Subtle bass trombone/tuba playing...

Nothing like some delicate pedal Ds to help set the mood. Guess this is why we practice those Rochuts down two octaves:

Fun starts around 1:20 into the track.

Enjoy!

Nice lullaby to fall asleep to.

EDIT: I found it in the tags.

If you like this, definitely check out the God of War and God of War II soundtracks.

BTW - here's a guerilla-style video clip shot during the recording session...

So someone with knowledge of such things fill me in. When it says "pedal Ds" does it mean D just below the staff, or an octave lower? If it's the former, is the tuba playing the same note, or an octave down?

[Mitchell Spray]

Octave lower. Not sure about the tuba's part here.

[poomshanka]

If I had to guess, I'd say the bass trombone and tuba are in unison on a D an octave and a third below the staff (five ledger lines)...

I figured as much, after I listened to it a couple...four or five...about twenty more times for shere pleasure after I posted. Thanks. Where would one find more clips of recording sessions of that sort, particularly with more beefy low brass stuff?

[bububassboner]

Yes, I love it. This clip made my day so much better.
Thank you.

There are some soundtracks here and there with nice writing for the low blowers, but I don't think I've ever heard something that was quite this "sublime". The video showing the "behind the scenes aerobic workout from Hell" is also quite unique.

[The Jackson]

MA, this is from the Hellboy movie that came out a few years back.

The track is called "Light My Fire", and it can be found on the promo score from Hellboy (i.e. not the regular release of the soundtrack).
