>Not wanting jeremy soule in your shitty game to make it x99 times better only with his music
>Has to do a fucking test for free to see if hes music is good for a game
>asking Jeremy Soule to do a free demo
What in the actual fuck?
Just go play one of the dozens of games that he's done the soundtrack for.
has to be 343 or whoever is making halo these days
they already fucked over their last huge name composer so it's obvious it's them
>>332409492
343/Microsoft makes the most sense.
Usually, "free demos" and "art tests" are a way for publishers to get free work from young artists who are just starting out.
The modus operandi is that you contact as many nameless artists as you can and ask each of them to do an art test. And take their work and tell every single one of them that they're not the right person.
Trying to pull that trick on jeremy soule is downright disrespectful. baka desu senpai.
Jeremy Soule is pretty much exclusively a Fantasy composer so it'd have to be a company making fantasy games.
Supposedly the company makes $5.5 billion in games specifically. Either Sony or Microsoft it seems.
Is he the faggot responsible for the OSTs of The Cuck Scrolls games?
Low Energy
>>332409492
>>332409661
>>332409904
Bioware maybe?
>>332409757
Is that legal? I'm not an artist but I'd protect myself with a contract like "You can only use this free sample if you end up hiring me for the project"
>>332410054
obvious teenager trying to fit in
>>332410147
>Bioware maybe?
damn maybe. EA would be the publisher and they're dumb enough to tell himt hat
Does EA have 5.5 billion in revenue though?
He's not wrong though. Agencies love to ask creative people to work for free. It's complete bullshit.
>>332409904
But it'd be neither of them because both have studios that produce highly profitable AAA titles and he said the publisher hasn't had a hit in years.
>>332410054
Nigga are you thinking of a different series? while the game play of the games maybe subpar the music is fantastic
>>332410161
>hurr durr muh Elder Scrolls were cool, except the last 2 and the first two I didnt play because it was before I was born
>muh Morrowind
>>332410275
>he said the publisher hasn't had a hit in years.
Does that necessarily mean financially though? Soule isn't an outsider to gaming, I wouldn't be surprised if he just meant a particularly great game.
>>332410147
If you try to do anything but agree to their terms, they'll just ignore you and move on to the next person or try to bullshit you into agreeing.
Because they're a big company with all the money and you're the nameless artist, they expect you to agree just for the non-existant change of getting hired. They especially love preying on the fans of their own products, like if you have lots of fanart of their game or something.
>>332410312
how old are you seriously lmao
>>332410147
He literally made the music for KOTOR you plebs
>>332410415
old enough to fuck you're mum
>>332410147
Oh, forgot the most important bit.
They don't have to use the work verbatim, just the elements and ideas present in the work.
If you design something for free and show them, they won't steal the image, they'll steal the design.
Good luck proving anything after that.
>asking for a free demo from Jeremy soule himself.
What are they smoking?
>>332409292
>asking Jeremy Soule a fucking demo
GEE, HOW ABOUT GOIN ON YOUTUBE AND LISTENING TO HIS SHIT DIRECTLY, FUCKING HACKS
>>332410460
if this shit ain't obvious this nigga is baiting hard
>>332410342
If he considers his highest profile games (Elderscrolls) to be laudable then he can't talk badly about Halo or Uncharted.
>>332409292
Jeremy Soule's creative zenith was in 2006. After that everything was low-intensity, bland and unimaginative.
Just put on a game of Morrowind, Oblivion or Guild Wars and sink into the music. It's gripping, radiant and mixed well. I have a hard time making out the music in Skyrim. It's just ambient background waffle to be honest.
I kind of reject the notion that just having him in your game makes it 99x better. That being said, trying to contract free work from a renowned professional is a downright con-artist business practise.
>>332409292
Can't they just Youtube his folio?
>>332410528
Have you seen the reception for Oblivion/Skyrim? I think he can.
>But again, this is a game publisher that hasn't had a hit in a long while
EA.
>>332410509
>release text based "RPG" in fucking 2002
>permavirgins defend it 14 years later
>>332410576
Anon they know who he is, they're just looking for cheap free music.
>>332409757
Can't up n coming artist copy right their work so that they don't just take it for free though? I've heard and seen this "give us samples" so that companies take them as "gifts" from the artist, but they can also copy right their craft to protect themselves from this bullshit too.
>>332410559
>After that everything was low-intensity, bland and unimaginative
Someone didn't listen to the GW2 soundtrack.
Soule is really shitty as a person and a literal jew (he also literally compared pirating his music to Holocaust, I shit you not) but he's in the right here.
>mfw jews are trying to outjew a jew
Guild Wars 1 soundtrack still gets me every time.
Great composer.
>>332410487
they perfectly know his body of work, it's some hamfisted intimidation tactic they'd pull with soundcloud-tier applicants
>>332410638
>>332409292
huh, old publisher no hits according to jeremy
Sega? but they have alien isolation and total war which are hits
one could argue activision which doesn't ahve new IP at all
then there is EA,new IPs of which are terrible or non existent
i'd wager it's EA they have no appreciation of talent
>>332410685
WHAT?! GW2 was rehashed GW1 music.
>>332410601
But the same thing goes for the other series. Highly successful both critically and financially yet all three franchises are dumb down gameplay wise to attract a big audience. He can't say a studio hasn't had a hit in awhile when they have the backing of studios producing some of the biggest names in gaming today.
>>332410651
Well that's very faggotry considering all the great tracks he made even non-RPG tracks e.g. Dawn of War
>>332410736
>he also literally compared pirating his music to Holocaust
who gives a shit
are you a teenager who can't afford to buy music, lmao
>>332410736
>he also literally compared pirating his music to Holocaust
haha what?
>>332410818
>complete first main quest
>50% of the game complete
>>332410657
You can do that, but then they'll just say "no" and you've wasted time on a piece that is tailored to THEIR demands that they won't buy. What are you going to do with a copyrighted piece that you can't monetize?
Since you're the one wasting your time, any kind of work should be done with payment in advance.
So yeah, never do free work without payment, ever, for any reason. You'll get fucked over.
Thats the kind of jewish practices id expect out of ea or Activision actuall
>>332410826
So you didn't listen to the soundtrack?
>Fuck this studio for asking me to do unpaid work, but I wont name them though
Why did he even open his mouth at all?
>>332410627
Depends what you class as a hit. Inquisition was a critical and commercial success, and Battlefront sold more than even expectations.
Both were shit games, but they were hits.
It's really hard to know who he might be talking about because all of the billion dollar publishers I can think of make games that are massive hits. They might be utter shite (Call of Duty) or creatively void (EA), but they still make hits. It can't be Bethesda because they've worked together frequently.
Nexon perhaps?
>>332410958
I did. Outside of Fear Not This Night, there's literally nothing new.
>>332410912

