[Urist McVoyager]

Seconding the above. It should be something you get used to. I didn't like Cruxshadows first time I listened to them, then they wound up becoming my favorite band for years.

[JellyfishGreen]

I like this.  Both the two-instrument Suitor and the beat poet in the bathtub.

At first when I heard the dwarves were creating random music and art I thought it was just more background flavour, but you turning it into IRL music is like breaching another level of the Matrix altogether.

In 2050 our artists will always have to credit their AI co-composers, who will appear in an avatar form of their own choosing, fashionable or not.

If it sounds a close to how the game says it should then that'd be better, most cultures have different sounding music that our own culture may not like the sound of so this is pure dwarven music and it's bound to sound different!
I may have to scout around in my game and find something, I'd love to have a bash at this!

[SimRobert2001]

I love it. it would really add some flavor to DF if there were more of these songs.

[Cerapter]

PTW, I wanna hear more dwarven folksongs.

Has anybody taken one of these procedural songs and had it played entirely by live musicians instead of synth?

Related question - where are y'all finding these descriptions of songs, dwarven theory and song forms? I haven't found them in legends yet, and I'm starting a project for which I'd like to have a large number of song forms from the same world available to me.

[TheBiggerFish]

PTW.

They're looking in-game during activities.

I'll probably write an exporter for all music forms of the world as soon as that structure is all mapped out. If I can get to the point where I can figure it out, I'll also write a thing to write out the rhythms, scales and chord structures too, since those are described in sufficient detail to write as MIDI AFAIK.

A thousand times this! I've got an actual orchestra that would play some of this music if I can arrange it for them. If anyone else has gone there already, I'd love to talk/hear about it/etc.

Could you please post the audio somewhere it won't expire?
For posterity's sake.
Also, I want to hear it.

[jecowa]

This sounds interesting. I'd like to hear what some music on some weird scales sounds like.

Motion Seconded! Perhaps to the YouTubes?

I third this motion. Is spotify an option?

[Melting Sky]

How did I miss this thread. I would love to hear the results. The links appear to have expired.

[Timeless Bob]

Yes, expired links.  If the OP would post their frocess for turning the descriptions into acoustics, then others may be able to replicate the process. (Possibly even write a program to do so automatically, then port it to "Soundsense", so that it will play that tune when it is being played during the game...)
