This one goes up to 11


September 27, 2012

Earlier this week we revealed how the Aegis of Champions was crafted. This time around we'll show you how the score for the Dota 2 trailer was recorded.

Instead of going over what consonance and dissonance are or why a Conductor uses such a tiny stick to direct an entire orchestra, we decided it would be easier to explain via this video:


For those that deal in the dark arts of music, you can download the original score sheet and take it for a spin. Maybe upload a video of you playing it? We would very much like that.

Speaking of music, did you know that in music that progresses regularly in 4/4 time, the first beat of the bar is usually the best place for a chord change?

It's funny because a lot of people thought that 6 heroes were gonna come out, bringing it down to 11 heroes left.

Well, it's a reference to the fact that most amps have a max volume of 10. It's kind of an old-school joke but people used to would say something like "let's crank this **** up to 11", basically breaking the maximum volume.

I'm just schooling you all day today, wild. xD

This is very interesting, indeed.

Didn't knew so many people participated in the making of this song.
