For the battle theme, I aimed for something that was very raw and tribal. I used samples of old skinned drums, vocal shouts and low brass, while avoiding the sounds of modern warfare. Drum patterns are split into different areas of the stereo field to make it sound like you are standing in the middle of the scene, surrounded. I don’t usually have the opportunity to be bombastic with my writing, so working on this theme was a lot of fun!
