Hostiles

DeepShadows · August 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">NS techno mix</div> You can get it at:

<a href='http://mobianwarrior.tripod.com/monster/hostiles.ZIP' target='_blank'>http://mobianwarrior.tripod.com/monster/hostiles.ZIP</a>

For some reason with me, it only works if you copy/paste the link, rather than clicking on it.

EDIT:
<i> Tyralion was nice enough to put up a <a href='http://www.ville.nu/hosting/hostiles.ZIP' target='_blank'>MIRROR</a> link for the song. If the first link does not work, use this one.</i>
/EDIT

I did this to learn my new software. It is nowhere near my best piece of anything but, I figured my test song might as well have a natural selection theme.

ANYWAY, in this song listen for:

NS theme song clip
Fade, marine chatter, skulk genocide, scan sweep, the old siege fire, hive chatter, distress beacon, spores, um... and other stuff

Primely, in the middle of the song: the drums get really heavy. Suprisingly, the really bassy drum is the shutgun sound effect. You'd never know. Also, in there is the old "spit" sound of the grenade launcher before 2.0, all as drums.

Oh, and skulk bite. Can't forget that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

- Enjoy. Someone get it on NS Radio, and tell me if you do.

aaaand dono, read my unofficial transition piece from 1.0 to 2.0:

^_^ I feel the love. Though it was much a test, and I plan on going and making a much better version (with sterio, I couldn't figure out how to do that when I wrote this.) I still glad tis liked. Comments and slanders, whatever you might want to say, is/am/will/can/are welcome...

... one of those should fit.

Bandwitch exceeding or something. Sound like an enteresting techno mix, but I asure you that it isn't anything like that i've heard from NOCTURNAL WONDERLAND! (orchestra plays) Hahah..just got back from it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Heck I got to this a few hours after I saw it got put up and the bandwidth was already shot, he didn't lie about it being low. I guess I'll just wait till a mirror from those lucky first few, sounds like a good description, I gotta start modding the NS ambience music again...

Tyralion · August 2003

Nifty song! I like it! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Very nice work indeed that you used all those different NS sounds to sound like a beat. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>
I have some constructive critiscism and that being that you should include more sequences (like the one in the beginning) so that there isn't just drums and skulk bites in the middle. Like an ambient sound in the background. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Again, nifty song.

And of course:

/me likes very much

Vash_Fourty_Five_Lc · August 2003

And as expected, a nifty mirror is up. Thanks Tyralion. Wow that was quite an intresting piece. Great stuff, really innovative! Thats a totaly different direction then what I try.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Cookiehs to you good sir!

DeepShadows · August 2003

Tyralion, thanks for the imput. I really do agree with you. I'm usually very, very picky when it comes to what I write. This was a fast test at my new software, though, and I figured I might as well contribute to the NS community while I was at it.

I'll make a good, decent, thought out piece as soon as I get the chance. Thx again - <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Kombot · August 2003

Please tell me what software you used. I have a korg triton keyboard, and want something to make music on the computer as well. My parents bought the keyboard for $3000 so they won't really mind shelling out some for whatever this application is <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

BTW, the song kicks a$$

LoRDxDeMoN · August 2003

wow, this song is awesome, love it!

Bosnian_Cowboy · August 2003

If this isn't your best piece then I want every other piece of music you ever made on my hard drive.

CplDavis · August 2003

mmmmmmmmm Bassy

Agreed. If I was making a singleplayer map/mod for NS, I'd beg you to give me a modified form of this soundtrack without some alien sounds for use as background music. It's that good.

kms2709 · August 2003

I almost had an orgasm listening to that, since i'm a huge fan of that sorta music. Very nice work.
This would be awesome music to use in a Natural Selection video/demo/commercial. =).

Quaunaut · August 2003

Man, this song kicks ****!!!

Oh man, I'm putting this in my "Music" folder for NS, because you can hear everything around the aliens, so it won't get me.

You did a GREAT, WONDERFUL job with this man. I love the feel.

10/10, 100%, Kick-**** product. D/L this, PLEASE!

Also, if I were you, I'd contact NSPlanet or something like that, and have this song go into their "NS Songs" page.

Josiah_Bartlet · August 2003

Well done that man.

I take my hat off to you.

Paranoia2MB · August 2003

Pretty good mix..doesn't sound like techno to me though. Oh well

OttoDestruct · August 2003

I hate to be the critical... *whips out Monseuary* teenangster. But its not my cup of tea. A lot of the sounds from ingame just seem thrown in randomly (the spores, bites, fade), but some of them are just plain awesome (pings, distress beacon). I. Love. The. Bass. If you were to remix this nixing some of the sounds, this would go on my MP3 list. But as it is its just not my taste. Worth a download and a listen though.

FrickenMoron · August 2003

It's nice but for me it's kinda more like industrial not techno :/

KeitaroSempai · August 2003

Sounds like the group "Stomp Out Loud" ^o^

Great song! =D

Exactly. But it's still cool.

SeraphyGoodness · August 2003

Definately more industrial than techno, but i love it even more because of that.

Now... If you could make a longer version, about 5-6 mins long, with more beaty/dancy bits, i'd be able to get it played at my local cyber/Industrial club (theres at least one other NS player who goes there)..

Please?
pwetty pwease?

ViPr · August 2003

i fricken love how you used the game's sound effects as musical instruments but it doesn't sound like techno to me and its mostly just percussion. you need to add some more tune or melody on top of it with like synth strings or something.

moultano · September 2003

Very nice. Its a little too long for the number of themes in it, but its a good listen. See how adding a lot of reverb to the alien voices sounds. Right now a lot of them don't blend in all that well. The "now we donce" in the middle is great.

DeepShadows · September 2003

Wow... I suddenly have self-esteem again.

Noticed some of you commenting on the musical structure in this. It... has very little. Since it was really just my test of sound consepts, this was all it was meant to be. But, like I said, I will actually compose a "real" song as soon as I get time. I'm actually suprised people liked this as much as they do.

So... w00. Thank y00
