Mo Shíorghrá (2020)

https://soundcloud.com/user-427542889/mo-shiorghra/s-oPacS

This is a remake of a track I posted last year. Last time I used POPBAL.STY and different instruments on the intro. I think this new style suits the feel of the tune much better.

ROVE.STY Roving Americana Folk

684 Bass, Electric, PopHalfNote 120
3147 Mandola, Rhythm Americana Folk Andy 120
Real Drums Folk 8ths
405 Guitar Acoustic Strumming 120
692 Guitar Acoustic Strumming Ac RockBright 120
2534 Guitar 12-string Acoustic Held Chords

Recorded at 112 bpm (original was 85)

Additional instruments (Reason 11).
Solo Mandolin, Piccolo, Orchestral Flute, Concert Grand Piano, Orchestral Strings, Choir.

Mixed with Audacity.

This is a wonderful listen. The arrangement is stunning and your choice of instruments is superb.

First class music everywhere!

I have just finished watching a 50-episode Chinese drama on Netflix called "The Untamed" and this composition of yours would have fitted perfectly. The ambience that you create is haunting, mystical and magical. I totally enjoyed listening.

If you're interested, here is the opening theme of The Untamed... you won't have to listen for long to understand what I mean. The show is nothing short of spectacular.

I see (or rather hear) what you mean. Very impressive. Might have to invest in some ethnic sound-sampling suites if I am to produce anything close to that. wink

Nice work on this smile I agree with Noel about - the arrangement is rock solid, and the choice of instruments is on the money. It all flows effortlessly, and I live the atmosphere it sets.

Thanks for sharing!

Excellent backtrack. Lovely melody. I can see it being background for a documentary on the Scottish highlands

This caught my ear from the start.

Nice mix, pleasant melody, over too soon (which is much better than being too long). Interesting balance between the instruments.

Nice work! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks Torrey. The original was much slower and perhaps a bit too reflective. The faster pace certainly livens it up!

The Reason elements are icing on the musical cake.
The melody is quite familiar in places, (Streets of London), - probably because of the flutes.

Yes, Ray, sometimes certain instruments in a composition remind us of something we've heard before. As far melody goes a comparison of notation (if both are written in 'F') shows no discernible similarity.
