A song for the Frisisans

[Klaus Halfmann]

The Frisisians desver a Song of theire own, so please lists to the attaced peace,
"The beauty of the flat lands"
(Bendikt: I adjusted the Stereo Positoons of the Instruments,
 so you can better tell them apart)

I like the composition, it is lively and varied and relaxed at the same time :)

Some tweaks I'd like to see:

1. Something's off starting around 2 minutes in. I think the lowest note of the voice sound needs more variation to be more harmonious. I do like music that's a bit atonal, but it doesn't feel quite right to me there.

2. The voice and string padding are too dominant

The original score is here:

please commetn which measure you are concerned with.

I will reduce voice and strings meanwhile

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

It's not a particular measure, it's from around 2:00 on for multiple measures

[Klaus Halfmann (klaus-halfmann)]

OK, I hope I could adress all the issues.

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

Hi Klaus,

can you please reupload the score? I wanted to finally do the work on this that I had planned to do, but the score is gone.

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

never mind, it's now at https://musescore.com/user/18659851/scores/5158456

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

I have done some small edits, with x underneath he notes that I edited - Blockflöte & Frauen. So, you can undo the ones that you don't like.

I think the melodies being played together from measure 84 onwards don't go together - maybe you can play only one of them at the same time, or alter them so they will stop fighting each other.

[Klaus Halfmann (klaus-halfmann)]

OK, I smoothed away some more chords, what do you think?

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

I think that Blockföte and Frauen doesn't go together in the sequence starting from measure 98. I think it's a bit better with the Harmonika, but I think that could get tweaked too.

[Klaus Halfmann (klaus-halfmann)]

Ok here is another try, I made "Frauen" more piano,
so they almost not audible any more.

As you can see - well, hear - in my videos this blends in quite nicely
into the gameplay: e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDTmrIheW9U

I had sort of forgotten about this… :S
@Klaus Could you please provide the latest version as a .ogg file so I can update the branch with it?

[Klaus Halfmann (klaus-halfmann)]

I think you should set up a new branch. The original one is so old,
no idea if merging it will work at all.

After tuning the volumes I had to rearrange stero positions a bit.

[Benedikt Straub (nordfriese)]

Thanks for the file, I updated the branch with it. No point making a new branch for such a small change, I only have to merge in trunk and there won´t be merging problems :)

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

Sounds good - still needs metadata though.

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

Fixed in build20-rc1
