The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #399: Musical Interlude - Creating "Battle Theme"

Originally aired on April 3, 2023.This week, I'm starting the process of creating a battle theme for the next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack LP.  It will also serve as one of the pieces of music playing when there is a fight during the Thirteenth Hour mini DnD campaigns over on Patreon.  During this episode, I experiment with a number of voicings as well as melodic parts added to an underlying driving bass/drum backing part.  I was influenced by the 1984 Terminator theme done by Brad Feidel which has a similar mix of a melody laid on top of a distinct, metal on metal percussion track.Will post the updated tracks once I finish recording them.  Next week, episode 400!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?
