The Epic Adventure (album)
Preview:
I just finished this album, consisting of moderately paced EDM inspired by the worlds of video games. Since it is inspired by video games, I thought I might publish it here as well as Bandcamp.
The preview song is track 2 - "Quantum."
I don't remember sampling or copying from anyone else, but the equipment that you can hear includes a Korg Minilogue, Korg Volca Drum, Behringer OD400 Overdrive/Distortion, and TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb. Credit to me (Ivan Stanton) is not required, but I do appreciate it.

- Initd - a company logo, or console startup theme
- Quantum - the first level of a platformer

- The Forest Fortress - a castle theme, but a bit more fun than that

Comments
Really would like some feedback on this, if it doesn't get your vote.
Is it Initd the title track? I ask because it starts right into the melody where the others take some time to build. Which is the right choice for a title track, I'm just asking to confirm. Also, is the name by any chance a reference to Unix's Init.d? ;)
Loved the set, all the songs have a kind of somber tone to them, but nonetheless there is plenty of variety in there. Forest Fortress is a highlight for me. Maybe because it's a little more upbeat and I am an optimist. :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Initd is track 1, and it is a reference to init.d. I see it less as a title track and more as a shorter "intro" to the rest of the album; a lot of my favorite artists do similar things (Kraftwerk's track Prologue for the album Tour de France, or C418's track Ki for Minecraft Volume Beta).
This is excellent game music. I used the tracks Negative Altitude, The Forest Fortress, and Quantum in my recent game project. I really liked the eerie quality of Negative Altitude and the how active Quantum is. It feels like it starts out aggressive and then just has this really upbeat quality to it, which was exactly what I was looking for. The Forest Fortress and Quantum both feel like very active songs.
