More Christmas festive music with the game music from my game I made also called Festive Word Searches and can be found on this website. I used Omnisphere and the V Collection by Arturia for the synths and basses and the Mars collection for the drums which span from Roland 808, Roland 606 and the Lindrum. There are four-word searches and each game comes with a new song and also there is a game over music and you pass music with also the main menu music. The songs are themed with the word search and are linked with the part of the game and there are an original version and the in-game alternative version which was meant to be shorter but they are actually quite long. I wanted them shorter to fit with the game time length but I forgot and made full versions but it doesn’t matter and anyway, I can never make short songs they are from a span of six to twelve minutes some longer than that. I made all the stuff in the game myself and that is what I enjoy doing the most and of course making the music which is my second favourite thing to do but it’s pretty fun making backgrounds, buttons and other stuff I really like getting stuck in and all hands on deck kind of projects it keeps me busy lol. The first track Festive Word Searches is the main theme and is the main menu music in the game. I like the bells and the bass pattern sounds like something you could lounge to and just hang loose. I added bells throughout the track to make it Christmasy and I like the pattern to it makes it feel like a Christmas song or something you could have on around Christmas and also winter as it also feels like a winter song and you are in a snowy field with wild animals running around you. The next track Festive Word Searches – Alternative Version is the in-game version and the alternative to the first original track which like all the alternative versions I rearranged into something a little different removing parts and rearranging the patterns into the alternative version. For the next track What A Saint I used chiors from Omnisphere and the bass from the Mini by Arturia. It’s one of my favourites on the album as I like the swing to it it makes you bop your head and reminds me of 80s Hip Hop Boogaloo music well the bass does. I also like the synths that go throughout it and I think makes the track into something. The next track What A Saint – Alternative Version is the Alternative to the original version with also the same name and is part of the in-game music and is part of the first word search the St Nicholas word search. The next track is Saint’s Sack. I like this one and just like the feel to it it sounds like something you would have for game over music or instructions videos it is also something you could have for a segment for TV or have on in the background for background music. The next track Saint’s Sack – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original track with also the same name and is part of the in-game music. Like the others, I rearranged it to something different swapping things back to front and taking bits out and replacing them with something new. The next track Noughty Naughty is another favourite on the album as I like the claps and the un-even bass. I like the choir synth sound too the claps come from the Roland 808 which I think partly makes the song into something and is one to chill to at home or wherever. The next track Noughty Naughty – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original track also with the same name and is part of the in-game music. The next track Drag U To Hell is a dark and dingy track since Krampus isn’t that much of a nice person and drags the naughty kids to hell and even drowns them which I think is quite festive lol that was a joke. I used one of my own plugins for this song and I think it was the Dungeon VST Plugin which I made a year ago now and never used it so I thought I give it a quick whisk. The next track Drag U To Hell – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original also with the same name and is part of the Krampus in-game word search. The next track Chains is another dark and dingy track. I like the bass and the dark synths which again I found in the Dungeon VST plugin I made and can be found on my other website gasnolight.co.uk It’s a favourite on the album as I like the bass and the synths on top it makes it sound creepy but nice and something you could be dragged to hell with. The next track Chains – Alternative Version is part of the Krampus You Lose music and is the alternative version to the original with also the same name. The next track Spared For Another Year is another dark and dingy song for the Krampus collection of tracks. I like the bass to this one and the other synths make it dark and dingy which I think goes with the hell theme in that part of the game. The next track Spared For Another Year – Alternative Version is the in-game version of the Krampus you win music and is the alternative version to the original track also with the same name. It’s another favourite on the album as again I like the dark and dingy feel to it and the rhythms of the track. The next track Christmas Gathering is a Christmas song which I like a lot. I like the bells and the other stuff also I like the sine bass which I think was part of the Mini from the V Collection by Artuia or it may have been from Omnisphere which I used quite a lot in this project. The next track Christmas Gathering – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original also with the same name and is part of the in-game music for the Christmas word search. The next track Deer In The Snow is a snowy feel track that reminds me of being in the snow and coming across some wild deer so I called it that. It’s definitely icy and one to have on while it’s snowing and you are indoors or outdoors making snowmen.  The next track Deer In The Snow – Alternative Version is the in-game version for the Christmas word search and is the alternative version to the original also with the same name. The next song Christmas Goodluck is another favourite on the album as I like the bells and the claps I like to put claps in my tracks now and then for difference and also I love putting them in my tracks. I also like the bass which I found in Omnsiphere which I think makes it into a bit of a funky track. The last track Christmas Goodluck – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original track also with the same name and is part of the you win music for the Christmas word search.
