Deep in the Mechanicum | Dark Epic Warhammer 40k Inspired Music

[@jkdragonjk6895]

Now this, this is a great soundtrack. Feels like ambience from a game that takes place on a forge world in 40k. Super cool

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! Yeah that's exactly what I was going for.

[@ronintheronin8035]

That buildup is INSANE. I just heard the grinding of gears, the building chants of the techpriests, the whispers of the machinespirit and the dying shrieks of the omnissiah.

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! Good description.

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! Working on another now.

[@aethersflamessv]

I'm very new to 40k but fell in love with the Adeptus Mechanicus and their whole attitude and aesthetic immediately. this song makes me think of my little tech-priest oc climbing and crawling into the inner-parts of some giant machine to perform ritual repairs, perhaps deal with a particularly rambunctious machine spirit too, hence the sudden deep rumble-thrums and the chants of her fellow tech-priests outside down below to bring a semblance of stability.

[@Archotechna]

Love it. I was the same when I first encountered AdMech. Glad my music is sparking your imagination!

[@lucasvisser3864]

Omnissiah bless thee in thine endeavors. May thy future tunes be as holy as this. None may stay our march!

Found the artist from a reddit thread and my is this INSANELY GOOD HOLY CRAP! Have listened to every song and they are just all that stunning!

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! I'm really happy you like my music.

[@budgierigarz]

Your kind cling to your flesh, like it will not wither and fail you

[@envoyroth]

I've awaited you since I first heard Children of Omnissiah. This type of music is a hidden gem that just needs talented people to branch it out. Please keep up the great work. I look forward to the next of this great adventure you're creating.

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! I had been feeling the same way, so I decided to take it into my own hands. Appreciate the support.

[@BlackPsionic]

Dunno what else to say but you fuckin' nailed the feel of a Mechanicus Temple or ritual. I can see a lone tech-priest walking down a hallway with servitors in tow, tending to some great and grand machine as it slowly awakens under the priests' care. Then at 1:49 when the roaring and rumbling stops and the machine's awakening finishes they just offer a quiet prayer to the Omnissiah before moving on. 10/10 work man. Hope to see more of this, something about it just speaks to my soul.

[@Archotechna]

Love this, I'm really happy it got your imagination going. It's so cool hearing about what people picture while listening to it. I'll be releasing another next week sometime, would love to hear your thoughts on that too.

[@Promethean_NZ]

Finally someone making this kind of music. Been wanting this for so long, be sure to do one similar to Children of the Omnissiah

[@Archotechna]

Legit I felt exactly the same, it's why I tried to make this kind of music. This track was hugely inspired by Children of the Omnissiah.

[@envoyroth]

Ha I just posted a comment saying the exact same thing. We are witnessing the sprouts of a new era.

[@bocktordaytona5656]

The rithm of this one reminds me a bit: KEEP SPENDING MOST THERE TIME LIVING IN THE OMNISIAH PARADISE!

[@Archotechna]

😂

[@chapado78]

This sounds more like a: Kingdom Two Crowns 40K DLC

[@ВалерийВалериев-ж7ж]

Это просто великолепно! Слушаю безотрывно. Полная синергия с атмосферой оригинальной игры.

[@jahjah7940]

Amazing work. My weak flesh responded with goosebumps all over the skin tissue.

[@clusterflood]

i've been ITCHING for more music in this 'genre', thank you very much

[@Archotechna]

Yeah, I was feeling the same. That's why I started. There's gonna be a new Mechanicus game/ost soon too!

[@crimsontengu8186]

Blessed be you and your talent Archotechna magos.

[@mr-pebble]

Again! Very clean organ and choir, that one can actually make out! Brilliant!

[@argatan7982]

I ll will be using your soundtracks for my tabletop RPG tonight ! Can’t wait for my players to visit the crown of Graïa, a holy sanctum of the Mechanicus ! The quality of your OSTs is really impressive !

[@Archotechna]

Nice! I'm glad you're getting good use out of them.

