Before War - 2Nd Epic Track

Hi again!

It's time again for me to present you my latest work!

The track is called "Before War" and it took me 2 days to complete it. Therefore I would like to mention that there might be some mistakes in the track that should have been fixed before the music went online but as this track was part of a competition (write a classical/epic track in 2 days), I tried as fast as I could to produce something that reflects my ideas.

The basic idea for this track was a scene of King Arthur. The battle hasn't started yet but you can feel it in the air that something is totally wrong, that someone might not be able to see the next day.

On the other side I tried to implement the theme of total release.

Please feel free to comment your suggestions and your critics as it helps me to improve my music!

Cheers!

Thank you for this compliment! Yes it was Age of Empires I had in mind when I composed the main theme and the intro!

It sort of reminded me of AOE likewise. I loved it.

The music creates the following scene in my mind:

The scene starts with darkness falling upon the land as a drum slowly beats out. A bird rustles and takes off from a rapidly dying tree. Suddenly into view marches the forces of darkness. They hold flags with the symbol of their dark overlord. The heavily armored forces march onward, large hairy beasts dragging their weapons of war.

The scene changes to serene green rolling hills backed by mountains. The grass shines. Black foreboding clouds soar overhead, with white edges.

The sun is setting. The sky is orange, pink, and red. Calm rivers flow down the hills from the mountains. A small village is set against rocky mountains with snowy summits. Further down the slopes of the mountain from the village, brave men of various ages come forth from the village and draw up their defenses.


All in all, I loved it.

Thank you very much for this great compliment Addictgamer!

I wanted to create a short cg animated movie to this track but as you know time ran out, but I am blown away that you have the very same scene in mind! When I composed this track I had the very same idea!

I am delighted that you love this track! As you know I had to finish it within two days, otherwise I would have done a littlebit more to it, but stay tuned! There's an epic conlcusion coming, telling the story of the battle and who will be the winner, good or evil!^^

You're welcome, the track earned it.

Wow. Well, I always knew music tells a story but never did I know it tells the same story to multiple listeners!

I'm staying tuned! To assure that, here, I'm gonna throw away the remote. ;P

Thanks a lot! This really means a lot to me, so I will try even harder to accomplish my goal with the next track. I would like that the listener can feel the tension and in the end the heroic battle. It will take some time but I am already making some progress here and there! ;)

As one of my main supporters I am really delighted that you took this final step! Throwing away your remote is a hard almost irreversible step xD
