Thomasdw Posted May 8, 2011 Author Posted May 8, 2011 Yes I noticed you entered the contest, congratulations on winning it. I love the design and hope to be able to create equally good music for it!
Thomasdw Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 This sounds like an excellent oppurtunity! Right now I can't think of a need for it, as I'm not making any videos, but if you check my park I'm sure that at some point in the future I'd love to recruit your help. If you need some music, I'd be happy to compose it for you. I'm quite busy working on the requests I have at the moment, so it's no problem at all that you don't have anything yet. And here's an update on the music for SoCalCoasters: Link After that, (when the train goes backwards through the station) it'll change a bit. The part that's already finished will also be changed a bit (mostly to sync it better to the ride).
SoCalCoasters Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Great Job! This sounds better and better every time! Thanks so much!
Thomasdw Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 Thank you, it's great that you like it, It's been a lot of work, but worth it. Composing POV music is a lot of fun, because it forces me to be more creative. Here's a 'rough' version of the music finished: Link Now I'm going to work on the details, add in a bit of variation (especially 1:11 - 1:25) and sync it to the ride. I thought it would be good idea to add some tension to the backwards part, after you go through the station, but if that's not what you have in mind than I can change it to be more like the rest of the theme. I've also started work on the Superman Theme for sfgamguy. Link
Thomasdw Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 I've finished work on the Superman Theme. Link. It was an interesting project, I've never composed anything like it before. I will now start working on the themes for gci2011.
Thomasdw Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Alright, I'm working on the final touches of SoCalCoaster's theme and I made a piece for my own RCT park. It's a small piece, it didn't take a lot of work, but if someone is interested in the theme, you can use it for your own park if you'd like. I'm a horrible RCT player and I never finish anything. I'll also start making some 'generic' music, like Oriental, Space etc. type themes that can be used by anyone, to add to the existing list of RCT 2 & 3 pieces. I might not be able to reach the same quality, but I'll try to fill in some missing gaps. Oh and totally off topic: I visited Toverland yesterday and count me in as a coaster 'lover'. I thought Troy was absolutely amazing with the laterals and ejector air, never experienced anything like it (with the exception of Goliath in Walibi World, but that was a lot of years ago). Boosterbike was pretty cool too, really good family ride with some nice floater air. The junior coaster, however, was pretty uncomfortable. My back still hurts.
Ace Of Spades Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I actually really liked that Pirate piece, nice work!
Thomasdw Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks, I think it's not that bad either, but it was something I composed in only 10 or 15 minutes without much attention to details. The theme for SoCalCoasters is finished by the way! Link I can take some new requests now, so if anyone wants some music for their RCT park or ride, let me know!
Thomasdw Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 It would be nice if I could get a response from SoCalCoasters! It took me a lot of free time to compose that theme, It'd be a shame if it's left unused. Other than that, I've bought some new software (percussion). Everything percussion related (Epic Orchestral / Jungle themes etc.) will sound a lot better from now on. I'll see if I can make some short pieces. And I'm still waiting for new requests!
tiger01 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Hi again Thomas. I've sent SoCal a Message on SGW about the completed music. Just hope he reads it! Anyway, Can I have another piece of music for my new ride Woodcutter. Here are some pictures.Shot1433.bmpShot1440.bmp It's a B&M invert and it's not exactly a story based ride but a nice little theme tune would do nicely. Thanks
Thomasdw Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Sure, no problem. Would it be okay if I used my new percussion software for this? It's basically 'epic trailer music' type of drums.
tiger01 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Sure, no problem. Would it be okay if I used my new percussion software for this? It's basically 'epic trailer music' type of drums. Use what ever you want.
Thomasdw Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 I've finished a theme, I hope you like it. I kind of used tree / forest theming and created a theme that has a kind of grotesque 'fantasy' feel to it, I hope it fits the ride. Here's the link.
SoCalCoasters Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Sorry to bring this back from the dead, I just wanted to say a very belated Thanks! I've been so busy I completely forgot to upload the ride with the music, but here it is! Absolutely spectacular! Once again, THANKS!
