I was asked to write one of those classic "Epic" pieces... you know, the ones full of I, IV, V, and sometimes that chord referred to as vi... a booming bassline... strings like honey... and, of course, unison en masse between violins and horns, the primary being up an octave. :3

This is one of those songs that sat as a WIP for a while before I took it on in earnest, and I am rather pleased how it came out. Do note that this is designed to be a game loop and is thus SHORT. I am considering making a song version for all you fellow classical nuts out there who want some meat to their music.

Feel free to share any thoughts on this piece or images it brings up... or use it in a non-commercial game! (just contact me if you want to use it commercially, okay?)

You may note a small bump at the start... that is because this piece is designed to be a completely seamless loop... that's just the reverb at the end of the LAST measure going back onto the start of the first. If you listen in a good player, you'll not even hear the transition back to the start.

EDIT: Added Contrabass for more fun/better mxi.

Either title theme or RPG overworld. Very high quality. Like Nobuo Uematsu meets Hans Zimmer.

samulis responds:

Thanks man, I really wanted to draw from both the film and the game score world in the style I chose for this.

Great Job!, clever use of octaves!, makes it sound "epic" indeed, But I still think that you must use more string staccatos, I liked it a lot!...

P.S. I use FL Studio, If you do, you'll have to teach me how to make loops ;3

Very nice work man, keep it up!

samulis responds:

Hey there, thanks for the review. I should look into using SS more; I use them more as accents of the melody line.

Regrettably, I use Finale, so I am afraid I can't teach you how to do it in FL.

Thanks again!

Amazing loop! I'd really want to use it in my game project but it's just too epic for anything I currently am implementing. (I'm making a fantasy/magic multiplayer strategy game so it mostly requires background/overworld music = /)

I'm sure someone will find use for this amazing piece though!

samulis responds:

Hey there,

I'm glad to hear you like the piece. Tell me if you need help with that score, I do original scores too. I've actually received messages from several people about using this song already, and I hope more folks are interested. :)
