I WONDER WHO STOLE THIS? but also if the artist ever played?


MAYBE IF WE TELL TAKE 2 THEY WILL FILE LAWSUIT, MAKE MYTH FAMOUS, AND HAVE RENEWED INTEREST IN THE SERIES


Now go onto myth, press the preferences, and click the menu music button until you hear the heavy drum track (you can start it over by clicking menu music a few times to return to the same track)

The song at ~15:50 is a remix of an Aphex Twin song. Never heard it before and I'm pretty sure I hate it.

Yeah, it's Alarm Will Sound's acoustic cover of Fingerbib. They did a whole album covering Aphex Twin back in 2005. It's not too shabby.

My opinion on covers goes two ways: either mimic it so well you can't tell it's not the original, or do it so well but differently you have no idea it it's not an original itself. Swapping in real instruments for sampled ones just does nothing for me.

have you guys ever performed in front of a crowd?

one of the greatest natural highs ever

Good video, interesting. Among other things it shows Americas Founding Fathers had it right. To bad we have moved so far from Americas original principles.

People should have enough owner-ship of their ideas to make it worth the effort, so that through that effort and ideas they can help everyone, but that should be temporary and not taken to ridiculous extremes like it is now. The biggest reason it has gotten to this point is moral decline partially through relativism.

With regard to the OP, I think it's fair to conclude that Marty O'Donnel, following the unparalleled success of the Halo franchise, is today likely one the most recognized, influential and imitated composers alive. I'm guessing Paris is referencing the track from Into the Breach (4m36s, see below)?

Postscript. Music has always been integral to bungie games. I remember booting up Marathon 2 for the first time and being blown away by the Power of Seven (aka Paul Sebastien + Michael Salvatori) intro. Oddly enough, I still have the Oni soundtrack by Power of Seven & Marty O'Donnel on my ipod. Power of Seven was also known as psykosonik. They did OSTs for Mortal Kombat games as well, I think.

The original Marathon OST has been brilliantly remixed by Craig Hardgrove and is here



I liked the part in the mutator video where the narrator mentioned that Xerox is one of the major sources of modern personal computers (I also liked the reductionist thesis of the film that all ideas are the result of boolean operations). Because I love this scene in Pirates of Silicon Valley.

Bill Gates was incredibly adept at reverse engineering. There's a quote from this book where Bill basically tells one of the microsoft work groups to "reverse engineer that shit" in reference to the Apple computer OS.

post-grad diploma from a technical college... required an undergraduate degree http://pass-4sure.org/ in my field to enter the program... basically the equivalent of a masters, but more technical, as opposed to research-based/theoretical.

so basically, undergrad taught me the theory and shit... the post-grad gave me the tools to do what i do.
