"New Sound of Victory" from the album "No Limit to the Skies"

New Sound of Victory


Hi Everyone!


This week I wanted to talk about the music piece "New Sound of Victory" from the "No Limit to the Skies" album.  This was one that was just fun to play along with.  The piece was originally written for a Video Game (VG) in the days where game technology was in a large transition. From 8-bit Atari and Nintendo digital beeps and sounds to music composition for other 16-bit game systems.  Many of these music pieces were a challenge to work with for length and timing.  I was aiming for a successful conclusion for a scene in this game.  Most of these scenes were relatively short to be put into play during loading time or end of a mission sequences.  Of course everyone wants a victorious ending.  The project as many of them are were changed, cut or adjusted to fit criteria.  This was one of them.  Things were not always consistent and were at times outdated quickly.  This original concept made it to the 20 Anniversary Edition of this album and also was re-written, lengthened, and then released on the 'In Motion' album in 2014.  After such a long trip of not making its debut, it is now available for your enjoyment.  In a way it is a 'New Sound of Victory'.

"Heavy Steel" from the album "Variations"

Heavy Steel


Hi Everyone!


This week I wanted to talk about the music piece "Heavy Steel" from the "Variations" album. This was a piece originally started as an experiment to see if it was a style that I could play.  This was yet another piece that was shelved for many years.  Later came 'Random Fire' from the 'In Motion' album that became a stem from this idea.  That piece came across better than expected.  Most of the the melody of 'Heavy Steel' stayed the same but has been rewritten to a point.  The lead guitar part was a bit different and little more aggressive, to the point that it was not very appealing or interesting to listen to.  I wanted to play it to where anyone listening won't feel like it was too strong and yet made its point.  Some of the drum hits you hear are indeed real metal sounds that you would hear in a steel refinery to give it more of a appropriate effect.
