Hello Everybody!  

For the second part of Victory, I wanted something more haunting.  "Victory is Assured" was upbeat, and would be used to encourage the soldiers going into battle, where "Death Lies Within Our Grasp" would serve as the notion that the road to victory is not easy; sacrifices need to be made, and every action could be your last.  I wanted to display a more depressing composition, and being more chaotic in nature.

The Actual composition if more Film Score oriented, with several changing parts.  
Having Multiplayer death scenes over and over again would have been boring, so I added a fair bit of Single Player cutscenes to emulated loss, aggression, doom and sacrifice; making it more of a ME3 Multiplayer and Singleplayer montage.  

I hope you enjoy it, I put a great deal of work into it. I did take me a while to complete it, as I bought a new computer I was putting off for a while (the large string section takes up a tremendous amount of CPU power and I have MOAR of it now ), and even played an entire playthrough for it (I don't have much time in my schedule to play video games like I use to lol!).

And with a giant Thank You in advance, I present to you (ps dont forget to turn it to 1080p!):


Victory pt 2-"Death Lies Within Our Grasp"

You chose red?

You did good son, I'm proud.

Tough! Will watch again at full volume later, but sounded great!

WOW, Shards! 


The opening missed for me, a bit, but starting around the :50 second mark, the music really grabbed me.  And from 2:11 on, I was hooked.  I loved the music over the video of the DESTROY ending, with the MP footage cut in.

I like your music there better than the stuff in the game, tbh.

Well done!

[Prestacious]

Awesome! Will check this out tonight

For lack of a better word I will simply say excellent and thank you Shards for taking the time to put that musical score together so that we could all enjoy it kudos good sir.

Thanks Tyrant!

fyi it technically isn't 1080p if you're recording from a console, it's just a scaled up 720p but still nice job.

idk I just felt like being a nit picker

Impressive as always shards!

Excellent job, shards! Nice combination of MP footage with some of the more memorable moments from the campaign. Really enjoyed how the emotional undertones of the music combined with the action shots in the gameplay footage. Now, what have you got planned next? LOL j/k You really produced a great music video.

[shards7]

Thanks guys!

5-0 I have a lot planned, I am working a demo for a music production company (as in "this is what this product sounds like! buy our stuff."), a few pieces I am going to submit to marketing companies, and another start of an epic piece that may or may not be victory part 3...

[Kalas747]

enjoyed the video. especially after having played with just about everybody in the montage.

I really like how you combine fast and intense parts with slow and peaceful parts in your music. Maybe I would like hear those kind of tempo changes even more. Also you are master of creating creepy atmosphere in your music. That is highlighted in your song Tides at the best. Love that song.
