MOC Theme Music

I haven’t really given much thought to most of my MOCS, musically speaking, but I have specific themes picked out for all of my Slizer Revamp MOCs, based on their character and/or specific scenes involving them. Unfortunately, the best example of this is with a song that isn’t even on youtube. :confused:

Might as well throw out any themes I’ve decided for my MOCs.

-Toa Hunter

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3heEDwlXB_8/VOVHwAS_EEI/AAAAAAAABDM/KUi6vqJQqnE/w958-h637-no/DSC_0220.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-SQBvGTGgcPE/VOVJejtlH3I/AAAAAAAABEc/dltG83niEzI/w958-h637-no/DSC_0236.JPG

Explanation: He’s a hunter. This theme pretty much symbolizes the sense of dread Toa feel upon his approach.


-Cordak

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GfTmeUhbfoY/VRb-855bqpI/AAAAAAAABag/CrPG2GoJNPU/w958-h637-no/DSC_0080.JPG

Explanation: Cordak is a mixture of elegance, tragedy, and savagery. This piece covers mainly the last two, but it’s a fitting track nonetheless.


-Scorax

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-sCK3SB1yREQ/VNcVzqTDMLI/AAAAAAAAA74/OPFYbl1AjCw/w958-h637-no/DSC_0176.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7QxA3KP9YP0/VNcWKiPbzkI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/qMbxALDfpNw/w958-h637-no/DSC_0182.JPG

Explanation: Scorax is a very rhythmic and logical individual. He’ll quietly carry out his task, and leave the bombastic results to themselves, much like the music-in-question’s flow.


-Taalos

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OzTlTUmOu7A/VMSOr9L1t4I/AAAAAAAAA0c/iut8VpF0Wek/w958-h637-no/DSC_0078.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4fSU1G1LKMA/VMSPwYEaF-I/AAAAAAAAA1M/mAUtAjrSRa4/w958-h637-no/DSC_0084.JPG

Explanation: Though Taalos still has a bit more of a conscience than the other Shadow Hunters, he’s still a ruthless and skilled warrior who often attempts to hid emotional doubts, something the harsh tones of this piece reflect.


-Terrotron

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NDh74eWCKGw/VMSQSenayGI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/0My629e-PDk/w958-h637-no/DSC_0088.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uf_XCJdFyBg/VMSQ64uxl6I/AAAAAAAAA2A/07z5qa40VEI/w958-h637-no/DSC_0092.JPG

Explanation: Terrotron is both determined and highly unfeeling for the petty denizens of the Bionicle universe. I thought this theme had a very “walking-forward-while-fighting” kind of vibe, which I thought fit.


-Venak

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vg2kgamlBd8/VLmtOpZXXSI/AAAAAAAAApM/6CSuz_iThPo/w958-h637-no/DSC_0043.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rpfYPp7J62k/VLmuH7MCYJI/AAAAAAAAAps/4B3ge1-NTsk/w958-h637-no/DSC_0050.JPG

Explanation: Venak is the most vile and distorted of the Shadow Hunters, with a very dark sense of humor and fun. I think this theme speaks for itself.


-Boron

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1NpFkgYUnKA/VNcW1GE15TI/AAAAAAAAA9I/sNHdJQN9i5g/w958-h637-no/DSC_0188.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bO9IZONprTs/VNcXUohK6DI/AAAAAAAAA9o/L1TBb9XQ9m8/w958-h637-no/DSC_0193.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TuQSh1ciUZE/VNcXiRqDaDI/AAAAAAAAA94/-22F_hSdMFM/w958-h637-no/DSC_0194.JPG

Explanation: Boron’s a psycho. Not quite on the same sadistic level as Venak, and still able to be reigned by strict authority fro Teridax and Cordak, but he’s not to keep a level head, and has a mind whose thoughts are in constant disarray, hence a theme that evokes chaos and paranoia, as well as the conflict between him and his brother, Blastex.


-Blastex

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UQmmfEet2t0/VNcX4LJRTGI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/DiKiG9h_HiE/w958-h637-no/DSC_0197.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4L6ujW0pc-E/VNcYNF2KbnI/AAAAAAAAA-g/2OsDBoewZns/w958-h637-no/DSC_0200.JPG

Explanation: Despite the terrible things Boron has done, Blastex has every intention to bring back to the light. Given that, and the determined sense of duty to stop his brother, a highly heroic theme was in order.


-Arcus

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RiUJCxlzLfU/VPv0GNppEcI/AAAAAAAABOo/o9kcK1wcI5E/w958-h637-no/DSC_0362.JPG

Explanation: Arcus may be a polite and thoughtful politician, but in battle, his bombastic nature is unmatched. He also really, really, likes his gun. Since this theme had a very rushed, adrenaline-laden kind of feeling, I thought it was perfect.


