Ascent From Tartarus (Musical Range)

by Viking Guitar

/

about

This track was written for Musical Range (www.musicalrange.com), a VR game by Rockhopper Studios. The gameplay involves the player using a laser gun to shoot musical notes, and that mechanic informed a large part of the writing. Having consistent melodic phrasing for the player was important, as was not doing anything TOO fast, since that wouldn't work. The end result is something that feels half like F-Zero X and half like older Viking Guitar music, before it got heavier and thrashier. In any case, it's a fun little track, and I hope you enjoy it!

As a side note, this was a song written on a deadline, and my bass guitar decided to die on me right as I was going to record it. As a result, this song features Shreddage Bass 2 by Impact Soundworks for bass guitar.
