White Angel

This song was another pain to master. It took me a lot of tries to finally get everything to sound... well, not-shit. One of the big problems I faced was getting the choir to have the sense of presence I was looking for, which I actually find pretty difficult with EWQL Symphonic Choirs.

My intent for this song was to look at "Teal Hunter" and bring it back to its thematic roots, when I was first composing it (as a song for PM, not Redglare). What I ended up doing was finding the original project file, taking the exact same MIDI data and instruments from it, and building up on it. I took away the FL Studio drum kit and replaced it with some nice big StormDrum 2 instruments, added some more articulations to the brass, and made a new menacing, sort of eerie introduction segment ("Broken Rainbow" was composed immediately after I composed the new segment for this track, using many similar instruments and ideas). And, of course, I added the choir. This song is more of an "updated throwback" to the original than the other four, which were more "re-imaginings".

“Teal Hunter” was originally submitted to the coloUrs and mayhem music contest as a composition about quad-prototyped Peregrine Mendicant fighting Bec Noir; this arrangement brings the song back to its roots.

“Teal Hunter” was originally submitted to coloUrs and mayhem under the title “Bête Blanche”, and yes, it was originally a song for prototyped PM. That is what “White Angel” refers to. It’s a bonus remix of “Teal Hunter” referring to the song’s intended character.
