The Crane Kung Fu School Of Funk
By Kedbreak136 on February 13, 2022 4:40 am
Inspired by the art of a new video game called Sifu, and influenced by a random mix of movies from Kung Fu Hustle, Big Trouble in Little China, to old 70s kung fu movies, I made this Funky Kung Fu track. The Crane Kung Fu School of Funk keeps the key of the funky style of martial arts and has to defend it from other schools. Of course, I spent most of the time on the mid-section with the fight. All samples were one shot samples put together to suggest a fierce battle, with broken walls, powerful slaps, broken bottles, swords, and, of course, the ancient Dragon Kiss artifact, which really is a rusty flamethrower.
I also usually rely on full drum loop samples, but for this one I programmed the main drum beats as well as the beat during the fight scene (using the Armageddon patch from Damage). That was a good learning experience.
I wish I had Suona (the reed like Chinese trumpet) samples or soundfont and knew how to make the Chinese cymbals sound more traditional, but this is a step in the right direction.
