I Always Win
Tony Albert sent along a kind note with a description of some new music of his:
I've been a lurker of the forums and news pages for a couple of years now, and although my involvement in the community is non-existent, my admiration for the creativity surrounding Halo is immense. That said, I wanted throw my own creativity into the fray by submitting a song to you that I have written in homage to Halo. I believe it has universal appeal, but hopefully readers of Eric Nylund's 'Halo: The Fall of Reach' will be hard pressed to identify it's speaker as anyone but the master chief, John 117 himself.
The song, a 6.4 mb mp3, can be grabbed from our server. Solid southern rock, with a nice Halo-based theme after the second chorus. Give it a listen! (Louis Wu 17:40:59 UTC)

Now that's a RANGE.
Wow - two WILDLY different audio submissions today - actually, one came in this weekend, but I didn't get to it (sorry, guys!).
- Welcome to Halo was created by Kil and Lox - it's a Halo-themed version of the Welcome to Atlanta remix from Jermaine Dupri. Guns and rap - they just seem to go together, don't they? 3:21, 4.6 mb mp3
- Death of Cortana Sample is another Mothergoat creation - don't worry, there aren't any spoilers here (at least none that Mothergoat knows of); he came up with the idea after reading First Strike. A moving piano piece - I'm looking forward to the full version. 1:36 long, 1.4 mb mp3
Grab them both - or pick the style that appeals to you. (Louis Wu 13:33:19 UTC)

Halo Theme: Mjolnir Mix
Wow... very nice. If you visit nilerogers.com, you can listen to a 1:45 long snippet of the Halo Theme Mjolnir Mix - composed by Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, with guitars by Steve Vai. It rocks. Thanks, palatine. (The Flash popup that goes with the song is pretty nice, but if you're having trouble with it, the music is here.) (Louis Wu 00:18:17 UTC)

I looked for a unifying theme... none, sorry
Gah - two OTHER comic-related offerings today from around the web; Dork Tower mentions Halo (thanks, Brad) and there's a new episode of Marines at Sector 7 (thanks, Wolfy). Go read! (Louis Wu 12:48:13 UTC)

Incubus - in the news
We got a couple of notes about Incubus yesterday - they're another of the mainstream bands whose work is being used in Halo 2, you might remember. The first comes from uberblue, whose friend saw them in concert in Charlotte, NC a few days ago - apparently, they played the first 20 seconds or so of the Halo theme, and then their DJ somehow morphed that into Pistola, one of their more popular songs. (You can listen to various small clips of it on the Media page of their web site. What's even odder, however, is this news report, which suggests that the lead singer might not have even MADE it to that concert - he was arrested in New York, on the way down, for having a switchblade in his carryon bag. (Not Halo-related at all, except that had he not cleared it all up in time, uberblue's friend wouldn't have heard anything.) Don't worry - we're not going to start covering bands with ties to Halo 2, I just thought it was interesting that we got two separate Incubus-related tidbits on the same day (heck, they're even related to the same EVENT), and one showed that they've clearly got Halo 2 on their minds. (Thanks, John.) (Louis Wu 12:35:39 UTC)

Halo 2 Slurpee cups
Sanjuro Tsubaki, who works at 7-Eleven, was kind enough to grab all three Halo2-themed Slurpee cups (we mentioned them Monday) and snap a couple of pictures. Side one (144k)... and side two (143k). To those offended by the cheapening of the Master Chief - live with it, this is popularity in the US. (Louis Wu 10:53:21 UTC)

Thursday's Themes
Seven new pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section - apologies for the outages earlier this morning. (Looks like a router got swapped out without the datacenter being warned... SOMEONE got chewed out pretty good.) Go read some Halo fiction and relax. (Louis Wu 17:21:23 UTC)

Halo Theme, Arranged for Piano
Jarrad Whitaker, aka Akdor 1154, has arranged the Halo main theme for piano, with the approval of its composer, Marty O'Donnell. There are two versions, both in PDF format; the original theme, from the main menu (405K), and the extended version that plays during the warthog run in the Maw (Truth And Reconciliation Suite - 563K). Enjoy! (Louis Wu 13:10:54 UTC)

Halo Theme - Tabbed Again
CreepHunter pointed out yet ANOTHER guitar tab of the Halo theme he found at Video Game Jam - he liked this one better than the last one we mentioned. Again - I can't read these, so I'm not passing any judgement at all... but they're out there, if you want to use them. (Louis Wu 10:28:03 UTC)

Halo Theme Tab
Blitzwolf found a guitar tab for the Halo theme at MXTabs.net. I couldn't tell you what it sounds like - I don't read this stuff - but if you do, go check it out. (Louis Wu 13:32:58 UTC)

