My second commission, this time for a friend of mine. He was as enthusiastic about this one as I was, always overloading me with things to add so much that they started conflicting with each other. This one is simply his character's theme. Since his character is a hybrid aztec/hispanic special ops, I was able to do some interesting things for this one. First, the first half is an ambient stealth section, using mostly tribal instruments. I have to tell you, it was a pain getting the right sound, both from the instrument selection and the notes themselves. One of my constraints was that there wouldn't be a melody, which was really difficult for me to do. And later on, I kind of failed at that. But still, I managed to pull through. The eerie, empty sound is created by using a different mode of chords, dropping a flat where it's not supposed to be.
The second half is the ambush section. This uses more upbeat tribal music mixed with a spanish style. All the chord progressions are taken from spanish styles. I don't have too much to say about this section, other than I love making battle themes.
