Sorry to go slightly OT, but is there a higher bit-rate version of the (vanilla) guitar solo of DF theme / prelude?

I have a decent hi-fi setup and the low bit-rate really rears its ugly head.

I don't mean to deflect from the fantastically dark sound of the piano version (thank you sirocco) but some people where asking for an orchestral version, well it exists on youtube already

I would highly recommend you publish your mp3 on youtube sirocco, it has a wide audience.

Hmm. It seems to be well done enough, but I still like Sirocco's arrangement better, I reckon. This one seems a bit choppy in places and doesn't have the same melodic flow to it.

No I mean the classical acoustic guitar that the ingame original theme was played with.

Funnily enough it was actually Sirocco or rather, his character and Tehsid's going-ons in Syrupleaf that got me into DF in the first place.

As for the theme, it's brilliant! Dark and yet hopeful...

Here's a rough and ready orchestrated version of the title screen music:

Nice; I'd suggest that the background melody be put a little more forward to increase the coherency in the second half of that, but otherwise it's fantastic.

Small request: is it possible if you could redo the piano versions at the same tempo as how fast the pieces are played in vanilla theme music?

Yeah I'll maybe tidy it up at some point when I'm not busy. I COULD speed the dwarf fortress theme to original speed but it would sound awful.

Question: Possible for nomination in the Hall of Legends? We need music like this for those legends like those  :D

Also, beautiful work on that Sirocco Occoris! I couldn't find a word better than beautiful in the current time, dwarfy might be it but... I'm not sure what dwarfy really is here.
