532 Lost Tribe - The Age of The Beasts v2.1



Does anybody remember my long posts in Sep 2015? It was "The Age of The Beasts", which was featured the fictional history based on the so-called northern crusades in the later middle age?

Teutonic Orders, Livonian Brothers of the Swords, and the lost tribe, Old Prussians. And a Wolf. It is definitely a fiction but based on what happened there in some senses.

This video, my first trial of theatrical track with dramatic sound samples, is one of my best favorite out of my 2017 works.

The monochrome old-style film at the beginning with the tribal drum struck is followed by the melancholic sound with laughing and whispering vocal samples with the sepia-like film. Again, the mood changes. With tribal drums again. And it goes on to the finale with some oriental sound, which is inspired by the tensed scene of Kabuki.


The tracks are made with both NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and Soundiron packages. while NI brings drum kits and part instruments, what Soundiron brings here are Apocalypse Percussion Micro, which is a beginners set of sampled acoustic drums around world especially eastern Mediterranean regions, and Voice of Gaia, which is a compilation of voices of four male and female vocalists, which is very mythical as to its name, but no so religious. To tell the truth, the other chorus sets sound very christian style, but this pack is more pagan tense. You fan feel the sacred power of the Earth but there is no God there. More like spiritual. That's why I chose this package for this movie.
