Information:

This summer finally comes out on Steam extended edition Rise of Nations, one of the most exciting RTS with a great soundtrack by Duane Decker. Rise of Nations - the peak of creativity Duane Decker. Everything he did later was in shadow splendor of this work.

Interesting and uninteresting facts.
- Music Rise of Nations - this is the first game soundtrack, which was released in 5.1. The first print sold a pretty fast.
- At the official publication of the early tracks were included Africa 1-8, Quartet. Because of the change in musical direction of the game, these tracks were not included in the final version. Originally it was planned just to license a variety of ethnic music. But Duane Decker, who was leading the sound, was able to convince developers need to write the original soundtrack as well as a licensed music to distract from the gameplay and the general line of historical battles. Moreover, he was given a budget sufficient to hire musicians Sydney Northwest Sinfonia.
- Battle at Witch Creek - simple composition for piano. Has become one of the most popular tracks in the game. Name - a tribute to a group of Witch Creek from San Diego, to which he was Decker.
- High Strung even had brazenly ... borrow. ►http: //youtu.be/2DEcSxuK4U4
- Also important is the track Across the Bog. He eventually became the basis for the thirteen tracks in Rise of Legends. (In geymripe these tracks have the prefix before the name of ATB.)
- Duane never tires of repeating that the first edition sold a very fast and is now very rare. Only 1000 copies. In any case, Amazon can easily find and request a new copy. checked.
- Several years ago, Decker has created an eight-game music arrangement for orchestra. But because of the circumstances, it was never performed live. Sanachala it turned out that was not the right set of tools. Second attempt foiled storm (concert was to be held on the street).
- Unfortunately, the subsequent career Duane Decker game composer did not work. Rise of Legends was noticeably weaker. Later came the soundtrack to Defense Grid. The interesting thing, but of little use for the consumer. In any case, this Decker finalizing Defense Grid 2. In any case, do not be lazy to go to the composer on youtube channel and leave a couple of comments. You do not hard, and the old man pleasantly. :]
- Naturally, the soundtrack set borrowing. For example, High Strung is based on the Little Fugue by JS Bach.
