Meteo Xavier Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 For lack of a better term I can come up with. I have a track to finish up, I'm not used to the genre its in and I'm having trouble actually finding a lot of examples, either cinematically or in album music that sound like this, and what few examples I do find are usually pretty bare - just the beat itself and almost no accompaniment. I want to add a lot of atmospherics and electronic chords, SFX and melodies to it. I can post my WIP if anyone wants it, I just wanted this to be a recommended music topic like others here instead of a Workshop topic. Thank you!

Kenogu Labz Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 [...] Well, at least these suggestions are from scenes placed in Africa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 wat @ this thread title I thought it might be enticing others to answer, as the last couple threads I was asking for help didn't get responses. But also, I AM using, I believe, samples of drums from Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamer Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm assuming you mean like fast pace African tribal music? Documentaries about Africa are a good source of this type of music. I saw one recently about the evolution of humans in the environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychowolf Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 This is all i can think of, it was used in this tv show i cant remember. And it was about people being stranded on an island so... kinda works i guess. idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 I actually have a pretty decent beat/groove going on for it already, it's what kind of music I can do on top of it that I'm having trouble with. Closest example I can find is this from one of my favorite CDs of all time: . Problem is, the mood of this piece is almost completely different than what I want while still having a lot of the instruments in there. I don't know, I was just looking for more examples of Fast Tribal music that wasn't like a gimmick track where it's there just so the composer can show off. Those are usually pretty minimalistic and I'm trying to do a full-figured track. Also, if this is coming off strange, it's because I accidentally took some Tylenol PM at work and I'm still not all together yet. Edit: Yeah, Psycho Wolf, thats kinda what I'm looking for. Nice find.

OutSpoken Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 http://www.behaviormusic.com/music/michael_mccann/kinshasa_infiltration_part2_with_high_stress.mp3 This is what comes to mind although it doesn't really develop until about 3 minutes in. If you download the full soundtrack (which is free) for Splinter Cell: Double Agent, the Kinshasa level has a fight theme that might be faster paced than the infiltration theme. I would definitely like to see your WIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 This is the WIP: http://tindeck.com/listen/wtiu It started out as a remix for the SD3 project for "Left Handed Wolf" but I never got much further with it. I want to keep the string stabs but lose the horns and some of the more cinematic elements to it for an electronic and (slightly) spacey/ambient thing. So I'm basically looking for more stuff that sounds kinda like this if at all possible. I want to really develop this into something neat. Thank you for the suggestions so far!

Sinewav Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Surprised no one has posted this one yet. Especially around 4:45. I think the gist of it is lots of fast hand percussion. And maybe african choirs like in Baba Yetu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 There's no way in hell I could get choirs like Baba Yetu in there, but the Casino Royale one is awesome. Thanks Sinewav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinewav Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sorry for the double post, but I just realized the irony of me helping you with that track... I actually was working on Left Handed Wolf for the SD3 project myself a long time ago, but had to drop it because of life/computer issues. Looks like I got to contribute after all.

Sole Signal Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Maybe to a lesser extent, but between the big strings and synths this has some cool African percussion style breakdowns: Matrix soundtrack - Mona Lisa Overdrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 If you're still looking for ideas, you can check out the soundtrack from the movie 10,000 BC. Mannak Hunt Terror Birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
