NIMC#2: Veritas et Aequitas

Share Download this loop

Author Comments

This is my second submission for the Newgrounds Inspired Music Contest, "Veritas et Aequitas". This was originally intended as a boss theme for MindChamber when I first started on the track. I'm not sure by the end if it was a fitting song for MindChamber, so perhaps just a general boss theme?

For inspiration I kept picturing the visual style of the game "Perdition"; the industrial wastelands sci-fi look, even though I went in a different direction musically.

EDIT #1: June 4th
I changed the volume of a couple of instruments. Made the organs more prominent in the song, tried to increase the volume of some of the string instruments too (a couple were already loud, but some were just hanging in the background). I removed the guitar melody loop in favour of a cello version, and I also removed the keys along with a few other things in the intro. I kept a couple of the musicbox notes though.

EDIT #2: June 18th
Decided to remove the intro altogether and made the song as a looping tune now. Edited quite a bit of the volume for instruments. Made the choir at 0:15 and 2:13 actually do some chanting, though the first one is more of a quiet background piece and may go unnoticed unless you're listening out for it.

The majority of instruments used here are from Varazdin Orchestral mixed with FLStudio's VST plugins such as Harmless and PoiZone. The choir is EastWest Symphonic Choirs with WordBuilder.

Really nice composition

i really enjoyed this, but as a stage theme, it repeats abit, but not to the point of irritation, its subtle and would work well as backdrop music.. its bit too whimsy and castlecrasherish for the MindChamber robot.... Mindchamber is a robot made in the 1800s used by the Germans for war and captured by the Russians.. his stuff is more ominous with red army choir like backdrops... but you wouldn't know that cause i dont mention much of the robot anywhere..

HellboundDochi responds:

Thank you for the feedback. :) Looking back on it now, it would have been fun to have gone for a more ominous approach, and I would have loved to have made a choir heavy song.
