I posted my 'Weaponry EP' before now .. which was met by largely nice comments and mummurs of ascent and approval :P But I don't think I ever showed this alternate version of 'Blades Theme'.

This theme was made first but when I showed it to the author that I'm working for we both ageed it's just a little too depressed and sad to be right for the character. I eventually reworked the theme into a much happier version but I rather liked this version.

I really should write some more themes on these guys. Actually I owe the author a symphony .. writing that based on her new fantasy trilogy series. It's good fun to write for and I feel this orchestral music has been some of my best. Definitely some of my deepest.

Anyways, hope you like.

Blades Theme (Alternative Version)

Utilizing pretty much my entire VSL library :P and mixed in PT10 with VSL suite. Omnisphere used here and there for atmospheric pads.

I'm not sure what space this was though there's a good possiblity it is Teldex as that's my default venue. I do sometimes switch to the Mozart Saal (wide/far) but often Teldex has the right sound for me.

I do also tend to use some of the built in Algo-reverb from the VI itself, so that helps with space. The finished version of this track .. which was extensively re-written .. ended up using a slightly deeper sound but I rather liked how this one is by itself. I really should give this a MIR mix at some point, just haven't had much time to play with that. Anyways, glad you liked it, it's always great to hear nice feedback.
