Crimson Echoes / NOW AT 9 Original CE songs/CE theme

« on: July 26, 2005, 09:09:47 pm »

Alright...two more songs for you.  They're small additions, but nonetheless they need to be added.  

Here they are:

Chronopolis, the CE theme for the haven-like Chronopolis (designed to play for short periods only, in-between travel to other places I suppose)

Moment of Truth, the "sad theme" of Crimson Echoes.  It was meant to play after Sorin realizes what he has become, or something to that effect.

I know they're sonically dwarfed by the other pieces, but they're not designed to be standalones.  They're really just mood pieces, anyway.  So yeah.  Enjoy.

No, I'm not at an academy...I'm just studying to work on the systems we use with the reactor.  That's all.

Also, I can correct stupid mistakes with military dialogue, but anything tactics-related is beyond me.  Boot Camp wasn't about war, sorry.

Yeah, that's just my style of drawing I guess.  I dunno, I like the way it looks.  Not really amazing or anything, but it works.

That depends on how exactly a Sun Stone works.  There was a thread on it a while back, before I got here.

Essentially, they were trying to determine whether the Sun Stone's power was solely drawn from solar energy or whether geothermal power also played a role.  Solar energy alone cannot provide enough power to do the kinds of things that Chronopolis does; besides, we already made up a reactor core sequence.

A reactor core?  As in, the kind of nuclear reactors we use today?  Because I'm studying that stuff in school right now.  No kidding.  In less than a year I'm going to be on a submarine operating a Naval nuclear reactor.

And please, don't say that the reactor goes critical.  "Critical" is the ideal condition of the reactor, and they screw it up all the time because it sounds bad.

Alright...ninja Sorin.  This was actually based off the original sprite that I had made for ZeaLitY several months ago, but forgot about until looking through my files.  Here yar.

Crimson Echoes / NOW AT 9 Original CE songs/CE theme

Well, what I meant by that was there are no songs in CT that maintain a general sense of flame and shadow.  A few try, but they're all very ambient in nature, or battle-quality, and it was a process in itself balancing general Chrono Trigger goodness with the new ideas inherent in the project.

Otherwise, yes, I understand it was a stupid way to say what I meant.  But the song makes up for it, I think.  

At least, I hope so.

Yes, you did.  But then again, you specifically implied use in the main theme.  Whatever.  It'll all work out in the end.

Yeah...I'm trying to make it be theme-quality, but have the power behind it of darkness, of flame, if you will.  ZeaLitY told me it should represent the idea of "crimson" and "echoes", and I'm balancing the idea of maintaining strict CT-quality style with updating it.  Urgh...

Oh, and sorry, Jake-A-Roonie, but after trying to work in that idea you gave me, it didn't work out so well.  I'll incorporate the progression in a later "overworld" song though, one I haven't told you guys about yet.  In all, I'm planning 10 songs at the moment, so...the main theme and 4 more on the way.

Be patient a bit longer.  It should be up sometime tonight.

I dunno...Sorin is supposed to be a character whose mind, in essence, is "dissonant", because of his conflicting psyche.  So, I figured that having that as the title made his theme much more apparent.

Plus, it sounds cool.

Alright...I can change it.  What's the correct name supposed to be?  I want it to be right just as much as you do.

Newest song!  It isn't the main theme, which will require more thought than other more mood-inducing songs, but it is a good song nonetheless.

Modus Dissonanti (this is the purposely-dissonant [notice name] theme of Sorin)

Just a little longer...

This is quick, but here's a concept drawing of Sorin.  



And here's one crappily tossed together in Paint to show his color scheme.  



Comments?

Indeed, 'tis.  At least, some variation on it.  Good stuff.
