Unreleased tracks
Several tracks have featured in Meet the Team videos, and elsewhere, but have yet to be officially released. These include the Magnum Force homage in Meet the Sniper and an alternate version of "Rocket Jump Waltz" which can be heard in a developer video showing the creation of Viaduct on the TF2 Official Blog.[1] An alternate version of "Playing With Danger" can be heard on the Valve publication page in the video "Illustrative Rendering in Team Fortress 2".[2] A short tune also appears in the Engineer update teaser, using similar drums from "Faster Than a Speeding Bullet".
Song notes
- The music is generally played in E blues (standard hex, E-G-A-A#-B-D). The trumpet harmonies frequent towards tritones, and both the Main Theme and "Playing with Danger" are essentially the same song, structured differently with alternate instrumentation. However, in "Playing with Danger", the piano line (which is the same as the wind and brass lines in this song) plays major seconds that resolve to one note, the Aug4 of the scale. With the running bass line being played beneath this, this makes the piano part exceedingly dissonant.
The tab for the oft-repeated 'dirge' (leading on guitar in "Main Theme", and on piano as a bass part in "Duty Calls") is roughly:
E--0-0-0-3-3-3-0-0-0-7-7-7-5-5-6-7-0-0-0-3-3-3-0-0-0-7-7-7-6-6-5-5 (and back to the beginning)
The intro sting is:
E-6-777-6-777-6-777-6777-7-6-5-3
The brass tends to be playing around the 7-6-5 notes a couple of octaves up. Orchestral brass tends to be slightly out of tune (half a semitone too high) to give it that jazzy sound, on guitar you can replicate the effect by playing really high frets, eg:
A-14-13....--14-13-17-16...
