The Adventures of Skywolf
Built upon a super cool acid bass synth arp from Looperman artist Konigsberg, this upbeat techno piece drips with tones of action and sci-fi technology.
Mortal Contact
Here’s a tune that starts off with a driving synth loop from Looperman artist Twistedloop, followed closely by a pumpin’ beat by Fanto8BC. Throw in some arps, booms and crashes, and you have a 90s-flavoured song well suited to action video games.
The Trees Are Full Of Forests
Here’s an action-adventure themed cinematic piece featuring energetic percussion loops, regal french horns, punchy brass sections and sprinkles of cinematic SFX.
Isle of An Caillte
A cinematic piece that starts out with a low, droning synth before a tribal rhythm sets the pace. This one came out sounding like a title sequence for a modern action-adventure game.
The Last Sunday
Here’s a short cinematic piece built with freely available samples, including the robust pack from Virtual Playing Orchestra. Done in the style of a trailer for an action/adventure movie. I’d love to see it put to some cool visuals! If you do, drop me a line! 🙂
Synth Toms Mean Action
I grew up watching a lot of action adventure serials in the 80s and 90s that featured the latest synth technologies of the time filling in for the much more elaborate orchestrations of higher budget productions. Blissfully, groundbreaking composers like Brad Fiedel showed that you could do this without making it sound hokey, by playing to strengths of the modern instruments. You’ll hear a lot of his influence in this pulse-racing action sequence.
