Liner Notes

This one started life as an attempt to see if I could get the Super NES sound chip to make that big blaring cinematic brass sound. Spoiler: I didn't, but it did make for an interesting distorted guitar ish lead.

As the title suggests, this is the combat theme for the hypothetical RPG. My aim was to make it intense, but not too much, since it's the general battle theme and you're gonna hear it a lot. So I held myself back in several places to leave room for the boss and final battle themes to be more intense.

The brass lead in the second half was the result of a copy paste error. Serendipity is the best. I think for a future update I might fiddle with the channels to get a proper call and response on that part, sharing a channel for the kick and snare so I can squeeze in a second brass channel. But I'm already behind, so time to move on.

Thanks for listening!

Love the energy in this, directly from the first second. It definitely has a perfectly fitting title. I like the high sawtooth-like thingies in the background, that adds a lot of depth.

I think my favorite part is the fill-in around 0:44. That captures the energy very well.

(Oh, and you wouldn't know how much of my music evolves through copy-paste errors or wrong mouse clicks. The trick is recognizing the 'good misclicks' and use them :) )
