Post your fav musical episode for SR

[abstauber]

Hey,

like we have discussed:
please post your favorite  musical episode / musician to appear in the game.

We can also collect more than five and start a poll afterwards if you have that many great ideas

I think the difficulty should increase with each new level. So we could start with reggae and end with heavy metal. It's guitar hero, so I think metal is a must have.

[Creyze Shattbot]

Ending with some mean speed or thrash metal will definitely make for a very nice "final boss" feeling. I know some guys who play in thrash metal bands, they'll certainly give us a piece of their music to use in game.

My suggestions:

- The Surfer Dude:

I love surf music, some friends of mine play in a Surf band, they will absolutely give us one of their tracks for the game: http://www.myspace.com/monokinialder

Also, surfer dudes from the 50s are the hippest kind to ever have walked this earth. Also, a beach is a nice setting and can take every kind of puzzle there is (Imagine: Death on a cliff, offshore, while performing a stunt with his surf guitar in his hands)


- The proud Country rebel

Mainly because I'd like to have a setting where Eric can make full use of the infamous drunk mode and a scrapyard. A scrapyard with an old man and some dogs on it is always fun, isn't it?


- The Titanic Fiddler

We already discussed that, but way to present it again: One of the violin players that sank with the Titanic has also entered the nimbus with his fiddle in his hand - lots of sonar map ship finding and diving fun for all!


- The slightly confused Gentleman of Dodecaphonism

Just because twelve-tone music is so outrageously great. Go Arnold Schönberg!

[abstauber]

I forgot to mention that we actually need someone who can compose all this stuff

Therefore Dodecaphonism (looked it up) sounds awesome, but Arnold Schönberg is already dead Also it's a really tough job to reduce this music to 5 possible notes. Anyway I'd really love to have a classical piece in the game.

The metal theme's also great and it's a pro that Sebastian knows a band which can deliver some tunes.


My addition is:
- yankee doodle piper boy
Imagine a civil war veteran open air museum and maybe exhume a corpse (that always popular )

[Creyze Shattbot]

About the composition stuff: Our sound department can provide anything. Really. If I team up with David, there is literally no musical style we can't come up with, and also I know so many people in pretty good bands - don't worry about that, really.

[abstauber]

Heh, okay I'll stop immediately

New Skype Ideas:

- musician (banjo, violin) on a sunken mississippi steamer 1900
- Janis Joplin 60s
- Buddy Holly flight crash somewhere 50s
- Fats Waller 20s
- Gram Parsons 70s (Redneck junkyard)
- Lucius 80s

[Creyze Shattbot]

Missing: 30s, 40s: female singer? Female instrumentalist? Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Rockmore <---

[abstauber]

Pretty clever setting - we're only missing a drummer... and ta-daa: Eric


edit: According to this list, Gram Parsons would be the current arbiter. Anyone thought about this?
It still would fit, of course.

[Creyze Shattbot]

Ha, that's great. A spaced-out psychedelic arbiter, it will be lots of fun writing dialogue for him. And fighting him, of course. And maybe redeeming him, making Lucius the next arbiter?

[cat]

Would we then use real songs from that persons or "unreleased" songs of them = selfwritten in the same style?

[abstauber]

As far as I get it, these people are just archetypes, so yes: self written in the same style

[cat]

Ok. So, who is going to be the final battle? Lucius? Some 80s Bowie style song would really work as final-boss-song...

[Creyze Shattbot]

I guess it depends on who the two decide to fight: Lucius or the Arbiter - so it would either be 80s wave rock or 70s southern psychedelic rock.

As long as it's rock I'm happy!