[@jose81593]

Loved it! It maybe a 40k homage. But I will probably have it on repeat for when I’m at my RPG Lancer games. Loving the feel of a mech walking to this.

[@Archotechna]

Never heard of RPG Lancer until this comment, some of the art looks sick. Definitely going to save some for inspiration.

[@riojanum]

This is phenomenal, the only detractor is that it doesn't loop very well. Regardless it is a work of art, thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@Archotechna]

Awesome, happy to hear it!

[@Walaxy89]

This is the Best one of the three you got on this Channel

[@Archotechna]

Thanks. I’m most happy with my 3rd one at the moment, but this one might capture the grim dark vibe the best.

[@TotallyDapper]

I’m so excited for this. Mechanicus music is so cool, there needs to be more. And here you are, making it!

[@armageddon6847]

This piece and your newer one are simply amazing! I love this niche kind of genre. Since the first time I heard Children of the Omnissiah I've been trying to make this kind of music also, but I never understood how these growling basses were made. Seeing you accomplish this piece of art though, inspires me. Greatly appreciate your work and instant sub! Keep it up!

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, my synth design still needs a lot of work in my opinion but if you have any questions about it I'm happy to help. I still listen to the Mechanicus OST frequently for sound design inspiration. Happy I could inspire you.

[@armageddon6847]

@@Archotechna Thanks for your reply! If I may ask: What do you use for your synth design and how did you learn synth design? My synth design is definitely not as good as yours.

[@Archotechna]

@@armageddon6847 I use lots of different synths. My main being Omnisphere, Vital, and Massive X. I've been doing this a long time so I've just gradually improved through practise and watching tutorials. Unfortunately the internet is super saturated with tutorials now so it can be hard to find good ones. Two ways I've found really good that have helped me learn is 1. Find a preset that you like the sound of and reverse engineer it. 2. Find a cool synth sound in a track you like (better if it's relatively isolated) and just fiddle around on a synth trying your best to match the sound. Also, when coming up with sounds to use in tracks I frequently start with a preset I like and just alter it until I'm happy with how it fits in the track. That's what I did for the bass in this track.

[@armageddon6847]

@@Archotechna Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!

[@DreamClinicOfficial]

Nice work brother! defo got the children of omni vibe... I'm something of a Warhammer artist myself 😉 so look forward to hearing more

[@Archotechna]

Yeah, Children of the Omnissiah is definitely the vibe I was aiming for, amazing track. And hey I thought I recognised your name haha, welcome to the channel mate and keep up the good work yourself!

[@pieroguy]

This is so fucking good praise be to Omnissiah!

[@CrusadingJello]

Loved this! Happy to say I'm the 129th Cog in the great machine. But yeah, the song is great! It definitely captures the feeling of the Mechanicus when it's not being portrayed as something super grimdark, but more based around the technological religion that it is.

[@Archotechna]

Thanks, and welcome. I do like grimdark, so hopefully I can get some more elements of it in my future tracks.

[@Andreas-jp2ki]

Its just perfect. A masterpiece truly

[@Slayer-zd8ph]

This song makes me think at the start its a great large piece of machinery being constructed in a manufatorum on a forge wolrd as its nearing the end of its construction around 1:00 we see that its a major piece for a god engine as its going through the final blessings and rites of construction then at 1:26 the piece is being lifted up and placed as the control center of the god engine and from there it is slowly being connected and constructed into it and once its done the tech Priests and Magos are finishing the ritual of awakening after the cockpit is brought online to see all of the panels light up and activate showing that the god engine is an Imperitor class

[@Archotechna]

Nice. That's cool that it conjures up clear imagery for you when you listen to it. For this track I kinda just tried to capture the essence of the Mechanicus in a general sense, but your description fits great.

[@Vince_86]

Mechanicus game needs to hire you. Omg praise the omnissiah. (not the emperor) for you!

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! Although I take the compliment, I think the Mechanicus soundtrack is in safe hands with Guillaume David.

[@PuffsGaming81]

This is cool!

