Tomb Raider 3 Boss Fight Sequence with (Unused) Music 

Lol he doesn't look scared he looks ridiculous

@@skypemee4040 Well back in 1998, this was clearly a good design for a boss, especially with what they had. And for people with a fear of spider (hi I exist), he would definitely be considered scary

@@hedteurofMinecraft lol the crawling mutants are even more scary

I don’t agree. Sounds too Egyptian. They made the right choice Nathan goat

There's nothing Egyptian about it @@TransitionedToAShark 🤷‍♂

Howdy 😃

Yes, it was reworked for TR4 but it was originally written for TR3

@@PeterConnellyMusic Yeah! Years ago i read something about that but never thought to see it on this new TR remaster! I wish to see new Tomb raider games with this "old classic" Lara Crof. Imagine that with new graphics and of course You and Nathan McCree both as music composers. As i said you both are so great!

❤

Thank you so much, I'm humbled

Thank you

I think they wont, but it would be great.

@@Unknown-dr8ek your right but it would be really nice

@@Development1092I really wish the remasters sell well and we got TRIV-VI...

Well, then I got good news for you! The song is actually in the game when you fight Willard.

@@ShinyQuasarDragon yeah im glad they added it

In a nutshell, by the time this was written, it was too late to add to the disc as the game was already off for QA at Sony and, unfortunately for me, that QA build PASSED so that was that... that version got released otherwise the next build would've included the music.

Thank you for your kind words

That would be great, I would 100% be up for that. Thank you

​@@PeterConnellyMusic Your song was added to the remaster so thats great!

It was all very last minute and not really considered. See above reply for more info

I’m not sure there are... I’ll have a dig about

And now ur music is in remaster what a full circle

Adds to the mystery why Jonell's climb up grunt is in Lara's Home, in the TR3 Ps1 beta 😏👻

I started Core just before TR3 was finished (I did a little Sound Design) and, when testing it, I noticed there was no end boss level music so wrote this in less than a day... unfortunately, it was too late to include it in the build so I kept it for TR4.

It was used in TLR (a new version of it, that is)

@Peter Connelly yeah the minutaur

Nope, the minotaur.

It's because this was made before TR4

This track was originally intended for TR3 but, as it was too late to be included in the build, it was re-done for TR4.

Basically, IIRC, Nathan left early / mid 1998, I started Sept 1998… wrote the piece in Oct / Nov 1998… was too late to shoehorn it into build. I had a JV at Core and also used my own JV (and AN1x). I got Core to buy me a Korg Trinity v3 too and, later, some other bits and bobs. The JV’s were staples back then, they still pass the rest of time… I have a JV-2080 right now. Love it :)

@@PeterConnellyMusic I've had some experience with the Korg Triton. I actually tried to remake the original TR theme on it to see how it'd sound but, I don't think the patches were working well. I got myself a hardware XV-5080 last month with the SRX Orchestral card (includes the SR-JV80 orchestral boards you'd have been using back then) and it just works so well with everything I try. Definitely has a very late 90s/early 00s vibe bur not in a bad way.

@@baroque4days Although the sounds are great on the Triton, I'm sure you'll agree they're quite different to the JV sounds. They both have their place. A JV (or XV) with SR-JV80-02 (or SRX Board) will pretty much do the trick. I personally think the sounds still stand tall. I dissed it for a few years but, coming back to it, nothing else really hits that spot... and, of course, you can now get these on the Roland Cloud which I absolutely SWEAR by. Right now, I have Orch1, Orch2, Dance and Drums and Bass in my 2080... I have my eyes on another 4 cards, just to fill it up. The Trinity was used, mostly, IIRC on The Puzzle. And I used the v3 (MOSS board) quite a bit for melodies and stuff (the flute on Egyptian Mood 2). I did used to pan the instruments into relevant "Symphonic" positions and have a reverb (Ensoniq DP/4+) strapped onto the end (mostly DRY) to emulate room acoustics.

@@PeterConnellyMusic I've definitely had luck with the Korg software version of the Triton Extreme for more pop sounds but yeah, I'm just having a great time writing out orchestral bits with the hardware XV-5080. I've been used to chasing the latest and greatest sample libraries but they'll never replace an actual orchestra. I've kinda just said to myself now that I might as well just embrace the slight synthetic quality about the sounds and just make beautiful music. The Roland orchestral boards are just perfect for it. Honestly, your work and Nathan's too was my first real musical awakening I guess. Been playing those games since I was 4! You did an amazing job! Definitely interesting to know you used a Trinity too a bit.

Hi 🙂 I worked on 3 (did VERY little, a few SFX here and there) but started properly working on TR4 then TR5 then TR6 (as both Composer / Sound Designer). Hope you're keeping well 🥰

@@PeterConnellyMusic OMG! So you had all the connections with the entire Core Design team that produced the classic games? Its an honnor to know you!!! A lot of hugs from Portugal!

A lot of them are still very good and close friends.@@ocanaldomehmeh1893

Only the Last Revelation but different to fit the Egyptian Minotaur settings.

🤷

@@PeterConnellyMusic contracts

🤷‍♂

It never made the build so not on the disc... only in my backups and on here.

I have no idea, lol... sorry. Got so much on right now I have very little time to pee :)

@@PeterConnellyMusic ok

...You might want to read the description.

It's the unused version for TR3 BEFORE the minotaur/Egyptian version for TR4
