Description : This is a Scandinavian flavored tune in 5/4 (we danes have children songs in this meter, so it is quite natural to us). It is partly inspired by a chaos session by the modular synth artist Vurt from KVR Audio, which we use for all effects in the tune. To learn a little about Jotuns, go to the song lyrics.

I love this tune and I love the synth sound. It's a shame I can't download as I'd love to have it on my iPod.

Thanks again, Michael. Yeah, it is a bit on the industrial side, not at least due to Vurt’s modular magic. Sometimes inspiration comes from where you least expected it. We just listened to the noise for a while and then figures emerged.

Kind Regards

I don't mind at all. It will be our pleasure whatever you come up with. We are not commercial either, so it is just shared creativity and play to us.

I dig it. It has kind of a Dead Can Dance vibe to it. Not quite as ethereal. Which is good. This is more industrial with that delicious Scandinavian flavoring. Good work. Hopefully you'll bring more Scandi-trad to the table.

Take care.

We will. Promise, and thank you very much, sir. Also for recognizing the industrial inspiration. Our basses basically always point in that direction.

OK. If you do not need me to remove leads, I can make them downloadable at once. I will do this right away. They will be downloadable for 24 hours. I would love to hear the results. If you want, you can just post them on Looperman with references to the original tracks if you want, so people can hear what you make out of them. I will go make them ready for download now.

Cheers

Just great, but can I get a track for non-commercial singing?
TribeOfHofund
TribeOfHofund replied 5th Nov 2022 - 2 years ago
Greetings Shaman77. You just want to sing on top of this or do you want a version where I remove the leads, so you can make some melodies yourself? Or maybe you do not mean this track in particular, but something you can sing too? I can check out some of our tracks without leads and see if any of them is suitable for singing instead.

Kind Regards
Gothi

nice work guys the ethnic sounds you bring certainly portray your territory as Scandinavian, its a pleasure to listen to, talented musicians. its cinematic and could be used in many ways, it building impactful and it sheds a sparkle too offering hope, the tribal drum is portraying a driven attitude, nice work boys

The instruments sound interesting. I wonder what plugins you used.
TribeOfHofund
TribeOfHofund replied 5th Nov 2022 - 2 years ago
Hi
Thanks for dropping by and showing interest for our tools. This is mainly an ITB production, so we make use of some plugins all right :-)

The Hurdy Gurdy in the A-part is from the Scandinavian Roots Vol. 1 ReFill loaded into the NNXT Sampler in Reason.

During its second round, the Hurdy Gurdy is harmonized with a Cello (to the left) made with Reason´s Friktion physical modeling synth.

The main instrument in the B-part is a Sweedish bagpipe from the same ReFill loaded into NNXT. However, it is droned and layered with octaved bagpipes sampled from the Korg Prophecy physical modeling synth.

The flute is an Offerdale Flute from Scandinavian Roots as well.

The choir is a patch I made with Reason´s Combinator module, where I morphed the Humana Choir ensemble with other choir samples to create more dynamic and realistic vocals.

The bass wave sequence is made with sampled bass shots from my beloved HW Polivoks synth and just as admired Repro-1 softie.

Peter´s guitar is recorded raw in several takes, noise treated, and layered subtly with itself to get a fuller sound that does not drown in the mix.

Kind Regards
Gothi

Description : Inspired by traditional turkic and mongolic old music. The choice of instruments, such as oud and Daf, are an inspiration from the turkish culture and some rythm styles are inspired by mongolian music. I Hope you enjoy it and have use for it.

Description : This track is an experimental version of the popular Hindu mantra Om Namah Shivaye, wonderfully sung by Ankit Sharda. The female background vocalist doesn't want her name mentioned in the credits.

The song was created on Caustic Beta Version 3.8, and mastered on Mastering Beta Version 5; both Android apps from Single Cell Software. The new Sawsynth synthesizer in Caustic was used in the background & synth bass (paired with another bass).

Description : Not sure about the sideboards on the Ethnic genre. Trying out new sounds here. I'm using sitar and marimba with Indian and Indonesian drums. Does the listener need a solo or spoken word after the melody or does the open part work by itself?
I think it's a good piece. Almost.

Description : This is a Latin -Spanish flavored tune. In fact, I don't see a catagory for it so I put it under 'Ethnic'.

I eat now and then at a 'Mighty Taco' resturant near me and decided to call this one "El Nino". :-)

This tune is kinda off beat for me, but I am sure someone on here will like it. Made from loop a CD I have full of Nylon guitar loops only, I purchased early last year, and put together with other loops and synth for weird effects.
Ha.....maybe I am getting weird since my last tune was heavy metal!
Hope you like it.
