Miracle of Sound: Crucible (Mass Effect 3)

[Raven's Nest]

Fantastic work sir! I think you've nailed the vibe of the moment perfectly.

I'm a musician myself but I wish I had a quarter of the ability you have to express your ideas musically over such a vast soundscape... Dammit I need to learn the keyboard!

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

Dammit Gav, now I have to clean up my mess.
It's always painful waiting for these to come out on itunes.

 

[Nikolaz72]

To all those who said the ending suck, I got a solution. Ten seconds before you hit the end, draw the small progress bar back to start. Problem, solved.

 

[An Ceannaire]

Didn't really remind me of Mass Effect but it was definitely a great song.

This basically - doesnt detract from how good the song is though.

Also, the first custom male Shepard Ive ever seen that doesnt look either horribly grotesque or like an absolute tool. Commendable in itself

 

[TimeLord]

The ending was a little abrupt.

£10 says that was the point!

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Inspired by ME3? Does that mean at the end you take a fart into the mic?

 

[TimeLord]

To all those who said the ending suck, I got a solution. Ten seconds before you hit the end, draw the small progress bar back to start. Problem, solved.

Once Gav releases it to buy I'm just going to loop it just before the ending 10 times so it's 40odd minutes of epic epicness.

So here I am enjoying a nice slow piece, when 0:45 cuts in and just BLOWS ME AWAY...The transition to it was great...It just brings in that triumphant feeling and I have a feeling this will be looping on my computer for awhile...

 

[putowtin]

Bravo Mr Dunne, bravo!

 

[Ferrious]

Lovely. All your Mass Effect inspired work has been... erm... inspired. Damnit.

The "reaper noise" nods and the abrupt ending sealed the deal for me, great job.

Cool stuff in there!

(One musician to another, what tools do you use for your production? I've been so busy with teaching over the past few years that my writing has really slipped, and I don't have the same live-performance forces available to me where I live. I'd love to get back to writing music, but I also want to hear it. I'm a bit rusty on software, etc., to make that happen.)

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Fantastic! A brilliant instrumental!

Why must you make us wait 2 weeks until we can buy it?

It'll be on Bandcamp tomorrow

The ending was a little abrupt.

Stop being so entitled.

Stop being so entitled.

LOL!

This was one seriously epic piece of music. Next time I play Mass Effect 3 all the way through I shall close my eyes and play this at the end instead. There's no better ending than that.

 

[Truly-A-Lie]

Just amazing. As someone who never got into Mass Effect and didn't like Skyrim, I have to say how impressed I am at your ability to make me connect with the songs you make about them.

It had better be. I need it.

I love strong instrumental pieces, and this one has it all - peace, sadness, loss, defiance, war and power. Completely unexpected, and all the greater for it.
My friend, you've outdone yourself. Congratulations.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

I loved 99% of it.

 

[I38VWI]

A fantastic song for a fantastic game that had a fantastic ending!
This is the perfect logical extension of Mass Effect's music into a film score style.

Anyone that this doesn't immediately remind of Mass Effect must not know a lot about the game or music or both.

 

[sindremaster]

I really expected the last 10-15 seconds to be shit.
But anyway, great song!

 

[Forst1999]

No big fan of instrumentals, but it certainly was good. Felt very big and epic, the video fits.
