Down Under from Create: Estrogen by erora
Created for the first Minecraft Music Pack Jam to be heard in the Basalt Deltas, I tried to find a middle-ground between Lena Raine's ambient nether tracks and the dangerous, hostile environment found in the biome.
In order to stand alongside Minecraft's existing nether tracks, I incorporated a leitmotif often heard in them, while also brining in one of Lena Raine's newer motifs which fit the vibe. The first motif, heard in "So Below", is a descending piano piece which carries you throughout the track. In the latter half of the track, I brought in melodies heard in "Deeper", a track that plays in another hostile environment in the game.
Though Minecraft's nether tracks tend to lean towards ambiance, the Basalt Deltas are a very dangerous biome to traverse, which has been represented in the track's aggressive bass-line. Yet still, there had been a large focus on ambiance through the track's droning sub-bass and massive instruments during its development.
