Preview WC Saga's Music
In order to demonstrate the musical masterpieces which will feature in WC Saga, Tolwyn and Edx have posted a couple of sample music tracks from the mod. The first track is a compilation of different tracks which will be unused in the finished product and was created to experiment with different ideas. The second track has an in-flight music theme although it may also be cut from the final mod. Composer Edx explained in more detail.
The ‘Unused Ideas’ track is essentially three different tracks stitched together. None of these will feature in either the Prologue or the full campaign. I made them to try and get a feel for how I wanted the music to go. I felt the first section started sounding more Freelancer than Wing Commander, the second section was too ‘happy’ sounding to me, and more like WC4 than WC3 which is what I wanted, and I thought the last section sounded too much like a Star Trek score!
The Prologue originally was going to have original in-flight music, but I decided it was best to wait for the main release as it’s not just a big job to write all those different cues but you also have to make sure they all fit together musically and make sense in the game. The "in-flight" track is another example of me experimenting to see how I would approach this. While the main campaign’s music will likely sound quite different than it, it’s probably the most Wing Commander sounding! Anyway, I thought some of you might find the ‘outtakes’ interesting. So, thanks for listening!
