MUSIC: Sonic Evolution

[Stomp224]

Hi,

I recently had a university research project to do on the subject of my choice, and I chose to look at the history of Sound Design in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series (1991 - 2008) [Phew!]. After writing the ball-breaking essay for this project, I also composed this little tune to demonstrate my several points I made.

Seeing as its 100% sonic influenced, I thought Id share it here. Stops me lurking all the time

The track was kept simple musically, because the focus is on the sound textures rather than actual composition style.

I used the first level of each game that i felt advanced the series music in a major fashion as the influences for my track Which were (In order of appearance):

Green Hill Zone - Sonic The Hedgehog

Azure Blue World - Sonic Adventure

Westopolis - Shadow The Hedgehog

Windmill Isle - Day - Sonic Unleashed

DISCLAIMER: By the time I was working on the SU section, I had pushed my comp as far as it could go in terms of simultaneous tracks (Blame Shadow for that! ), so the samples sound pretty rough. You get the idea though.
