La Porte du Soleil (new power metal song)
« on: June 17, 2011, 02:28:49 am »


Here is my newest song: La Porte du Soleil. This song is special in some ways: I got the idea in my head back in Early 2001, when I was drawing a comic-based dice-pen RPG of the same name as the song. I imagined what could be the theme song if that D&D-style game comic ever made it into a video game format. However, back then I did not have any software to compose music, and with the years I forgot about the song. In 2011, I started having memories of the idea again, after checking back my old comic books again, and eventually decided to make the song. The difference, however, is that now it's kinda like power metal rather than my original '80s style idea. However, the entire melody until the keyboard solo starts has been in my head for a decade.



In summary, here is a new song from me, that stayed in my head for over a decade before finally making it to a music software.

The style might remind you of Quest for the Legendary Axe, which was used for the Axe Tribute video. The title "La Porte du Soleil" means The Gate of the Sun in English. I kept the name in French because the original story it was gonna be used as intro for was a French game.

Thanks. It was about time I get the idea into a music software. The only other song idea I kept in my head for more than 5 years was Chaos Inside Me and Neo Trance Remix, and LPdS stayed in my head for 11 years x.x.

Yeah it's really crazy. It didn't help that from the time I got my first copy of MTVMG in 2002 until 2011 I never got around making it.

Also, because I had the idea in head for so long and because I used some stuff from Quest for the Legendary Axe then modified them, this new song only took like 7 hours to make.

EDIT: Video made! Check first post. It uses pics from the comic book.

Wow, this song is awesome, DJ!  O.O. This is really enjoyable to listen to, and I think that when I have access to my computer in the morning, I'll put it on my iPod to listen to from now on, like I did with many of your songs :) and on a side note, those drawing aren't nearly as bad as you made them out to be when we talked, they actually look pretty sweet as well :D when you explained them earlier, I was expecting like crap stick figures or something <_<

Yeah I just meant that compared to a lot of stuff I saw here, my drawings are generally much less detailed. I sucked at drawing persons X.x

Well, fine, I agree that the humans sucked, but the monster you made to look cartoony I assume and they actually look very well done.

I love this song! It's like Quest for the Legendary Axe mixed with awesomesauce, with a smattering of Ys for good measure.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

This song is not in OmniPlayer it, I'd love to have it there as I really like it.

DJ, nice to know you're still making music and I want to hear more from you :D

Hopefully I'll start regaining inspiration and motivation to make some more songs. :)
