Sir Holt Ironfell, Grandmaster Bard of Poets' Circle, presents his first and proudest piece "Dance of Fawns" in honor of Lord British and Richard Garriott's spiritual successor to Ultima: "Shroud of the Avatar". 

Holt - "Dance of Fawns" (The Hidden City)

Final submission for the SotA filler piece "Beautiful Meadow".  Made with Magix Music Maker.

Beautiful Meadow (LB Approved) by Jarrod Kailef - SotA TTF Track (The Long Walk)

I reworked on choirs and added main melody to middle part and used more EQ to separate background from leading melodies.

Dark Planet (Shroud Of The Avatar Intro Cinematic Theme)

Lord British requested a variety of changes, and I have done the following:

1. I completely removed all non-period instruments.

2. I broke up the main piano melody to add variation.

3. I added some additional xylophone as I find that really gives a "clockpunk" sort of feel, including one brief xylophone riff used in the other Kobold song to add a little continuity between the two

4. I added plucked acoustic bass and in one area, bow-drawn acoustic bass to add a dramatic feel.  This replaces the bass guitar and electric guitar with a much more period sound.

5. I tried to use a few different instruments in place of the piano (a harpsichord as LB suggested) but it didn't sound right.  So instead I used a combination of compression and some low-pass filters on the keys to reduce the overall brightness of the tone.

6. I added a few lower volume "metal hits" to help add a gritty "steam tunnel" feel to the song.

7. I removed all of the echo and reverb from the instruments to create the feel of a tighter, more confined space.  (Except for the metal hits, as it makes sense for them to resonate)

8. During the more tense moments I simulated a "tick tock" sound by alternating bass drum hits between the left and right channel.

Kobold Invention (LB Approved) by Jarrod Kailef - SotA Major Track (At What Cost)

Not being entirely certain what music for the River Styx should sound like, this is my best attempt at it.  :)  I think this song might be a little too engaging, but it depends.  If there's combat going on, I think it will be great.  If the scene where this music is played doesn't have combat, it might not be quite the right thing.

My rendition of Misty Mountains as heard during the scene at Bilbo Baggins' house where only two verses are sung by Thorin and his men. Enjoy x

Lyrics: 
Far over the misty mountains cold, 
To dungeons deep and caverns old, 
We must away, ere break of day 
To find our long forgotten gold.  
The pines were roaring on the height, 
The winds were moaning in the night, 
The fire was red, its flaming spread 
The trees like torches blazed with light.

Misty Mountains (The Hobbit) - Sharm

It truly is still left untitled. Yet, I had to name it something to save it. It will find its title one day. Until then.. it remains...




Feeling the tears well up in my eyes
I fight them back, I do not want to cry
This is the hardest thing i will have to do
Wear this mask of smiles as we say goodbye to you

My heart shatters and I just want to hide
racing for the shadows, "safer here" i lied
Facing the people, I worry and dread
This pain in my heart making me wish i was dead

With a brush you stroked the very essence of my soul
Gave me strength to move forward when life dealt such blows
For you helped me awaken the greatness in me
Without your help it may have never been seen.

With colours more vibrant then my personal greys
You helped me learn of a future with brighter days
Now the clouds have rolled over, the sky turned pitch black
I am returned to the shadows, where I can not be attacked.

A feeling of cold darkness enters my soul
Alone once again, can I keep fighting, i do not know.
No one will ever understand the strength I got from  you
Watching you create masterpieces as only you can do

NO one will ever understand what I am trying to say
Why I feel like this for you, you helped show me the way
I soon started to remember what you helped me want from my life
I must seek out the light, it will hurt but it will be alright

Things will move forward, although my heart feels like dying
I will face another day, with an exclamation mark of sighing.


Thank You For Giving Me Hope

Bayous and Underbrush

I tried to make this track both a little atmospheric and "creepy" sounding since it will be played among ruins and such.  However, since it's also a combat song, I worked hard to give it a urgent, aggressive feel as well.  I hope you like it.
