Orchestral theme variations for each character

I made some orchestral variations of the main theme for each character (Mage one is on the way). I’d love some feedback for each one before I go on making full versions. Also any ideas for any other themes in the game that would shine in an orchestral setup just send them my way :smiley: . Cheers!

P.S. Reading the forum guidlines it didn’t seem like this kind of post isn’t allowed. If I misunderstood I am sorry.

Those are actually pretty cool, good job.

Appreciate it! Thanks.

The last variation as promised for anyone interested!

Wow. Just wow. Amazing job, they are absolutely great.

As you asked for feedback:

I love Acolyte, Primalist and Sentinel. Exactly the atmosphere I associate with these classes. Brilliant!

Rogue starts great, again perfect rogue-y mood as I imagine it. But I am not convinced by the combat bit in the middle (0:21), the full chorus feels a bit “heavy” for a rogue. I think we want fast-paced, yes, but more light footed. If that makes sense.

Mage, I am not sure. It is nice, but it feels a bit too slow and contemplative, I would see something a bit more “explosive”, with all the fire and explosions these guys produce.

Just my two pence, I am no musician at all but I attach a lot of importance to atmosphere in games.

Again, absolutely wonderful job! Thanks!

First of all I really appreciate you taking the time to hear them all and read the descriptions, it means a lot!

As for the feedback you really cought me red handed there :D. I struggled a lot with finishing the rogue piece and I think it shows, as you pointed out the middle part is indeed off base and “heavy”. Will have to take a more “light” approach and more thematically fitting.

Mage I can totally agree that it’s a personal preference, I really wanted to make a chamber piece and the best candidate of the 5 was the Mage. But does that really express the character to its fullest? Probably not, so maybe if that one minute is the outro of a longer and more explosive and vibrant piece it would make more sense.

Again much love for taking the time and actually giving me some nice ideas and direction! <3

Thank you very much! I haven’t done any of the full versions yet cause I have been busy. I will try to cook something up for the release though for sure, glad you liked them!