-Dux

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ETQj_EAs7vI/VPv5-L5txUI/AAAAAAAABRE/S1vvIC9siAk/w958-h637-no/DSC_0389.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-YIV1f6QAPzg/VPwBt6xVhyI/AAAAAAAABTA/-Hicfsn6IxY/w958-h637-no/DSC_0403.JPG

Explanation: Dux has been through a lot, being used as a puppet to hunt down the free Toa of New Atero to fulfill the insane totalitarian dreams of a turaga. Despite this, he’s battle-hardened, and a true embodiment of justice even in the face of his own uncertainty. A theme both triumphant and melancholic like this was fitting.


-Ciad

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1gClT5OqJ_w/VPItDM6ayDI/AAAAAAAABLI/svjajnpwe2s/w958-h637-no/DSC_0232.JPG

Explanation: Following his partial Hordika transformation, Ciad has been something of a loner, and his guilt after abandoning the slumbering Metru Nui Matoran hasn’t helped things. I this piece did well to both reflect that guilt as well as his desire for redemption.


-Grinus

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-lvLpno13utw/VPIrH7-hutI/AAAAAAAABKA/l-Eh58aD9eY/w958-h637-no/DSC_0221.JPG

Explanation: I wanted something that evoked determination and emotion, while also having a sort of tribal/jungle vibe. Then I remembered one of my favortie video game forests.


-Solus and Lentas

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aJ8ygc9J2pE/VOj-hN-HztI/AAAAAAAABJQ/qXzwNQE80WY/w958-h637-no/DSC_0238.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-C3SjLFuPdcg/VOj9idIITCI/AAAAAAAABII/OOv4ITFbThE/w958-h637-no/DSC_0229.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ok7YylZGlO4/VOj8kmVH6AI/AAAAAAAABHI/t-u_06QSLl0/w958-h637-no/DSC_0220.JPG

Explanation: I always thought these two went better together as a pair. As such, I thought of a good theme for the two back to back kicking some posterior plating.


Overall Shadow Hunters Theme


Overall Toa Nauhea Theme (yes, I finally gave the Toa team a name)

If all else fails you could always use Darude Sandstorm :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm…

Jakami

Jack Johnson’s “Upside Down” or "Me against the World. Unfortunately, I can’t find links to either that aren’t Curious George or Sonic music videoes. Could someone else please try to find them?

Are you sure that’s the artist’s name? Can’t fine anything about it

EDIT: Nevermind

Shoot, that’s the wrong one. Can you try “Broken”, by the same artist?

blegh

Ok, I know it was in a movie I watched, but I don’t want to say the movie…

Okay. Are you ready for this? I heard the song in…

The Curious George movie. I saw it with my sister.

pretty sure the upside down one had a Curious George movie music video that’s official

unless you don’t want to believe

The only real theme I have for a MoC is Turaga Kikag (no photo or link 'cause mobile version), which is Don’t Speak Her Name/Don’t You Dare Mock My Sister’s Words.

I chose this due to the fact that Kikag is still sad over the deaths of his Toa-brethren, who all froze to death (The reason Kikag survived was becase he was a Ko-Toa). In my opinion, this song not only captures the grief he has for his friends, but the fact that he is a “Fallen Warrior” of sorts.

I’m still deciding on what theme I should have for K4, but for now, it’s Cryoshell’s Falling.

Ok, scratch that. Jakami’s theme music is “Murky” by Cryoshell.

New MOC, new theme.

Not gonna share images just yet, since he’s an entry for StudentScissors’ little contest.

All I can say is that his name’s Militum, built to serve the Matoran as a soulless protector.

Here’s his theme.

What would it be? If your Self-MOC had a soundtrack? A single piece of music or a whole group of songs? Drop it down below and see what others say… whether it’s serious or funny or whatever you want, let’s hear it.

Personally I think I struck gold when I found this… if you can listen to the whole thing it’s real good:

For some reason I feel like this goes well with my Self-MOC.

I was actually thinking about this recently while building Monarth’s latest version. I’d have to go with two themes based on the situation he’s depicted in.

Character reference: Monarth

When he’s doing his duties as a dream warden, wandering in the night and going dream to dream, I think this represents some of his mysticality well. But it also depicts the peace he brings to dreams, before vanishing to find the next dream:

When things get battle-oriented, well… The heat is on. Maybe he’s the boss or maybe he’s just entering battle. Either way:

If you didn’t guess already, I love the Legend of Spyro games.
