"Volcarnage Island (Floor It!)" ~Original~ from Carpoon
12Here's some original music from Carpoon, a downloadable Windows game being developed by Tom Arnold from GameXplain! In Carpoon, you control a pick-up truck and harpoon escaping cars sentenced to recycling by car crusher, towing them to their doom! The game can be played in both single player and local multiplayer for competitive demolishing action. This theme features on the Volcarnage Island map, where two active volcanoes spew giant molten globs of lava that land on the asphalt, adding some dangerously hot obstacles to the environment. There are two versions of this music: one for normal gameplay, and one for when the timer has less than 30 seconds remaining.
When composing this piece, I wanted to capture the feeling of a dangerous volcanic island, keeping in mind the whimsy of the game's art style and the light-hearted fun found in the gameplay. The composition developed into something you might hear in a Donkey Kong Country game, but with some musical effects that mimic automobile sounds here and there. Towards the beginning, the slide of the bass guitar imitates a revving engine while the mute trumpet later is very akin to the honking of a car horn. Overall, it turned out to be a catchy, playful piece with a bit of an adventurous, tropical vibe. Have fun listening!
