I reworked the music of blood 1 between 2007 and 2008 and completed the final version for that time. And yes, I called it rearranged back then, but this is of course no rearrangement in the traditional, ordinary sense. Still, the compositions are so damn good and most parts were already for orchestra, so I edited the files in order to improve the sound and had not much to compose, but it took a long time to change it so that it is pleasing to me: events such as note velocities or track volumes have been adjusted accordingly. Instruments like the timpani have been added to many tracks to create richer orchestral sound. And much more, but there’s hardly anything new, it’s just more orchestral.
Quite some minor corrections to my arrangements and soundfonts are needed, but all midi files were lost because of human mistake (the arrangements are still there) so I am not up to redo everything again. This project shall therefore be deemed completed.
Addendum 2018: I discovered the old midi files on a backup CD. So this project is on my to-do list again. I will do a lot more next time. Release: when it’s done.
Many thanks to the gifted Guy Whitmore, Daniel Bernstein and Mike Cody, they have masterly composed the music for the blood series. The owner of rights is probably Monolith/GT-Interactive/Atari and whatever follows. This is a cover, the original rights are retained. I abstain from all my rights as deemed necessary.
