News: New Don Ferrone Music for Planetside 2...

[Bags]

Really liked the second track.

[Leyxa]

That is definitely the Planetside sound. It's that electric violin. You just don't hear it elsewhere. It's insanely versatile and Don Ferrone uses it for a lot of different things. And because it's unique sounding, it creates a common thread throughout the Planetside music even as that music changes styles and forms so drastically. It can be the lead in a rock anthem or a soldier's hymn. And it sounds futuristic to boot. A fantastic sci-fi instrument and fantastically used here. I wuvs it.

The orbital music is used inside the HART buildings. It's a track that you would have become quite familiar with in the early days waiting on ten minute HART timers.

Nice I thought the original score for Planetside was superb. I hope Don's work gets picked up by the new team.

Music imho when you are getting your first impressions of a game is really important and Don aced it first time around.

[Lonehunter]

Very nice tracks, very "Planetsidey"

[CrystalViolet]

Not big on the first track, but the second was very well done. Can't wait to hear more.

But my god what glory is that second track eh? Sounds like some in-battle music for an empire or an overall theme, I love the choral sections.

It's also nice to know the string arrangements from the Vanu tracks will carry over to the second game as well. Violin vocals are always nice

[FIREk]

So what do you guys think we can do to improve Don's chances on actually making the whole soundtrack? Send copious amounts of fan mail to Matt, Smed, Andy Sites and whatever other decision-influencing/making people we can find?

[ECM]

Sweet. I'm happy.

[GTGD]

This made my day, Don Ferrone's music was one of the greatest parts of Planetside. The main theme gives me the chills to this day.

I'm sure most of you know, but he has some alternate PS tracks that were never put in the game on his site here: http://www.donferronemusic.com/index.php?s=listen

I wonder what the fact, that they're looking for someone to make the music, says about how advanced in development the game is...

[Graywolves]

I think you can put music in at anytime really.


this music has me hyped to play Planetside.

I am totally in agreement with FIREk (thanks for replying to my YouTube comment!). Does anyone have an Email address to which we can send advocacy letters to some of the higher-ups in favor of Ferrone? Post it here!
