The Last Of Us - Main Titles (recomposed)

Shapeshifter scene (Action, Rescore - DnD: Honour among Thieves)

Starbound is the ninth album by American musician Shnabubula (Samuel Ascher-Weiss), and his fourth released by Ubiktune.

ARTIST NOTES

Shnabubula: "This album comes from pure emotion. I poured everything into it. All 42 minutes are part of a singular journey, but I divided it into five tracks so that you're not forced to take the whole thing all at once. This was also done to allow you to easily revisit whichever part speaks most to you."

III The Arena

Nature. The natural world. Nature. Human nature. Interpersonal dynamics--the nature of action, interaction, and reaction amongst people--are treated of in this song. Musically, the verses hark back to somewhat mediaeval movements--ascension from a minor tonic to harmonically tense cadential chords, melismatic delivery in the vocal, and clustered harmonic colour recall the pomp of the chanson courtoise, and the retrospective "feudalism" of such tracks as "Knights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues and Nick Drake's "Way To Blue". The colloquy of the first and second verses--Knight Errant and Lady Aloof--is incongruously ruptured by a blues-tinged refrain, admonishing us (somewhat ironically) to keep our nature ("precious nature") to our "very own natural self". There follows a bridge of split chords, ninths, major-sevenths, and general jazzy/easy listening character, before recapitulation of the courtly opening theme. We have been told that "till you love yourself, you cannot love somebody else". The next verse focuses on barter and trade brought to the point of infringement upon nature: "suns and bright blue skies" for sale in "the market square". The fourth verse, however, returns to nature in the form of the forest, where refuge and silence await, but bewilderment and disorientation also hold threat to a visionary or preoccupied mind. The death of images and ideas, and the resultant clarity and emptiness, is what is needed to sublimate "past and future into eternal now". To live "with no pretence"; to conduct one's self "with no selfishness": this is what it is to have "true intent", to verily be Nature, in and of your self. (Painting: "Little Botanist" by John Atkinson Grimshaw)

Nature (True Intent)

Recorded very late one night (early one morning). Hence, relative quietude and softness. Dipping into the wells of Arthurian romance on this one--Avalon; ye olde folk tradition of England--Albion; and some T. S. Eliot--"...Ionian white and gold." [Image: "Landor's Cottage," by Harry Clarke)

Eclogue Regal (demo)

Text - William Butler Yeats; Music Benjamin Britten

Recorded this on a whim in the kitchen with tap dancing upstairs neighbours - and it sounds like it. :)
