Our Music Choice

While trying to find royalty free music, we first looked blindly through google, to little success. We then found this video:


Which informed us more about copyright free music, as well as linking us to many useful sites.

The website which we found most useful was incompetech.com as it had a lot of music and a useful search engine which allowed you to search in moods and paces as well as just by genre or name.

To match our genre, we decided to search the website using the keywords 'action', 'suspense' and 'agressive', and we managed to pick 3 tracks to narrow down the choice, and we have listed them below with their descriptions:

Mechanolith:
Superlatives abound in this giant orchestral/industrial piece. To be played loud. From the original soundtrack to "The Last Stand of the Mechanolith".

Satiate:
This track just never lets the audience rest. There are a lot of uses for this sort of piece. It is also available with just the percussion, and just the strings... both of which are quite different from the combined.

Steel Rods:
Smashing on a dumpster while pulling off some imitative counterpoint. Dark, mysterious and unnerving.

In the end we chose to go with a subtrack of 'Satiate', which was the same track but without the melody, aptly named 'Satiate Precussion'. The balance of suspense and action makes it suitable for our piece.

The track can be listened at:
