Today’s download digs deep into the archives of an old video game project I was involved in (circa 2002). The original version of this song is a simple orchestral theme led by an oboe melody.

There’s something ominous about the bass clef and I like exploiting that. And, MIDI instruments sound best in the low bass range because the human ear isn’t as precise in those low wavelengths – so the synthesized instruments sound more realistic than, say, a piccolo or flute in its natural range.
