Simon Swerwer is the best - you should listen to him too
« on: July 15, 2016, 10:36:00 am »
I listen to him all the time at SoundCloud. He makes awesome dwarven music. My favorite is Danger Room - with authentic dwarven lyrics!

When I get bored of Dwarf Fortress, it's Swerwer's music that brings me back. Usually to make a tavern and "listen" to the dwarves singing, as I listen to Swerwer singing!

I knew only Tankard Basher (sang along to that one more than a few times), but I recently learned that there were more. I'm going to give those a try, now! Thanks for reminding me :)

Hello,

I know it's a quite old topic, but...

Do any of you know if Simon Swerwer is still active ? I tried to track him of internet, but without success. Did he really only make 2 dwarf albums to then disappear forever ?

Why, it does seem to be the case.

New song or new DF: Which will arrive first?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Ugh, I know. I literally found out today, and I paid for a new subscription last week. Happy times.

I just put all the SoundCloud ones on YouTube though, if any of you frequent that place.

EDIT: Thanks for the heads-up, btw!

Yeah his music captures the atmosphere of Dwarf Fortress perfectly. They're on the default Soundsense version iirc.
