Davester2296 B-Sides | DAR - The Phobos Anomaly @Davester2296-B | Uploaded June 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Here it is, the first track I've made for "Ultimatum of the Red Planet" (or "RED PLANET" for short). I decided to finally sit down a few days ago and just finally make something for my long awaited "Red Album".
It felt really nice to finally work on an original again (last original I ever worked on was "Iridescence" from HORIZONS). Spent a couple of days working on this song, and then another couple of days drawing the album art (quite proud of my little "Cydonian Marine" as I've nicknamed him).
Anyhow, hopefully we'll all see this album nice and complete sometime in September =)!
Hope you all enjoy this track! ~DAR

Lyrics:
And they fade, they fade
They never seem to think
They never seem to
Whys your media
Propagandized
I see the things we face
How could we be so blind
An empire of hate
That feeds us wrongful lies
I feel Im drowning with you
I cant escape these chains
Is this what they call fate
Would you let me go
If I plead insane
And their fate, they fake
Mentalities, ideologies
Whys our media
Propagandized
I see the things we face
How could we be so blind
An empire of hate
That feeds us wrongful lies
I feel Im drowning with you
And I cant escape these chains
If I plead insane
And I see a painful fate
Would you let me go
If I
If I plead insane
Is this what they call fate
Is this what they call
Fate

![The Operator Shuffle | Wolfenstein Rising OST [MIDI]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w_Vw-RgjXHg/hqdefault.jpg "The Operator Shuffle | Wolfenstein Rising OST [MIDI]
Finished this one back on the same evening that I completed Incendiary. To make up for Incendiary sounding too Doom, I wanted to balance things out with a track that sounded very Wolfenstein3D.
I wanted to keep things fairly simple compared to Incendiary. So first I put down that simple synth bass. I can still picture the Get Psyched! screen loading while the first few notes play.
I also reached for the vibraphone samples (a soundbank I never thought Id wind up using one day). Really gives the track a spy tv show kind of vibe (as Raees had put it). Also threw in some very funky slap bass as well.
This one would probably fit in very well with the more traditional Wolf3d styled maps! ~DAR

![DAR - Hollywood Kills [WIP DEMO 02-11-2023]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yRtS8YxVbKA/hqdefault.jpg "DAR - Hollywood Kills [WIP DEMO 02-11-2023]
At last, the first demo to be uploaded over here! As well as the first upload in at least a couple of years for this channel.
So over the weekend I finished writing and started recording whats probably going to be a song on Vocal Album 2. This also probably has to be one of the darkest songs that Ive written so far. Definitely would call this one a tale of tragedy.
Got inspired to write this one after watching a documentary about organized-crime involvement in the music/entertainment industry ( https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z_y_zeql7pc&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE&t=88 good watch by the way). This, along with various clips of famous musicians talking about how exploitative and predatory the industry is.
Plus, Ive personally heard plenty of stories from various people. Either folks old enough to have a kid fresh out of high school, eager to fly out to some big city to make it big as a musician (usually lured out by some random, supposed hot-shot producer or talent-scout). Only then to wind up broke, in debt, and living back with their parents.
Also had a friend who knew a dude that thought he struck it big after landing a record-deal. My friend was real excited for his buddy. Couple weeks later, my friend tells me how this guys been totally screwed over with the contract.
Always hate seeing this happen to anybody, but especially to the young, ambitious, and naive talents.
So in this song, weve got this young talent that flies himself out to the big city (Los Angeles in this case). Already broke, but determined to make it. He winds up meeting someone that promises to give him everything, in exchange for his life; its the classic Faustian bargain. Time passes, and fame has fizzled out, and our protagonist has been run ragged, with no time for himself (hence the line Didnt even have a life to live in). He begins to question if this was truly what he wanted. He eventually falls into substance-abuse and severe depression, before ultimately taking his own life within the walls of his home in the Hollywood Hills. Our devil/con-man figure, Old Nick winds up coming to either collect his literal soul, or the rights in the death clause, along with the insurance payouts.
Dark song, like I said. Also I absolutely love the basslines that I came up with for this one. As this is a demo, this is far from finished, but the song structure and most of the lyrics are pretty much set. I still need to use EZDrummer, instead of the general MIDI drums. Same thing with the acoustic guitar. Might experiment with some synths and piano. Probably come up with vocal harmonies for the chorus. But thats all a later thing, since I need to get back to Plutonia! Which by the way, MAP11 is going great! Started recording and working on that here yesterday.
When I get the chance Im going to finish up this song, and give it a proper video and release over on the main channel. Hope you all look forward to it! ~DAR

![End of Level | Wolfenstein Rising OST [MIDI] (Wolf3D End of Level Remix)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yuNS3SQoXIE/hqdefault.jpg "End of Level | Wolfenstein Rising OST [MIDI] (Wolf3D End of Level Remix)
So heres another one of the reimagined/extended tracks that Raees had requested for the soundtrack! This is actually one of two end level themes for the project. The other one, which Ive titled Ending The Fight is a pretty jammin rock rendition of the End of Level theme (but Ill get to uploading that one after Ive put out the rest of Volume 1 of the soundtrack).
Taking and expanding upon a short loop is always a challenging (but fun!) exercise in music composition! I really wanted this to retain the mood and feel of the original. Something I did decide to change up however was the tempo. I had debated whether to stick with the original tempo or stick with slowing things down a bit. In the end, I decided to go with the slower tempo to make things sound more dramatic and to kind of convey that feeling of Damn, I really managed to make it through that level somehow!
I added some new string ensemble (and other) parts to go along with this more dramatic atmosphere. I also made some very subtle changes to the french horn sections, timpani/kettle-drums, and synth bass parts.

![The Office of Secret Actions | Wolfenstein Rising OST [MIDI]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zUg5BzWSNnQ/hqdefault.jpg "The Office of Secret Actions | Wolfenstein Rising OST [MIDI]
Im actually very fond of this particular track. Mainly because I remember when Raees first sent over the screenshots of the map, I felt really inspired and I just absolutely loved the design and atmosphere of the level! I also remember being so excited when I finally got to walk around the map for the first time while listening to this MIDI!
A large government building, bustling with men in suits, the ol Stars & Stripes and Union Jack proudly hanging in the busy reception area. BJ had entered into this busy lobby during the night, after narrowly escaping capture by Nazi forces. He was now on his way to report to the Director of the OSA.
This song takes inspiration from the song that plays during the OSA briefings in Return to Castle Wolfenstein (the song itself is actually just titled as Return To Castle Wolfenstein). I really wanted to maintain this somber and heavy atmosphere, in order to go along with the grave situation the world was faced with in the story. Trips to the OSA would be a somewhat frequent occurrence throughout the game (mainly as a means of delivering important plot elements and whatnot).
Anyways, hope you all enjoy the MIDI! ~DAR
