Hello everybody, I decided to get this out pretty early. It's been many years since I've composed/created music, so I thought an ambiance/texture/sound-scape would be a good way to get back into it. There isn't much of musical content here, mainly sound effects and a tension buildup.
I'd love to hear what you guys think. If you have nice headphones, you may want to try with or without. I tried to mix it a bit on my laptop speakers and it sounds pretty thin :( First time composing for games so feel free to criticise and share what you think would improve this for games (looping etc). I think if your engine permits it, it would be pretty easy to fade-in, fade-out this ambiance.
Cheers,

A very good one! Atmospheric indeed.
Thx. I'm working on something new, but I kinda went pretty atonal and there's some serialism inspiration too... I'm not too sure if it would be useful here. Anyways, more coming :)
Love the feeling! Makes me wish we had proper music categorization here on OGA :)
PS: is it possible to share the "souce" files? (And would you be interested in doing so?)
Thx for that :)
Unfortunately no it isn't possible, for 2 reasons. 1, I am giving these songs free, so I'm sure you'll understand I want to keep some things to myself :) And 2, the license of a plugin I use doesn't allow it. If you have particular needs you can always ask though.
Can I ask what you would need my session files for?
I had no plans. I'm just curious to look at how various dark/ambient music projects look like.
I'm just asking in case the project files are easy to share and the artists don't mind. (To have both at the same time is rare :) )
No problem. With sound design, a midi file wouldn't do much, it is all about layering, effects, delays etc. And sharing that would be... too much of an insight in my creation process :) Even in payed contracts the session files, the mix and masteing is never shared. It's pretty much the holy grail of a sound-designer/mixer/composer.
Great piece of ambient music :)
I used it in my Voxel engine demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWgCJM6MLMU (unfortunatly the sound came out a bit low in the recording)
I'll be using this in a game I'm currently making!
lmk if you want to be credited!
You must, it's required by the license ;)
Best of luck with you game! Hope it's succesful.
