You think you're safe and drop your guard a little, but as you do, you realize you have been lured into a trap by the enemy. In an instant, from slinking covertly through enemy territory you are forced to dive and crawl through a hailstorm of bullets. Fists clenched and gritting your teeth, you steel your resolve to survive, knowing that any moment that next bullet could be your reaper.


---- Backstory continued from previous piece ----
This piece is what resulted from the realization that my friend needed something faster paced to serve as a background theme for battles and/or general gameplay.


After I had written it, I wanted to see how it works as background music. I fired up one of my favorite games - World of Tanks. What better way to test music meant for action packed moments than playing it in the background of an action packed game, right? As it turned out - big mistake! I ended up having one of the most heart-pounding matches to date... and the music only poured oil on that fire!


I even made a video showing what happened. It started innocent and run of the mill, but by the second half of it, a crazy 1 vs 4 struggle ensued. I included this piece looping in the background in an attempt to recreate the feel of the moment as the events unfolded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_WNy5xRGA&feature=youtu.be


Needless to say, I decided to turn the music off for any further matches that day.


My friend had one more request after I submitted this to him - which required me to first do a little bit of research as these were uncharted waters for me. Stay tuned for the final piece!


Note: I modified the end of the loop a little to post this piece here as too much residual sound wrapped around, making it awkward on first play.

Awesome work and progression along with well-balanced sounds.
With the video link provided, it makes more sense and gives the real feel of tension.
Can easily imagine this in any action/strategy game or scene.
Keep em coming.

Thanks! As I've already said, there's one more left from this series that I will post next week, and then I'll see if I can get anything else done in that time. There's at least a few pieces I have on the back burner that I could come back to and finish, or I could pull through with a fresh start. I need to make it a habit to complete and release a little more often - it should help me grow in a lot of ways.
