Jazz-Like Original? | Irre Duellanten, Duel Under The Blue Moonlight by Tempura | Ocha published on 2020-07-24T17:50:05Z Irre Duellanten (Mad Duelists) , Duel Under The Blue Moonlight I imagined this song as a battle theme of a spar between two friends of equal footing in prowess. I also had an image of a RPG boss battle when composing this! This song is quite upbeat with a-lot of jazzy embellishments, chords etc. Honestly, I just wanted to scratch an itch of attempting a Jazz styled song;; __________________________________________________________ Saluten! Today, I present another original, this time with a jazzy twist. Touhou-style is good and all but I'm trying to branch out a bit. That said this song still has heavy traces of Touhou, especially in the melodies. Oh well, sometimes your inspirations leek through, I suppose. Oh if you're wondering about the sudden German, my school has German language classes so I figured might as well title something in German. I tried to embellish and vary my chords a bit ( Extensions! Spicy extensions~ ) Put a bit more thought into them. It's so cool how can you make them more expressive by adding some new notes. I'm actually pretty satisfied with this track! It sounded like what I trying to achieve. A jazz-sounding boss battle theme or so I hope.. I do have a gut feeling that It is lacking something but for now it is fine by me. Still going strong towards my goal of at least 2-3 originals a month! A road to improvement! __________________________________________________________ Name : Irre Duellanten, Duel Under The Blue Moonlight Composer : Tempura-Ocha Tempo : 156 Key Sigs. : F# min, G min, G# min (Minor keys for easier reference) Time Taken : 16-hours (According to FL) - Instrumentation - Steinberg The Grand 3 -Model D Closed Steinberg The Grand 3 - Yamaha C7 Closed Steinberg The Grand 3 - Yamaha CP-80 Steinberg Retrologue 2 - Sweep Up Steinberg Retrologue 2 - Silk Carpet EZDrummer - Default Preset Spectrasonics Trillian - Studio Brite - Full Range Spectrasonics Trillian - Momma Tree 2 SWAM Flute - 1 Bright SWAM Trumpet - Satchmo Mastering VST: Izotope Ozone 9 Genre Jazz & Blues
