In Need of Composers?

[zanzibar]

Cool.  So T.A.V. spend their time on code instead?

[havok20x]

I'll get this stuff to you guys ASAP

I am not on the team, so i can't speak for them...but coming from a musical background i definitely think it would be very cool to have both. Perhaps the more medieval period ensembles for local places such as Kada-Els and other taverns and then the full-orchestra arrangements for the wilds  

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

[havok20x]

oh!  Man, oh, man!  Can this stuff be really epic sounding?  Think Gustav Holst (The Planets) meets James Newton Howard.

That would probably depend on when it will be played. In many cases it is background music, and it should stay background for most of the time. Some areas that you only visit for a shorter time and just run through more epic music might work.

OOOOOH or some Mahler influences...i really really REALLY love Mahler. 

[havok20x]

I also love Mahler, but everyone where I live think he's horrible.  Symphony 7....wow...man.  My favorite composer, though, is Brahms.  His stuff is just brilliant.

[Anumesa]

Brahms \o/ I really dont own as much of his stuff as i should, though i would kill to see any of it performed live. I am admittedly a sucker for Mahler 2 (I think its the big ending that gets me), and his 8th is just haunting in the second half, i think its the "Waldung Sie Schwankt Heran"..he is definitely my favorite composer of the moment 

Anyways, i hope your stuff gets ingame, it sounds like it would be really cool

[havok20x]

LoL, well, we will see...lol...

I actually talked with Talad about this once, because the team was asking for "period" sounding music appropriate to the middle ages, but the majority of music in the game was in no way period-sounding.  Talad said that the music the game currently had was fine.

That makes me giggle, because at the log-in screen, I'm reminded of Harry Potter, and while in Kada-El, I am reminded of Robin Hood and Maid Marian I have no real comment about the in-game music, considering that I usually spin my own [techno] tracks while in-game, but for many, they may probably enjoy hearing more period-type background music. I am curious to see what would change, musically.....

Gotta say, in my humble opinion, I think Bartók-esque stuff would be great for the temples and odd places but Satie would be the way to go for the average journey stuff.

Stravinsky for the battle music!  Schoenberg for the death realm!  Zappa for the character generator!
