Machines of War - Hookbot OST

I made this song for ‪@waweezer4584‬'s platformer game, Hookbot (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/vie...)

This is the very first song I started making for the project. It's pretty far outside of what I usually do, and a lot of it was experimental. I tried to go for a vaguely Doom-ish sounding vibe for it with the distorted guitars and harsh synths, since this is for a warzone-like area. The weird scale and time signature was a little difficult to work with, but by far the hardest part was trying to mix it to sound loud but also be dynamic and not clip. I think it turned out decently though.

I used Reaper for both my DAW and video editor. My theme is LCS_Flat-7 and I edited the ReaperThemeZip to support coloring the notes on the MIDI item.
