Hi there! New member here. Been a lurker for years, but I've made this account to share some stuff I've been working on. I couldn't find any specific rules against posting your own work/self promotion, so I hope this is okay!
A while ago I started a project I call Theme Parks Reorchestrated, where I take iconic theme park music (mostly UK) and rearrange it in my own style, or with a fun twist. With Towers being my home park, naturally a bunch of them are of rides found there. So I wanted to share them here. Hope you enjoy
The first one I did was this rock inspired version of the iconic Nemesis theme. Because it needed more loud guitars! It was originally created for the Euro Theme Park Archive documentary on the making of the ride. I also provided the music for the SW2 segment (haven't included it here, but it's on my channel) as well as various title stings and audio mixing for the whole documentary. If you haven't seen it already, go check it out! It's fantastic.
Another one I did a while ago is Oblivion, which might be my favourite piece of music at the park. Even though it was originally taken from a stock soundtrack! This is my take on it, combining that classic 90s drum and bass sound with elements of industrial and symphonic metal. My friend at Euro Theme Park Archive provided the video mashup for this one.
This is a funny one... like many people, I'm not the biggest fan of the lighting package they added to Hex when it reopened. It's a bit school disco. So, in a bit of light hearted poking, I made this. Disco Hex!
This macabre medley is my musical tribute to Alton Towers' wonderful ghost train in it's many forms. From The Haunted House, to Duel, to Alton Manor. David Buckley's Duel IS in there, it's just not as obvious as the others cos I forgot to include it at first
Lastly is my most recent piece, which I created for Toxicator. Whilst it takes inspiration from the IMAscore soundtrack, it is largely original. I don't find the official soundtrack all that memorable honestly, so this is how I would've done!
That's all for now. I'll definitely be making more, so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears! And if you like what you hear, please consider dropping a like or a sub. My channel is tiny and it's been difficult to gain traction, so it'd be really appreciated
If anyone is interested, I've also created music for rides at other parks, like Hyperia, Vampire, Bubbleworks etc.
