Music List Thread (Post New Themes Here)

Apologies for the double post, but here's another Microbe Editor Theme I composed:

That sounds nice, and a little bit spooky, I like it, great work as always Oliver :D .

I don't think you should use pictures of the spore cell editor for Thrive music videos.

Sounds good as usual, but yeah don't use spore images, especially when we have our own concept images. Use them instead.

I used an image from Spore because I'd already used the editor concept art we have for the previous editor themes, and I didn't want to use them more than once. It doesn't really matter anyway, as it's the theme that matters.

My newest theme, perhaps when constructing things? Or working the editors; or even managing a city? It's currently a work in progress. Using only four chords, it extended and evolves to convey that overall feeling of evolution and change; resolving from tensions and conveying tenacity.

I think that sounds great for the Tech Editor, but thats just my opinion.

I agree - it would probably work best for the Tech Editor. I see what you mean about the 'evolution' of chords, and something similar would definitely work at the beginning of the Main Theme, providing it's worked around the existing chords. I'll add it to the list. :D

Great job LegoHoss. For me it can be put in the game. Sorry if I have not replied to the private message but the bed now since I've been away for a while 'time.

Now I'm going to work on other songs

Great! :) 

By the way, if you haven't already seen it, there's currently a collaborative effort on this thread to improve the Main Theme and create a Main Theme v7. Not much progress has been made yet, but since you now have some time you may be able to help. All the information's on the thread.

EDIT: I've just created a quick theme for cave areas:

Nice to meet you HectorKL! I'm glad you want to help.

Those are all great and useful songs to compose. There isn't a "medieval stage" per se, but your civilization will go through a medieval-like time period in regards to technology, culture and so on so that type of song would be great. Space Stage themes, both atmospheric and intense battle style would also be awesome!

I recommend talking to Doggit and Oliveriver for more on music composing as they are the music team co-leads.

Thank you WJacobC. Nice to meet you too. I already started composing a piece that could fit in the first communities (at the awakening stage I think). I may post it tomorrow or the day after to see if you guys like it.

Compose away. We could always use more people. Not that there's a shortage, but we need lots of people. Welcome aboard!

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I can compose. When I was playing spore I was always thinking of ideas that could make the game better. Now I can help to make this game real.

Since I'm new here and bit confused so can you tell me what kind of music I could make to help?
I could make a medieval-like piece but as far as I've seen there's not a medieval stage in the game. I could also try to compose a catholic-like hymn for the religions, of even an anthem or march for the nations.
I can also try making something more atmospheric for the space stage, or something more powerful for the battles.

What do you suggest?
I would love to help this project.

Welcome to the team, HectorKL! :D 

As PortalFan1000 said, we can always use more composers. The majority of the music we'll be using for Thrive will be ambient, with the exception of the Main Theme and fast-paced action sequence music, such as wars in the later stages. Jacob pretty much summed up how the medieval period is going to work, so there's no reason why you can't compose music for it. We already have a few medieval-type themes, such as this one and this one. We also have some religious, militaristic and ambient space themes like those you suggested. The entire list is in the first post of this thread.

I look forward to whatever you compose, and if you have any questions about music, contact either myself or Doggit via private message or post something in this thread.

Have we done any fast paced action music for later stages yet?

We have some. Here are just a few of them:

EDIT: As per Doggit's request, here is a quick theocracy theme:

Hello! Welcome to the music team then. I would like to see what you can come up with musically. (P.S. I think I know what I might work on for the third song in my list of songs to make. I'm due for a faster paced theme.)

Nice work, oliver, I think this is one of the strongest themes yet. With a little refinement (percussion is the only thing I don't love) it will make a wonderful addition.

EDIT: As per Doggit's request, here is a quick theocracy theme:

very nice song ... maybe the only thing I take away are the beats of drums (do not know how you call well in English) present in 0:57-0-58. you can remove them all?

anyway I will soon publish my song .. I know I'm a bit slow but I'm really very busy since I'm moving house.

The links you sent are all related to religion except the one called "Tribal War" that does not involve a religious war, but about the war (in general) between tribes in the phase tribe.

I kinda like the drums on the theocracy theme, my only complaint was there was a lack of rhythm to them, they didn't seem to go with any sort of tempo, rather disruptive at times.

If I was going to suggest anything on that, change the tempo of the drums, make them a little more like a beat, so that it's not so disruptive.

It's your theme, so you make the final decision, all I can do is make suggestions.

Yeah, I wasn't so sure about the percussion myself. They were in time with everything else in a regular beat, but maybe it wasn't fast enough to register as an actual drumbeat. I'll change it and possibly add a different instrument - tubular bells would probably work well for a theocracy theme, providing they're quite quiet.

Here's an updated version with tubular bells instead of percussion:

That sounds perfect for the space stage! I really like it.
