Hi...unless I'm missing something, I don't see that you have anyone signed up to compose an original soundtrack for the game. I'm a trained musician, and I would LOVE to step in and fill this role. Whoever's in charge of that sort of thing, please send me a PM. Thanks!

Disregard this, I just read elsewhere on the forums that original music has indeed already been written...oh well :(

Well.. Just ask Gav, if he would like to have some more music. It would also be good to show/tell us some of your skill's

A sample of my work can be downloaded at http://members.aol.com/usfrall/ents3final.mp3. This is an alternate theme song I wrote for the show Enterprise back before season 3 started.

Since BOTFII will have its in-game music player, perhaps it would be useful to have multiple music sets the users can choose from? I could write alternates for anything you need - combat music, exploration music for each of the races, anything. Just ask and ye shall receive :D

Well i think that if you would create some kind of music.zip file, for download, people would happily use it in the game. The more support we get in any arrea the better.

Very impressive, one composer to another. I had earlier offered to write something but never really followed up on it. (plus I'd heard, like you, it was already taken care of).

I am a music student at the local university, studying composition there, among other music-y things. Where/when did you get your training?

Again, welcome - your work is very impressive if the theme is any indication! Thank you for sharing it with us! :)

Thanks for the compliments, Jarok - I minor in composition at a major conservatory in the United States.

I decided to sit down and crank out an example of the kind of music I could contribute to BOTF2 so you guys could get a better idea of what I have to offer - so here is some Romulan music :D

Enjoy!

Your Romulans music sounded good to me. :)

Even if its not in there in a official capacity, if you make more music, I'd add it to my song list for the game. :wink:

Post subject:  Re: I'd like to write the music!

enjoy you say? well yes i did, and if i may say, a masterfull piece of work.
i believe jon has only done the music for the federation, at least thats all i have heard so far. His was also excellent. So by all means continue, we cann add more music which would allow for a broader experience within the game itself.

Post subject:  Re: I'd like to write the music!

Wow! How long did it take you to make these?

I'd love to be able to make music like this...all I can do is string sound effects together and hope for the best.. :(

Could I suggest the Klingons next? I know a certain Klingon that would greatly appreciate music for his empire...it'll be a pleasant surprise when he returns from his second spiritual slaughter of Jem'Hadar! :lol:

It takes me about an hour per song. I work fast :D

Ask and ye shall receive! I've only had time to start on the Klingon music, so here's what I have so far:

It's heavily influenced by Jerry Goldsmith's masterful music from Star Trek I. Hopefully I'll finish it up soon![/url]

Post subject:  Re: I'd like to write the music!

I'm gonna join in praise. Really great work (although I liked the klingon music more than the romulan)

It'd be great if you could do theme music for all the races (perhaps cardassian next? :roll: ) and I'm quite sure that it'd be implemented into the game.

Jolan Tru, TerrakRall! (awfull name, btw: it sounds Cardassian.)

Anyway, a terrific job on the music, comrade! Both the Klingon and Romulan samples sound very cool. Only I got the idea that the Romulan one starts all over again after about a minute and a half.
I am realy looking forward to hear the other samples. Keep up the good work!

Well of course he's not a Romulan (the nick, I mean :lol:). Romulans can make music you say :lol: Kidding :wink:

I like the Klingons more than the Romulans myself, but they're both excelent. :D

Actually, my RP character with this name is a Trill, so go figure :P

Still working on the Klingon music, I'll have an update for you soon hopefully.

Post subject:  Re: I'd like to write the music!

I certainly did notice the influence! That is so cool!

Can't wait for an update - but take your time, there's nothing worse than something that is rushed; there's also nothing better than something that has had the proper time to be made! :wink:

I prefer the Klingon one as well by the way - but that isn't saying anything bad about the Romulan music! (Coz you can't say anything bad about it by the way) :wink: :D

Author:  Jarok [ 18 Apr 2005, 23:49 ]
Post subject:  Re: I'd like to write the music!

The Romulan music is very cool - I think you capture that personality well in your music. I especially liked the string 'chorale' in the beginning. 8O (I'm a violinist myself). The middle section would be awesome Romulan battle music! 8O

The opening of the Klingon music is also very awesome. One minor question, though: I like how you capture a Star Trek 'sound' without really quoting anything, but couldn't you stick the little Klingon trumpet motive in there? Maybe even as subtle as scoring it with a trumpet line? Anyway, a great start!

Again, you do most impressive work! Who do you like to model your compositions after?

Author:  Matress_of_evil [ 19 Apr 2005, 14:49 ]
Post subject:  Re: I'd like to write the music!

Oh, i've just thought, i've got some Klingon battle music on my computer. I'll send it to you if you want to have a listen, TerakRall.

That has some Trumpets in it at the start by the way. :wink: Actually, it might even be the music from the original films...I don't actually know. :roll:

Post subject:  Re: I'd like to write the music!

just spoke to jon, he has finished all the music.
however he says the intro music has still to be written as the one we currently have is not his own work.
i would like you to finish your stuff though, then we can have a larger music file to enjoy.

I have about 10 tracks for each emipire. if you want, add me on msn and we can chat more there about the music.. jonolsson@hotmail.com

Ummm...TerakRall are you still working on the music?
I must admit I've been waiting eagerly for the finish to the klingon theme.
Also hoped for a cardie one too....

Also, jig, is there a way we can hear the music that's suppoused to be in the game before we see the game? :)

Yeah, has anything else been done recently? I don't want to rush you, but you have done good music, and I can't wait for more! :D
