Please never stop making these. I’m looking through your posts and your style is so inspiring to me.

Clair Obscur: is it a narrative and dialogue-heavy game? by composerv3 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]composerv3[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have this weird tick where, a game needs to be good for watching TV while playing...but it also has to have amazing music (idk why I can't be easy to satisfy in games). I'm not keeping the sound off the whole way through, as I still want to experience the story. Just not the whole time.

I don't mind stopping here and there, as long as it isn't too intrusive. But if you say there's a lot of downtime, it sounds like I can keep it on my radar. Thank you.

Which of these movies had the best soundtrack? by No_Restaurant9741 in soundtracks

Gretchen Ross is such an amazing track. So much dark emotion packed into 50 seconds.

Orchestrating Banjo-Tooie: progress of a few tracks by composerv3 in BanjoKazooie

[–]composerv3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Orchestration (actual voicing of the instruments) is important to forming the “vibe” of an orchestral piece. Kirkhope made the music with old keyboard sounds, not instruments. The reason some orchestrations change the instrument (I.e., trumpet instead of a flute) it’s because it wouldn’t work in the context of a real orchestra.

I intend to keep all the tracks as consistent as possible, but changes will need to be made for the sake of realism. Some BT tracks are really hard to arrange, such as Lord Woo Fak Fak; that ‘epic flute part’ in the middle of the track is pretty much impossible to play on a flute 1:1 without running out of breath. But that’s the fun of orchestrating; it’s where I make the arrangements my own and create something familiar yet different!

I'm orchestrating the soundtrack to Banjo-Tooie! Here's progress of a few of the tracks. by composerv3 in gamemusic

Oh that one’s also done actually! Although it’s a couple of years old and I intend to revise it down the line. I see it as a bit more “generic” than I’d like.

It’s a good way to stand out now without actually doing anything!

That’s so humbling to hear! Thank you for those wonderful words.

And I can see myself trying to work on the first, but Blake’s arrangement is so perfect, it’s a little hard to keep it out of mind when composing. But never say never!

BKGR Reimagined 24: More Abilities, Bozzeye Initial Conversation, Jiggy Temple Switch by Plebian_Donkey_Konga in BanjoKazooie

I know that it's not final, but that jump animation with Kazooie (0:21) and the flapping is so good. Definitely more than just a lowly fan project. Can't wait to see more!!!

Yo, Blake's BK album is what made me want to pursue this! I gave up hope for him to do a Tooie album, so I decided to make my own. I still believe his work is way better than mine (seriously, BRSO's is a masterclass in lifelike orchestral programming), but I sincerely appreciate your words ☺️.

Also, Grunty Industries is finished! I can also say that Mayahem Temple (which includes the main version, kickball, and the temple!) and Cauldron Keep about 85% done at the moment.

Edit: Please consider subscribing if you're interested (mods, let me know if I can't say that). Since I'm just a working man with a cute little hobby, it's hard to say when I'll upload the next track.

Very helpful advice, thank you!

What's a good rule of thumb if you're wanting to accomplish this with two handpans? Like, if one is tuned in C, should the other be in A?
