Galactic Chase (Outro)
🕑 Added 2022-10-24 15:53:55 +0000 UTCContinuing onwards with Phobos I! Here's another one of my fav riffs from Galactic Chase - the outro section.
My intention here was to make a real cool tuff guy riff. The kind of riff that makes you rip your sleeves off and immediately tattoo a big skull and crossbones onto your shoulder.
The guitar is very repetitive to make the section catchy, but the bassline and chords underneath descend to add some movement so that it doesn't feel repetitive. In addition, the drums are playing some super fast hi-hats to keep the energy level super high. It was this section that made me think of a galactic chase as the theme for this song - a situation I regularly find myself in.

There's a simple repetitive pentatonic figure that repeats throughout:
----------------------
----------------------
----------------------
----------------------
-7-------5----7p5---
------0----0-------7-
It repeats 3 times followed by this 4 note tag on every 4th measure:
-----------------
-----------------
-----------------
-----------------
---------3---5--
-3--5-----------
Eventually the riff repeats without the 4 note tag on the end. You can keep rocking on out it for a while, until the final shots happen, which are:
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
-12---12----10---10---9---
-10---10----8----8----7---
----------------------------

Phobos my man you are killing it! Can't wait to get this one down!

"Music to outrun the space cops to" is definitely one of the sub-genres of your work! This sounds like one it'd be really fun to just zone out playing