>>332410978
NDA you idiot.
>Asking for a demo
>From Jeremy Soule
Have they tried that Oo-eh Matt Su guy or whatever? Maybe he'll be ok with providing some demos.
>>332410559
>is a downright con-artist business practise
it's pretty dumb too, I doubt he has problem finding work considering he's probably one of the most well known composer in the industry
You could get away with that shit with a desperate young artist trying to make it but a well known professional? Complete idiocy.
>>332410843
Ebin anon.
I'm not even talking about the holocaust denial argument.
I'm laughing at the fact how stupid he is for actually comparing pirating a musical piece to killing of 6 gorillion.
>>332410857
>But forget the Pirate Bay… Piracy is now mainstream. Not since the Holocaust have we seen so many people of a select group forcibly stripped of their livelihoods in a public euphoria of false morals. As one who is of Jewish descent, I can say that I make this statement in a very narrow fashion, but there are similarities. Creators are being vilified, laughed off and treated with indifference by scary multitudes of people who care not for artists’ lives or liberties–let alone the concerns involved in the making of art. The new “norm” is being heralded as “liberation” from the “contrived” and “unfair” standards of fees and payments that have traditionally been worked out in a fair market society. Instead, this is the new unfair market society. The “Jews” in this valid analogy are creators. We are losing our homes, our futures and our ability to take care of our children. Laugh. I dare you. And unlike the streetlamp lighters, the world still needs creators!
>>332409904
composed for KotOR too
>>332409292
Artist here, 3d and 2d.
Art tests are quite neccesary because just cause you have one nice thing in your portfolio, what\s to say it didn\t take you a month to make it.
It is, however, shitty to take an absolute god and treat him like an avarage grunt bitch
>>332410978
To rant? It's what normies do on social media these days.
>>332409292

And I don't give a shit, because I really don't care about what he thinks about piracy. I have a job that pays for music and he makes good music.

That's literally fucking SEGA. No other big publisher fits the bill.
>>332410736
he's not a shitty person; I can personally testify. He's right about music though.But it's not piracy that's killing musicians, it's spotify.
>>332411217
for real? no wonder it seemed way above their studio
>>332409292
>literally who turning down multi-billion dollar company just because he made some tracks for famous games
grow up, people involved in the gaming industry are no ones.
>>332411143
He's easily the most well-known one
>>332411259
Elaborate.
>>332411217
Nah, he didn't compose for WT.
He composed the music for Birds of Prey (a console game released under Sturmovik brand) which was Gaijin's first WW2 flight game. It was later re-released on PC as Wings of Prey.
Gaijin later reused music from it in Birds of Steel, a console sequel which was later ported to PC in evolved form as War Thunder.
>>332411196
I'm casual because I don't enjoy ambient music nor do I give a fuck when game credits roll? This is worse than the e-celeb threads.
Jeremy Soule is fucking washed up as fuck. He hasn't made a truly memorable track in years. His Guild Wars 2 work was absolute shit and thank fucking god they replaced him for the expansion.
Old has-been, do not care about his random facebook barfings.
>>332411057
I mean hey, I can understand the guy not wanting to get ripped off, but comparing it to the holocaust might be a bit extreme
>>332411278

