Not gonna lie I thought about how I could come on an say " was taking a little break " but the truth was I tried n tried to write something last week but it was either crap or I was like "oh thats quite it could probably be improved" but I ended up scrapping alot of stuff.
Knowing that I was up against the dreaded writers block. I spent the weekend , as long as I could listening to music.
Last night I turned music back on and picked up the guitar and this is what came out.
The Evil That Men Do
Hello Zepp (Saw Theme) [Charlie Clouser]
The Catalyst (Demo) [Linkin Park]
---------------------------------------------
Wrote " Manacles " whilst having my dinner. It struck me that though I describe some tracks as " Two Steps from Hell-like " I haven't tried my hand at writing Movie Trailer music...so this is what it is...its there if you want a listen.
CIAO!
damn bro, these tracks are beast. i really luv "The Evil That Men Do"... that track sounds like a wicked ass symphony from hell :)... and "Hello Zepp" is EPIC (very goddamn impressive).
Love the piano opening on The Evil That Men Do (great title, btw). Would work great on a Resident Evil game (the REAL ones with zombies, not the overrated shit they put out now lol)
Hello Zepp- Great intro as usual that for some reason makes me think of something from the Metroid series. I LOVE the plucked bass samples. Beat is awesome once it comes in. Great use of the deep space EP softsynth sample.
Is The Catalyst a cover? It shows up as Linkin Park in Winamp, so not sure. I don't listen to current music so I wouldn't know, but sounds good regardless. Interested in seeing how this turns out. Good sample choices.
If you wrote Manacles while having dinner, I wanna know what you were eating!
Great work all around...keep it up!
A big thank you to Z n F2S for the comments. Really glad you liked em guys.
@F2S - thanks alot m8. With the Evil That Men Do it was one of the classic Knowlesy " hmmm I dunno " I think that with the number of segments and changes I didn't really know what to make of it. Most tracks I do have a repetitive main melody or chord progression with one or more layered melodys to keep up the interest. But it has really grown on me.
Zepp - I'd really have to agree here , my favourite part is just after the intro with the plucked bass. I was really going for the sort of pluck cello sound to build into the string section.
Catalyst - Yeh its a cover mate , its pretty much the ending of the song. The whole throw is pads and sfx which should'nt (I hope) be to hard I just wanted to make sure I could actually get the sound for the synth. Sat with my guitar an tabbed it out on youtube , so I really was'nt sure if it was accurate lol.
Manacles - lol I was eating Pizza...and it was good...got a bit cold towards the end. :(
