So mail me at... metsys_seteam.com THE STORY: You've been kept prisoner for nearly three weeks now, just waiting for your execution. You sit huddled in a corner waiting... just waiting... Staring at the dark charcoal walls of your cell... A sound at the door! Quickly you come to your feet and stand at its side. A guard steps in. Quickly, form behind, you knock him away from the door, and cover his face so that he can not make a sound... You feel as he becomes limp, and you let him fall. Searching his body you find nothing but a key card -- you take it and run. A quick look around -- the guards have spotted you out side your cell. With adrenaline saturatinog your blood, you spot the main doors and run... You slam into the doors half expecting them to open for you, you try and open them only to find that they are locked... "keycard" you think. Ha! you unlock the door and dart outside. Outside, search lights break the darkness as they scan over the darkened earth. One hundred meters ahead you see a thirteen foot fence, with all your might you rush for it. A beam of light catches you, you hear voices and a siren whine. As the fence comes near, a feeling as if you could just rip through the fence and escape washes over you. The sound of guards loading their guns pierce through your mind above the sound of your beating heart and rasping breath. You hit the fence and climb with a rate like unto flight. The sound of gunfire and the razor wire ripping your flesh doesn't register in your conscious mind. At the top of the fence, you launch off with a powerful blast at your back, not sure if it was fungire, or you body thrustion its self off to freedom. You land to the ground, scrambling to get on your feet and continue your run. At first you don't recognize the city as your own, many things have changed in such short time. Strange you think... but you continue to run. If your memory serves you well, your only hope is to hide in the Laserium Industrial Complex about four miles southeast. You must make it before sunrise otherwise you will not have a chance without the darkness... You turn down a street and continue your run... You can hear sirens appraching and the sound of a helicopter breaking the air. You dart down a dark alley. You hear sirens screaming in your direction. They are getting closer! You stop and quickly look around for an escape: one of the sewer duct's grating has been broken and is just big enough for you to fit through. Searchlights begin splilling through the sky, one begins its path down the alley. You hear footsteps ony yards away! Finally you slip through and plunge into the tunnels below, just before the guards spot you. THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG: I first got the idea of Laserium after my first game of laser tag (great source of inspiration at the time). At first it was just going to be a techno tune that I was going to make as a video game track, but only about 2 months ago did I decide to have a story and artwork to go with it (to see the artwork go to our web page). I wrote the story first, and then wrote the song to fit the story. My goal for all of my songs was to have each song have a story, and a peice of artwork to go with it. Why just have music alone when you can put so much more crap in with it! The story behind this song is centered around a fugitive in the futuristic city of Laserium (it is called that because of the enourmous amounts of lights the city has). When writing the story I wanted to make it very intense, but yet have breaks every once in a while. This song is centered around that idea of having intense drum tracks, and have sections of the song were you have slow pads and quiet melodies. The greatist thing I learned from this song is tracking a decent drum beat. This song has the best percussion out of all the songs I've done so far. Even though most of them are drum loops, I still learned a bit more about offsetting loops to make different drum beats (see patterns 11 - 14). I also learned some more sneaky tricks like using the volume column for panning positions (a feature I didn't know about till now). This is also the first song that I actually just sat down and worked on. I used no previous ideas, and no deadlines. I just sat down and composed. I tryed to get a song done a month, but I guess a month and a half is not bad. Anyway, this was a fun song... I enjoyed tracking it. SPECIAL THANKS: Lonestar / SEt: For re-writting the storyline. After Life / SEt: For his artistic talent in aiding me with the Laserium Artwork (check out our web page for more news on that). Laserline / SEt: For making me change the name. ... and everyone else who bugged the heck out of me to finish this piece. SAMPLE CREDITS: Oh gosh, this is going to be a long list, since there are not very many new instruments, and just about everything is ripped. "Hypnotic Vampire" by Heatseeker, the "Soundwave Sample Collection CD" by Chad Gould, songs from "The Unreal Game Soundtrack" by Michel van den Bos and Alexander Brandon (my hero), "Mechanism Eight", "Isotoxin", "Eden", and "Paranoid Android" by Necros (duhh). "Dance of the Dead" by Chromatic Dragon, "Tranquility" by Leviathan, "Late Shift" by The Zapper! (my favourite song in MC6), "Shades of Night IV: Sea at Dawn" by Basehead, and the rest by me (that whimpy snare) and The Fugitive. GREETS: Virt (great music, cool guy, and for whipping my butt at that 2 hour compo... the same one I got DQed in for using external samples :) ), Basehead (hey, thanks for that gregorian chant lesson), all the guys on SEt, everyone on #trax, and all the members of the IMM... umm, I guess that just about covers it. Oh, almost forgot, big hello to all the guys at Straylight Productions. Okay, time to work on the rest of the songs for Laserium. Until then, have a great summer (and if you live in California, and hot one). - Glen Moyes (Metsys) metsys_seteam.com metsys_bigfoot.com ICQ: 20906082 June/22/1999
