Did you know that ITLD has music written after it? Back when the project was still a video game idea, my good friend and collaborator Headache Central composed a "boss battle" theme for the Wolf Therian.

Despite being buried under obscurity after the project was switched to a webcomic, our talented friend and fellow youtuber Dado Simic wanted to do a cover of this amazing piece. We all thought the music was too good not to be shown to the world, thus this little collab between us three was born.

Think of it as a cross promotional piece of sorts: Me on the project idea and artwork, Matthew on the original music, and Dado on the cover video.

Run With The Wolf (collab video Headache Central, Respeanut)

My info: This is my very first collaboration video. As a kid, I was fascinated by video game music. When I was given the opportunity to work on the music that was made for this purpose, I was very excited to be part of this project. Music is composed by Headache Central. I worked here as co-composer, co-arranger, performer (guitar,bass, synth parts) and producer (mix and mastering). We've also made two versions of the same composition, each in their own particular style. A modern version which combines heavy metal with a symphonic orchestra, and another one in more of a retro style. On that version I only participated in production. You can listen to the alternative version below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXYgYsB3T6E Illustrations provided by Respeanut. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Headache Central`s info: From the earliest days of my childhood, I was fascinated by the simple chip tunes of video games I played around the time, and how effective a composer could be even with very few, sometimes very crude means. From 2003 on I began writing my own game compositions in MIDI format, eventually moving on to more advanced tools for music creation. When a little project named “In The Lion's Den” offered me an opportunity to work on something that could test my abilities, this was the first major song I was able to crank out. It was a personal test to see if I could push through the anxiety and stress I felt at the time, and even now I feel this piece is quite significant to me on many levels. Unfortunately, my work seemed to have lost significance when Project ITLD went from a game to a webcomic. Still, I think this piece is worth hearing even outside of its original context. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSArUFL49jarsgahGQtz8_w https://soundcloud.com/headachecentral ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Respeanut`s intro: "In The Lion's Den is an ongoing webcomic series which originally started out as a video game concept. The story revolves around cute critters and their adversarial relationships with the mysterious, not-so-cute beasts. The first instalment is called "The Wolf's Veil" which features a wolf antagonist. The musical piece featured in this video was created as a "boss theme" back when the project was still a video game idea and in its early development stages. https://www.inthelionsdencomic.com/ https://tapas.io/series/In-The-Lions-Den
