This theme is part of a Dota 2 music pack I'm currently working on: Tales of the Stirring Seas.

This theme plays when you use Smoke of Deceit in-game.

For this composition I took an entirely different approach compared to the smoke themes of other music packs. What I've noticed about the smoke theme of the original music pack is that it feels like a magical and mysterious exploration. The goal of using smoke, however, is to gank and kill! You're hardly exploring anything. As soon as smoke is used, you and your team run off to hunt in the enemy woods. That's why I chose to make this smoke theme feel like you're going out on a hunt.

Another thing about this theme (which I'm a bit proud of) is that the dynamics correspond exactly to how much time you have left on your smoke. The moment the first percussion starts playing, you'll have exactly half of your smoke left. Then, at the part where the intensity suddenly increases with more percussion and modulation, you'll have 5 seconds left on your smoke. This way you know if you should hurry up or not without looking at the green bar around the icon. Cool huh?

I would like to point out that this is my first self-composed material I’ve ever publicly shared and that I haven’t had any formal education in music theory, arrangement or mixing/mastering. I’m in the process of learning. If you have any suggestions, tips or questions, feel free to help me out!

And criticism is also welcome, as long as it’s formulated in a constructive manner ;)!

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
