mrkenallen Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Allistar Brimble's Kickstarter project got me thinking: http://www.kickstart...the-amiga-works Is there any interest for a freshly produced and updated album of music I created for games? If so, would you fund it on Kickstarter? Just in the feeler stage. I've not yet made a choice.

MusicallyInspired Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Absolutely! I wish we had more of these type of projects by other game musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intendant S Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Of course I would. I almost always go for a game's soundtrack if there's one available. Not to mention that I gave to the Balance & Ruin (Final Fantasy VI Remix) Kickstarter. I also like your past music, so it should come as a no-brainer for me.

Dat Engineer Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yes - if the sample quality is noticeably different/improved from what's out there. I don't know how many digitized soundtracks I've seen for Space Quest 4 as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 None of them use the high quality instrument sampling software of today, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I might chip in depending on the track list. Would rather want to see you go all the way and actually have the soundtracks recorded rather than sequenced, though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 That would cost a significant more amount of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkenallen Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 There's a common technique in Hollywood of using a virtual orchestra and then adding a small number of live musicians. So I am considering this as an option. Also might have guest musicians from the Sierra fan base perform along with me.

Irishmile Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I would support it... I am guessing you would have the support from a lot of the usual suspects... Fans and industry people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkenallen Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Heard back from Activision. They hinted at the possibility of re-releasing parts the old catalog, so, now the question is, is there interest in an "Inspired By" album that is "close enough"?

MusicallyInspired Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Anything you make is fine by me. I wonder, could you do an "inspired by" album and have one of the Kickstarter rewards or stretch goals be a "free" reworking of a Sierra soundtrack? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicallyInspired Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I demand royalties. :D I love the idea of putting Vulcan Fury stuff in there! I was so looking forward to that game. A shame it was canceled. And the discarded SQ5 theme for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xTr1m Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Are there any news on the progress of the album? ...this poor fella who came to late to back the dome can't read kickstarter updates. I'd just like to know if everything is progressing well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intendant S Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 There hasn't been an update for quite a while, but since Ken's doing the music for SpaceVenture the focus is on the game right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 His last update mentioned that he would postpone Under The Half Dome until SpaceVenture is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frede Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 But Ken didn't write the SQ3 soundtrack. That was Bob Siebenberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