>>332411025
Yeah I'm sure they told him what their secret unannounced game was before even seeing if he was interested, I bet it works just like that.
>>332411274
they are poor though, i'm not sure they break 300m yearly
Why is Jeremy Soule popular anyway
It's 99% generic orchestra noise and maybe 1 or 2 memorable tracks
Skyrim's literal only good track is Ancient Stones
>>332411345
I guess I was lucky.

I particularly love this track from skyrim.

>>332411362
This
His Secret of Evermore shit was a creative departure from things previously seen on a 16-bit console. His Morrowind and Oblivion main themes were fairly memorable, though the additional tracks got stale pretty quickly. Everything else he's done has just been a major yawnfest.

>>332411362
every single one of his old soundtracks is great.
Morrowind, Oblivion, KotOR,Harry Potter 2, Harry Potter 3l are absolutely devastating.
>>332410685
I did. The GW2 music stands in pretty stark contrast to the rehashed GW1 music. In other words, GW2 music sounds even worse, even less intense and compelling when contrasted to the GW1 soundtrack.
I couldn't hum you one tune of the GW2 soundtrack. It's that forgettable.

Art tests aren't neccessary. The client looks at your portfolio and makes a decision. To hire you or not.

I agree, at least with asking for a proffesional. They should probably know exactly what his music sounds like, and if they want to hire him they could suggest certain themes to whatever he produces.
Sure a free composition might be fair if it was an indie dev, asking a indie musician.

They shit out 10 million selling games nearly every year(on 3ds) and often get fellated by critics, so unless you mean hardware hit i doubt they would fit that criteria.

Jeremy Soule is good but he hasn't made a good soundtrack since Guild Wars 1.

That's their problem.

dude... read the quote you just fucking used. Pay special attention to the use of the words "more than"
>>332412173

all hope is lost
I am telling you it is Sega. No one else fits the description so perfectly.
Sawano is a better composer.
>>332412136
What does that have to do with /pol/
Have you SEEN DirectSong? Have you ordered anything from them?
And if you think comparing literally making a COPY of a musical piece to MURDERING 6 GORILLION(implying it even happened)is a fair comparison then you're fucked in the head anon.
If he compared it to 9/11 or literally any other mass murder event I'd laugh at his retardation all the same.
>>332412176
Not to the ones that are employed, but potential employees get treated like shit.
>>332412258
what, am I supposed to be moved by a kind of music I've heard a jillion zillion times before or something?
>>332410247
It's fucking stupid too. You have no idea how many times I've heard "we'll pay you with experience!". No, you fucking pay me with money. You don't ask people at McDonald's to work for experience.
>>332411836
WHERE
EVERYTHING IS SHIT
>>332410912
>What are you going to do with a copyrighted piece that you can't monetize?
Reuse it or make it public domain. Either of these are valid options.
>>332412274
MULTI
BILLION
SEGA is not multi billion
>>332412131
>You're a fucking loser, enjoy getting taken advantage of
This. Any artist willing to work for free for a shot at fame is not only a huge moron who deserves to be taken advantage of but is also hurting other artists by devaluing the work itself.
>>332412173
That would be the best case but we both know that's not happening. Marty would probably just tell them to fuck off no matter what the offer
Bear would be a good choice though, he does:
>strong piano motifs
>loves big drums
>loves nonstandard time signatures
>loves quasi-religious sounding vocals
>loves character-related themes
Tell me you don't hear this as a Halo menu song

>>332412274
It's either SEGA or Microsoft.
>>332412131
"I have no experience how the games industry works"
You sure are stupid.
You'll get better with an art est anwy. I learned loads with my last art test, that lasted 2 weeks.
And good luck finding work that pays without an art test, unless you draw furry porn.
>>332412298
>Have you SEEN DirectSong? Have you ordered anything from them?
Not him but I have, bought the GW1 soundtrack and got a link right after purchasing. Downloaded MP3 zip and that was it.
Have YOU?
>If he compared it to 9/11 or literally any other mass murder event I'd laugh at his retardation all the same.
Seriously do you not have a job to pay for music or something
Nobody gives a shit unless you are such a child that you depend on piracy for all your shit

Sounds like he's butthurt he has to audition to get jobs.
>>332412420
Kinda sounds like it'd be in neo-Halo soundtracks; older soundtracks had a different charm for them. I could see it in Halo 3 though.
>>332411362
This.
He's the Hans Zimmer of video game music: talentless to the core, but the normies eat it up anyway.
Secret of Evermore remains his only good work to date.
>>332412420
Wait what? BSG had a good sountrack? What?
>>332412428
But the new Halo was a huge hit.
>>332412443
Now try to order anything physical you literal fucking shill.

