Hey TeamLiquid! This is DoubleReed, also known as The Troubadour. I have been making music inspired from various units from Starcraft 2. You can see them at my YouTube channel here:
You can actually download the compositions over at soundcloud. Here's a link to the set: Starcraft Compositions
I'm looking to get into video game music, and am currently working on several more pieces. Many of my pieces use real people and instruments. Ben Chapin on Clarinet is featured in my Dark Templar piece called Memory of Aiur, Ellie Falaris on Jazz Flute is featured in my Nydus Worm piece called Through the Tunnels, and Janet Blair on Oboe is featured in my Protoss Probe piece entitled "Prreow."
My most recent work is based on the Protoss Probe and is a bouncy, exciting adventure. Upcoming is a piece based on the Protoss Warp Prism.
Let me know what you think!
{EDIT: I'm just going to constantly update the OP as new tracks come in}
It's really nice. I'm not a music major or anything so I can't critique how you modified your motives, and progressed. But from my standpoint, it was pretty awesome, and I could definitely imagine a DT scouting a base.
Haven't listened to a lot quite yet but what I have heard is really good. Actually capturing the "feel" of a unit with music seems difficult but you have done it quite well. Huge props.
Listened to all the tracks, and they're really great. The Obs and Zealot tracks are my particular favorites. I love the mix of more classical instruments with synth/keyboard-y stuff. Gives it a fairly unique sound.
One comment about the DT track though, is that in the middle(particularly starting around 1:20 on thru 1:50) it seems a little too, for lack of a better work, bouncy to be Dark Templar-y. I can get a feeling of Aiur for it, but maybe not thru the DT's eyes. The rest of the track is spot on for DTs imo. Dark and mysterious.
Hey guys! Just uploaded the recent track to my youtube channel: Through the Tunnels, based around the Nydus Worm. This uses a lot more ambient effects and fragmented melody. Also stars a friend of mine as a solo flutist!
The newest installment of my Units of Starcraft album is based on the Protoss Mothership and it is called The Vortex! This piece was inspired by Tron. Check it out!
Hey everyone! The latest piece of mine is about the Probe, with my friend Janet Blair on oboe. Here is "Prreow" or "How I Lost My Scouting Probe To A Zergling Rush"! Enjoy!!!
