New Ambience: Secret Facility
🕑 Added 2021-02-03 15:18:19 +0000 UTCGreetings Patrons,
I have a notepad on my desk that is covered in scrawl. It's got ideas, criticisms of in-progress work, time stamps for movies and television programs that I'm watching and...well, apparently a recipe for ramen.
One thing stood out this week which said: "Claustrophobic action brimming with tension. Escape from ???"
I've been watching the excellent TV Show called Counterpart and was struck by Jeff Russo's excellent score so, naturally, I tried to mimic the vibe as well as pilfering an ostinato or two!
The interesting thing about the series is that it's nominally modern/scifi but is really, at its heart, a Cold War era spy thriller. I highly recommend it if that sounds like your thing.
So I give you Secret Facility, a hybrid score (synth and traditional instrumentation) that burns and brims alternatively and will hopefully inspire some interesting stories of breathless pursuit or escape from ??? In my case, I decided that a secret facility was a good catch-all.
I've included a music only version of this in case you wanted to use it on it's own or over a different ambience, and an ambience-only version as well which is cavernous and 'clangy' and would work well under a lot of different styles of music - or alone.
I hope you enjoy this, I'm quite pleased with how it came out.
Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support.
Best,
Tim

This music track is just plain great for *any* tense situation. I love it.

Great ambience! And I loved Counterparts.
Thanks Tim, this is a great track. And it fits in amazingly well with my current campaign - I'm running Alien RPG, they landed in a jungle to find a ruined spacecraft (perfect with your track from 3 weeks ago), and tomorrow they will investigate a... secret facility. Incredible timing, thanks!

I agree -- well done! You've really captured the essence of things.

...or even a DramaSystem (Hill Folk) game scenario called Moscow Station by Kenneth Hite: "What’s the only place on Earth more paranoid and dysfunctional than Brezhnev’s Moscow? The CIA station spying on it. Adrift and alienated in a deadly police state, the personnel of Moscow Station work to discover the truth, and then to keep it hidden at all costs."

This is a great one. Could be used for Night's Black Agents...

I really like this one. Lots of versatility.
