Jam of the Week - Halo pt. 1

Hey whoops, looks like I’m a huge piece of shit again! I’m not doing horror game music, haha, fuck that. Today we talking about HALO.

Now I’ve been on record at least twice in on this blog stating that I think Halo is cool, and gosh darnit I think the music really is a big reason for that. But you know what? I’m not going to cover the really well known stuff here. We know that the main Halo theme is great. This is a known thing. It does not bear repeating. Lets talk more obscure.

Now I really loved ODST, but for writing this article I took another listen to the soundtrack and dude, there’s a lot of good shit here. Marty O’Donnell decided to go for a darker film-noire aesthetic for this game and does it ever shine, my friends. The little Mé-Ré-Sol melodic thing at the beginning… I’m not sure if that’s a saxophone or an oboe actually, but damn if it doesn’t give me huge flashbacks to watching The Big O as a kid. 

Now before I go on to other things I’d like to point out a cool little thing at the beginning of this tune called “Bits and Pieces”:

Hear what the strings are doing at the beginning? Maybe it sounds familiar???

YO MARTY I’M DIGGIN ALL Y’ALL LEITMOTIFS IN THIS SERIES OF VIDEO GAMES, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MAN.

Yo you guys there’s just a lot of cool Halo music that I want to write about, but I can only post five videos at a time, so I’m going to split this into a couple different posts. SEE YOU LATER NERDS.
