The OotS Soundtrack Project (is back!)
Hey guys,
I've been reading OotS since comics were back in the double digits, and I've connected with it a lot over these many years.
I've also been playing music for the past half-dozen years or so, and though I'm no maestro, I (and a bunch of you!) have written some OotS-inspired compositions us all to listen to and enjoy. If any of you want to take up my challenge and write a piece of your own, be my guest and share it here with all of us.
Current pieces:
Quarion Nailo:- Greysky City Swing(SoundCloud)
- Head to Head (Roy vs. Thog)(SoundCloud)
- An Empire of Blood (Tarquin's Theme)(Noteflight)
- Breadcrumbs (Thog's Theme)(Noteflight)
- Girl's Best Friend (Haley's Theme)(Noteflight)
- Feuding Banjos (Elan's Theme)(SoundCloud)
- Fell Ascension (Darth V's Theme)(SoundCloud)
- At the Dawn of Time (SoundCloud) (Making of)(YouTube)
- Smoke and Mirrors (Girard's Theme)(SoundCloud) New!
Othesmo:
- O-Chul(Download)
- The Oracle(Download)
- Thor(Download)
- Vengeance (Malack's Theme)(Download)
Incom:- The Crimson Mantle: A Theme for Redcloak(Musescore)
- Roy Greenhilt: Swordsman on a Mount (WIP)(Musescore)
ScubaGoomba:- The Sapphire Guard(Download)
Curtis:- Xykon's Theme(Noteflight)
- The God of all Puppets (Banjo's Theme)(Noteflight)
The Underlord:- Call of Banjhulu(Download)
- Sabine's Theme(Download)
Jzadek:- Tarquin's Theme(Noteflight)
- The Snarl(Noteflight)
Vesth:- The Battle of Sir Digit(Download)
- Arcane Foray (V's Theme)(Noteflight)
- Shojo's Sanctum(Youtube)
- Celestial Melody(Noteflight)
- Mirth! (Giggles' Theme)(Noteflight)
- Untitled song(Noteflight)
Ninjadeadbeard:
petersohn:- Elan, Inspirer of Competence(Musescore)
Howler Dagger:- Durkon's Theme (Part 1)(Download) New!
Drahcir:- Because It's Me Duty (Durkon's Theme)(Soundcloud) New!
Todd Ingram:- [URL="http://tindeck.com/listen/odzd]Familicide[/URL][SIZE="1"](Download)[/SIZE] New!
Philip Engdahl:- O Buddy Roy (Vocal!)(Download)
Requests:
Malack's Theme- Redcloak's Theme
- Roy's Theme
- Linear Guild Theme
Composing Software:
- Noteflight. Online music editor. Simple, easy to learn, easy to share, free. Unfortunately, not very powerful, sounds very artificial.
- Musescore. More powerful music editor (though not online). Free. Much better than Noteflight, but probably a little more sparse than Sibelius or Cakewalk Sonar.
- Sibelius. Paid music editor. Very powerful, all-around capabilities.
- Cakewalk Sonar. Technically an 'audio workshop', it has very strong music creation abilities as well. Allows transcribing keyboard or electric guitar notes into MIDI files by plugging them into your computer, then recording. Also paid.
Possible Soundtrack Competition?
I'll write more pieces as time allows. If you're interested in hearing some of my other tunes and ditties, you can find them here and here.Last edited by Quarion Nailo; 2018-01-27 at 10:44 PM.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Oooh I love this idea! I will have to save this site and mess around with it sometime.
And I absolutely love your song! It's very fitting for Greysky City I think!

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Nice track man! Although being honest it doesn't really evoke Greysky City to me; it sounds way too positive for that. Greysky is Not a Nice Place™, after all! The clarinet just doesn't fit that vibe to me. I really dig the tune anyway though.
I don't have time now but I'll definitely try and whip something up a bit later. It's a nice idea for sure.

I'd be more interested in seeing themes for characters and particular moments then locations, personally.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
I think that the only right thing to do would be to put together a crack team of composers and musicians and release an album, kinda like what the Cave Story Remix Project people did. If this is going to happen, I want in.

Omg I love Head to Head @[email protected] laughed out loud when Thog's part started xD
You could make a cartoon in crayons about a red square that falls in unrequited love with a blue circle, and there wouldn’t be a dry eye in the house if you know how to tell a story.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Damn, I am having great difficulty getting past the "drum machine" vibe. Cymbals don't work well at all with electronic music...
However, the composition is very nice.

Dad GUM you are talented. Those are pretty sweet compositions.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Hey guys,
I just finished Head to Head, so that means if anyone wants to request a song, now is the time, because it might be a while before some divine inspiration hits me next.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Hmm. Head to Head doesn't really sound like an epic fight with collapsing buildings and sudden OH **** moments to me. I think it could work for sometihng else, but as that fight... I dunno.
I like the other one though, it's cool.
Suggestions, hmm, Elan's leitmotif maybe. That'd be interesting.Spoiler: This signature is a historical relic from a long-ago time of regular forum activity.Aww man! Even all the witty self referencing sigs are gone now!

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Awesome!
The Greysky one made me think of two buddies (a pair of theives or maybe Haley and her daddy) walking around in the gloom, up to no good. That seemed to fit.
The other one didn't work as well for me, I think because the pitch and/or instruments didn't say "Big@ss Fighter and Bigger Half-Orc" to me. It was a perfectly fine tune, perhaps for Belkar battling waves of goblins, but for Roy & Thog I felt more like something a little deeper and slower seeming (but not really slower).
But hey there's no accounting for tastes. Play on!

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Upon some more listening, let me say I've a better appreciation for Greysky City now. SOme think it doesn't fit, but hear me out.
It strikes me as a sort of Guy Ritchie/Elmore Leonard caper beat underscoring a Robin Hood medieval theme. I love it.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
Thanks for posting the link, I'm going to use this as an excuse to try composing out.
As for requests, can you try to make one for Roy's death at the hands of Xykon and/or the battle of Azure City?
Edit: Oh yeah, and, I'm obligated to tell you that you are made of pure win for thinking of this idea.Last edited by Vahir; 2012-02-08 at 08:46 PM.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
I compose a little, but I generally compose for string pieces(mainly viola, since thats what I play). If anyone wants me to, I can see what I can make.

Re: The OotS Soundtrack Project
So ScubaGoomba and I are interested in starting a full-scale project here, getting a whole bunch of different people involved and pumping out tons of music. You up for it OP?
