This track is an “enhanced” version of the original Wrecked Ship theme from Super Metroid. Imagine some scene in an old movie, where Samus enters the Wrecked Ship and searches a way to restore power to the electrical systems of the ship. After a while she finds the main control room and restarts the ship’s main fusion reactor to activate all previously non-functional doors and lights. Eventually she reaches another exit and finds herself in the acid rain of Crateria again.
Since my main goal was to create an interesting ambience, I added various sound effects to this track. One of these sound effects is what you might call “computer noises”. I decided to record real digital communication signals from a computer to create these “computer noises”, which even contain a secret message. Maybe you can decode it …
– VC340 (strings)
– OB-6 (background pad)
– System-100M (sound effects)
– Proteus/1 (choir)
– Proteus/2 (timpani; this sound was used in Super Metroid too)
– KORG A1 (delay/reverb for the Proteus sounds)
– Eventide Eclipse (reverb for the OB-6 sounds)
– PCM-D100 (real world sound effects, including relays, CFL lamps, fans
from an ASR1000 series router, …)
– Cubase Pro 10
– Eventide Blackhole (used for various sound effects)
– Sonnis “GameAudioGDC” SFX library
