KoeN- Video Game Music Composition in FL Studio 7: 'Senses'
Hi Everybody!
Most of you know me as that guy who loves playing his electronic drum kit- and though you are right, my love for music extends far beyond rubber pads and wooden sticks.
I've borrowed a midi keyboard from a close friend, and am currently learning my way around FL Studio, combining saxophone, drums, guitar and computer music composition to create my very own masterpieces (well, maybe masterpieces ONE day!)
This track is one I have been toying with for a while. In it i have combined my love for gaming with my love for music, and i have written a series of riffs inspired by my two favourite video game composers, Frank Klepacki (Red Alert 1 and 2) and Philippe Vachey (Relentless and Twinsens Odyssey, the two greatest video games of all time IMO, hehe).
I fleshed one of my riffs out, and this is what i came up with.
Feedback is GREATLY appreciated as always! I hope to make many more tracks like it (as well as a remix or two; Daft Punk, anyone?)
Also, for all you sax lovers, I noticed a severe lack of sax players on YouTube, and though i don't play saxophone particularly well, I hope to chuck up something funky soon!
