--> I played some more Oblivion the past month or so since some new mods have come out to improve the gameplay drastically.

So the Oblivion music's been running through my head a lot. I wanted to make something new for this month's laptop battle, but my original stuff has been crap lately. I decided to cheap out hardcore and use some Oblivion soundtrack and some scratch loops i've been hoarding for years and make some kind of symphonic breaks mix.

I added some synth leads and bass too for fun.

I dunno, it's cheesy as hell but still fun to work on.

If its fun, then who gives a flying fuck?!?
Radness!
I woulnd't recognize the music. .. unless you added some telltale sound effects maybe. Like the sound of a magic glass sword that magically avoids any friction and slides down a slight hill forver and ever and ever. Or the sound of unsuspecting guards. "What was that? I better lay of the ale" I love that one.
I like how the changing breaks really make the music sound different... a change in the drums can make the same orchestral section go from sounding energetic to totally wistful and shy.

I gotta ask: what mods in particular???

good idea on the voice samples! I'll have to do that. Thanks for the listen, ml

re: mods... there's one called Oblivion Overhaul 1.3 that is like a one-stop-shop for tweaks on combat, enemy AI, economy between cities (with optional extra plug-in), and various balancing changes. The game is alot more challenging now, and oblivion gates are actually more intense since traps will straigt maim you if you're not careful

My only complaint, and yes there always seems to have to be a major complaint when one musician writes comments on songs, is that this all sounds so digital to me. I recommend some real instrument samples to start off, and then focus on your range of dynamic levels and stereo imaging as you remaster, and add some shape to the form here.

Some really mystic melodies that i enjoyed, but variation can be a good start to crossing over from the land of digital oblivion.

Thanks for sharing.

loved it. no real criticism. the changes in mood are pretty awesome.

this made me wonder: if i hadn't turned the music off in world of warcraft how much fantasy soundtrack music i would've made.
i hate games
fun track

haha! nice one, Adjective.

I wonder if I would get bored with the Elder Scrolls series if I played them without music more often.

Maybe I'd actually do some real music for once!

cool track

appreciate it, Greg
I want an Oblivion Battle Cat mod now

OMG YES!

Wait, there might be one like that: link

Just needs the armor

Are the strings samples? Or vsts?
What are the synths?

Seems movie theme

This is very nice. I wouldn't call it cheesy. Well maybe one part in the middle. Anyways I like it.

The strings are from the soundtrack to the game we've been talking about, Oblivion. link

Thanks, Squeal.

oh, and the synths are from the Korg Legacy collection. A friend loaned it to me and this is the first thing I've tried it on. I found a few presets and tweaked them to my liking.
