Hey gang, I thought I'd better be a little more clear why I came to the decision as to why I wanted that break in the music in the mod. It more or less comes down to legalities and copyright issues. My voice coach who is a recording artist recommended I do this to protect my own work. Sorry. I didn't write the update in the copyright laws. Blame congress five years ago and Napster back in the 1990s. So a few seconds in scene shouldn't matter that much. I've got some ambient ME3 battle sounds now and I'll tell you they sound awesome and really add some drama.
See the first part, the battle scene is all original music: mine. I'm also planning for it to be part of a longer composition, perhaps about 10 minutes. I intend to publish and sell this. Whether anyone buys it is not the point. There are too many lawyers out there today. I am donating a section of this for the mod.
The second part contains the Mass Effect 1 theme which is owned by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick, and therefore becomes an arrangement. I can arrange anything and not charge any money for it without infringing on copyright so long as I give full credit to the original writers. The second it is connected to my original work, my original work could become part of that arrangement. I just say "Mass Effect Victory theme by Jack Wall, Sam Hulick arranged by...." for what goes into the mod and we're good. I can put original material in an arrangement which I am doing. I just can't make any money from it.
ah the joys of copyright and DRMGlad you have found an arrangment though. Sounds like you are a fair ways through this; mind if I ask what particular style/genre your soundtrack is?
The style of my composition is orchestral Neo-romantic melodic with modern tonalities. Can't really give a comparison because while I have a music degree I slept through some of my theory classes and didn't take any composition classes, so didn't get shoved into a box like they did with people. I pretty much put things together the way I think they sound good and convey an idea I like.
I didn't FIND an arrangement of the ME1 victory theme. I am writing an arrangement of it using the main theme within my orchestration which is also in Neo-romantic style, but minimalist. This is an area where I'm really good. I give full credit of the melody to Jack Wall and Sam Hulick, that takes care of the copyright, and I take credit for the arrangement. See how this works now?
All of the orchestral film music you've heard since Alien is Neo-Romantic with a few exceptions.
Really looking forward to this. Is Mass Effect's soundtrack style Neo-Romantic, or is it more a mixture of different styles? I understand that the Mars theme and An End, Once and For All are definately not the same style, since one is more piano and orchestral based, and the other has a sci-fi vibe to it. Which would you say your compositions leans more towards?
