Hey hey, today I release two pieces which are closely connected: Theme for Cariad: https://youtu.be/niUZMYIfWEI OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o4awk2vd8va1v9t/theme_for_cariad.ogg And a four part organ fugue: Fugue for Cariad: https://youtu.be/Qmp7owQzteM OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/86mnd1v6jtnjrgj/fugue_for_cariad.ogg In case anyone is wondering: cariad is Welsh for beloved. The theme for Cariad is a kind of soundtrack, a string quintet. I used the VPO (virtual player orchestra). It is a good collection and the best free orchestra in SFZ format I know, yet in this instance it falls short, being so very exposed. I suppose an even better volume automation might still get it closer. Still, I tried to really work on my string arrangement skills and none course worthier than love. The fugue for Cariad uses Aeolus, which eliminates any questions of sound. Great organ! It is a four part fugue, reminiscent of the baroque style. Only, I cheated and it would take two players, since the piece makes heavy use of all three manuals at the same time, which is certainly not historic. Still, it is the first four part fugue that I have written and again I'm very happy that I was inspired to juggle the voices by her. For the theme I used jconvolver/fconvolver with an impulse response of the Concertgebouw, very little else in the way of production. A touch of EQ and compression on the final master to glue the instruments together. If nothing else both pieces radiiate a bit of festive spirit or something to relax into with a cup of something hot in your favourite comfy spot. :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c Don't worry, you're gonna be alright, But Cinderella's got to go <3 (Britney Spears) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