[@drew3n]

Nailed it, if you feel the urge hit, I would love some more steady tracks, for DND and study music.

[@Archotechna]

Thanks! I'll definitely get around to making some more steady tracks.

[@TheLightensoul]

A perfect soundtrack to play at the beginning of my new stellaris campaign for my cybernatic creed empire :)

[@Archotechna]

The new DLC looks awesome, It'll hopefully have some amazing new music too. Some more pipe organ coming in the next track :)

[@megan00b8]

I have made an extended cut of this amazing music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ2ye6SHi69_jMU I've made this because I love the track but it is too short to listen to seamlessly on loop while reading or studying. This is only a temporary thing until an official extended version is released, and is only accessible through this comment so that only those who have listened to the original can get to mine. Please don't share the link so it stays that way. I claim no credit and deserve no praise.

[@petrorlov2599]

you deserve praise for being so considerate of the author at the very least. That's very sweet of you

The flesh is weak. Found this via Reddit. Great homage to OST. Make more and post so we can pay you.

[@treznorify]

Nice, a new 40k music channel. However, I think this kind of music works better on long format (looped) if I may suggest.

[@Archotechna]

I've seen a few of those with more ambient tracks, but it might be too repetitive with one of mine in my opinion. Once I have made a few tracks I'll be open to making a looping album so that people can listen on repeat without the video being too noticeably repetitive.

The voices are real, if we managed to decode them, it could give us access to the Necrons command protocols, the artifact... - Enough. Marshall, take him away. - Don't you think that's strange? - whispered a techpriest in the audience. - He would have more of a place among the Stygies VIII, replied his neighbor. - A repugnant idea, I was talking about these voices. how come he is the only one who hears them. - Hypothesis: The artifact may have corrupted his brain implants - Hypothesis: valid, I need to talk to him, if such a power exists, our order would greatly benefit from it. With caution of course. - Extreme caution, or you will share the same fate.

So good, I get high from this music

[@serd4063]

I was wondering a bit in regards to the creation of this song where do you usually get the resources and samples from and is there a favorite synth or plugins you use. that you think is interesting.

[@Archotechna]

Pretty much all the harmonic elements used in this track are virtual instruments. Notable instruments are the choirs from Metropolis Ark 2, the synths are made in Omnisphere (Undercurrent extension) and Massive X, and the organ is from Sonuscore - The Orchestra Complete 3. Lots of the percussive and sfx elements originate from samples or are designed in the synths mentioned previously. My favourite synth is probably Omnisphere as it comes with a lot of fx and audio samples for sound design so you can get pretty creative with it. I hope that helps!

[@serd4063]

@@Archotechna In that case I'm cursious have you tried other versions of Metropolis ark by any chance, how was it in your opinion? Because I had a listen of ark 1 I considered it to be quite decent.

[@Archotechna]

@@serd4063 Yes, I have them all 😅I'm a huge fan of Orchestral Tools products and definitely invested a lot in it years ago. If it's something you're interested in yourself I would highly recommend taking the approach of buying individual instruments as I find I don't use most of them. Ark 1 has amazing low strings and pretty good choirs too, I don't use too much more from it though.

[@serd4063]

@@Archotechna Oh yeah recently I've gotten a headphone amp and better headphones and it actually elevated the music. The headphones were towards a wider soundstage so it elevates the choir and the drop that happened at 1:37 and there was a particular sound you could hear from 1 side to the other at like 1:50.

[@DIGSFBBAWTDHY]

Wouldn't it be that by using a machine to create the image for your music, you are just honoring the machine God more?

[@Archotechna]

It really depends what your philosophy on AI is. In my opinion art producing AI wouldn't be qualified as AI in the 40k universe. It's not thinking for itself in any sentient way. But if you do believe it qualifies as AI then it is considered heretical to the Adeptus Mechanicus, and any dabbling with it is a death sentence. They refer to it as 'Abominable Intelligence'. Either way, I'd prefer to commission art from humans as I get deeper appreciation from it that way.
