Triage at Dawn - Solemn Mix (Half-Life 2)

[Nubblecakes]

After scrapping my recent remix project, I decided I'd post a remix I did a while back for Half-Life 2, just for fun.

There was a remix of this song years ago called Path of Borealis, done by Viktor Antonov. It pretty much inspired me to do a remix of my own, though I don't think I came close to his remix in terms of quality. My remix might be too deliberate, which isn't exactly a good thing.

I struggled to get this remix sounding right, but hopefully it paid off. I'm not really sure if it's worth mod review or anything, so I figured I'd just share it with the community. The original song is very short in length so it was tough to create a lengthy track without making it repetitive. I don't know if I succeeded. Viktor Antonov did a ton of work with the piano in his remix, which made it sound very cool and dynamic. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of skill.

I have another mix with a different intro in case anyone's interested or doesn't like how this version starts. I'll upload it to Soundcloud if there's any demand.

Enjoy. All feedback is more than welcome.

It is really good, it has a feeling of remorse and sadness to it, but also has a feeling of cheer as well.

I've always liked that song from Half-Life 2, and you did an excellent job at remixing it.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. I was definitely going for a sad yet upbeat mood when doing this remix. I think a lot of it comes from the source itself, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
