This is pretty neat. Really good job and I like the format and delivery.  I'm interested to hear what kind of music you put into future productions.

Hello there, I have contacted CDbaby awhile back about this issue. They are not supposed to send out copyright warnings.  I received an email stating their automation system has not worked and had been picking up waveforms in streamed games. They pulled what they call the sync licensing off from the waveforms of the music supposedly. If you have any problems or if they try to claim a copyright issue, dispute it and tell them you have permission to use the music as you see fit.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

General Discussion / Guns of Icarus Online Score

« on: December 07, 2015, 08:11:20 pm »

Hey guys new album is released today with a-lot of bonus tracks material. Not all the music in the score will be used in the final versions of the game, but I thought it fun nonetheless to include extras. Its a 3 volume first edition of 2 hours and 33 minutes of music.  I hope you guys enjoy ! See you in the skies !

Gustav Mahler would be a good comparison for Holst, and he wrote during the Romantic era, as well.  I'm listening to his No. 6 in A Minor, 1st movement--very much something I would expect from a more European culture in Guns of Icarus.

In a similar vein, though he's a little more Impressionist (post-Romantic, they call him), Shostakovich's use of different tonality is something I really enjoy listening to, too.  The whole Quartet No. 8 is very good, but mvmt III is by far my favorite.

I enjoy Gustav Mahler and agree with your expectations. I will be doing a diverse score, though I can say I'd like to keep Romantic era tonality as the core to my work but I will also be considering other tonalities and theories as well.

This is interesting. I have heard only about this in game every now and then. I may look this over to bring depth to my compositions.

Carry on

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!

Excellent! I enjoy music discussions, Some of my family used to play in a college taiko group and they used to have the group practice at home. I've heard of holst's planet series. I find my taste and style leaning into the Wagnerian-grandiose school. That is to say I prefer romantic era tonality (with a modern day twisT) I have thought about doing some twelve tone patterns with percussion for some combat music.
