Quick advice on my DOS music project
Hey! My name's Max; I'm an electronic musician working on a General Midi cover of the intro theme to HBO's The leftovers. The show kept bringing me back to DOS adventure games with it's surreal/supernatural vibe, so I loaded up some soundfonts in Renoise using bs-0 vst and recreated the theme song.
2 questions; I want to make a video to go along with the track, and since I don't possess the animation art skills to do a retro remake of the intro theme's video, I wanted to put together gameplay/cut scenes from DOS games that fit with the theme of the show. I'm not versed well enough with the abandonware catalog to think of enough examples, so I thought I'd pick the brains of the those who know. If you're not familiar with the show, relevant themes/imagery are; the rapture, disappearances, being pulled into the air, sci-fi/supernatural in small time america, cults especially ones involving members wearing all white, people in all white smoking cigarettes, packs of stray dogs, asian girls sitting by pools Also, I used the soundfont General MIDI.sf2. I like it, it sounds legit, but I would swap it out for a GM soundfont that gets the sound just like a sound blaster 16 , or a straight from the 90s board/GM sound. I have a few labeled as such, but they sounded too high quality, without that crunch like it was taken from a real board, probably mislabeled. Know any fitting .sf2 's for me to check? Still mixing, touching it up, but heres a clip of the cover http://bit.ly/1kSiM4s And here's the original theme https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NO1L3SX5kdk Thanks, looking forward to getting more involved with the forum Max aka Mussy http://soundcloud.com/mussymusic |
