Fail-Deadly Battle Theme

Same old story; it's been a while since I've posted =P. Work has kept me from posting anything lately. Fortunately, I'll be posting more tracks from this project in the near future!

This track is one of a few that play while you're playing the game. Its sort of an RTS with a TRON: Legacy sort of feel.

Drop me a comment and let me know what you think about it.

P.S. It's made to loop.

Fail-Deadly Battle Theme

hey john, nice ambient track. it gives a feel as if something is going on yet on a low level.

pretty straight forward, i think the brass was a tad too low and soft, and the whole orchestration is abit thin, funky beat transition on 0:40 ! suddenly it gets faster without provocation, maybe accent it or make it smoother? those or cool bass lines there but its a very rough contrast to the texture of the brass-maybe something that blends more with the brass? of course just a suggestion..

all in all pretty cool and pleasant track john, cheers.

I really dig it. The electronic bass line in the section after 0:40 reminded me of days playing the old Duke Nukem 3D. Futuristic yet gritty. I agree about the transition between sections, but overall sweet stuff.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

The J: Were there specific places where the horns were too soft or was it an issue throughout the entire piece? What do you mean by accenting the transition? Do you mean I should lead up to it better? The grungy bass and smooth horns are a pretty stark contrast. Maybe they don't have to be playing directly overtop of each other but they could play sections side-to-side of one another. What I don't want is an incredible smooth synth that just fades into the horns. I want them to sound distinct from each other. Good points, The J.

Murr: Thanks man! My only memories of Duke Nukem were blowing propane tanks on a roof top and going to strip clubs. Edgy stuff =P. I didn't notice how rough the transition was until you guys mentioned it. It must have been from the early days of writing this track when I was still figuring out the form. I was probably thinking, "Alright, I'll put a transition from here to here, cuz you gotta have a transition..." but then I never wrote it properly. Bad composing. My bad.

Thanks again!
