Chikachu 402 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Alright! So, as some of you know, for the past while I have been working on writing songs to make a sort of mini soundtrack to LOTC for the benefit and joy of the players. Well, as an update, I have officially written all I can in regards to songs (and since, at the moment, my computer prevents me from being able to record anything, writing is really all I am currently capable of) so I need all of you guys to help me write more! Here is what I need: I need people willing to take a bit of time out of their likely busy gaming schedule to describe to me something about the race they play/one of the races they play/the race they feel most connected to. This includes subraces, and if you are particularly connected to a certain subrace I would encourage you to post for them as well. Here's a little form to make life easier, though you don't have to follow it if you don't want to. Race/Subrace: Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): Glad to have your help! Have a good day! -Chi Edits: I think I'm also going to add cultures to this, so if you want to include a culture you are welcome to. Another note to add in here: I could REALLY use the help of any male singers and I REALLY need help with translating. Especially Elvish.... I can figure out most of the sentences, but my words are often odd. It would be interesting to sing a Kha song in their language too, so if you could do that it would be awesome.

Volutional 935 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I can't wait to see what you come up with, please update me when you make progress! I was going to do this a while back but I was too inexperienced a composer. Now, a year later, I think I'm pretty average so if you need some critical opinions I can provide them. :) Also, HE IMMOLATED THEMMMM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-yiCjz7c2A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikachu 402 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm hoping to at least be able to publish a few of the songs before 4.0 but I'm running out of time quickly. I'm also currently considering including an extended edition of Anadune as well, just for fun. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayfishchris 751 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Race/Subrace: High Elves Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Yes. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: Classical music, most definitely. Ballroom, as well. What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: If they had lyrics to them, they would most likely be in elven and about purity or knowledge. What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): Opera and ballroom pieces.

Addled 62 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Race/Subrace: Kharajyr. Cheetrah/Tigrasi/Pantera Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Yes. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: Kharajyr music would focus mainly on the beat. They generally play but aren't limited to percussion instruments. If you can imagine tribal music, Kharajyran music would be just that with a possibly a little flair due to their recent proximity towards other races and other cultures. What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: Metztli, the Moon, Prides, Family, Togetherness, Remaining strong under hardship, Hunting, Nature(Jungle). The Kha are a prideful race so I imagine their songs would have a little self-praise in there too perhaps at the expense of belittling another race. What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): War songs, Religious music. The Kha have get togethers like sacrifices, feasts and hunts often so it might be possible to just have songs made just for fun. Though they aren't notoriously the best singers around, there are quite a few kha that like singing. [This might not fit. But I figured if you suspend disbelief or at the very least take out the main voice. The humming and the beat could serve as a good example for a version of kharajyr music.] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTaauYDzjtw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arial Meadowbloom 31 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Race/Subrace: High Elf, Dedicant, Adunian, Meadowbloom-Brae Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Yes, my main character. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to. If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: I don't have an example link, but flute music would work the best. Violins, too, with high, soft and easy listening melodies. As the song progresses, I imagine more instruments being added underneath. Hearty, deep instrumental music by the end. What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: The beauty of nature, love and life itself. What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): Lullabies, ones so soft they could put a child to sleep.~ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightangale 10 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just putting some links to songs that fit the descriptions. They are instrumental but they fit what you said well in my opinion. Meh, why not. I know snelfs aren't a sub-race but whatever. Race/Subrace: Snow Elf Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Mhm. I created it. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: Celtic, somewhat 'wild' yet also civilized, with possibly a touch of delicacy? I know that ain't much to go on, but meh. What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: Nature, most often winter. Also, a few about war, I suppose. What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): Religious, I would suppose. A bit more... 'spiritual' and close to nature. Maybe something similar to: This kinda has a winter feel to it... Delicate and wild at parts. It lacks a Celtic feel but gives off a rather spiritual feel to it. This one has a sorta tribal feel, closer to Celtic. Race/Subrace: High Elf, Dedicant, Adunian, Meadowbloom-Brae Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Yes, my main character. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to. If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: I don't have an example link, but flute music would work the best.

Aedan The Bard 350 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Elves Race/Subrace: Elves in general. Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Yes. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: Folk, subtly Celtic. Music that would sound soft, kind, delicate and charming, with a lot of life to its sound. What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: Life, Nature, old tales and poems, as well as mythology. What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): Lullabies, a few ballads here and there, but mostly instrumental music and sung poems. Perhaps a few jigs, too. A few examples: "Wild Adunians" (Some of the Adunian Clans that have banded together, who follow Pagan, Norse and Celtic traditions) Race/Subrace: Adunians. Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: Yes. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: This, being a sub-culture of Adunia (unofficial), would listen to a more folk, Norse, pagan sort of music with Celtic roots. A genre would be Viking Folk, German Folk, Celtic Folk, and perhaps the acoustic derivations of several sub-genres of Folk Metal. What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: Poems, songs about their ancestors or their past. Legends, tales and mythology would be all over the place. What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): War songs, lullabies, ballads, victory songs, sagas, to mention a few.

Space 2335 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I have a few bardic songs I've written for my character. Here's the only one that I really put much effort in. Might be cool to have it. Might not be. Smeh. The Great Pink Haired Man There once lived a dwarf named Pikel Boldshoulder His hair, colourful His heart, much bolder He came to us in our hour of need He lived by a creed, did a great deed He and 4 brave warriors Faced with many barriers They ventured into the nether They did it with great haste Only 4 were turned paste Defeat the evil Iblees They tossed an axe into a pit And also one of the heroes… **** He was a true hero He asked for no fame Not even a dame So if you see pink You’d better rethink That could be Pikel Boldshoulder Admittedly, much older Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfate786 1690 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Race/Subrace: All Undead and Mages studying unkown magic Have you played a character from this (sub)race?: No, but i was shocked that the scourge did not have a theme and that most mages using forbidden magic had no theme. Describe how you imagine the music this (sub)race would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: Something cold and sinister almost as though exploring a unkown and potentially sinister force, a mix of this warcraft classic: And this song: might make something interesting if used somehow... What do you imagine this (sub)race's songs would be about?: Mystery,Immortality, Strife, The thirst for knowledge, and more. What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): A war song for the undead would probably be like: A song for those who are delving into the mystical forces of the world would be: This is more like a suggestion for a song for the undead race and one for magic users.
