This piece draws inspiration from the intense action scenes often found in video games or movies, aiming to capture the adrenaline rush and excitement through music. The transition from slower vibe to a more suspenseful section and faster, more exhilarating part at measure 16 adds to the drama, making it perfect for a climactic moment in the scene.
The tempo is set at 168 beats per minute, maintaining a sense of urgency and momentum. Using a backbeat and a deep, booming kick drum on track 11, a solid rhythmic foundation is laid, while the bass track (track 13) follows the chord progression with a pulse , giving it a bouncy feel. Various loops and sound effects like gun cocking and female vocals on track 7 are incorporated to paint a vivid picture of the action.
The piece is in the key of E minor, with a chord progression including Em, Gm, Dm, Am, Em, Gm, Bm, Em, Gm, Am, Am, Em, Gm. These chords have a dark and suspenseful quality that complements the desired mood. For the melody (track 15), a sharp-sounding synth lead cuts through the mix, employing techniques like legato and staccato to keep it dynamic and engaging. Layering and automation are crucial in giving depth to the melody and ensuring it blends well with other elements.
In addition to synthesized and recorded elements, a sampled track featuring an E minor female vocal loop on track 9 is incorporated. Utilizing a sampler, the vocals are chopped and arranged to fit within the composition, adding ear candy and ethereal quality. Percussion elements are synthesized, with the hi-hat with a sharp attack and the kick drum enhanced for depth and bass presence using the Infinity Bass plugin on track 11.
To maintain a consistent intensity level, dynamic effects like compression and are applied on tracks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17. Time-based effects such as delay and reverb create depth and space in the mix. EQ balances frequencies on tracks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17, while limiters prevent peaking on the same tracks. Reverb adds space to vocals on track 9. Meta Tune corrects pitch discrepancies on track 9, and the inclusion of the creator's voice adds a personal touch on track 15. Tape delay on the melody adds warmth and depth to the overall sound, enhancing its immersive quality. I used limiter on all the tracks that were peaking. And finally mastered the track.
