I really like the section in the 9 block it just sounds so sharply ominous to me I love ita

SpecterTheGreat · April 8, 2021 19:49:34

I see what you mean xD It kinda spices up the piece. Maybe I could say it gives a bit of dynamism?

Oh okay, good inspiration source xD I know you're very fan of Undertale, so owo

Basket Cat · April 8, 2021 19:54:18

I am a very fan of undertale owo

I had the prologue from Wind Waker stuck in my head and I had to get it out before I could do anything otherwise it would have sounded too much like it lol

SpecterTheGreat · April 8, 2021 19:55:32

Lol mood though
I guess maybe that's why I can't compose xD I'm afraid of making something that will sound a lot like a piece that already exists. And also I don't know how to compose lol I just play.

Basket Cat · April 8, 2021 20:00:19

I think I got the basis of it done. I want to add some more chords bc chords tho

Basket Cat · April 8, 2021 20:18:32

Ah yes, I think it might actually be complete

For now

Basket Cat · April 10, 2021 16:11:27

The string samples are eh but other than that I love it

Basket Cat · April 10, 2021 16:11:40

Wait what if I just made it all woodwinds--

Basket Cat · April 10, 2021 16:14:26

AH YES

NOW IT'S EVEN BETTER

SpecterTheGreat · April 10, 2021 18:43:45

For your original song, can I say I really love block 15 :000
I mean all of it is nice (I think the second note in the first block sounds a bit too long tho but that's minor) but :0

Is that... is that the Outset Island theme or am I very wrong :0
Lol I didn't notice it looped when I was listening to it xD nice!
Hmm maybe I'm going deaf but I can't hear much difference between both versions of the song... Time to give them a relisten while paying more attention!

Basket Cat · April 11, 2021 11:51:57

Block 15 I had to use my big brain to figure out how to do a realistic decresendo. Then I remembered that unlike with a violin when you can get quieter in the same bow stroke, with a plucked string instrument like harp you just play the next note quieter and quieter and that made it much easier xD

I feel proud of the leitmotifs that I used in it. 15-21 is that lullaby I posted on my homethread (once I send you lyrics it'll probably make a lot more sense why), one of the main themes. 23-27 particularly is the Great Dragon's theme, 10-13 has parts of Kieran's theme (one of the villains who is a Dark elf) whos leitmotif is used to represent most of the Dark elves.

Funny thing it turns out Kieran's theme sounds similar to Midna's theme from TLoZ: Twilight Princess (it was very unintentional, I think I've only really heard her theme once or twice lol). Midna is a Twili, who are Hylians who use dark magic or something like that so I just think it's funny qghjka

Basket Cat · April 11, 2021 11:52:39

Also yes that is Outset Island I butchered the opening but I don't care.

The only thing I changed was I just turned all the presets to woodwinds because it sounds better than the questionable string presets lol

Basket Cat · April 11, 2021 12:00:06

Oh noes I screwed it up

Basket Cat · April 11, 2021 12:00:18

Here this should sound right now

Basket Cat · April 11, 2021 12:22:27

Here's those lyrics I promised you;

"Sleep softly, child of light
Hear my voice, on through this night
Through dark shadows, stay within sight

Sleep gently, don't be afraid
Don't come to fear those who lost their way
I'll hold you safe in my arms
Till the dawn breaks
And shadows give 'way

Rest your head, I'll keep you warm
Even when they clouds start to storm."

Ok I got confused for a few minutes because I thought you had put lyrics to the Outset Island theme and I was xDDD

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 12:28:22

Can you imagine how much worth of property damage Link does whenever he goes around breaking pots lol

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 12:35:41

Also remembering this one time I texted my friend asking what he had eaten for lunch and he sent me back this image

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 14:22:39

Lol one of these days I'm going to begin watching a playthrough of BotW but man I think it would be more fun to actually play it xD

Normally I wouldn't recommend watching a playthrough since there are just so many different ways to do it, but considering that you don't have any access whatsoever to a Switch...yeah.

Make sure it's a "complete story" or something like that, all Divine Beasts, memories, that sort of thing.

Also you need to watch a Tarrey Town quest and listen to the soundtrack.

I'm sorry it sounds like homework but you need to do it

I remember trying to make some new food (or just getting some random items like rock salt and monster parts) and throwing food into the pot in hopes of creating something and just getting dubious food xD

Yeahhhhh I don't think I'll ever get a switch lol
Ah dw my friend has given me directions on how to watch it so I'm r e a d y xD.

You have a Switch tho right? Must be fun xD
I just use computer lol it's hard to use the joystick-thingy function because you can't aim it, it goes completely towards the direction you try to point it in. Makes it a true challenge to use the mirror shield lol.

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 17:18:32

Lol idk I just thought it was really funny.

I do have a Switch, Breath of the Wild was the first game I bought with it. First Zelda game too and boy am I glad it was BoTW

Basket Cat · April 12, 2021 17:22:35

I also have the Switch remake for Link's Awakening and I'm planning on buying Skyward Sword HD when it's released. I also heard that nintendo might port Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD and I can only hope because I'm not sure I can go and buy a WiiU

I found one at GameStop once but that was like a year ago lol

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 18:13:44

Oh man that's cool! I bet you really enjoyed playing through BotW. It's more like an open-world adventure, right?
I've heard that Skyward Sword is a good game but idk I only know it from clips and the Wikipedia summary lol

Basket Cat · April 12, 2021 20:16:27

It's pretty open-world but has a lot of story and side quests in it, which is probably why I loved it so much. Generally I'm not into games that have no real purpose but Zelda is different lol

The only complaint I really heard about Skyward Sword was the funky motion controls on the Wii lol

Did you know that Robin Williams (a now-deceased actor who voiced the Genie in Aladdin among other things) named his daughter Zelda after the game
