Taco's Theme

Postby xela » Sun Feb 27, 2011 8:59 pm

Taco asked me to write him a theme tune for his Taco character. I've been trying out different things and I've come up with an idea for a sort of epic but at the same time almost wistful type theme tune.

I have recorded this piano version using the built-in laptop mic so it doesn't sound great, but if you turn up your volume a bit, it's not too bad. The final version will probably be heavily orchestral.

Cheers. Link below:

Cool, glad you found this topic mate. If you can imagine this melody in an epic orchestral arrangement, that's what I'm going for.

Thinking about it now. you're right, piano is very raw and definitely not what this theme will end up sounding like in terms of mood. It will be a lot more upbeat and energetic than this. I'll crack on and have something more to show you later pal!

Quick update: I've been working on this today and am writing a score for 8 trombones. This midi version of what i have so far doesn't do it justice, but at least you can hear how things are progressing mate:

Let's face it, Table 2 has a much higher demand than a tune for Taco. TABLE 2!

Fellas, there's 3 things I need to finish.

I want to be able to whip my hair back and forth whilst playing the Table Game 2, listening to Taco's theme.
