Darren Curtis Music | Hybrid Experimental Día de Muertos Type Theme "Dance of the Dead" Royalty Free Music @DarrenCurtisMusic | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Today we have an experimental one. "Dance of the Dead" for some reason reminded me of some kind of hybrid take on the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos. I know it doesn't necessarily sound Mexican or Spanish in nature per se, but the way everything came together, it's just where my mind was led.
It has an upbeat rhythm and sounds like it could be played at a festival, but also has a crazy lead melody on the Virginal that gave it a dark fantasy, "Night Before Christmas" feeling.
Anyway, whatever it is, it is. It's a little different sounding at least, so there's that!

First off we have Times Running Out. We have some off-kilter piano, low punchy bass hits and the ever increasing sound of a clock ticking in the background. This is a tension-building track I imagined could fit in some Noir film or show where our detectives are looking for a kidnapped victim and theyre on a very strict timetable.
Our second piece is Heavens Dream. It starts with light, fading strings and a harp to put us in that ethereal frame of mind. The flutes and whistles enter to carry our main melody and whisk us away into the sky. Toward the end the harp and lute raise an octave for a nice soft send-off.
The third is an unnamed Snes Overworld Theme. I was messing around with retro sounds and found the backing strings I used here. I started playing them in that march-like rhythm and the piece pretty much wrote itself after that. The brass takes the lead and some timpani add some adventurous strength as we explore the land.
Fourth up is Death Ambience. This is a mood setting piece I thought could be used as a dark background track for a cult-like ritual. The deep starting instrument is actually a mangled sitar playing quite lowly and its the cornerstone for this track. The ghostly sounding instrument that takes the lead is a theremin.
The fifth piece is a middle eastern track called Across The Vast Sands. I used some middle eastern sounds strings to place us in the midst of a sprawling desert. The cinematic percussion and flute sections add some depth while the bending horn reinforces the fact were in some Arabic desert.
Next up is Metal Viking. This is a hybrid of sorts featuring heavy percussion and ripping guitars. I imagined a viking character from old thrust into a sort of steampunk or even modern era. This certainly has some dark undertones, but I felt it was more about strength. This viking isnt messing around and hes certainly not intimidated to be out of his element. Hes here to do serious damage.
The seventh is a kind of swing beat hybrid. I used several things in here I havent really touched before, including a weird vocal, laughing kind of effect. The Sax and Clarinets combine to take the lead here. Im not entirely too sure what to say about this one as it was very experimental. Ill say what my parents used to say about me when I was born. It just kind of happened. Haha.
The last track is He Sees, Always. This is purely ambient, background tension stuff. The cello does play a small melody consisting of 3 notes, but its not really a melodic track. I imagined a stalker or horror villain who keeps popping up everywhere I am. Hes watching and waiting. What he wants, I dont know. But its most certainly sinister.
Ill start a private poll for the second tier and higher to cast your vote for the piece you want finished. Voting will end August 30th, so you have plenty of time to decide! Whichever track wins will be completed by the end of the month.
Thanks so much for your patience and continued support! I hope youve all been well and I hope you enjoy the music!

This is a remix of my track called Labyrinth of Lost Dreams. I found the old file and cleaned it up a bit with some newer techniques and tools Ive acquired over the years.
Its got some atmospheric elements mixed with melodic choirs, some piano and strings. It was meant to be a kind of nightmarish fantasy piece where reality was slowly frayed away, leaving us in some kind of alternate reality that feels all too real.

This is an epic orchestral track called I Will Find You. I imagined a stand-off between our hero and villain. A controversial turning point where the protagonist realizes he has to stop this evil being at any cost. It features some fast cello and violins, booming percussion, low brass blasts and some choir.
