Trance or car commercial music?

I set out to write a trance song but this might be sounding more like a sports car commercial.

music when you are choosing your car in those nascar video games.

+1

I could see the very beginning being like the opening screen, then the rest of it just loops while you're on the menu. If it were in a game though, it would never get to the part with the 4/4 kick, there's usually sparse percussion in video game music. If that's your aim, it works, but if trance was your goal try again.

Yeah. Maybe I should use just one bar of this chunkity chunk arpeggiated keyboard riff thing and work into something different.

But if EA Sports wanted to pay me I wouldn't complain!

That was exactly the same thing I imagined. As soon as I pressed play the image of Grand Turismo popped into my head.

Oh well. Gotta write 5 songs to get 1 good one. Maybe I can cannibalize the arpeggiated part for something that sounds "trance".

Lol @ M4b, Floyd & Seandroid. It was Cruisin' USA when I was a kid in the 90's. My parents neeever let me play, so I would always hope someone left a quarter in the game. Ironic since they bought me a real car later (:

Sounds good! But haha, as everyone else have said above, it really sounds like music for a racing game! For sure. Would be perfect for the meny etc.

I just listened to your track and have to concur with everyone else - it totally sounds like it belongs in a racing game! That said - it sounds bad ass

I laughed when I read your comment about writing 5 songs to get one good one - I'm in the same boat!
