  • What if Star Wars's soundtrack by John Williams sounded like the music of God Of War from Bear McCreary?
    Here's "The Force Theme" but seen through the perspective of Kratos & Atreus' journey.

    Fun story:
    When I wrote this arrangement a long time ago I hadn't listened to Star Wars' "The Force Theme" for quite a long while at that point. I thought it would be a fun idea to challenge myself to orchestrate the track entirely from memory and was blown away by the result actually...
    But then, a few months after publishing it to Spotify, a friend made me notice I got one note wrong in the melody. One note that repeats A LOT throughout the theme...
    I told him I just chose to be deliberate, but in my heart I knew I messed up haha.
    I hope that doesn't stop you from enjoying the track!

      You see, what people do need to hear from you, which you do, is to tell a story or have a conversation through music. Because so many songs nowadays have lyrics that take away from what is already said through instruments, I kind of feel like it's two people talking to me and I want just one to focus on. You know? Like an intimate conversation or such. I like what you did in this video due to that. While I enjoy my Scorpions or Metallica, there is something to be said about why instrumental music is so important in gaming and so widely used . People forgot to take their "thematic music" lesson in college :P. Keep on educating em.

      That perfect little sneak in of the imperial march at the very end was, well, *perfect*! When you said "Atreas will become a Jedi.... Or a Sith, let's find out" I was expecting duel of the fates for some reason - I was delightfully thrown for a loop when it got to that part and it was imperial march instead, and the way you built to it musically was so wonderful and unexpected - it gave me one of those "!!!!!" moments, if that makes any sense. Bravo!

    You're one of the very few FL Studio producers who know exactly what they're talking about. Finally, someone who is actually knowledgeable about the given genre, DAW, and concepts of music theory. Yet you provide an indirect tutorial that helps me out by like a milestone.
    This channel is a hidden gem. Unlike most grossing FL studio channels in which they would repeatedly call a composition a "beat", often providing tutorials without no knowledge prior.

    Ciao Alex,
    I've gotta say, I've grown to love Bear McCreary's work over time. I've learned he's touched so many franchises over his career and I was supremely pleased to hear this. I was moved to chills and tears. The representation of the struggle, the duality of lineage and form was extremely well captured. Great power and weight was communicated through this, and I must let you know I've felt your work here very deeply.
    Thank you so much.

    You should listen to Bear McReary's Battlestar Galactica soundtrack, some seriously wonderful pieces in there, like Kara Remembers, Prelude to War, The Shape of Things To Come or my personal favourite has to be his cover of All Along the Watchtower. Just relistening to it now after seeing his name in the description of your video. It honestly feels like a conversion of his God of War style into a Space Opera/ Sci-Fi Drama setting.

    Little bit of head canon here: Kratos' Blades of Chaos would be basically the same, but they have a lightsaber edge 5o them that Kratos activates before swinging them around and manipulating them with the force. One would be red and the other would be blue because, as I imagine Kratos saying, "There is no point in picking sides, boy. We live for ourselves choosing not to bother ourselves with the struggles of others."
