【新闻】Buckethead为《毁灭战士》续作制作音乐

毁灭战士：SIGIL
SIGIL是1993年的经典射击游戏《毁灭战士》的一个叠加包，由原游戏的开发者之一JohnRomero制作。这个叠加包里包含九个单人游戏关卡，以及九个多人竞赛平台。这个叠加包是免费的，预计于2019年2月中旬发行。玩家必须要有1993年的《毁灭战士》游戏才能运行该叠加包。SIGIL是《毁灭战士》的精神续作，剧情接着原游戏的第四章后开始。
除了发行SIGIL之外，公司也会发行两套限量版套装。限量版里将有由传奇吉他手Buckethead创作的音乐，其中包括一首为SIGIL创作的主题音乐；还有由Christopher Lovell绘制的封面，他曾经为大量的金属专辑制作封面。（备注：下载的免费叠加包不包含Buckethead的音乐或Christopher的画作。）

SIGIL主创John Romero采访
（这里只节选了和桶相关的部分）
Q: Why did you work with Buckethead for the music on SIGIL?
为什么选择Buckethead给SIGIL制作游戏原声？
A: Buckethead has been a favorite metal guitarist of mine for a while, and I am so impressed with his output of great music. I feel like I really connect with his playing, and he liked my games as well, so it was a good match. The great MIDI-metal of the original game fit well, and Buckethead’s music really works perfectly with these new maps. Buckethead has a ton of fans, and thought it would be great to show his fanbase that his music fits in with the most metal game of all time.
Buckethead是我最喜欢的金属吉他手，我很钦佩他的才华。我觉得他的音乐引起了我的共鸣，而他也很喜欢我们的游戏，所以这是个很好的出发点。原作本身就带有一丝金属和迷笛音乐的氛围，而Buckethead的音乐也十分契合我们的新地图。这也是个绝好的机会，让Buckethead的粉丝群众知道他的音乐适合最金属风的游戏。
Q: Can you talk about working with him on this?
能说说和他的合作过程吗？
A: As some of you may know, Buckethead is enigmatic and elusive. Luckily, I was able to get in touch with him. He was excited about making a new song for this megawad, and having some of his amazing Pikes songs included as well. He was very easy to get along with and loves the idea of having his music playing in the background. The custom CD with his music is included in both the boxes.
不少人知道，Buckethead是个非常神秘而且低调的人。幸运地是我和他联系上了。他很高兴能为这个叠加包制作音乐，还推荐了不少他的Pikes系列的曲子备用。他非常随和，也很高兴他的音乐能被用到游戏里。原声CD会包含在限量版盒子里。
Q: How did you choose the music for the levels?
你是怎么为每个级别选音乐的呢？
A: It was a grueling decision process to choose which Pikes to use in SIGIL. There are literally hundreds of choices to consider. The decision process came down to song length and mood. One of the levels is very dark, so I chose a super creepy song that is really different from the rest. I also like the longer songs to have fast and slow parts that might sync with the action onscreen.
要从Pikes系列中为SIGIL选音乐真的太费心力了，真的有几百个选择。所以我们先从曲子的长度和氛围来考虑。其中一个级别非常可怖，所以我挑了一首令人汗毛倒竖的音乐，和其他所有曲子都不一样。我也喜欢比较长的曲子，有急促与和缓的部分，可以照应不同的场景。

这么说是用PIKES系列专辑里的曲子而不是自己创作了。。。
