'm just gonna call it Funky-Tech Big Beat with some orchestral strings and brass. Yeah, that's it.

This was mainly an exercise in things I haven't tried before to see if they'd actually make a difference in the end. Stuff like making the drums sounds longer during louder/heavier parts and shorter/jumpier during quieter parts. slowly raising volume levels on background synths, making sounds duller during quiet parts and brighter during louder parts...and uhh...stuff. Yeah.

It's all an EEEE-lluuUuusion! *waves arms in the air* wo0o0ooo You can't see meee!!! AAHa hahfhAha hAH(48@9348!!#!#@##! ooeneo neon@!( 9~~!!!!!

Hope you like it.

I like. Later in the track after you introduced the strings, I was hoping to hear the cool electronic beat come back full force, with the strings playing a killer short-bow spicatto type riff, and the horns blasting majestically, and the electronic bleeps and squelches going too with lots of filter/envelop automations. But it never happened.

I've been doing a lot of electronica/orchestral mixtures myself, and it's always been a mixture that I loved. I think the guys who do the music for UT 2003/2004 are really good at it. I think the first time I heard that style done really well was back about 15 years ago, there was a TV series (drama) that was produced by Rober Dinero--the opening theme was a nice mixture of electronica and orchestral. Even back then I had longed for talented composers to make more use of electronica and combine the two styles.

I am listening to it right now,...and,...I must say,...I love it!!
Very different to your other stuff. Great work man, as usual!
The part between 2:00 and 3:20 is WONDERFUL! MORE!!!
The drums at the end are also great,....

I too remembered the UT soundtrack at times.
Nice man!

[Giant Hamster]

Thanks. :D

Luna: Maybe a part 2 some day. :]

Max: Wheee, Thanks! Yeah, I liked the UT music. It was done by some Music Tracker veterans such as Skaven and Future Crew. The UT files were just Impulse Tracker files.

I'm liking this very much! Good stuff.

You know what Skaven is up to these days: he's been working at Remedy Entertainment doing animations and some gfx for Max Payne titles. Multitalented guy.

you are awesome!
(you like the Phrygian mode,eh?)
Luna,whats spicatto?..i played classical guitar...only ever heard legato and staccato...

[Impaler]

Spicatto is a bowing term. Think: very short staccato. It's basically just bouncing the bow and allowing maybe.. 1-2mm of bow to pull the string.
