SpecialAgentBoB Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 No this is not a remix of Bailey's original score to Half-Life 2, infact it's all original with no sources. So seeing as how its not a remix of the original source, I guess I placed it here in originals as it is original. I decided to do a alternate score to Half-Life 2 in my own artistic way, dont get me wrong, Kelly Bailey's score on it was amazing, I just felt like making up my own twist.

big giant circles Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 pretty cool stuff, definitely very City 17-ish indeed. I dig the breath FX in the ravenholm track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabond23 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah man. Very interesting stuff. A definite pulse of industrial throughout all, especially the Freeman Escapes track. I could see how this would fit into a new HL episode or mod. Also, your in the right place with your music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusK Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Will there be a way I could replay the game with these tracks replacing the originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to zip it and place it here for download as soon as Im finish. Looking forward to hearing the rest! Will there be a way I could replay the game with these tracks replacing the originals? In the first Half Life, all the sound tracks were just mp3s. You could change the file for the ones you wanted. I'm not too sure about HL2 because i haven't played it in a while. I should get that out and give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall (prior to stuff like Steam) I had to play the game with the disc in the drive. The audio was on the disc and triggered at the appropriate times.

SpecialAgentBoB Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Will there be a way I could replay the game with these tracks replacing the originals? There is, I remember FakeFactory was able to implement new music from film scores into the game in the form of the realism mods. Though from what I hear, it can be a bit of a mess to handle.

You did have to play with the original HL disc in the drive, but you could actually swap out the disc for another music cd and it would substitute the tracks. I thought there was a folder for extra music though? Maybe i'm thinking of GTA 3 and Vice City, or any GTA for the PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialAgentBoB Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Alright I am almost done, currently Im mastering the last four tracks. Due to college and everything, its kinda slow but it hasn't stopped me, so I will give you guys a bit of a description to each track. On a side note: The original Route Kanal that I posted here was actually suppose to be Water Hazard so they have been switched. Sorry about it. 1. Wake Up Mr. Freeman (Atmospheric introduction into the world Gordon Freeman will enter, electronics to represent the presences of the Combine that has establish itself. It ends with electronic thumps as the G-man ask's Gordon to wake up.) 2. Welcome To City-17 (Another atmospheric introduction to City-17, this is currently the theme for City-17 when the player is in and exploring the city.) 3. Freeman Escapes (When Gordon enters the apartments, he soon discovers that he needs to escape from the Combine. Electronic 'siren' rings as a electric guitar begins to place the pressure upon Gordon. It soon enters into a rhythmic drum pattern that signals the escape. The rock motif is heard. This is the first time we hear Gordon Freeman's "Action Theme") 4. Kliener's Lab (Soon after Gordon is rescued by Alyx, we enter into Kliener's lab, this is the base theme for Dr. Kliener. This is represented with a soft ambience with hollow bells in the background.) 5. A Red Letter Day (When Gordon is transported back to Kliener's lab on the outside, he must soon find a way to Black Mesa East. It starts off slow with very low electronic 'sirens' that represent the Combine's alert to Freeman's accident with the transporter. We soon hear thumps once again as Freeman takes hold of the crowbar, it then enters into a rhythmic pattern once again with the electric guitars. This represents Freeman's race to Black Mesa East. It then ends with the drums as its not over yet.) 6. Route Kanal (After killing two Combine CP's, we begin to hear a fast movement of electronics but in a threatening way. Next we hear 'water' electronics that represents the soon to begin watery path that Freeman will take. New electronics enter the phase as the Combine CP's begin to chase down Freeman. Note that the rock motif is not featured in this track as Freeman is now being chased by the Combine. He is not in control of the situation but must now leave the area before further Combine forces enter the area. It ends the same way as it began.) 7. Water Hazard (Electronics enter this phase as now we will begin to hear both the rock motif and the combine's electronic motif. The electronics soon fade as Freeman's rock motif enters this phase. It soon quickly takes off into a rock motif that will represent the chaotic trek to the next outpost.) 8. Evaporation (This atmospheric track is to represent the times when Freeman is not under attack but is solving puzzles or exploring in the episode of "Water Hazard". Low electronics that sound like bee's flying is to represent the threats that loom overhead. This track would also fill in when Freeman aquires the hunter chopper machine gun.) 9. One Free Man (A "tick" that is soon followed by a low key piano pattern then quickly with an electronic "siren" but now heard louder is to represent Freeman's venture into the building where torture took place and to open the gate of the dam. The rock motif is introduced back as Freeman is back in control of the situation. This phase is electronic with a mixture of rock to describe that Freeman does battle with Dr. Breen's CP's.) 10. Combine River Assault (Electronics are quickly introduced at a faster pace - 160 bpm to be exact. Freeman is now on the run as the Combine forces begin to close in on him. Electronic "water" is introduced aswell as threatening electronic drum patterns. Rock motif of Freeman is little as the Combine are in control of this situation. This phase of the track is to represent the Combine's assault on Freeman.) 11. The Trap - Hunter Chopper Appears (The track begins with drum patterns with electronics as a representation that the Combine are in full control of the situation. They place Freeman in a trap and Freeman must unlock the dam. A drum and bass follows as Freeman is hunted down, the Hunter Chopper appears to attack Freeman. Soon the electronics are mixed in with the rock motif is shown but only in drum form for Freeman when Freeman unlocks the dam and chases away the chopper.) 12. The Hunted (Electronic drums and sequences are introduced, a sort of low key drum and bass. This represents that the Combine are quickly placing Freeman under extreme pressure.) 13. The APC Ambush (A short track with electronic drums and sequences as Freeman escapes the ambush.) 14. Combine Hunter Attacks (Harsh electronics are introduced with electronic fill in of guitars. Drum patterns soon follow as a fill in theme for Freeman. A threatening pounding of the Combine "siren" theme is soon heard in its full glory. Freeman now must take on the Hunter Chopper alone.)

jabond23 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Even if you can't just use the mp3's, you can always burn SpecialAgentBoB's awesome soundtrack to a cd and play it that way. It should play the tracks on the cd instead of the half life disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
