Shadowlands - Level music

andrewjbryson

Hi Gang

Ive been asked to write music for an upcoming game , which should be converted to the X-box and a few other platforms.
The game is being written in XNA, which is a Microsoft game-ing language.

The game is called Shadowlands - Its a platform game.

The main character Peter, is a vampire who cruises around sucking blood. Niccce

The game is 3 months from completion.

So far I have done the first 2 level's backtracks. Still needs to be mastered and stuff, but these are the main ideas.

The game requires several of these tracks for the levels, then additional Theme/Menu/credits music.

Comments appreciated

Sounds good Andrew

Has an eerie, melancholic feel to it, and as usual, excellent playing, production etc.

Good stuff

Wow Andrew, that is fantastic!
I hope GFSA ban you from entering comp on the forum, since you are now writing music for international platforms!

Great work Drew!

Conrad

That is well composed especially for it's purpose. It is dark and eerie like the others said but still maintains the instrumental guitar specialist quality. I would say this is really well done. I would buy it for inspiration.

Very well done AJB!

I can't help getting that "Look behind you" feeling, like someone is creeping up behind me.... ☹

Very nice Andrew - you've captured the shadow mood perfectly. Slick arrangement and production.

@Inflames - I thought the Internet had no boundaries ?

I love the dark and ominous feel it has to it. Well done on creating the "Vampire" ambiance.

Cool, dig the ominous piano and little creaky stereo echo sounds esp on track 2. Sounds totally professional (as if it wouldn't.)

This is awesome. When I first got into music it was metal but specifically I wanted to find music tracks like this all the time lol ? Loved game theme music... well, I still do lol.

Andrew, there's something very interesting going on here in the way you combine rock and electronica. And those drum patterns - almost like that never-ending sort of cool jazz thing you hear in clubs and bars, where the melodies are minimal and most of the interest and movement is in the drum patterns. Very interesting to hear these different elements juxtaposed in this way.

Hahaha, Drew, have you been taking lessons from the ghost of Rachmaninov?! Nice, I like. Very cool. And well done for landing the gig.

Dammit man you get a good tone...

Well done!!

arthurbrigg

uhm... WOW!!!!! I love the driving rhythm and really cool tones on the guitars. I can imagine playing the game and how the music would elevate the excitement. Respek!

Andrew, how about a update on this project?

Conrad

*Bump

inflames

Ha Ha you bumped another members post ?

Conrad

Sorry ?

I just really love these compositions and want to see it get out there and heard

Andrew is better at this than he knows and that is part of his charm. This should be sold internationally I think.