The Monks, The Monks
He'th Baskin really enjoyed the monk chanting in the Halo theme, but was frustrated that it was never by itself. So he mixed his own, 3:32, 4.8 mb mp3 version.
I have listened to as much Halo related music I could get my hands on but was always disappointed to find the monk chanting to be limited and always mixed with other instruments. So I set it upon myself to try and mix and match chant music from different Bungie tracks into a track of its own.
You can listen to it, too - we're hosting it for him. Update: we've replaced the original with a new version that has less noise - he'th spent a couple of hours cleaning it up after release. (Louis Wu 13:39:33 UTC)

Halo Skin
aiMutation is a Windows program for modifying the appearance of the AOL Instant Messenger. Recently, a new skin was released with a Halo theme. Thanks to Baldev Patel for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:38:43 UTC)

Do NOT get between these guys.
Tina Leyk tried her hand at a Halo 2-themed pic; she started with information in recent magazine articles (the idea that Elites and Brutes aren't the best of friends) and ended up with what I consider to be one of her most stunning pieces to date. Check out 'Elite vs Brute' on her Fan Art page. (Louis Wu 11:10:26 UTC)

Halo 2 Wallpaper theme - you decide
Interesting - zoe, the artist responsible for several of Bungie's coolest wallpaper creations, is asking for fan input on her next creation. She's got a quickpoll up in her Seventh Column chapter, asking 'Which paint job would you most like to see in a 3d render of Master Chief for a desktop wallpaper?' (Choices range from jet black to zebra stripe, with a whole lot in between.) If you want to contribute, go vote! (You don't need to be a chapter member to vote, though nothing's stopping you from joining.) Word about this came from MakaVeli4Life1, a moderator over at the Bungie.net forums.

Powertabbed RvB Theme
Skeletor points out a resource for guitarists:
Powertab Editor is a program that makes arranging songs for the guitar easier. Someone made a tab of the RvB theme recently and uploaded it to the Powertab Archive.
If you use Powertab Editor, go grab this! (And then upload your OWN tabbed version of other Halo songs... (Louis Wu 09:40:25 UTC)

Halo - The Master Chief
Shrike has sent word about a new Halo track he's created; it's a remix from different parts of the main theme. It's made for listening to while playing Halo - and it works nicely for that! 7:18 long, 8.3 mb big... give it a listen! Update: if you'd like to use this file, please contact Shrike directly.

I gotta try that Feckless Cry idea
Red vs Blue has released a bonus vid found on last month's Computer Gaming World cover CD to sponsors; check the Season 2 Sponsors forum for a link. (Non-sponsors; you might still find that CGW on store shelves.) It shows off some of the FAILED concepts they didn't go with, before deciding on the RvB comedy theme. Personally, I think Soldiers with Passion could have gone somewhere... if only they had more women. Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:31:38 UTC)

Miniature Halo Returns
After a rather long delay, another installment of Miniature Halo has been posted. SESpider has sent page 19 for the collection. He also wanted to point out a Miniature Halo DesktopX theme - you can find it linked to his name at WinCustomize. (Well, you SHOULD be able to find it soon; it's not up yet.) Check 'em out!

Fall From Above (You Can't Stop)
There's a new remix of the Halo title theme posted over at Overclocked Remix; it's 4:06 long, and 5.6 mb large. Worth a listen! Thanks to ARUCKSHA for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:28:24 UTC)

Project Halo changes focus
Wow, some big (and somewhat sad) news from the Project Halo team - easiest to simply let them speak:
"It is with deep regret that I inform you that Project Halo is being discontinued, and that the project will be moving to a new name.
Due to lack of response from Bungie, the project has been halted and we will be redoing some things. We will be dropping the Halo theme for the game and inserting a new story. The project will continue in a way, but with a new name and story line. We can't continue without licensing from Bungie, and it doesn't look like that will be coming. So, we've decided to just make an all new game.
Thanks to all the Halo fans that supported us, and especially to HBO and the Junkyard for all their support. I hope you guys all follow our game, and thanks again for supporting us!"
I have no doubt it'll continute to be a great project... but I'm saddened by the fact that it will no longer be Halo-related. (Louis Wu 10:03:33 UTC)

Soothing the Savage Breast
It's music day as far as Halo is concerned! Rampancy Net posted a 12-page transcription of Enough Dead Heroes (from the Halo Soundtrack), put together by Spencer "Poop Scoop" Anunsen, and we received a guitar tab of the Opening theme of Halo, created by XvShadow. Grab 'em both, and get to playing! (Louis Wu 12:55:41 UTC)
