What if FFVI’s Edgar and Sabin’s Figaro Castle/Coin Song in the style of Lord of the Rings, particularly The King of the Golden Hall?
Bit of a self-indulgent film orchestration exercise 😀 With a little of Terra’s Theme in there too. The instrument is a Hardanger fiddle (hardingfele), though I’m afraid I haven’t worried about writing particularly idiomatically for it.
A commission — imagine an opening theme/screen for an epic story of characters in a world broken apart by magic.
basically using my RPG soundset and the usual old techniques — melody instrument + harp + strings — with some more chords than I might use for my usual such doodlings! so it sounds like kind of a mix between an RPG theme and idk a John Williams tune / wind band piece / something more contemporary (/Romantic)……
today I have been learning about synths! ^_^ (Learning just a tiny bit of the technical stuff I should have learnt ages ago but just… made up as I went along… It’s useful!)
I thought I’d see if I could make some olde sounds like for a game using only logic’s retro synth in analog mode. listen for the “harp”, “strings”, “acoustic bass”, “clarinet” (a flute is really hard for some reason?) and of course “voice”!
or maybe the plain piano version (of the below)
Little thing based to start on bit of this Chopin waltz I was playing
And I’ve been playing Zelda later so something of a throwback to the romantic harmonies of that kind of game music too! And using my game style sounds 🙂
mix of the Alvaro + Julia themes, awww…
Theme for strange new land…
creepy cave music!!
