Xae's OST Contributions (BM Soundtrack)

Alright, the first post has some updates now. And a nice new layout. I'm also working on putting together a little video to show the new themes along with some scenes from the various locales. I figured it'd be more interesting than staring at that weird banner on my site.

This thread may prove useful: Promos - Threads, Webs & Links . Plus I have a small selection of videos and a much larger collection of pix. And help yourself to anything on my photobucket site: http://s434.photobucket.com/albums/qq70/Ibsen3/ .

I uploaded a very simple flythrough video with some parchlands music here.

Edit: Bah, fraking youtube screwed up the audio encoding. Very well, I'll just upload them to my site like usual.

Edit 2: Alright, some new songs are up on the usual site, here.

Wow, they are great as always! :goodjob:

Very unique. I like it a lot. Shine Through could use a few more distinct, recurring melodic sections but maybe that's just me. Neighbourland Sun is probably your best work I've heard so far...it's awesome stuff! :bananarock:

...and I love the deep bass sounds of 'The Rocks Have Eyes'. The only problem may be that there are not quite enough of them but the bit that I hear sounds ever-so-slightly like a deep moan. Perfect for a fog-bound moorland that borders on the dreaded Murkwood....

I get what you mean. I used a more classical style in this and woodlands 2, with no recurring parts. I figured I'd make woodlands 3 more catchy to create a nice contrast in the themes.

That's always nice to hear. I'm glad I got it right.

When is this slight moan? I'll look it up and remember it for the coming pieces.


All in all, I'm satisfied with this run of pieces. I feel as if I've reinvented myself several times while working on this project and now I've found the direction I want to go in. I particularly look forward to scoring Kothringi (I think that's how it's spelled).

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Yes, that's right. Kothringi. I couldn't tell for sure as I can't open the sound files in a separate player but I timed it and the low bass comes in at about the 28 second mark.

[Xae]

Ah, you're referring to the contrabassoon? It has only two notes in the song, an upwards leap. I ended up using less in this song that I'd planned but it'll be more frequent in the others.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Ah yes, of course, how could I miss that? It's the contrabasson....silly me.... :eek: :eek:

[Xae]

Ok, I've almost finished parchlands explore 1 and woodlands explore 2. I'm also working on a main theme.

I'm trying to upload them but the FTP is giving me attitude. They should be up eventually.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Cool! It might be time for me to start setting up a few sound downloads around here so that people can enjoy the soundtrack as they explore...
