The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe is the eighth track included in the Halo: Original Soundtrack.
Overview
It is composed nearly entirely of percussion, only having a deep bass note towards the middle of the piece and some vocals at the end of the piece. The rest of the sound is produced by a combination of drums, auxiliary percussion and hand-clapping, which is usually unheard of in many tracks written for Halo.
Appearances
The track can be heard:
- In the level Halo, when John-117 finds the last group of Marines in the Forerunner structures.
- In the level The Silent Cartographer, when John-117 comes to the Cartographer building for the first time.
- In the level Assault on the Control Room, briefly when John first commandeers an M808B Scorpion, when he encounters the tunnel entrance guarded by two Type-26 Wraiths, and when he battles the Plasma Rifle-wielding Sangheili Zealot.
- In the level 343 Guilty Spark, when John and the Marines are leaving the Flood containment facility.
- In the level Keyes, when Captain Keyes orders John and Cortana to pull out.
- In the level The Maw, while the John blows up the engines of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn
Reorchestrated versions
It is reorchestrated into the following:
- Into the Breach of More Than His Share as a remix in the Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack.
- Unless You Mean to Shoot in the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
Trivia
- The name of the soundtrack is most likely in reference to the Halo Array, as its near activation can be interpreted as a "Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe".
- The name is also that of the first section of the level Two Betrayals.
- The drum beat upon which the track is based is one of the stock loops from the E-mu Proteus 2000 synthesizer.
