
The feeling for the map that I can imagine is something what I imagine is similar to miners or people that work on an oil platform: Emotionless, some health issues like possible back pain and the occasional cough and the sad feeling that comes from the constant rain and lack of light.

For Fight over Firnfeld/Anglean Raiders I imagine a winter- or viking-like music.
This map is often visited by traders and raiders. When a fight happens the people that live there hide in their huts, so for the feeling there should be some fear involved. Obviously it is also cold and, I would imagine, rather calm when no battle is happening.

I wish you luck and with your and Tavi's projects!

Thank you for the suggestions so far!

I'm not a mod, but there you go.

Something suspenseful, for canyons. The feel of hunting, or being hunted. Not knowing when or where they may appear.

For fjords, something similar to Lord of the Rings battle music would be cool. Lots of brass instruments blasting and all that.

Refinery definitely needs some industrial, maybe some grunge.

Not about maps, just hinting a good (GREAT) steampunk OST:

Might be a little inspiration for you. ^^

Also, what about Duel at Dawn?

*facepalm*...

Paritan, the ghost city.. With large buildings peaking higher than the poisonous fog which plagues the once great city.. Though respirators can make the air breathable, the only pilots who travel here are pilgrims following the footsteps of the legendary Gabriel, or scavengers after lost treasures of the old world.. And these pilots and crews are either very brave and daring.. Or just downright stupid as they race around the urban jungle.
