My video game soundtrack

My friend goes to a school for computer game designs...

he is working on his first person shooter game, and asked me
for a dark, ambient piece to play in the background (im
gonna edit it to be loopable in the game) but here it is
just straight through...

lemme know what you think!

my score

thanks :)

do you think it will work as music for a video game?

Its hard to tell. Have you seen the graphics or played the
demo at all? If so, then you have probably made your track
to fit the mood of the game.

If not, then is it a fast paced shooter deathmatch type of
game set on another planet? Or is it a more of a sly sneaky
first person game set in a future metropolis?

I like it, but I dunno... I can't picture this track fitting
well into the scheme of a ''first person shooter'', at least
not during gameplay. Maybe during an intro or a cutscene, it
would be effective.

If this was a survival horror game, it could fit like a
glove in many situations.

No I havnt played it... but he asked specifically for a
dark, tense ambient track... so thats what I went for.

If its not right, i told him id make a different one...

but I like it... i dunno, I havnt written an ambient peice
in awhile, and so it feels good to write it again :)

doh.

He said he wants beats in it. He just said he wanted it
ambient... but I guess he was implying ambient, a la boards
of canada, but darker

so, yeah, im gonna make a new track... ill post it here
when im done

making ambient music is soooo easy. it doesnt require much
talent, and most of the time it sounds lush. it takes skill
to make experimental and IDM. so keep makin ambience, and
giving a mellow slow drum beat can sound good. like blue
calx as an example. but i guess your going for something
dark.

it's easy to make bad music no matter what the
genre (and i should know), but whether you're talking about
idm or ambient it still takes talent to compose a quality
track

ive been making music for years, i just upgraded to a better

simple to make. im not saying its gay or nothing. i love
ambience, but still, its not hard to make!

hey, fruityloops 3, with added plugins and FX settings can
sound just as lush as any other program.

i have no doubts as to fruity loops being a good program to
work in, i know some people who make some kick ass music
with it (dmgy, if you're out there, keep it up!), but those
who see it as a fucking on-stop-shop for all your music
needs are just dumb.

"my stuff isnt that bad" - then where's the links mother
fucker? i dont believe we've heard your non-windy music yet,
TOPPLE THE TRI REPETAE!!!

I say keep the track that you have already made. Like
ophecks said: it would work great as a menu track or
transition track. But if you're going to do beats, make sure
they are sort of tribal and energy pumping. Um... yeah... :\

Anyone who thinks that good ambient music is easy to make is
quite obviously wrong and has no idea what the hell they are
talking about.

Its when you add hardware into the equation with your
computer to make something worth while in the end.

its like the late 90's revolution all over again, but
instead of everyone being a DJ everyone is now making tunes
on their comp.
