I wrote a short theme inspired by Ziggs - "Bombastic!"

Hey guys! I like to write music, and wrote this theme for Ziggs by request from one of Riot! Just wanted to share it with the community and get as much feedback as possible. Always looking to improve. Any composers have tips on how to get the string runs to sound less choppy?

"Bombastic!"

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy!

Thanks man! If you have any feedback, I'd be more than happy to use it to make some better stuff.

It's very cool! I enjoy it and I think it fits with Ziggs

Thanks! I was hoping it would. I wanted to add explosion sounds at parts to be able to really signify Ziggs, so I might still look into a revision at some point!

Nice work! I'm hearing some Cinebrass and East West samples in here. Do you have LASS? It's expensive, but has incredibly realistic samples. May help the choppy string runs.

As for other feedback, It'd be cool to hear you expand on this theme. It feels like a short teaser, which isn't a bad thing, but I want to hear the song develop into something that takes you on a journey. If you write another League inspired theme (would love to hear a track for a void champion), then feel free to post it up!

Hey, NoTAR! Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the brass are CB Core and my strings are Cinematic Strings. The EW libraries are mostly the woodwinds and percussion. I haven't looked into LASS before, but I'll start checking out their stuff. I still have my eyes on CineStrings, which will route me about the same price once I get KONTAKT. It definitely IS expensive :P

Teaser is probably the right term for this one! Both this, and the Orianna piece are ones I feel can be expanded over time. I'm going to be writing a Singed piece next, and I just invited some friends over to help me consume the... instruments I'll be using for it... I think a void champion will be a good challenge after this one, though! :)

Such skills. Much bombast. Very music. Wow.

The Orianna and Twitch ones are amazing, too. Woooowww. Do you have any plans on making additional ones? (If you haven't decided on who to do, may I suggest Shyvana or Vayne?)

Thank you for listening! I absolutely do plan on making more. I might be looking into Singed next with the updated splash art on the rise, but I certainly want to do Vayne and Shyv as well! :)

I guess you could say that song was ... The bomb. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Ziggs
