Bombcast Break Theme

Added by Hamst3r on Oct. 18, 2009

| |

A few of you wanted to hear my take on the Bombcast break theme. It took me a few days to figure out how I wanted to approach such a fine composition.

I changed the oom-pah tone the music had into a kind of daydream sound so that it would work for the upcoming indie film about 4 guys in Sausalito who get sent to bed without any supper and soon find themselves whisked away to a magical dreamland of fun and adventure.

Bombcast Theme orchestrated

Added by Hamst3r on Oct. 14, 2009

| |

This is the Bombcast theme done as though it were to be used in a movie or game. Perhaps the Giant Bomb military-themed FPS coming out 2010, based on real events.

I took some liberty with the timing and arrangement, but hey, that's what has to be done.

Three Square Meals of Stale Regrets

Added by Hamst3r on Sept. 18, 2009

| |

Do you remember the film The Italian Job? I’m talking about the 2003 remake, not the 1969 original. More specifically, do you remember the style of music it had?

Well, this is kind of like that. It’s orchestral film score style stuff with Middle East, Spanish and Jazz influences. There’s also a touch of electronic music in there too.

A strings ensemble, upright bass, horn and acoustic guitar alongside synths and clicky electronic drums.

Check it out:

Defense Mechanisms

Added by Hamst3r on Sept. 14, 2009

Hey, got some new epic-sounding stuff here. :) This track is a continuation of the ideas I expressed in the tracks, “Chaos out of Nothingness” and “Ablation Cascade”.

There’s a moody cinematic quality to it all with influences being pulled from industrial and film score. The track is mostly comprised of synth drones, dissonant noise and drums. There’s also a piano, some strings and brass to balance it all out.

Check it out:

Psychedelic Mind Surfing Love Parade (err...new music)

Added by Hamst3r on Sept. 4, 2009

I has two new music tracks for yous.

Influence Of Mind

Influence Of Mind takes a little trip into Psychedelic Rock territory. Basically, I've taken some ideas from Pink Floyd and regurgitated them into my own thing. There are some other influences in there too, but whatever, you'll notice the Floyd. :P

Download mp3: THA - Influence Of Mind.mp3

Astral Projection

Astral Projection is an upbeat and carefree sounding electronic track. 808 drums, crusty synth sounds and some strings. There's also a bit of guitar towards the end. I wrote this one during a justin.tv video broadcast.

Enjoy! :)

Quick Review: Call of Duty 4 (PC)

Quick Review: F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate (PC)

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate Perseus Mandate is not as good as the original installment of F.E.A.R., though it has it’s moments. The first two or three chapters are quite drab, to say the least. There’s a pretty cool looking two-tiered server room with glass floors, but that’s it. Nothing spectacular happens ...
