Threat - Seven Red Suns (Rainworld Fanmade Song)

i feel like i did somewhat alright on this one, could be better but i've got no clue on what to add
music and art is HEAVILY inspired by Roasted's threat themes, very sorry if it seems like i'm copying them

[@gaymerGroup]

If Spearmaster had to manually go back to SRS in the campaign, then I would've wanted to hear this while climbing up the Leg. good job

[@sovitsete6391]

Not gonna lie. If I had to manually go back to Suns after delivering Moon's message, I would certainly kill myself. I was fed up with having to carry that pearl through the precipice with only one freaking hand to defend myself and an abusive spawn of king vultures and cyan lizards! Not saying it wouldn't be cool though

​​@@Draconicfish2679In one of the broadcasts, Seven Red Suns mentions, that Spearmaster's test number is 07.

Fanmade songs can be hit and miss, but this is actually pretty decent!! One tip- this sounds like it’s in pretty standard 4/4, while Rain World threat themes are generally in 5/8 and subconsciously train you to associate that pattern with danger!

For some reason, the fact that the tempo of this track is 4/4 almost makes it feel *more* jarring compared to the 5/8 tracks in Rain World. Like.. the kind of jarring where you finally see the rage of someone who usually doesn't get angry. The tranquil fury of a nice man.

[@God_Yeeter]

i love when people (sometimes accidentally) use aspects of songs that most people won't consciously recognize to give a sense of unease, because this song felt unsettling and i couldn't put my finger on it but when i read this comment it made perfect sense

I audibly gasped when I saw this in my recommended. this is legit amazing. Not only does my favourite Iterator get more attention, they get amazing threat music. I love this so damn much. Wish we had more of SRS.. also I would love to have a extended theme of this

[@bigfrog4231]

augh this is so cool. i love how bassy and deep it is, and especially with the bg art, it gives the impression that srs's can is very dark/blacked out. im imagining running away from mole lizards/spiders and trying to balance lanterns and spears while ascending his can. i can totally see myself in a quiet moment and hearing this start to play, and a miros vulture showing up out of nowhere. i really love the sharp taps in the background too, like electrical zaps- it really makes the song feel so much more mechanic. ive never heard a fanmade rain world song before but this feels straight up out of the game, you did a very good job !!

[@towhee3400]

Oooh, i love how metallic and industrial this sounds!! The electric "zappy" tones in the background evoke the image of a Tesla coil in my mind, which is so fun. The layer that comes in at 1:35 (idk the name for the "instrument" lol) was really nice as well, adds a good sense of urgency over the lingering dread in the background with those heavier beats. My only potential critique would be it feels a bit too... Sedated? (I think thats the word im looking for.) The game's threat themes feel a bit more "punchy", if that makes sense. (A music expert, i am not, LMAO) Speeding the video up 1.25x honestly solved that for me tho, and even without the alteration it's a very enjoyable song! It personifies the anxiety and dread i imagine SRS feels over this whole situation with Moon and Pebbles. Definitely a favorite out of the RW fan songs I've heard ^^

[@Draconicfish2679]

I feel like this song would fit the exterior of one of my iterator OC's (named Six Dancing Stones, or SDS) pretty well. SDS is in not the best shape, due to being built right next to a volcano, which, dormant when they were built, has now became very active (post mass-ascension), and their structure is suffering from the heat and from some debris thrown out by volcanic explosions that hit their structure. Basically, the region would be very volcanic, somewhat falling apart from debris thrown out by the volcanic explosions, and very, very dangerous. I just feel like this theme would fit a volcanic region very well, which SDS's exterior is both an iterator, which this song was made for, and a volcanic region.

you're wondering what to use, whereas i'm over here wondering HOW to do (specifically on the hunk of junk that is garageband with it's "amazing" sound selection in some areas even with producer packs)😭😭😭 like fr i've made 4-5 attempts at a threat theme and only 1 kind of sounds like a threat theme even though it's just all percussion layers. maybe my problem is making the music before anything? idk i've noticed the music i've made with theming and reason seems to sound better than the music/unformatted loops made on a whim (most of those are the threat themes i've tried to make) because an instrument sounded good edit: all that see this in the future don't make the same mistakes i did, just tried making music with a directed theme and some workarounds to features not in garageband and it sounds so much better i cannot even explain it

[@echo_ify]

do you have any instruments i could use? was thinking of making an nsh threat theme :D

[@astralplains]

can't really think of any specific instruments since i'm fairly new to making threat themes, but perhaps you could try synth-based ones for the bass and/or arps? i recommend using instruments that seem more "otherworldly" kinda like what you hear in the superstructure and LTTM threat themes :) (although i think most of this is irrelevant if you're planning on giving it a non-serious feel, lol)
