[LAU] [music] In the night

Hey hey, here's a winterly ballad, which starts quite sad and unfulfilled, but will have a happy end. https://youtu.be/kEQMzARj8ks OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxbnkk8aneakbfn/in_the_night.ogg It's all centred around the piano. I'd like to make another special mention of Csound for the ticking clock. Instruments used: LinuxSamler for piano, bass, one guitar, xylophone and the VPO strings, which are great for performance, DrumGizmo with the Aasimonstr2 kit, which can show so many sonic facettes, and Yoshimi for a few subtle details. The Behringer Neutron adds a little soft sub bass and the "octave tremolo" sound. Comments as ever are welcome. I hope you enjoy it. The lyrics are below. Best wishes, Jeanette I'd rather be your voice, when you wake up in the night. I'd sooth you with a smile and strive to be your light. I'd burn alive and fall apart elsewhere. You'd never see me break and tear my heart. I'd rather hear you speak of things without import Than live a life devoid of you And bear the pain of that finality And walk that road of misery. I'd rather brave the bleak, sad lands of autumn hue. Your kind and tender heart, your quick and ready smile. Were just two traits of you I fell In love with, yet uncertain all the while I did not dare to tell That I love you. Thus, unware you shared The treasures of your heart. - Talk with me of books and roses, Laugh with me 'bout silly jokes. Don't be scared when I confess that I've fallen for you. And now you are my voice, in the middle of the night. All Lies In Shades Of Nacreous blue. We made a world of wonders unforeseen, A sea which sparkles with a magic sheen. Now you gave me the choice, I wander at your site. -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c They say, break away - I'm missing out on the fun and games <3 (Britney Spears)
