The odds of another species having a harmonic structure even close to that of our western art music is are slim to none. Even within our own planet there are such varied approaches to what people considering pleasing to the ear. For example, there's an anecdote where a Chinese person goes to see his first symphonic orchestra. They tune up, play some standard Beethoven etc. and when the program was over the Chinese man was asked what his favourite piece was. He replied that he enjoyed them all but particularly the first one. He was referring to the orchestra tuning up.
So taking this dynamic view of music and multiplying it on a galactic scale I would hazard a guess and say that if we heard an alien civilisation's form of music we probably wouldn't even realise it was music, or at the very least would not find it enjoyable to listen to.
I know but I wasn't going to detune my synthesizer. Just think that this track is more of a cinematic piece for a Halo game then their actual musical styling.
That would be a very good song into a game but I don't think it fits Halo very well but that can just be me. It's really good but maybe you could try making a similar but with more "Halo sounds" to it. What I am saying is that those drums could have more bass as it has always been in Halo. I am not asking you to copy Marty but saying what would sound "Haloish" in my opinion. But that's still really good song.
