Yet another.... Battle Theme.

As making battle themes is all the rage nowadays... here is mine.

I actually made this a while ago, as a theme song for my friends when they play online games. I specifically made it in a style of a RPG battle song, Final Fantasy etc. It was actually my first attempt at copying a certain style. Though in the end it has my own sort of style to it.

Which probably has to do with the instrumentation. I used the distorted guitar and bass guitar, standard battle music stuff. But then I have an accordion and a vibraphone. Plus drums, of course.

I started with just the guitar and bass guitar parts, and added the main accordion bit. This stub of a song sat for a while. When I came back to the song I added the intro with the vibraphone, and the whole song then pieced together in my head. And the song nearly wrote it self. It was really fun making this song.

Even though it went together easily, the song still took longer than any other song I've made. All told it took about 30 hours to put it all together.

I've listened to it so many times though, I don't even know what it sounds like fresh anymore.

I am probably listening to it with a slight bias... I need help to critique it.

I does sound intense but also a bit random, especially when it switches into major.

I'd also change that chime instrument... it's too happy for a fight, in my opinion.

Well, I'd describe it more... energetic because it's fast-paced. Problem is it sounds like a MIDI file . It sounds like it needs some real true sounding instruments to make it shine. Well, I'd say it sounds great for an RPG battle theme and this is all it is suited for in my opinion. Couldn't fault anything during the song to be purely honest.
