Hi TeamLiquid!

For my 4000th post, I present:

[image loading]
Now available on iTunes, Spotify, CDBaby, and more!


Suite of the Swarm is an album of electronic music where each track is based on a unit from Starcraft 2. The music tries to capture the essence of the unit in whatever quirky sense that meant to me. The first track is called Prrreow (Or How I Lost My Scouting Probe To A Zergling Rush) and it's about the harrowing adventure of a scouting probe through treacherous territory. Listen to it here:

Oops, looks like your browser doesn't support the audio tag yet. You can download the file manually: http://michaelrossgoldman.com/MichaelRossGoldman-SuiteoftheSwarm-01-PrrreowOrHow.ogg

You can hear previews of the other tracks at CDBaby. There are 13 tracks here, each inspired by a unit from Starcraft II. Finally you can join a Thor Rave, Lament your lost Protoss Homeworld, and Polka with the Banelings!

Here are further descriptions of the other tracks:

+ Show Spoiler +
1. Prrreow (Or How I Lost My Scouting Probe To A Zergling Rush) is the journey of an unlucky scouting Probe, featuring the Oboist Janet Blair.

2. Finally we can see what Roaches do when they burrow in the funky jam Party In The Underground. The track features Neil Brown on Piccolo Trumpet.

3. Monster Daydream is a lilting melody of an Overlord as he watches over the hive cluster.

4. The Explosion Polka is a wild dance of Banelings.

5. We can now experience all the lights and sounds that a Thor pilot experiences in Thor, Rave of Thunder.

6. Homeworld Lament showcases the emotions of the Dark Templar being cast from his own Homeworld of Aiur. This track features Ben Chapin on Clarinet.

7. Travel through the loneliness of space, drifting and watching in The Lonely Observer.

8. Into the Vortex sends you tumbling into the chaotic forces of the Mothership's Vortex.

9.Explore the dank, dark depths of a Nydus Worm in Through The Tunnels. This track features Ellie Falaris Ganelin on Flute.

10. The Zealots march to war in March of the Zealous.

11. The Hybrid terrify and annihilate all in their path in Ambush of the Hybrid.

12. Zerglings rush in, hitting hard and fast in Metabolic Boost.

13. The Zerglings continue swarming from all directions in Adrenal Rush. This track features Brad Gunson on Electric Guitar and Jonathan Zepp on Bassoon.


So check it out! Let me know what you think! (Don't be afraid to buy the album. It's only 5 bucks.) Enjoy!

Good Luck and Have Fun,
DoubleReed

(Oh, and in case you're curious, the album art was done by my brother, Evan Goldman)

This is awesome! Do you have any thoughts on people using this music on streams if we credit you for the music somewhere?

Because they paid money to TL to have it here. That's how the sponsored section works.

I'm charging money for it (even if it's only $5) so a normal thread would be advertising which isn't allowed.

Hey DoubleReed, the tracks are really nice, hope they get some love! Good work overall.

Though I'll be honest, the format of the thread doesn't really want to make me read it, and I'm sure many people will click away before they even get a feel for what the music is even about.

I recommended adding another graphic or two, and embedding (I believe there's an [ audio ] [/ audio ] BCCode) a track or two (or preview) on Teamliquid would help as well. People don't like having to be redirected to another site, and it also takes longer, which will get some to lose interest before they understand your content.

I actually quite like this, personally I prefer the composition over some of the instrumentation as some is very oldschool 8bit sounding, but that's obviously the intent so I can't complain too much.

Can the music/production nerd in me get a bit of background over what you used for these tracks?

I use Sibelius to write music out. It's a notation program and I compose chamber music so I've gotten very used to it. I use Reason for all electronic stuff and mix in real instruments with Audacity.

Great stuff man. Listened to all of them. I get a sort of sonic fushion vibe from the songs. Thanks for your efforts!
