Iskatumesk's many voices, and music.

I couldn't let Iskatu's beautiful music, and talented voice overs.. disappear into the void of these forums. So I am going to re-post all his links that was found in his welcoming topic here, and sticky them for all new members of these forums to view/hear. Wink

A bit of history on these pieces -

Most are from my Throne of Armageddon Fury "Official Soundtrack". They were composed for two purposes;

A conceptual-stage Half life 2 TC based on epic space fleet warfare.

A "visual" representation of events within my Throne of Armageddon novel.

Others are from my Starcraft projects (Such as Heidomus Kaladonmus, "The Legend of Heidomus") which did reach extended levels of completion and are to this date among the most technically advanced and completed starcraft TC's ever released. The older ones are usually for SC mods as well.

The old pieces, which you should be able to tell from the newer ones, were composed using Modplug tracker, a rather dinky sequencer that was pretty limited in its capabilities. In about 2004 I upgraded to Cakewalk home studio 2002 and, more notably, Gigastudio. Gigastudio provides that professional sound and, although I am still pretty new to composing, gives pieces a truly epic sound. This is the kind of software Hans Zimmer works with. In fact, I have some of the gigafonts he used/created.

The drawback to these is that I am really picky about what I create. I am fanatical to making something that feels just right. I use a combination of note-by-note sequencing, and an actual musical keyboard. You can sometimes tell the differences between the two - mauutheme was all keyboard work, while A Thousand Storms was mostly sequenced.

The voice pieces are all my own voice and sound editing. Unlike composing, I've been doing voice acting for various things for about a decade (And I'm only 19!). When I got my first computer, I obviously went into the art of editing the sound as well. I consider myself quite proficient in Adobe Audition and have been recently expanding my knowledge to help bring color to my existing voice acting capabilities.

I am most well-known for fully voice acting my starcraft conversions.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Holy Sh*t. Damn good voices! Damn good! In fact....alright, may seem wierd, but I'm currently developing a CG movie. If I ever get it off the ground, what would I have to pay you to compose music and give me voices?

Composing music could be difficult if only because of the inconsistency in my ability to actually produce something useable. Voice acting I might be able to help you out with, for a few souls.

What kind of movie are you working on?

Fantasy realm with a clockwork twist. Haven't got much on it yet though...

Very nice. Are you licensing or allowing use of that material to others? I would love to sample the bits about chaos from the warden of chaos. The voice sounds menacing, and a few snippets from his monologue would fit our Chaosium live zone very well. Smile

I can't really "license" as nothing I've ever done has been for profit. These are just stuff I created specificialy for my own use that I've allowed some others to use as well. If you want to use the Chaos Warden's voice, go ahead, just provide a link to campaigncreations.org and a mention of my name in the credits. Very Happy

You don't need to pay me. Just give me a full list of voices you want done with that editing and I'll get them to you.
