AMALGOOM (OST) needs Composers

[Johnny Cruelty]

You probably heard of the new wad, Amalgoom, that I am directing, well we're gonna need some volunteer composers....

 

we already got a few like Max or Dankmetal composing a few songs but we'd like some more people as it's not gonna be an easy process of 2 guys making tunes.

 

the idea of the OST is to combine both tracks featured on the two levels made to make a single level in amalgoom, in which bost tracks are mashed up into one

 

your goal isn't to style swap... well you can for SOME, but to simply blend the melodies together into something new yet fresh.

 

so if you'd like to join and make music here is some slots...

Following for updates, sadly I am no composer. 

[Max-ko-khan]

Please mark MAP17s The Healer Waltz / Waltz of the Stalking Healer as dealt with.
I've done it, it's literally in the same file as I Sawed the Archvile and Evil at Dooms gate :/

ALSO if you're allowing my contributions for the ost please state that they can use the instruments of one of the tracks for another 
but the "your goal isn't to style swap... well you can for SOME, but to simply blend the melodies together into something new yet fresh." makes it seem like my tracks weren't following the rules, as i simply "swapped" the style of i sawed the demons with The Healer stalks, that could be a style swap or is it that i can style swap but only with the alternate midi?

Do they have to be musically-accurate? I don't have perfect pitch in the slightest but wouldn't mind trying Nobody Told Me About Romero.

Nah, scratch that. I don't have perfect musical theory either and I don't fancy some muso kid telling me that my use of a B sharp sussy baka bellyflop sergeant minor didn't work with that, um, hi hat. Or something.

impostor syndrome kicked in

[Gregorio Franco]

Can this be a totally custom/.ogg music file? Does it need to be basic MIDI? I'm down to compose something for this.

Well.. I'm allowing yours because you contributed and fit well, but I feel like maybe most of the ost could be swaps and mashups

So are you gonna join or no? Just checking 

[Jayextee]

No, I was excited about the idea of combining those two tunes; I can almost hear the fusion in my head; I immediately started to think about how I'm not much of a musician really. Again, no.

well maybe it could be practice, I'd love to hear your rendition even if it's not the best

[Proxy-MIDI]

Hello there. I can make some tracks if you want. ;)

[EagerBeaver]

I can ask @Ajoura to make tracks for my maps, but he's super-busy RN.

I've brought this thread up to some of my friends who do MIDI. I could try to do some myself, but I'm more of a MOD person.

[wumbo]

Found the thread!! :)

 

@Johnny Cruelty, I'll work on E1M8/MAP08 for now, and I'll see where it gets me. I will probably make more afterwards, love the concept of the whole WAD, by the way.

thanks! I'll dot you in

[GermanPeter]

Like I said in the other thread, if you can't get composers for ALL the tracks, maybe just swap the sound fonts/ instruments of the two tracks, so E1M1 would use MAP01's and so on and so forth. Better than nothing!

[dybbuk81]

Unfortunately I can only do MP3 and other compressed formats of wave :( if I researched more and bought a couple things like a midi cable and controller 

[Johnny Cruelty]

That's ok

[dybbuk81]

Like as in.. better luck next time or MP3 is okay lol

[Demonic Meatball]
