Music for the mod

[Rodion Romanovich]

I'm working on a victory music ATM, expect a download link soon... I decided to get rid of the horns of the apocalypse as marching music, so instead I based part of the victory music piece on that theme. Might be a little too much minor tunes at the start, but every time I tried to make a victory music that started out with happy tunes, I failed miserably. This piece instead starts out quite sad, but ends in a triumphal crescendo...

Here we go, victory music: -- REMOVED --

I don't know for myself, but apparently the keys of G major and G minor are the best for making a piece feel epic.

The new piece is very, very quiet. The horns still need to go, but about the piece itself...I don't think it works. There isn't enough triump in there. This might just be because of the crappy quality of the midi, but there is definitely something missing. A good start, though - screw around with it, maybe?

Edit: I uploaded a new victory music here but deleted again.

The quiet sound is, I have now realized, caused by the conversion to mp3 by the current recording method I'm using. It sounded a lot more powerful in the program, but lost all force in the conversion process. I attempted a new recording method for this piece, but it turned out even more awful. But this new piece is a lot more powerful than the last. Hopefully the previous recording music, that was awful but still less awful than the new one, will make it some kind of justice. I've removed the link until I can record it again with a better recording method.

Still suffered in the conversion, but probably a lot better than the last one:
Victory music (G minor): http://rapidshare.de/files/4215193/victory2.MP3.html

I think the feeling of this piece is well suited for the task. Volume needs to be increased a lot for it to sound good, but it's adapted to the defeat music, so if you keep the same volume that was required to hear the harps in the defeat music, this piece sounds quite good IMO.

(The combo multiple timpanis + harps + violoncello + double bass with full volume - fff - sounds very powerful )

BTW, I found out how to edit velocity now. And speed... Now the real composing work begins ...

Edit: Good news, from now on I've found a way of doing the conversion without losing as much quality etc. Will apply it on my next piece, if I make one.

Had an idea. If you don't mind loosing minimal quality, we could have mp3's in the installation package and I could make a script unpacking these to .wav files. This way it won't be a 700 mb file to download, but the music files rather 1/11 of the original size.
