same like holy crap man so epic unfortunately though i was very very limited in terms of software hardware are you excited to hear the full music and see the full interview i am take it away ben hello everyone i am benjamin music composer and coordinator at freedom i'd like to welcome you to another episode of behind the music and today we're going to be featuring a composer who joined us recently and submitted a track called seraphim machine first we're going to go ahead and play the track afterwards we'll have an interview with the composer i hope all of you enjoy and without further ado i present to you seraphim machine so that was seraphim machine by the author composer string storm and we're going to have a quick interview with him we're going to ask him a few questions for your benefit freedom family i think you might be interested to hear a little bit about him so first off string storm what is your background as a composer i started dabbling on music back in 2006 i was mostly fascinated with big orchestras with big matching choirs really heavy epic songs trailer music and all that stuff even though i lacked musical knowledge like i'm not really well versed in terms of music theory chord progressions and all that i'm basically musically illiterate i was able to get a few work for some games back then even when i was just starting out though my songs were not really that special just a simple chord progression a simple melody to accompany it rendered with some free sound fonts and vsts of the time come 2007 though i stopped because i went into seminary which lasted for three three and a half years until i got booted out because of having seizures soon as i got out i immediately enrolled myself in another seminary which lasted for a year a year and a half and i was subsequently booted out for the same reason i then just focused on my studies until i graduated from college during those times i resumed doing music got some jobs out of it still haven't studied music until i am where i am right now what inspired you to become a composer it was because of a symphonic metal band called rhapsody of fire formally called rhapsody back then the way they integrated lord of the rings like story into their albums pretty much gave me this nagging desire to do the same i was like holy crap this is awesome i could do this yeah let's make our own album easier said than done though there's something about a grand orchestra with a massive choir singing in latin accompanied by a loud heavy metal band singing about dragons wizards magic epic battles that really stuck to me it was just my mind was all and then they got christopher lee working with them sure it was all awesome and i badly wanted to do the same like holy crap man so epic unfortunately though i was very very limited in terms of software hardware and experience to be able to actually do that so i wasn't able to do that until five years ago or something who was your compositional hero it'd be probably be the guys from rhapsody of fire i mean just listen to one of their songs and you'll see why i adore them so much for example one of my many favorites from them is the wizards last rhyme reason being is that they incorporated the vorjax i'm probably butchering his name new world symphony and added their own twist to it a massive choir power metal and lyrics that'll spark up the imagination of fantastical settings just look it up right now it's it's just amazing and i highly highly highly recommend them if you're looking for a new band to listen to with that in mind can you tell us what inspired your piece of music the seraphim machine song we just listened to it may sound lackluster but i basically just looked up pictures wallpapers about something related to the title of the song so we have seraphim machine seraphim means angel and machine means well machine so with those two in mind we basically can think of a cyborg angel sort of thing and that's basically what i looked up wallpapers of robot looking angels that's it there's no complex thought process no examination of inspirations i literally just looked up some wallpapers and i was like ooh that's awesome and an urge to make a song out of that just clicked inside me next thing i knew i had made a song about it with that in mind the process of composition was simple angels are grand majestic beings what better way to showcase angels as grand majestic beings of untold unrivaled power than really really really heavy percussions and then being cyborgs and all i just went with techno sounding synthesizers i like to keep my song simple like that then i just threw in a really really subtle string section in there just to feel any gaps the song might have that that's pretty much it what other types of projects have you worked on i would gladly put out a long list but i'd have to spend an equally long long time trying to differentiate which ones are clear of nda or are still under nda suffice to say film video game audio dramas podcasts and other formats of media i've probably done i'm building up a website mainly for my songs and i'll list all of the stuff i've worked on there but for now just to be safe rather than be sorry i'll have to keep my lips sealed well that was a great interview and i thank you for coming today uh but i'd like to ask you one more thing what else would you like to tell us other than music production i also specialize in voice acting i mainly do trailer voices and commercials often antagonists because of my deep voice tonight i
