A Tear Drops Pt2 (contextual) - Oliver Patrice Weder

Track Notes
~~~~~~~~~~
The track title as well as the picture are a nod to one of the games in the popular Assassin's Creed video-game franchise, which is set in a medieval Italian backdrop and features a protagonist named Ezio who ... you guessed it ... is an assassin. I've never actually played the games and this song was in no way inspired by them, but after I composed it I settled on this name because for me the song conjures up images of medieval intrigue/drama, so it seemed fitting.

Instrument Discussion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PERCUSSION: tom, hand drum. snare, dayre

I'm continuing a trend I started recently of including 4 different drums in a track. I have a dayre (similar to tambourine) on the far right and a snare drum on the far left to widen the soundstage. Meanwhile a medieval hand drum features toward center, accented by the occasional bassy boom of a tom drum.

WIND: clarinet

The wind instrument that kicks in after the quieter vocal section in the middle of the track (and subsequently features in the outro) is a turkish clarinet.

BOWED: hurdy gurdy (rhythm + drone), tromba marina

The instrument you hear producing the drone and rhythmic buzzing is a hurdy gurdy, which is a popular medieval stringed instrument. The hurdy gurdy is an instrument that can also be played melodically, like a violin, though that feature is something I don't use in this particular track. Needless to say, it's a very versatile instrument :)

The instrument producing a harsh staccato-like sound toward the far right of the soundstage in the latter half of the song is a tromba marina, a positively quintessential medieval instrument that I absolutely love.

PLUCKED: gittern, baroque guitar

The gittern is a type of medieval lute. It is the "guitar-like" plucked instrument that can be heard toward the left side of the soundstage. The baroque guitar meanwhile plays a more supporting role and is panned to the right side of the soundstage.

VOCALS: lead female vocalist (soprano), lead male vocalist (counter-tenor), male vocal shouts

As per usual the vocals were recorded using true legato sampled VSTs, meaning that these melodic lines were composed and recorded by hand and that no pre-recorded phrases were used.

Gomorrah

This self-isolation period during the COVID-19 pandemic has yielded many compositional moments of reflection. "Lone" uses mainly instruments from the British site pianobook.co.uk. The piano is the Weber Baby Grand, and their are string sounds from Dan Keen, a celeste from Stefingo Unosson, the subtle clarinet from Catherine Hiller and a variety of pads from Joshua Meltzer. I also used strings from Spitfire Audio LABS.
