Composer Notes on this Background Music
Strong metallic beats, stabbing strings and sweeping horns come together in this free track. The inspiration for this sci-fi based background music and for all my industrial sci-fi music is the classic 1991 film, Terminator 2, Judgement Day, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and the video game “Fallout” by Bethesda
The idea of a dystopia nuked world run by cyborgs or higher artificial intelligence always fascinated me and this is one of my favourite films of all time.
The soundtrack to Terminator 2 is very sparse with lots of low ominous notes and industrial sounds. This is something I always loved about the film score as so much emotion was portrayed using so few instruments.
In this track, I use metallic drums to mimic the sound of machines working, high stabbing violins to give a sense of panic and attack and deep low horns to underscore the whole tune with an ominous and dark feeling making this background music suitable for films or video games with a robotic, steampunk, industrial sci-fi or dystopia vibe.
