mrkenallen Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm going to be compiling the best recordings and covers of my game music for my youtube channel, youtube.com/mrkenallen. And I would like your help finding the best of the best. You can PM me or post links publically in this thread. And thanks in advance for your help. --- Ken "your music pal" Allen pcj and mrkenallen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MusicallyInspired Posted May 11, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I made this humble cover in rock/metal form of a medley of SQ4 themes a few years back. It was for a video game remix competition called Dwelling of Duels and it actually won 4th place. Looking back, I can do much better now with the recording knowledge and education I've acquired since, but it's still fun to listen to. Here's the link to the MP3, but I'll throw it on YouTube as well. Will add the link when it's done. I always wanted to put more music on my YouTube anyway, what a perfect excuse!

mrkenallen Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Brandon's post alerted me to this website http://dwellingofduels.net I did a quick search for tunes from the Sierra games I worked on and found these. SQ 4 Cantina - renamed: Drunk In Space - artist: Koelsch1 This one also claims to be an SQ4 cover, but I have no idea from where - renamed: 2525 - artist: Hydrasphere Thexder Firehawk - Fifth Mission - artist: MusicallyInspired (Brandon who did the SQ4 medley in a previous post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Lol I remember those tracks by Hydrasphere. It was always fun to hear what he would come up with next! I'm glad you liked the track, Ken. That means a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkenallen Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I also like this one you did. The ZZ Top spoof in the SQ1 Rocket Bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Oh yes! I forgot about that one! :) That one's even older. I need to update these sometime. They are painfully showing the lack of quality I had back then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorch Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Holy crap. Well played Sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Holy ape-balls, that's awesome! Mind if I toss that up on the G+ page as well? Edit: "Holy ape-balls" doesn't cut it. This stuff is pure genius. MusicallyInspired 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrkenallen Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'm also adding a few recordings from my film scoring sessions while attending UCLA. These are very raw, but I wanted to share some of this work for those who might be interested. If you want to hear these as the are posted, subscribe to my channel at YouTube.com/mrkenallen.

MusicallyInspired Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Awesome! I'd love to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Well, I did a partial cover of the SQ12 fanfare (the tune that plays after you've defeated Vohaul). We used it in "Vohaul Strikes Back" - incidentally, I hope you're pro-fangames, Ken. Never wanted to step on anyone's toes, but you can't have a "Space Quest"-game without some of these themes :) I also hope the other VSB guys won't mind me using the server for this... Anyway, enough of my rambling. Here you go: http://www.sqvsb.com...Music/Xenon.ogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frede Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thank you, Ken! I kinda figured; otherwise, you probably wouldn't have shown up ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collector Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm VERY pro fan games! Hey Ken, have you tried IA's SQ2 VGA remake? I felt it truly recaptured the spirit of SQ. http://www.infamous-...ex.php?page=sq2 Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David6858 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Brandon, another Canuck here. I stumbled across your AWESOME song about a year ago. It is on my MP3 Player and it totally rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkenallen Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 ^^^^^^ ___________ agree with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkenallen Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 After leaving Sierra, I eventually landed at Tsunami Media and created music for all their games, one of which was Blue Force, an adventure game from Jim Walls, designer and creator of Sierra's Police Quest series. Here is a link to a playlist on my YouTube channel for the music for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
