Sailing Destiny

By Ashtom on July 15, 2012 10:35 pm

I'm into making soundtracks these days and this one would fit in a RPG kind of game.
I pictured the hero or the party of heroes leaving on a ship heading towards unexpected adventures.
I'll probably continue making some other soundtrack music since I need to practice and create material for future games (I'm also into making video games).
Don't worry about the break, it's more to make the track less boring and I don't think I would leave it in-game in the end.

I think it needs a bit less straight-ahead repetition of the ideas to function in the way you've described. It's a good piece, just needs a little tweaking. Perhaps a nice strong melody to come out of those arpeggios?

Sits nicely in he background.  Bit crunch in middle pretty crazy.  As vinpous says... feels like it could take a break from the main appeg.  If this were a game you'd be "aarhg" after 20 mins :-P    (although if it were end music I guess it'd be fine)

Thanks for the comments! Yes I think you're right it gets too repetitive and I'm sad I couldn't come up with that strong melody. It's purpose its indeed to sit on the background but no to last 20 minutes. It's more about supporting a cut-scene sequence. If I ever have the time to refine it, I'll probably try to make something out of the piano arpeggio at the end.

nice incidental! indeed.
