I have an intro completed for the ESPORTS YouTube channel I'm working on (much thanks to those who created the intro and logo) but am having one hell of a time finding someone to do an intro sound/song to go along with it.

I have had two people submit their ideas already but they didn't quite seem to fit (I really do appreciate the effort though). I am looking for any sort of song/sound that fits the intro well (keep in mind dark colors, 'warping in' effects, etc)

I don't know if anyone on Team Liquid has mad audio skillz or not, but if you do and are willing to help I'd have MUCH <3!

Here is the intro:

There are plenty of songs that would sync well with that.

But a Pylon Warp sound would be pretty boss as Navane suggested. Look at the OSL/Proleague intros for good examples of songs that work well for these sort of things.

First thought upon seeing pic was obviously pylon warping sound (but add some other uniquness to it) because its a bit generic. Maybe some of the warp in sounds of stalkers or something in sc2 (stalker blink?), you need a fluttery, shimmering sound that leads to a climax and pops at the end imo.

Perhaps the "wap!" sound at the end too.

maybe you should also mimic the "EA sports, it's in the game" thing. (minus the A)

Yea I would put the mofo ship time bomb and then at the end the phase prism deploy.

let me whip up a few different things later and you can pick the one you like.

Yeah I was thinking of having it say ESPORTS in some manly voice at the end.

I was also contemplating the pylon warping in sound but its probably best to have just original sounds.

That EA Sports thing is one of the most annoying soundbites I know. Don't use it.

Something cool like a pylon warping in, combined with a few other electronic sounds - a buzz of electricity, followed by the sound of something powering up?
Above all, it needs to be simple and not annoying.
