Hey everyone, accidentally stumbled upon this, and decided that 1) was pretty cool, and 2) that this needed a little bit more exposure, and that hopefully you guys like it as I do. Anyway, enjoy

Thats actually not that impressive.

I could duplicate that in a few minutes using the midi(which is probably how he did it).

I have actually sat down before wanting to rework it into a more ambient type track, but I'm so fond of the original I couldn't do anything to it. Its perfect the way it is.

[Kestrel]

Needs more cowbell.

[Putnam]

I've wanted to record a version of the song with a bit less static in the background (you can really hear it during the slow section, especially when the harmonic is played), but I don't have a classical guitar or a capo, so I can't really do that.

[Mitchewawa]

That is actually awesome. Sounds a bit less 'twangy', and a bit more strange.

[BlueAnchorite]

It may not be everyone's thing, differing opinions etc, just wanted to put it out there to see if others would enjoy it

 What midi? The original music is in .ogg format...
 And here's a direct quote from the youtube description :

The song is created from scratch on digital platform using studio softwares.

[Frogwarrior]

Interesting... Decently done.
The echo adds a nice touch. ^__^

[acetech09]

Sounds more like he just use garageband and messed around with a few effects... more than 'made from scratch'

I'm sorry to say, but if i was the original author of the dwarf fortress sound track music, and somebody said they wanted to offer me a licensing deal to use a remastered recording of my work in a film placement, and then played me this, i would groan and say "oh god it's horrible"...

...And then i would say "ok ok yes go ahead i need the money".

[Necromunger]

I like the correctness of the timing of the notes for this BUT.


It does not even scratch the surface of the magic of the original.

Sorry mate but i think its a good try.

[KainInt]

Oh hey look, a thread relevant to stuff I'm doing.

When I picked up DF, I noticed the music had a certain charm too it, and made it my goal to fuck it up dramatize it.

So, I started work on remixing it into a movie-style track.

I plan on using no samples of the actual song, basically referring to it for tone, and chord structure.

The sample I am posting is a grand total of maybe an hours work, as I continue to be distracted by the actual game. It is nowhere near complete, and may not resemble this sample at all once it IS complete.

I came across this while looking at the first video, and found a website to convert it to a .ogg file to use as my in-game music.

I love it; just wish it were a couple minutes longer since the loop point is obvious and comes up frequently.

[Nyxalinth]

I like it. Nothing can replace the original, but that doesn't mean I can't like this, too

I'm both a DJ and producer, when I produce I work mainly in FL and ableton. FL has a new plugin called Melodyne, you can drop in any piece of music and it will give you the notes played. Its also pretty accurate. Once I've got that I can just drop the midi notes into any instrument and play with it however I like.

http://www.soundcloud.com/za-pagan is my soundcloud. Ghosts and goblins was made with a midi of the theme song from the game.
