Dubbed version 0.2 but I quite like it as it is. Only one small error where one section increases in volume near the end but it's nothing major a second render won't fix. That will be done once my new rig is up and running.
Pulse of Orion - Battle Scene 1
This is a "remix" of the battle music in the first Final Fantasy game. Been listening to a lot of the series' music recently and decided that this one could translate quite well into trance. Brilliant feedback so far.
I guess what I wanted to do is try to imagine what this piece would sound like if it were to be produced again for a modern update (without the Black Mages style rock
)
I used synths for all instruments. Unintentionally, I picked a rather retro-square based sound for the arping background, which on further listening, I feel really adds to the track! You first hear it at 1.09 and it does it's first solo at 1.14. The rest are simply custom, generic, saw-based sounds.
Very simple sequencing; the melodies just repeats over a few times before a fade out. I think the rather rapid BPM of 160 (which is very high for me!) helps keep it flowing though.
The song opens with a dark pad that I used to try and engage a slight feeling of danger before the (familiar if you know it) bass intro kicks in. From there, it builds up to the main melodies.
Enjoy.