Well, there's your problem.
Why do you want to get into the most oversturated entertainment industry ever, where employees are treated like dirt?
You literally worked for free because "muh vidya". You did work for no compensation.
Did they even hire you? LEL no.
Loser.
>>332411690
Nigga, I learned how to play Glory of Cyrodiil on classic guitar. I've built my own harp, I've taught myself to play it, I learned to play keyboard by myself and I'm learning how to sing. And I try to write my own pieces. That means I'm very concerned with artist who come up with original, compelling music. Soule did that, and doesn't anymore, for whatever reason. And I'm certain he can do it again, but he isn't right now. My life revolves around this shit.
There is a definite, tangible, measurable difference in the intensity and scope of his earlier and later works. Try to say otherwise with a straight face.
>>332411450
>now I'm curious what he'd write the soundtrack for though
>tfw they asked him to do some songs for a new hatsune miku game
>>332412520
I can't believe there are people that tasteless
>>332412520
At least Hans Zimmer can compose something that's interesting to listen to in comparison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1WKLy84amg
This is 100% more interesting than most Soule tracks
>>332412520
He did Total Annihilation
>>332412621
This is you:
>What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
>>332409292

>>332409292
well considering he's one of the most well known i'm not surprised someone wanted a demo to see if he'd fit their body of work before dropping ridiculous sums of money to get the elder scrolls sound track again.
>>332412514
It is a different feel for sure but it's at least memorable, I don't remember a single song from Halo 5
>>332412826
You sure convinced me with your hot opinions!
it was capcom
>>332412607
the piece he posted is the only one I like in the guild wars soundtrack
>>332412591
>i am complaining about a thing that I don't understand nor affects me
>I am shitting on someone who works hard towards their dream, because they aren't a basementdwelling neet
You're completely, utterly fucking retarded, senpai. No wonder you can't go outside
>>332412620
Because it's my dream. The studio was really nice and it's ran by some people I know, so I know working there is nice. I didn't get it but I have some other places lined up.
I don't really give a shit what you think, I know I'll be ,and I allready have been, making games for twats like you.
>>332412621
I learned to play the Mario theme on fruity loops so how about you back the fuck off?
Hey /v/ can you not talk about shit you have no understanding of?
thanks, appreciated

I was talking about you. Comparing Hans to Soule is kind of a disgrace

>>332411987
I don't know what kind of art you make or who you've worked for, but I can promise you that 'art tests' are not legit at all. They're wasting your time. And I know that from experience, you're being used.
Any legit company is going to look at your portfolio and your work experience and your online presence and make a judgement based on that. Actual talent isn't going to waste time doing art tests, and they know that. The companies that can't pick up the actual talent are the ones messing people around with art tests and ending up with low quality artists.
Trust me, having self respect and pride in your work takes you much further than bending over for shitty companies who are promising you the big time.
>>332412887
And in what does the Mario theme have to do with Jeremy Soule's music?

Even better is that BSG was Bear McCreary's literal first gig. He was supposed to just be an assistant composer but the main composer quit before production started.
He also scored the Metalocalypse opera movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4W5ZYJtSkw
>>332409292
I really want to see the dumb sluts who approached him confess on their shitty little tumblr/instagram/twitter account and pathetically attempt to apologize to him and/or damage control their way out.

When you let employers walk over you like a doormat you realize you are not only fucking yourself but setting a precedent for them to fuck others over?
It must be a very sad life being both a spineless wuss and an utter cunt.
>>332413057
Dude, you're a fucking loser who spent two weeks working for free and didn't even get hired at the end. Didn't even get the "exposure" they promised. You're a fucking rube.
You do have passion allright.
Passion for getting bent over, fucked in the ass and abandoned like a barren whore.
>>332413192

Fucking neat, thanks. The Roslin & Adama piece is fucking fantastic in particular. I love it.
>>332412981
Online presence and portfolio tells jack shit about peoples work ethic.
Games industry is the one where you need to shit out shit daily, every day, for 8-12 hours a day.
And once you finally finish it and love it, you'll have to delete it and remake it. Or instead of working on your favorite highpoly spaceships, you have to do cutesy lowpoly chibi shit for a phone game.
Portfolio and online presence does not tell you that they can do that. Art tests are essential and your bitching only means you are all that: a bitch.
>>332412873
>He does it for free
>Didn't get the job
>Stuffed around by "people he knew"

>>332413224
>i don't understand shit.com
Wow keep talking out of your ass.
Every company requires art tests for roles. Unless you're a top dog, get used to them.
Life isn't easy. Enjoy taking out a bank loan when you break your leg, fag.
