A Fistful of Arrows gets a soundtrack
Sean Mortensen has been in our news before - he composes lots of music. Recently, he created an entire soundtrack... for A Fistful of Arrows, the graphic novel put together by Leviathan. Levi sent us the tracks, along with Sean's commentary on each, and a bonus piece of cover art for the album itself (he figured if Sean could put up a soundtrack, the least he could do is cover it). You'll find all of this content on a page we put together to showcase this very nice collection of work. Go listen! (Louis Wu 19:42:53 UTC)

Last week, Sean Mortensen released a MIDI file of a new piece he'd created to honor Ghosts of Onyx. Today, we received an MP3 version of the work - it sounds a bit different, according to Sean. 5.3 mb - give it a listen! (Louis Wu 14:58:50 UTC)

The Lone Spartan
Sean Mortensen has submitted 'The Lone Spartan', a 2:13 long, 2.4 mb MP3 of a piece of music he wrote to commemorate a specific moment in the novel 'Ghosts of Onyx'. It takes place in Chapter 8, and involves three young Spartan-IIIs. If you haven't read the book, it's a last stand by very young but very dedicated humans against an overwhelming Covenant force.

Kurt's Theme
Sean Mortensen sent along a piece of music (MIDI format, 139 kb) he wrote as a score for a section of Nylund's 'Ghosts of Onyx', because he was inspired by the book. He knows it sounds a little like the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End score, but says that is coincidence more than anything. If you're interested in an MP3, you can email him with a request, and he'll post it.

Friday's Fan Fiction
Fourteen new pieces for you in this week's Fan Fiction update (back to multiples of 7...), including a piece that has its own soundtrack. There was some confusion about the originally-submitted theme for Vanguard - turns out it was very, very close to another piece of music - so Sean Mortensen submitted a new version (midi format, 38k). Go listen to it while reading the story! (Louis Wu 13:26:01 UTC)

Two new midi creations
Sean Mortensen sent us two new midi themes - both are rather martial. One, Ashes, is based on the Halo main theme (and Sean gives props to Marty once again). The second, Vanguard, was written entirely by Sean, and was designed to be the theme for his upcoming fan fiction, 'Halo: Operation Vanguard' (this will be posted on Friday, in the standard Fanfic update). Since they're midi files, they're tiny - Ashes is 10k, Vanguard is 31k. Go listen! (Louis Wu 12:35:57 UTC)
