If you recall, I was very impressed with Stephen Rippy’s score for Halo Wars earlier this year. It featured some great electronic ambiance and was a bit of a departure from Marty O’Donnell’s Halo sound. Well, on that note, Rippy wants you to take the music in an even different direction, and has just posted up some instrument stems for fans to go wild with on his website.
I’ve never been one to be able to create remix with stems, but I know there are people out there who can do it. I think it’s really cool that he’s been given permission to post these files, as big companies like Microsoft are usually pretty protective of their game content. In any event, I’m looking forward to hearing what anyone is able to turn out, so get crackin’!
Have any thoughts looking back at the music of Halo Wars? Is there a particular style that you’d like to see remixers tackle this time around?
