WIP: Interpretation of historical music

Hi, this is for the Canadians!

Here's a mid-production early listen to my go at some music for E:TW.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

UPDATE: http://dustybrush.net/etw/wolfe2.mp3

Still lots to do, a bit of house cleaning is in order.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Software: Logic Pro 8 + Native Instruments' Massive

Bear with me, this is very, very raw so far and my first attempt at any such thing. There's an awful long way from hip-hop and RnB to here

The song is called The Death of General Wolfe

I loved it, but that sound in the background is annoying and it makes it feel like runescape. Keep it up man!

It works for me

Are you going to add/arrange more instruments, or keep it minimal and in situ battlefield-ish?

Keep it up!

Yeah, the drums are a bit too early, too medieval. Working on that. Thanks.

Thanks, this is going your way in a Bolero kinda way going orchestral on this.

I also have a few sea faring songs in the tube. My idea is to have different themes. A few pieces will be in-situ marches, some will be larger and epic. But all will be songs from the 18th century or older. I am checking out Chevy Chase, for instance.

No not the drums, that sound starting 1.02. But I kinda like it now

**HarryPalms** · April 26, 2009, 05:25 PM

haha, cool. It has to be tweaked a bit, I am not too happy with the plucks. I have Baruch de Hobbes working with me know. He is a bona fide genious. Watch this spot the coming weeks!

I'd love some feed-back on the update, please

I like it. The mix seems a little off though (on my computer speakers anyway), bring the drums forward a little more (at least early on, they sound more pronounced later).

**HarryPalms** · May 04, 2009, 03:24 PM

True, the mix needs a lot of work. I have only a few buses. I need to separate some + shift some instruments. Too many English horns. But all in all I am quite happy about it. Drums need slight makeover.
