Flight Rising Discussion

Hey y'all, I took a couple hours and made a little 8-bit version of the song the ancient Banescale sing in the "Born in Fire and Flame" story entry. I tried to match the rhythm of the melody to the lyrics, so you should be able to follow along.

Edit: This is a newer version, I made some tiny changes. Mostly smoothing out some harmonic...err, irregularities haha.

It begins with the E-G indicated on the first teaser, I tried to make it sound "fiery" and somewhat melancholy but 8-bit music has its limitations haha. It's also pretty repetitive, I might flesh it out into a small wind ensemble piece so I can get rid of some of the repetitiveness and utilize that sweet, sweet brake drum (band kids you know what I'm talking bout).

Anyway, enjoy!

I like how your piece suddenly ends in the major chord lol(reminds me of JSBach). Great work!!!! I love this a lot and would be super interested if you actually do a wind ensemble version :) It'll be really great to add the bright tones of brass instruments, could also have some nice flute embellishments
ignore me if i'm talking nonsense i only play the piano and know a tiny bit theory

Ping me if you do one not in 8-bit form. I'm not a fan of the 8-bit style so I couldn't listen to much of it before having to close it. But I'd gladly listen to it in another style ^.^

I like 8-bit music so much, this is amazing!
I like the background clanking, like the ancient, older Banes are using primal variations of musical instruments to pass the time in their sad cave.

I can't stop listening
Amazing work ! ~

@Theophilus

Thanks! That ending is actually a technique known as a Picardy Third and I'm pretty sure it's a technique Bach utilized a ton. I agree, a wind ensemble version could add a lot more color, I'm leaning more toward the idea!

@vihuff

Sorry, the 8-bit is definitely pretty grating. I'll definitely let you know if I make a better version!

@Angelsand

Thanks!! I was trying to capture a metalworking vibe, but the best thing I had was woodblock lol. I'm glad it still worked out!

Yeah I studied about it in my theory class XD Please ping me as well if you make other versions! Thanks<3

OH MY GOD I LOVE IT! BRUH IT FITS SO GOOD IT HAS THE SAME VIBE
genuinely just had a good time with that, thank you for making me happy this is great

@etui @Jorlue

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!

This was beyond well done :o it honestly astounds me sometimes how people can make such amazing things, especially music! 8ibit, in this style explicitly, is one of my absolute favorite things to listen to. Its very well composed and fitting for the banescale. Awesome work!!
(I now really want to see an 8bit game to pair with this music haha)
