Re: Hi everyone

Hi,
You may be referring to what I think is a feature not a bug: When I used to play cooperative multiplayer games with my ex, I noticed that we only see our moves past the point when they cannot be undone.
Some unit moves can be undo'ed, if they didn't reveal a new part of map or shroud and didn't ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Well this journey has reached its end. :)
The piece has been named "Undead Siege", and has been exported and passed to Dalas for inclusion in mainline. :)
Attached is the score PDF and a high quality mp3 render (forum won't fit nor allow FLAC).

Actually it was exactly one year ago when I started ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Phew, okay, now polishing this piece for the release, hopefully. :)

I've made subtle changes to the composition that nobody should notice, and paid more attention to the mix. I'm uploading it here to test it on other devices.
Comments about the mix from the general public are very welcome!

Re: New Undead themed music

Thanks for your feedback.

I know it's been dragging on since forever, but at the beginning of this year I have finally exported tracks from MuseScore and currently trying to mix them in Ardour.
Since I have no professional audio equipment, my only good chance of succeeding is to try and get a ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Hi Zurvan!

Thanks a lot for your opinion. My work on the Undead theme was fruitless lately because I had other things to do.

Unfortunately I don't know almost anything about the currently existing music. Those pieces have different authors and many of them don't have sheet music, which hints that ...

Re: New Undead themed music


This is very nice! I'm currently working on a HttT revision - do you mind if I use it as part of that? CC BY-SA 4.0?


Sure, but only when I say it's finished. Does that sound reasonable? :)
The license isn't determined yet, but I believe that what you propose is mandatory for mainlining art to ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Thanks for your continuing support. :)

This is my first project of this kind and the first journey with MuseScore. I started writing this piece after I reached out to Discord crowd asking what music is needed, and I chose the undead as allegedly it was in demand.
Many ideas were scrapped including ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Okay the inspiration was now. :)
This is the alpha version of the entire piece. Enjoy!
I think I'll have to rewrite the last couple of seconds, but maybe not?

I'm also attaching sheet music for the curious of my job. ;)

Re: New Undead themed music

Hey @doofus-01. Glad you like it! Just wanted to ask what exactly you meant with string surfacing at 1:30. That's about halfway through the violin solo and I can't remember adding anything special there. :)

As an update, I think I have the entire structure of the piece fixed at this point, with the ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Well, I'm not going to cling to all that symbolism too hard. It was supposed to suggest a general direction, not determine every detail in the outcome. :)

Cymbals were inspired by spellcasters and I think they work okay. Violin arpeggio or whatever it's called, together with swelling female choir ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Hell yeah, finally! This works for me!

I escaped the violin solo with battle theme. Spellcasters enter with a majestic version of the main theme, then followed by ghosts. Then I realized I've spent 3 hours writing some 20 seconds of music, so the rest will follow some other time. :)

Thanks again ...

Re: New Undead themed music

Thanks a lot for your thorough analysis and comment, Spannerbag, much appreciated!

I admit I am a master of inventing new melodies and moods that don't fit each other. :D I got seriously stuck after writing that violin solo and couldn't come up with anything that would work right after that. Indeed ...

Re: New Undead themed music

That's the lowest a violin can do. It was inspired by Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre which has a low pitched violin solo.
In fact, the solo is in key F# and was supposed to end with this note, but the lowest a violin can do is G. ;)

Re: New Undead themed music

Hey Saizo-Luz!
Thanks a lot for feedback. The original idea was to call this piece "Lich summoning the army", and each section was meant to symbolize undead races: ghosts, skeletons and so on. That didn't work at all so I went freestyle with my ideas that pop into my head in the shower. But as you ...

New Undead themed music

Hello everyone,

On Wesnoth Discord channel I was greeted warmly when I offered to compose some new music for Wesnoth. Someone said there isn't enough undead music so I downloaded Musescore and got to work.

After a month of working on it, on and off, I have composed around 2 minutes that I'm quite ...
