Description : Metal track with symphonic emphasis. Continuation of Asimov's Foundation series. Part III: Under the close supervision of Gaal Dornick in the primitive shelters just constructed on the planet Terminus, the psychohistorians begin frantic work on Hari Seldon's pet project that had begun before they were banished from Trantor- the Encyclopedia Galactica. As they worked desperately to collect the wisdom of the Galactic Empire before its predicted collapse, every scholar on Terminus knew that each entry had the hope of shortening the Dark Ages that would follow. It was with this vision of hope for future humankind that each psychohistorian worked on Seldon's masterpiece. Constructed from Acid Music Studio with some loops from this site.

Great work on this one. It's a wonderful blend of modern tech conveying a sense of urgency along with classical symphonic expressing a majesty of purpose. I've only read 1 or 2 books by Asimov and those were many years ago but your track gives me a nudge toward delving into his Foundation series. I'm currently captivated by Dan Simmons' Ilium/Olympos novels but I think Asimov may be next on my reading list. Thanks for this amazing composition. -Ken

Wow- I appreciate your interpretation of Encyclopedia Galactica. You put it into words better than I did in the description. I checked out Dan Simmons and the books you talk about sound intense and deep. If only there were more hours in the day to read . . . I will definitely check the books out when I have a chance. Thanks for the review and support. Kper

This is a rare piece, what I mean by that is that it is rare indeed to hear a good marriage between classical and metal - this is one of the best if not the best that I have come across.

All hail Asimov ! I Robot was the first I read in the early seventies - big fan of his - he has also written serious scientific books.

Anyhow, excellant piece - downloaded - thank you

I was going through my tracks and found some reviews that I did not reply to- how embarassing. I apologize for that. Thanks for your very kind comments. Asimov has a way of looking at the world which, for me, stimulates creativity- that impact me long after I am done reading. Thanks again for taking the time to review. Kper

Nice track here, I love symphonic metal blends, the kick drum sound is worth noting as a great sounding kick!
Also the synths melodys are good on this espeically with the effects used as tastfullyas they were!

Thanks for the review, digitalenigma0. I struggle with staying tasteful with all this and not crossing into being too cheesy and nerdy. So your feedback is reassuring on something I've felt insecure about. I have Sony's Ultimate Metal Construction Kit to help me with those drums. Thanks for taking the time to review. Kper

Thanks, mojeve. Trying out new combinations of metal with other sounds is a great mental exercise for me (and I need a lot of mental exercise to eliminate my mental flabbiness :-)
Thanks for taking the time to review. Kper

You got it and i added it to my favs the second i heard it, i would give you advice but i find this track untouchable it has the orchestral softness with heavy thrashing metal not many can pull this off and im a fan of metal but i have to say i do admire this track it was jaw dropping how you fused this together and all i can say is wow.

Keep it up Kper cause this fan is behind you all the way.
AMAZING WORK!

Thanks for taking the time to listen and for your encouraging words. It's kind words like yours that keep me going. I do it for the catharsis but when others speak positively about the music, it makes it all the better. Kper

HELL YES. Love it. great metal/orchestral blend here - nice hints of electronic as well. This one jams. Production and mix sounds really great through my headphones. Great arrangement and something to look out for around every corer, the breaks and change ups. Masterful. Did you jam all the guitar yourself? Amazing track my looperfriend. Amazing. and faved. peace.

Thanks for the enthusiastic review. Reviews like that give me energy to keep going. I wish I could say I did the guitars myself but . . . Sony's Ultimate Metal Construction Kit is where I get my guitar and drum loops. What makes this all fun is I never quite knows what's around the corner as I write the song and so it is always a surprise to me at the end. Thanks again for taking the time to review. Kper

Interesting space rock piece. I think some operatic loop voice overs would work well with this - nice work.

Kper replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the review, jfw. I'm with you on the operatic voice loops. Do you have any ideas of where I can get my hands on some good classical voice loops? I have been looking but have not had much luck. Thanks again. Kper

voices are immensely awesome and the violins add a new layer to it which i rly like =]. nice track!

Kper replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the review, Zikanis. With each new song I do, I like to try to emphasize a sound that I want to get better at using in the future so I worked on integrating the strings into the song. I appreciate your feedback. Kper

I will echo previous reviews, I always said that Metal when arrange like this is like classical music to me, the Wagner type, very goth dramatic, love the arrangment and structure of the track, very soundtrack like, great ride. Great production.

Kper replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for the review. I grew up on classical music and "rebelled" against my parents by getting into metal. I too think that perhaps if he had been born later, Wagner might have been a guitarist in a metal band somewhere. I agree that the two genres seem to compliment each other. I enoy the genre bending that you and others do- it is intellectually and emotionally intriguing. Thanks again for the review. Kper

asimov rules, my favorite writter ever :)

I like the electronic sounds you use in some part of the song, makes it more interesting and "spacial"

Kper replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks naturatech! It blows me away just thinking of how Asimov came up with his concepts in all of his stories- he shaped not only sci fi but also everyday vocabulary and thinking. Being sci fi, it allows me to use those space sounds which adds to what can be done creatively. Thanks for the listen and for the review. Kper

Description : This one I actually kinda like cause it has a more complex melody, and features a bit more harmony. Fun!
It is a little quiet tho, sorry.
Also- I don't actually know if 8Bit Chiptune is the right genre... whatever.
